Here we go, LEGO is delivering its first sets of magnets glued to their base, as confirmed by TLG in recent weeks.

TheBrickBlogger has tried different techniques to try to detach minifigs from their base, with varying degrees of success.

None of the solutions considered seems really satisfactory, the minifigs being often damaged by the operation.

In short, if you also want to fight against this change in TLG policy, probably linked to pressure from the holders of the various licenses currently being marketed, you can read the report of these experiences. at this address and get your own idea of ​​the interest of continuing to buy these magnets which are definitely becoming fridge decorations, and nothing more .....

For those who have not yet purchased the latest Star Wars themed BrickMaster, with its 240 pieces, 2 minifigs and 8 buildable models, here are some interesting photos on the hmillington flickr gallery (Brickets).

The models are pretty well designed, and the book is well illustrated.

The minifigs provided are basic, but bring immediate playability to the set.

If you are still in doubt, get hold of this book-set quickly while there is still time.

There are some who admire their sets, others take matters into their own hands and embark on rather ambitious projects.

This EuroBricks forumer chose to create a UCS MOC of a model rarely seen on this scale, the SandCrawler.

LEGO already produced its version of this vehicle in 2005 with the set 10144, popular with collectors.

The bar is even higher this time in terms of details and reproduction.

The project is in progress, and the result promises to be quite exceptional.
To be continued on this EuroBricks forum topic.

Seen on EuroBricks, a first detailed review of a nice set: 20019 (Mini) Slave I.

The colors are homogeneous and faithful, the design is excellent for a mini set, and the result is what you would expect from a Brickmaster set in 2011.

To read this review in detail and enjoy the many pictures, it's on EuroBricks here.

 

 

 

 

 

The rumor swells and it seems to be confirmed in view of the clues that appear here and there on the Internet.

2011 will see a Star Wars themed advent calendar.

Evidenced by this reference 7958 appeared on an online sales site whose sheet announces availability for October 2011. However, little information is provided on the sheet.
