This is unexpected, but the sets of the Super Heroes DC Universe 2012 range are referenced on the Lego shop French and advertised as available.

The prices are the public prices and if you want to pay less for your sets, you will have to wait for availability at Amazon or at other merchants:

6857 The Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape 52.99€
6858 Catwoman Catcycle City Chase 14.99€
6860 The Batcave  89.99€
6862 Superman vs. Power Armor Lex 27.99€ 
6863 Batwing Battle Over Gotham City 39.99€
6864 Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase 59.99€

I wonder sometimes.

Since the launch of this range at LEGO, I got caught up in the game: 16 characters, varied, equipped, colored, in their opaque bags, it's tempting.

I had overlooked the first two series, with a little contempt I must admit for these characters, neither heroes, nor known, nor licensed. And then with the arrival of series 3 (8803), I changed my mind.
I don't know why anymore, maybe because of the elf or the color of the bag. Series 4 (8804) did not disappoint me with its hazmat guy. series 5 (8805) neither with his Gladiator and his Evil Dwarf.

So I caught up my delay by getting the first two series released in 2010 (8683 & 8684) and since I am addicted. Addicted to these bags each containing a character with his accessories, his story, his possibilities. My only concern, to be honest, is to keep up with the pace. We are already in the 6th series and we already know that there will be at least 2 more. And I know that I will continue to buy these characters ...

I have just pre-ordered my box of 60 sachets of the 6 series (8827). And I'm already looking forward to receiving her especially for Lady Liberty and  Roman Soldier, and buy the series 7 (8831), and the 8 series ... Often I tell myself that the space and the budget that I allocate to this range would be worth being allocated to something else. But no, the collectible is a disease that pushes you to complete series, ranges, families ... so I surrender and I continue.

If you haven't bought at least one of these minifigs, you can't figure it out ...

Who has never railed against the LEGO instructions on which it is often difficult to distinguish the Black du Dark Grey ? On the small sets, we can still get by with a little sorting and deduction, but on the bigger ones, how many of us have reversed two parts only to realize it much later and have to take everything apart? to restore it ...

After a long test phase with the little ones, LEGO has finally responded to the many complaints of its customers on this subject by finding a solution that seems satisfactory: the black parts will now be darker and surrounded by a pale gray border on the instruction booklets.

This new signage was offered for the first time with the set 2506 Ninjago Skull Truck before being officially set up with the set 4184 Black Pearl (above). It will be present across the entire LEGO range from January 1, 2012.

A good initiative that will save us a few precious minutes in the assembly of our sets and which solves a problem that has become really annoying on the most complex sets. Below is a page of the set instruction booklet 7915 Imperial V-Wing Starfighter with the old signage.

We continue with Omar ovalle who offers a mini-series of impulse sets with a minifigure, his weapon, and a piece of land to stage it.

We thus find a Snowtrooper, a Stormtrooper and a Scouttrooper, each in their environment and all equipped with a rocket launcher.  

Joli the packaging and an interesting format to build armies of minifigs, Omar Ovalle finally offers something here that could very well be marketed with real marketing logic ...

I say that 6.90 €, it can even sell ...

The Internet will always amaze me ...

The video below is from a certain tehrulate who films his army of clones and who claims to have more than 1800, more than the record of Legoboy12345678 whose army has 1712.

You did not understand the sentence above. It's normal. I'm finding out that we are fighting on Youtube to get the title of the one with the biggest army of clones and I don't really know what to think about it.

The worst part is that the two fanatics harangue each other via the comments of their respective videos and each has its fans and supporters. And if you look a little further, dozens of similar videos are posted on Youtube.

A little surprising, pathetic, but so many clones, it's still very cool actually ....
