Nice wink from SPARKART! to the minifigure that has excited me the most in recent months: Queen Amidala.
As his super heroes in the sauce cars, SPARKART! here succeeds the improbable fusion of two universes which do not necessarily have affinities (Although .. With Disney at the helm, you never know ...)

It's bound to be a bit rude, even grotesque, but it's hilarious and got me started the day on the right foot ....
The SPARKART flickr gallery! is located at this address.

It's calm right now on the superhero front. I take this opportunity to offer you the latest creations from SPARKART! who successfully mixed two universes: Superheroes and Cars.

The result is hilarious and the windshields of Lightning McQueen and his cronies fit perfectly on these figurines that remind me Legohaulic work as part of the Creations for Charity operation. 

To see these creations in large format, go to the SPARKART flickr gallery!.

Views on ebay at a seller who definitely has all the novelties for 2013, these other photos of the Pong Krell minifigure which is already offered for sale and for which the auction is underway.

It is therefore the confirmation that it is indeed the official minifigure and not of any custom.

Note that the head seems to be integral with the upper part which is plugged into the torso of the minifig.

Since yesterday, it is the "Grand Opening"from the LEGO Store in the SO OUEST shopping center in Levallois with its plethora of gifts reserved for the most spending customers.

Well, I'm probably doing a little too much in view of the first feedback which evokes a mess, especially concerning the availability of the promised t-shirts ... (see Bick's comment on this post).

If you tried to get one of the promised gifts while braving the sweltering heat in the store, feel free to comment on this post with your feedback.

As a reminder, the announced gifts:

- Wednesday November 14, 2012 : Grand Opening of the LEGO Store - A free LEGO Store T-shirt for the first 300 customers who spend € 30 or more.

- Thursday November 15, 2012 : Grand Opening of the LEGO Store - A limited edition LEGO T-shirt offered to the first 300 customers who spend € 30 or more.

- Friday November 16, 2012 : Grand Opening of the LEGO Store - A set of LEGO Brand Store 3300003-1 offered to the first 300 customers who will spend € 30 or more.

- The Saturday November 17, 2012 : Grand Opening of the LEGO Store - A set of 3 minifigs (exclusive?) Offered to the first 300 customers who will spend € 30 or more.

Here is finally the long awaited minifig of Pong Krell, which will be delivered in the set LEGO Star Wars 75004 Z-95 Headhunter. 

It's a good surprise: The result is quite convincing despite the fears one might have had about LEGO's interpretation of this character with unusual anatomy.

Below, a photo of a few Clones and other Troopers from the 2013 range including the 501st Clone Pilot from set 75004 (3rd from the left).
