The big news today comes from the very annoying but still knowledgeable guy at Brickshow, you know, this guy who speaks so slowly in the tone of a CNN presenter that his videos are 20 minutes long while the content takes 30 seconds. .

LEGO has confirmed that we will be entitled to sets inspired by the movie Iron Man 3 slated for spring 2013 and produced by Marvel / Disney. Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle will return to service to face new villains: Iron Patriot, Aldrich Killian, creator of the Extremis virus, and The Mandarin.

So many potential minifigs to check out next summer, and I have to say I'm pretty excited about this announcement. Hoping that LEGO will offer us all the characters from the film, Iron Patriot in mind ....

We promise, this is the last trailer that I am posting here for the LEGO Batman 2 game which officially comes out on June 22.

But Launch Trailer is simply excellent. Some scenes have already been seen and reviewed in previous trailers, but I find the staging and the voices so successful that I never tire of them.

Loose, a Joker-looking mech that I hope to see one day as a set, a reference to the Justice League (Justice League) which promises, a lot of humor and superb scenery.

Like the rest at LEGO, video games are evolving, are more detailed, better finished, and even if the gameplay will probably not have a big surprise in store for us, I am looking forward to spending a few hours on this game with my son. To him the cartoon and zany side, to me the more adult references to the world of these super heroes ...

We talk about this set again and again 10227 B-Wing Starfighter (UCS) that nobody has seen and that does not know much except that it should consist of around 1500 pieces with a price of around 180 €.

It looks like the official announcement is fast approaching, with an event announced during the protest Brick Fiesta which will take place in Houston, Texas (USA) from July 4-8, 2012.

The site of the event indicates in full in the section Special Events:

Special News from LEGO
LEGO will be revealed an exclusive set during the general assembly Friday afternoon (July 6th). This is a must-see! Only folks with convention and family memberships will be allowed to attend.

Which in short means that LEGO will reveal an exclusive set on Friday July 6th. And it's a safe bet that this is the set 10227 B-Wing Starfighter (UCS) whose marketing should then take place at the start of the 2012 school year ...
