75139 Battle on Takodana

Amazon has posted the two upcoming "big" sets based on Star Wars: The Force Awakens with the passage of the official visuals in a resolution much higher than that of the images put online by another brand a few days ago.

It is therefore the opportunity to discover the contents of these boxes in close-up with the bonus of the back of the packaging of each of these two sets. We therefore discover all the gameplay provided by LEGO with falling trees, opening doors or exploding walls for the set 75139 Battle on Takodana and missiles to fire, an opening cockpit and an accessible interior for the ship from the 75140 Resistance Troop Transport set.

These boxes are currently listed without indication of price or availability: The set 75139 Battle on Takodana at this address and the set 75140 Resistance Troop Transport at this address.

Click on the visuals for high resolution versions or go to my flickr gallery.

lego angry birds kinder

It's no longer a secret, LEGO will decline in 2016 the Angry Birds universe in products derived from the film, itself taken from the game. Six boxes are planned to accompany the release of the film (References 75821 to 75826).

So here's what two of the characters in the movie will look like: Bomb, the black bird on the left and Chuck, the yellow bird on the right. Please note, this is an interpretation by LEGO of the adaptation of the characters from the game for the film.

In the end, you will agree, Kinder could easily have landed the job, this type of product is still more in their strings ...

In addition to these characters far from the LEGO spirit, we are however promised a certain playability with the sets provided: The page dedicated to the range of the 2016 retailer catalog who leaked recently presented us with a rather successful set reproducing the boat of Bad Piggies seen in the trailer for the film slated for May 2016.

advent calendar 2015 lord of the rings

I think we all agree to conclude that the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit ranges have lived.

However, we still have a few die-hards who do not let go and who try to make Tolkien's universe survive LEGO style.

Among these courageous adventurers, we find Apg1808 which launched this year in a thematic Advent calendar unveiled daily on its flickr gallery.

I will follow the thing, just to remember the best hours of these ranges too quickly disappeared from the LEGO offer.

If you want to do the same, it's at this address that it happens.

21303 walle lego ideas

As usual, those following already know (see this article) : The and 21303 WALL-E has been discontinued for many weeks to undergo some changes.

LEGO finally decides to officially communicate the reasons for the prolonged break in this reference and even if the information is no longer a secret, the manufacturer publicly admits on the LEGO Ideas blog the problem of stability of the robot's neck and the need to have to correct this design flaw.

In fact, version 2.0 of this box is already available and some customers have just received their copy. After a brief availability on the LEGO Shop, it has also just returned to break with a shipping date scheduled for December 9.

After comparing the two versions of the set, it is apparently possible to differentiate them via the number written on the stickers that seal the box: Those of the first version of the set bear the reference # 28S5 and those of the corrected version bear the reference # 47S5 . It seems that this is the only notable difference between the two boxes.

If you have purchased the first version of this set and you cannot be satisfied with the first version of the robot head fixing system, please do not hesitate to contact customer service to obtain the necessary parts for the implementation of the modification made by LEGO.
