It took more than a year for Brent Waller's Tumbler reaches 10.000 supporters on Cuusoo. It's done and this long-term project therefore integrates the review phase scheduled for June 2013 during which the LEGO team made up of designers and eminent members of the manufacturer's staff will decide whether or not to produce this magnificent MOC. and possibly to market it in the form of an official set.

I am not convinced that this project will succeed: This MOC dates from 2008, the year of the cinema release of the first opus of Christopher Nolan's trilogy, the instructions have since been provided free of charge by the MOCeur, the saga The Dark Knight will not have more recent cinematographic news by the time LEGO decides to go into production, that is to say in a year at best ... We could find dozens of other reasons why LEGO refuses to produce this Tumbler, moreover, very successful. I introduced you elsewhere  in february 2012 on this blog the camouflage version seen in the third episode of the saga.

Obviously, if some LEGO adventure decides to offer us a Tumbler worthy of the name, I will be the first to invest some money to add it to my collection. It would also help me to forget the shapeless vehicle we were treated to at the start of the year in the set. 76001 The Bat vs. Bane - Tumbler Chase...

So let's wish Brent Waller the best of luck and keep our fingers crossed ...

The surprise of the day has just arrived: These are the official images of the set 75025 Jedi Defender-Class Cruiser inspired by the world of the Star Wars: The Old Republic video game.

The whole is magnificent, I am won over. This is one more excellent playset in the LEGO Star Wars range.

In the box (927 pieces), 4 minifigs, including 3 new ones, accompany the ship: A Sith warrior, Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular and sith trooper.

For those who have followed the comments on l'article dealing with the set sticker 10240 Red Five X-Wing Starfighter, here is a tutorial proposed by Phil which reveals the technique used to obtain a visually impeccable result. I deliver it to you here as is, it's up to you to stick your sticker.

If you have any other tips, feel free to share them with everyone in the comments.

A big thank you to Phil for his synthesis work (Images and text).

Step 1 : Careful cutting of the inside of the stickers using a new blade and a ruler.

Step 2 : Degreasing the part with household alcohol to remove grease residues from demoulding.

Step 3 : We do as LEGO said, we remove the part around the pattern (We must use the pretty drawings of the instructions!)

Step 4 : The glass is covered with water + washing-up liquid and the sticker placed on it: it slides easily. The mixture neutralizes the power of the glue (its dark side in a way) ...

Step 5 : It is better to start by placing the small pattern from behind to make your hand, and then tackle the large one directly. I made the small black line above coincide with the angle of the glass. Once positioned, we remove the humidity with a hair dryer (2 or 3 minutes) and we can press with the finger to make the sticker set. Take it easy, this is the moment chosen by the pattern to move treacherously!

Step 6 : And there you have it: No air bubbles, no fingerprints, easy positioning and perfect resistance! It took me 30 minutes to apply.

To be completely honest with you, I don't even know who Reverse Flash is.

My culture in terms of superheroes stops at the most famous of them that I had the opportunity to find regularly in my favorite comics published in magazines. Strange ou Spidey.

A quick search on the internet taught me a little more about this character, but I must admit that it is above all the level of finish which is always so exceptional of the custom minifigs in pad-printing produced by Christo who attracts me to the products of this custom "artist".

This minifigure is superb, just like its red alter ego, of which I posted a homemade photo. at this address.

It is for sale on eBay and the auctions are going well ... (You can access the details of this custom minifigure on eBay by clicking on the visual above or here).
