Good news for fans who were desperate to get the new Battery Box Powered Up so far only supplied as part of the LEGO Technic set 42113 Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, a box whose marketing has in principle never taken place but which is negotiated on the secondary market at indecent prices: This new battery box which allows two motors to be controlled via the integrated selectors will be available for sale at the 'unit. 6 AA batteries will be required.

The Polish brand Bonito Reference this product at the public price of 159.99 zlotys, or around 36 €. This Battery Box is currently not listed on the official online store which only offers the Hub Powered Up 88012 with its 4 ports and Bluetooth connectivity at the retail price of € 79.99.

We continue the Advent calendar 2020 with Hoth Bricks sauce with a nice set of two complementary boxes: the LEGO Marvel sets 76125 Iron Man Hall of Armor (69.99 €) & 76167 Iron Man Armory (29.99 €) which combine to get a luxury playset with a big handful of armor, Tony Stark's hot rod and a few off-topic villains who take the mega-lab by storm.

To validate your participation, all you have to do is identify yourself via the interface below and follow the instructions provided. As usual, it is a question of finding information on the official online store and then correctly answering the question asked. At the end of the participation phase, the winner will be chosen by drawing lots from among the correct answers.

Your contact details (name / nickname, email address, IP) are only used within the framework of this competition and will not be kept beyond the drawing of lots which will designate the winner. As usual, this no-obligation competition is open to all residents of mainland France, DOM & TOM, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland.

A big thank you to LEGO and to all the employees of the manufacturer who played the game by defending my cause once again with the decision makers to allow me to offer the series of pretty sets brought into play at the end of the year. The prize will be sent to the winner by me and by Colissimo, followed with insurance and signature on delivery (and suitable packaging) as soon as their contact details are confirmed by return email.

As always, I reserve the right to disqualify any participant who has attempted to defraud or hijack the entry system in order to increase their chances of winning. Hateful and bad losers to abstain, the others will have more chances to win.

Good luck to everyone !

If you are considering purchasing the 21st series of collectible LEGO minifigs (ref. 71029), it may be better to invest directly in a box of 36 sachets rather than hoping to be able to taste the sachet in your favorite store in the weeks to come.

We do not yet know the exact distribution of these boxes which could in the best case contain 3 complete sets of 12 characters, but Minifigure Madness offers the box at 118.99 € or about 3.30 € per bag instead of 3.99 €. Shipping best announced for January 25, 2021. You can always pre-order and change your mind if the distribution is confirmed and it does not allow sharing of the contents of the box between three people.

I remind you of the list of 12 characters, the titles are those used by LEGO:
