You must be telling yourself that this is Hall of Armor season. You can find it everywhere: On flickr, on MOCpages, on Brickshelf, on forums, etc ... This is undoubtedly the set 76007 Iron Man - Malibu Mansion Attack released this year which gives ideas to MOCeurs of all stripes.

It must be said that LEGO has butted on the goods by leaving us the malibu hut.

Jared Chan has reproduced his version of the Hall of Armor, Tony Stark's closet turned dressing room, with this extension that gives a little air to carefully stored armor.

It's full of details, and this evolution of the starting version of this MOC which has also become a Cuusoo project worth a look.

Take a walk on Jared Chan's flickr gallery to discover this (real) Hall of Armor.

You may remember the superb MOC "The Pillars of the Kings"that I presented to you in September 2012 on this blog.

ShaydDeGrai has not wasted his time since and he presents us with two new scaled-down creations: Minas Morgul (or Minas Ithil), the lair of Sauron's forces. and Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor.

I really like the miniature side of these two reproductions which nevertheless retain their own identity and are immediately identifiable.

Take a walk on ShaydDeGrai's flickr gallery to discover these two MOCs that deserve your full attention.

Omar Ovalle continues his momentum with this new bust representing Zuckuss, the Ghent-bred Bounty Hunter with the look of an insect on a drip, who, for the record, created his own comrade in arms, the infamous 4-LOM , from a protocol droid.

He is here accompanied by his favorite weapon: The GRS-1 Snare Rifle.

Other Bounty Hunters are to be discovered in the flickr gallery Omar Ovalle, who also promises us a surprise MOC for May 4th. And it won't be a Bounty Hunter ...

LEGO has a good reputation with its customers, that's no scoop. Its products are good, its service is good, its image is good, don't throw it away, we understand.

The RepTrak 100 ranking is a top 100 of the most prominent companies globally. Or rather in the following 15 countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Great Britain and USA.

LEGO is therefore in 10th place in this ranking which reflects the global reputation of the companies concerned. The brand finished in the top 10 for the 3rd consecutive year.

I spare you here the methodology (disputed by some) employed by the very serious "Reputation Institute"to establish this ranking built around the four criteria of esteem, general impression, trust and admiration generated by the company evaluated.

In short, all this to tell you that consumers like to play with LEGO products, drink Nespresso coffee, surf on their iPhones, go on vacation with their BMWs, eat their Kellog's cereal in the morning by checking the time on their Rolex watch beforehand. to print their vacation photos taken with their Sony digital camera on their Canon printer, etc ... I'll stop there, I guess you understand ...

LEGO has cracked a press release to announce its very good results, which you can read at this address: The LEGO Group the most reputable company in North America.

Nice scene proposed by Bayou with this MOC on Dagobah where we find Yoda, R2-D2 and Luke who has just "put" his X-Wing in the swamps of the inhospitable planet.

The scene is directly inspired by theEpisode V: The Empire Strikes Back when Luke goes looking for Yoda on the advice of Obi-Wan's ghost.

Special mention for the shots in low light which put us in the mood and which magnify the effect sought with the X-Wing half swallowed by the greenish waters made from parts Trans Green.

We can never say it enough, an MOC deserves to be correctly photographed before being subjected to popular vindictiveness. Knowing that AFOLs are not always very tender with their fellows, you might as well put the odds in your favor ...

You can admire Bayou's work from all angles in the dedicated topic to this achievement at Eurobricks.
