The English are now accustomed: Periodically the tabloid The Sun offers an offer to exchange a coupon to cut from the newspaper for several LEGO sets in polybags (sets in bags) in the WH Smiths and Toys R Us stores.

This Saturday, December 3, 2011, the readers of the newspaper will be able to be offered the set 30055 Droid Fighter (45 pieces) sold from 3.37 € on Bricklink.

Wait until Sunday or Monday and its price will surely have fallen further with English sellers ...

The MOC of the day is exceptional, I have no other word.

erth & fiya signs here a very high level achievement, intended to compete on FBTB as part of Wheels of Justice. The result is breathtaking creativity and finish. We never tire of looking at the superb photos presented on the dedicated flickr gallery which allow you to discover this incredible machine from every angle.

Take a few minutes of your time, you won't regret it, this MOC is really one of the ones that has impressed me the most lately. And remember that photos do half the job when it comes to presenting an MOC ....

You should know, and it's always good for our personal culture, that between 1962 and 1988 it was Samsonite who manufactured the bricks under license and distributed the LEGO brand in Canada and the USA. Manufacturing stopped in the United States in 1973, when LEGO moved to the United States. TLC then moved to Canada in 1988 when the first brick separator was released, but that's another story.

From this time, rillette11 posted on his flickr gallery photos of original boxes or scans of catalogs. Something to impress, and if you understand English, linger on the comments of each photo, you will learn many things about this LEGO by Samsonite era. You will find other visuals on the same theme at this address.

Be careful, we quickly spend a few hours without realizing it. There is so much to see on this very well documented site.

And yes ! Another Batmobile in the running for the Wheels of Justice competition .... This one is amazing with its double cockpit that can accommodate two minifigs, its many built-in weapons and the use of batarangs as tuning accessories in different places . We will retain the spinners particularly successful rims .....

I like the Buggy side of this MOC, an improbable cross between the Tumbler and a Warthog, with a serious and well thought out finish.

To see more and also discover BrickJunky's Green Lantern Mobile, visit his flickr gallery.

SHARPSPEED aka Adam Janusick offers us an interesting Batmobile with an aspect that immediately reminds me of the range Racers. The cockpit opens and a minifigure can barely slip inside.

Simple and efficient, this Batmobile does not do a lot, it simply displays compact shapes and a sleek line. It's not the MOC of the year, but I like this take on Batman's vehicle. 

To see it from other angles, go to the flickr gallery of SHARPSPEED, you will also discover the BatCycle situation I was telling you about in this article in the streets of Gotham City with in guest stars the Joker and Harley Quinn.
