LEGO Cuusoo - Minas Tirith

It took more than 4 months to this Cuusoo project from Nuju Metru to reach the 1000 supporters and obtain a (laconic) comment from the LEGO team:

"... Behold, the White City in all its glory! You don't have to be Boromir to appreciate the beauty of this model and its modular design. Lord of the Rings fans of all ages can enjoy assembling and reenacting the largest battle of the third age. Nicely done! ..."

In essence, the model is cool, modular, allows fans to replicate the location and the battle that goes with it, well done!

It's short, we do not get at this stage a constructive opinion on the feasibility of the project, but we will probably have to wait a few more months and the threshold of 5000 supporters to obtain something other than a short statement, certainly enthusiastic but not really detailed.

If you want to see this project to go a little further, do not deprive yourself of making your contribution (no pun intended ...) by voting. Every voice counts.

LEGO Star Wars 10221 Super Star Destroyer

As our friend from Carglass would say, who offers you glasses or windshield wipers, a great deal that cannot be refused.
Amazon offers (again) the set 10221 Super Star Destroyer less than 300 € (LEGO public price 399.99 €).

This large box of 3152 pieces allows the reproduction of one of the most emblematic ships of the Star Wars saga. As a bonus, 5 minifigs: Darth Vader, Admiral Piett, Dengar, Bossk and IG-88.

To be reserved for collectors who have room in their living room because the thing is 124.5 cm long and weighs about 3.5 kg.

The stock drops visibly at amazon, if you have the budget and the space required, you can order here or on the image above. At this price, it's a bargain ...

Edit (Thanks to Gressmon in the comments): The set is also available in stock and in limited quantity at € 299.99 at Cdiscount, click here.

Briqu'Expo Diemoz 2013

Briqu'Expo Diemoz 2013, this is the back-to-school event for LEGO fans!

The exhibition will take place on September 14 and 15 in Diemoz (20 km east of Lyon) and many talented exhibitors have already confirmed their presence to take you on a journey into the world of super heroes! The weekend promises to be unforgettable for all LEGO fans, young and old.

On this occasion, a competition open (really) to all will allow you to come and present your creations and try to win a LEGO Super Heroes box offered by Brick Heroes. Read the rules and the theme of the competition carefully!

The exhibition is jointly organized by FreeLUG, BaB and the association Le sou des écoles.

To find out all about the exhibition, visit the facebook page of the event.

What do super heroes do when they're not saving the world?

It's up to you to imagine it ...

Briqu'Expo Diemoz and Brick Heroes are joining forces to offer you a competition open to all and which will allow you to win one of the many prizes at stake.

Participants are divided into 3 categories to allow everyone to participate and have a chance to win a prize:

- Children under 6 years old
- Children from 6 to 12 years old
- Children and adults over 12 years old

To win :

For children under 6:
Category winner: 1 x Set LEGO Iron Man 3 76006 Iron Man Extremis Sea Port Battle
Second in category: 1 x Set LEGO Iron Man 3 76008 Iron Man vs The Mandarin Ultimate Showdown

For children from 6 to 12 years old:

The rule :

It's simple: Create a cute superhero-themed MOC exclusively from LEGO parts that answers the following question: What do super heroes do when they're not saving the world?

A scene, big or small, a visit to the ice cream parlor or the dentist, a super hero on vacation, shopping, sunbathing, let your imagination run wild and get out your stock of parts ...

No limits or constraints, anything is possible. On the other hand, no official set vaguely modified. You must create, not copy.

If you don't have a superhero minifig, create one with your other minifigs.

Bring your creation on Sunday September 15 before 11 a.m. at the venue. A jury will deliberate and designate the winners of the competition. Please note that your creation must be present on site before 11 a.m. to be able to participate.
