rebels box lol

I received my "Rebel Box"edited by Huginn & Muninn this morning and as you might expect, the A-Wing fighter exclusive included is not the one presented on the box packaging. This is simply the 30272-piece 58 A-Wing Starfighter polybag.

Far from me the idea of ​​doing bashing free, but here, the visual presented on the box is clearly false: We see a model of more than 150 pieces accompanied by a minifigure and when unpacking we end up with a polybag of 58 pieces without a minifigure.

Knowing that the presence of this product is the main selling point of this box sold 24.95 € which also contains two small sticker fasicules and a very shortened version of the illustrated LEGO Star Wars encyclopedia "updated and augmented"(which therefore goes from 144 pages to 48 pages), I think it is fashionable to warn all those who do not want to see disappointment in the eyes of the kid who will frantically search for the minifigure promised on the packaging.

Coincidence or not, the visual that illustrated the product sheet at amazon, and which was originally in very high resolution (Online on my flickr gallery), has been replaced by a smaller version on which the visual of the exclusive A-Wing fighter model included...

Update with a reaction from publisher Huginn & Muninn who contacted me by email.

For the sake of transparency, I publish it in full below:

 I saw your article on the Lego Star Wars Rebel Box. 

Know that it is absolutely not voluntary or considered on our part, knowing that we did not have knowledge of it, and that kind of problem is the antipodes of the requirement which we have towards our productions.

It is therefore for the sake of transparency that I am sending you this email.

I instantly forwarded the problem and your article to the editor of this book, we have seen the problem and are currently investigating the source. We have already contacted the English editor of the original version (DK), and I will let you know what happens next.

Our fans are important to us, and rest assured that we only have their satisfaction in mind when making our works.

So do not hesitate to report any problem with our books or other products directly to us, by email, phone or Facebook, we will always be listening.

For now, I can only apologize, and assure you that I will keep you informed and that we will do our best to correct this mistake.

As I told you, we work in a transparent way, you are and will therefore of course be free to transmit this information and that to come to your community.

LEGO Nexo Knights 30371 Knight's Cycle

First polybag of the future LEGO Nexo Knights range, the reference 30371 Knight's Cycle with a mini-vehicle and a Royal Soldier armed with his spear.

If you are impatiently awaiting this new range, don't worry, you will have enough to satisfy your desires of retro-futuristic knights with sets galore (a fortnight to start), books in spades, polybags everywhere, an animated series, video games, probably a monthly magazine, etc ...

The adventures of the five gentle knights who defend Knightonia, the capital of Knighton against the infamous Jestro and his army of lava monsters will be available in all sauces, as was the case for the defunct Legends of Chima range in its time.

My youngest six-year-old son is still waiting to find out a little more before he gets carried away with this new license but I already feel him motivated by the concept of knights equipped with big armor and super shields. And in view of what he tells me, I feel that the five knights will have reinforcement with Laval and his friends to go and face the new villains. Legends of Chima is over, but not for everyone.

By the way, as confirmed to me Marine by email, the official Legends of Chima magazine will definitely stop at number 22.
