Today we are talking about Breeks, the mook (contraction of Shops / Book) whose number 1 has been available for a few weeks in all good bookstores in France.

After a number 0 which gave us a foretaste of what this medium would be, here is the first "real" number of this magazine Geek which over its 128 pages gives pride of place to the Star Wars universe, news oblige. The finish is exemplary: Beautiful cardboard cover, original interior trim, airy and readable content, quality illustrations ...

However, I have always been very skeptical of marketing discourse which claims a little too proudly that such and such content "Geek" is destined "to the whole family". For once it's true: I was surprised to see that my 12-year-old son, a lover of video games, manga, superhero movies and TV series, found an interest in flipping through this big paved.

First attracted by the illustrations of the various articles, he quickly got caught up in the game and read a few sections, before coming to discuss with me what he was able to learn over the pages. From this point of view, the contract is fulfilled and Breeks keeps all of his promises.

Same behavior from my wife, who after looking suspiciously at the cover of issue 1, finally agreed to take a look. A few articles finally found favor with his eyes and were the starting point for some interesting discussions.

For anyone wondering: Yes, there's a lot of talk about LEGO in this first issue. I obviously have no problem with that, quite the contrary. LEGO products are one of the current markers of this catch-all cultural set that we put in the basket "GeekYou only have to look at the current offer of the manufacturer of Billund and take a look at what sites the internet has of sites that are surfing the current trends to realize this.

So, should you spend € 15.90 to afford this mook with a high-end finish and rich and varied content? The answer is in the question. It is also one of the few media currently available in France, and perhaps even the only one, which highlights our favorite products. English-speaking countries already have their magazines dedicated to LEGO products (Blocks, Bricks, Brickjournal) and I chose to support Breeks because I think it's also our only chance to have French-speaking support that includes editorial content related to the passion for LEGO.

Note for all those who will be present in Bordeaux next weekend: Muttpop, which publishes Breeks in partnership with Bragelonne editions, will be present at the event Brick Fans 2015. Do not hesitate to take the opportunity to leaf through this number 1 on the publisher's stand.

If you have trouble finding Breeks in bookstores, you can buy No. 1 online directly. on the Muttpop website.

Notice to all those who still buy the official LEGO Star Wars magazine, here is the gift that will be offered with N ° 5 which will be available in early November: A weapons rack with two blasters and two lightsabers.

Regular residents of the LEGO Star Wars Advent calendars, weapon racks are well known to fans. This one seems "new" in its construction and it is therefore "exclusive" to this magazine.

I remind you that N ° 4 of this magazine will be delivered with a Star Destroyer and a Tie Fighter.

May all those who have embarked on the regular purchase of the "official" LEGO Star Wars magazine published by Panini rest assured: The "gift" provided with number 3 (which will be on newsstands on September 30) will be quickly forgotten with the exit number 4.

After this "Imperial marksman"Out of nowhere, Panini comes to his senses and will make the effort to offer us a Star Destroyer accompanied by a Tie Fighter in the next issue of this magazine aimed at the youngest.

The Tie Fighter was provided in the Star Wars 2011 Advent Calendar (7958) and the Star Destroyer comes straight from the Star Wars 2012 Advent Calendar (9509).

Inside the magazine, the content does not change: two comics, two posters, some games and advertisements for LEGO products.

Again, nothing revolutionary, but these ships are at least actually from the Star Wars saga. It's always taken.

The party is over. Take advantage of the X-Wing microphone (offered with n ° 1) and the Slave I microphone (offered with n ° 2) present in the new LEGO Star Wars magazine because the next "exclusive" gift is something that even LEGO n did not dare to put in his Advent calendars ...

According to the above visual, which comes from the Spanish version of this magazine aimed at young people, it will therefore be a "imperial turret" or Imperial shooter, As announced a few weeks ago.

We will say, to be polite, that this "exclusive" gift gives pride of place to playability with two Studs shooters which will allow readers to project pieces all over the living room ...

For the rest, as in each issue, we will find two LEGO Star Wars comics and two posters.

While we will have to wait at least the 16 next July to get the first copy of the new LEGO Star Wars magazine in France, the subscription offer offered in Germany unveils the next mini-gifts that will be offered with upcoming issues.

It is therefore a Slave I and a "Imperial shooter", probably some canon which however benefits from the mention" exclusive "on the cover of the magazine in question ...
