LEGO Star Wars: Chronicles of the Force

Publisher Dorling Kindersley is definitely very prolific at the moment: Here is the pitch of an upcoming book based on the LEGO Star Wars range scheduled for May 2016 and which will be accompanied by a new exclusive minifig.

Not much is known at the moment about this new 96-page book which will be, as the description indicates, in the same vein as two previously published books that did not shine by the quality of their editorial content: LEGO Star Wars: The Dark Side et LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles.

Pre-order possible at amazon at a rate of 15.78 €. Availability announced for May 3, 2016.

 Featuring the latest LEGO® Star Wars ™ sets and minifigures, LEGO Star Wars: Chronicles of the Force is a fun and informative guide to a LEGO galaxy far, far away. . . 

A must-have for fans of the live-action Star Wars saga and its LEGO incarnation alike, this is the most up-to-date companion to LEGO Star Wars, with detailed information about the latest sets and minifigures and illustrated with extensive photography.

Featuring an exclusive new LEGO Star Wars minifigure, LEGO Star Wars: Chronicles of the Force follows the same format as DK's LEGO Star Wars: The Dark Side and LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles.

For those who get lost in the long list of all these books published around LEGO products, a list of the most recent products in original version and in French is available on Pricevortex.com.

LEGO Ideas 21303 WALL-E

This LEGO Ideas set has generated a lot of ink: Many customers have complained about various problems with the little WALL-E robot in a LEGO version since its marketing.

LEGO finally reacts officially by explaining taking into account the feedback from fans who noticed a problem with the robot's head. Better late than never.

In essence, the designers of the brand are reviewing their copy in order to propose a solution to this problem of rotation a little too "fluid" to the tastes of many customers of the head of WALL-E.

The set is therefore currently unavailable on the LEGO Shop and in the LEGO Stores until further notice pending the release of a version "corrected"from the set.

If you have already purchased this box and would like to benefit from the future modifications that will be made to this model, you can contact LEGO customer service who will probably be happy to send you the essential parts to update your robot. as soon as this has been validated by the manufacturer.

 Dear LEGO® Fans,

In order to make the LEGO Ideas set 21303 WALL E as fun as the character in the movie, we created the model with the ability to turn his head all the way around.

Since the model has been launched we have received feedback from fans who feel WALLE's head moves a bit too freely.

Feedback from our fans is very important for us and we've decided to take their advice and make some improvements to the set.

Our designers are currently working on some small changes to the model.

Therefore the LEGO Ideas Set 21303 WALLE is currently not available at shop.LEGO.com and in some LEGO Stores.

Once the reworked version of the model has been finalized LEGO WALLE will make a full return. For the latest updates on availability, please visit WALL E on shop.LEGO.com.

encyclopedia lego star wars french characters

A little reminder for all those discouraged by English, the French version of the encyclopedia of LEGO Star Wars characters "updated and augmented"will be available from October 23.

I gave you my opinion on the english version of this book last May and if the selling price of this localized version does not put you off too much (21.95 € at amazon), it's a nice gift to give to a young LEGO and Star Wars fan. The photos are clean, the editorial content is interesting, and the exclusive Boba Fett minifigure will delight any fan of the Star Wars universe.
