You can access all of these descriptions by visiting on Pricevortex : The price of each set is automatically added as soon as the box is listed at amazon and you just have to click on the price displayed to directly access the product sheet.

Note that with regard to the Star Wars range, the sheets of the sets based on the film Star Wars: The Force Awakens do not currently benefit from any detailed description. Amazon simply says "Confidential 2016"...

For Battle Packs 75133 et 75134 and sets 75136 Droid Escape Pod, 75137 Carbon Freezing Chamber et 75138 Hot Attack, amazon has not uploaded any tariffs. Click on the links above or on the dash in the price column for amazon.fr to access the details of the two sets. Ditto for microfighters Star Wars.

Some sets from the Super Heroes range (Marvel & DC Comics) including Mighty Microphones, for which the descriptions confirm the use of non-articulated mini-legs for the minifigs delivered in each set, benefit from detailed descriptions and many other ranges are affected by this update: Disney Princess, Minecraft, Technic, Elves, Friends, Juniors, City, Architecture, Speed ​​Champions, Nexo Knights, series 15 of collectible minifigs (71011), series of collectible Disney minifigs (71012) or even Ninjago.

The prices indicated by amazon.fr are high, but this is always the case when the products are referenced before they are actually marketed. The price is then adjusted by the brand.

The descriptions used by amazon are obviously in French.
