LEGO Super Heroes - Marvel Avengers - Hawkeye, Hulk, Iron Man, Black Widow, Thor, Captain America & Nick Fury

It is MTV (one wonders why anyway ...) which reveals this poster featuring the official poster of the Avengers movie but featuring the minifigs from the LEGO Super Heroes Marvel range. Artistically, it holds together, it's even rather successful. 

But the interest is elsewhere: It hides behind Black Widow: Nick Fury's minifigure makes its first appearance and seen from a distance, it looks successful. Finally, let's say that Samuel Jackson is successful. His submachine gun also besides ... On the other hand, we still do not know in which set this minifigure will be offered ...

For comparison, I refer you to Nick Fury's custom minifigure produced by Christo.

Imperial Sandcrawler by Nathan Tran

You will say that I insist, but in view of the quite relative enthusiasm aroused by the gray truck below, I hesitated to present this Imperial SandCrawler as its creator Nathan Tran calls it ... Don't look for this thing in the extended, or super-extended, or hyper-extended universe, it isn't. This machine is an extrapolation of what the SandCrawler could have given in an imperial version ...

Anyway, I find it rather nice this machine, with its forward cockpit, its large side doors that reveal an interior space that can accommodate an army of minifigs and its tracks .... In short, it's cute as everything, it's creative and the video visible on Youtube amused me for five minutes. Anyway, we are a little bored at the moment without preliminary photos, nor final visuals of the novelties of June. So we take care as we can ....

To go and waste five minutes of your time, it's on MOCpages space from Nathan Tran that it's happening.

LEGO Batman 2 DC Super Heroes

I introduced you at the beginning of March the visuals of the LEGO Batman 2 DC Super Heroes game currently in pre-order and scheduled for June 2012. The official visual of the game has changed since this first presentation and I therefore offer you the definitive packshot or in any case the latest one.

It is significantly better than the first version and features Batman, Superman, Catwoman (sisi in the back right), Bane, Red Robin, Lex Luthor and the Joker. The whole thing is packed with a Batmobile blasting through the streets of Gotham City. We note the presence of the new DC Comics logo I was telling you about in this article.

Amazon.fr does not offer, at least not for the moment, the promotion including the exclusive Lex Luthor minifigure as do EB Games and GameStop.

Light Transport Vehicle by LUKY'S 1987

It's hard to say why I like this machine ... No doubt in large part because of its contemporary military look and its SNOT finish. Add to this the fact that it can contain a dozen Stormtroopers and a driver and here we are with an all-terrain transport of troops that would not have denied Ezechielle. A sort of Crossovers between two genres, in fact ...

To see more it's on the flickr gallery of LUKY'S 1987 aka Lukáš Šógor that it happens. If you like tanks, helicopters and fighter jets, all in LEGO is at Ezechielle that you have to surrender ...

LEGOLAND California - LEGO Star Wars SandCrawler - Erik Varszegi

We are a fan or not of the scenes offered by LEGO in its LEGOLAND parks, mainly because of the format that has become commonly called Miniland-Scale.

The Californian park is currently receiving a few new models including this sublime SandCrawler designed by Erik Varszegi. This name certainly tells you something, it is the guy who designed this Venator...

He sets the scene again with this superb SandCrawler of more than 15.000 pieces which will be on display at LEGOLAND California park. The machine is equipped with LEDs thanks to the collaboration of the types of Lifelites, a company specializing in the field of lighting via micro-LEDs. 

To discover this machine from every angle, go to the dedicated flickr gallery offered by FBTB. While you're there, don't hesitate to discover or rediscover the UCS version of SandCrawler proposed a few months ago by marshal_banana.

Moreover, if you want to see what the scenes of LEGOLAND park (in Billund) give, I had gathered photos with the agreement of CopMike on several dedicated pages accessible here:
