History of killing time, here is a very nice Cuusoo project : Radagast's house, thehe slightly crazy mage seen in the first two episodes of The Hobbit trilogy who travels with a sled pulled by Duracell rabbits ...

This MOC is actually one of the sets from the Brotherhood Workshop video, "Middle Earth Motors"produced on behalf of LEGO and put online at the beginning of the year. Many fans have told Brian Ulrich and his team of their desire to see this MOC become an official LEGO set and the house therefore logically ended up on the Cuusoo platform.

If you want to support this project, it's at this address, it's free, it takes two minutes and it doesn't commit you to anything.

An Auchan offer relayed by M in the comments Who will be able to help out those who do not yet have the LEGO Lord of the Rings video game with a choice on PS3, PS Vita or XBOX 360, the set of two LEGO video games (Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit) for the modest sum from 50 € (40 € for the PS Vita version).

This offer does not apply to the PS4 and XBOX One versions, and there are no bonuses (exclusive minifig or DLC offered) included as part of this rather interesting offer.

Warning, the Auchan catalog indicates that this offer is not available in some stores of the brand, consult it to verify before going to your favorite store ...

We're making do with what we have right now, so here's a new visual around the video game and the LEGO The Hobbit range.

Nothing new on this image (available in high resolution (2000x3040) on my flickr gallery), but by dint of seeing Smaug everywhere, I hope that LEGO will offer us in the set 79018 a minifigure large enough so that the dragon is consistent with the one seen in the film Desolation of Smaug.

Last I checked, the figure seen at the last London Toy Fair looked very similar to the dragon from the Castle set 70403 Dragon Mountain.

I don't have precise information about the poster above, maybe it will soon be available in paper version during a special operation on the LEGO Shop ...

Since except last minute announcement or surprise revelation of a few boxes, it smells like a tree for the LEGO Lord of the Rings range, here's something to occupy us a little: The launch trailer for the LEGO The Hobbit video game is online.

I think I'll try a few levels even if I'm saturating a bit with LEGO video games right now. Between LEGO Marvel Super Heroes and The LEGO Movie game, I've already spent too much time on these coin hunt based games in recent months.

If, like me, you pre-ordered the game as a "special edition" at amazon, that is to say accompanied by the exclusive Bilbo minifigure, the delivery date is now set for April 14/15, 2014.

Micromania announces for its part an availability of the game for next April 11, with the DLC as a gift "The Battle Pack".

Another a priori nice offer around the LEGO The Hobbit game, the release of which is announced by the merchant for May 11 with this pack including: The LEGO The Hobbit video game in PC version, the set 79011 Dol Guldur Ambush (Retail price 29.99 €) and the Legolas minifigure, all for the modest sum of € 42.99.

If this offer interests you, you can directly access the pack sheet here.
