Superman & Shazam vs Bizarro

You probably already know, LEGO has just launched his official channel on YouTube which replaces the old LEGOClubTV channel. For the occasion, here is a very well realized brickfilm which features Superman associated with Shazam who both fight against Bizarro in a City setting where you will undoubtedly recognize the sets used to reconstitute Metropolis.

For those who do not yet know, I think there should not be very many, however, the minifigs of Shazam and Bizarro are those distributed during the Comic Con de Sans Diego in July 2012.

10227 UCS B-Wing Review by Cavegod

I hadn't seen that one coming ... Brickset tells us that Cavegod, MOCeur known to most AFOLs who frequent English forums, has "successful"to dig up a set 10227 UCS B-Wing yet announced for October 2012 (at the official price of 209.99 €) and that he therefore proposes the review ultra-exclusive-well-in-advance in the pdf document that you can download at this address.

If you don't want to read everything, I will sum it up in a few words: This set is excellent despite its few flaws but it is a little too expensive for the taste of the author of the review. Consensual opinion if any ...

For the rest, you will understand that LEGO marketing has done its job well by ensuring a review carried out by an experienced MOCeur, specialist in UCS type constructions.

mahjqa motorized Tumbler inventory

You loved it mahjqa video footage featuring motorized Tumbler sound ? You will (soon) be able to reproduce this machine which gives pride of place to LEGO Technic parts and PFS modules with the instructions that the MOCeur promises on his flickr page.

As a teasing, he publishes to make us wait a photo of the complete inventory of the machine, and announces that he should quickly make the assembly instructions available.

The bravest can now start to collect the necessary parts for this MOC using the visual above. The others, (like me) whose Technic inventory boils down to a few pieces lying around in a corner, will wait for a list of references to try the adventure on Bricklink ...

Edit: As Val0194 says in the comments, you can find the .lxf files of the Tumbler in camouflage version and of the Bat on the man's website (vayamenda.com) or directly on Rebrickable.

Batpod - _Tiler

The circle is complete. _Tile offers its version of the Batpod which also uses the two front wheels of its mini tumbler and which may leave some perplexed.

The use of two droid heads from the Star Wars range, repainted for the occasion, will seem great to some of you while others will remain skeptical about this choice.

Tiler confesses in the comments not to be a big fan of the machine, but he still made the effort to offer his interpretation, very successful after all.

For the rest, it's up to you to judge: Do these two droid heads really have their place on this machine and do they fulfill the mission entrusted to them, or does this choice seem inappropriate to you?

As the other would say:  "Roger Roger..."
