x wing lego star wars magazine Do you remember the announced LEGO Star Wars magazine? early January by Panini Comics with which the publisher promised us an "exclusive" LEGO gift for each new issue.

The present in the first issue of this new magazine intended for the youngest will therefore be an X-Wing.

Not a UCS (obviously), not an X-Wing in format System (It makes sense), not a mini X-Wing (And why not?), It will be a microphone 23-piece X-Wing.

Without looking very far, we find the trace of a 23-piece X-Wing in the LEGO catalog: The one from the 2011 Advent calendar which was also the subject of a promotional offer at Toys R Us in spring 2014 .

And it is indeed a 23-piece micro vessel (downloadable assembly instructions at this address).

Nothing very exciting then, unless Panini gives us a collector's packaging (We can be reassured as we can ...) which will force complete collectors to get this microphone X Wing.

If Panini Comics has decided to recycle microphone-machins for future issues of this magazine, one should logically be able to obtain in the future a Ghost microphone, why not a Mini Jek-14 Starfighter or a Holocron Droid... Unless at Panini, they decided to bring us the microphone-machins from the LEGO Star Wars Advent calendars in the form of "exclusive" gifts ...

Here is something to please fans of the LEGO Star Wars range, young and old: Panini Comics officially announces the launch in July 2015 of a magazine focused on the LEGO Star Wars license, each issue of which will be accompanied by a free LEGO product. .

This magazine will obviously target a young audience, but after all, I'm not that old ...

It is with immense joy and undisguised pride that we inform you that The Walt Disney Company, parent company of MARVEL and LUCAS FILMS, has decided to entrust Panini with the exploitation of its new STAR WARS comics in France.

Published by MARVEL in the United States and directed by some of the most prominent authors of the moment (Jason Aaron, John Cassaday, Kieron Gillen, Salvador Larroca, Mark Waid, Terry Dodson ...), the new STAR WARS comics will appear in France under the PANINI COMICS label from 2015.

Pre-sold to over a million copies in the United States, Star Wars # 1 will be available in the press section in May. The first Star Wars books stamped PANINI COMICS will appear in the second half of the year.

On the Youth side, STAR WARS REBELS magazine will give pride of place to comics adapted from the animated series of the same name. With more than 50 copies, the first issue will appear on newsstands in April at the exceptional price of € 000. Each publication of this new monthly PANINI KIDS intended for 3,95-9 year olds will be accompanied by a gift.

In addition to these publications, PANINI will launch in April the French adaptation of the famous STAR WARS INSIDER magazine published by Titans editions, as well as the STAR WARS LEGO® magazine from July 2015.

LEGO Avengers Age of Ultron

It is really very quiet during this holiday period and the end of the year celebrations. To pass the time, you can always take a look at some of the minifigs in the LEGO Avengers: Age of Ultron range via the January LEGO Club Magazine US.

Black Widow changes her hairstyle, Hawkeye dyes her hair, Hulk is less flashy, etc ...

You can download the page above as well as the mini-comic which is published in the magazine in PDF format at this address or by clicking on the image above.

Note that the code "THOR" which should in principle allow you to unlock the rest of the comic online is not yet active on the LEGO Club website.

millennium falcon is back not

Does Uncle Scrooge have very knowledgeable informants themselves? If so, who are these people announcing the return of the Millennium Falcon for 2015? Or are they quite simply rumors noted on a forum on which desires are transformed into probability and then into reality according to the translations and copy paste ?

It is certainly anecdotal, but the readers of Scrooge Magazine who will take this information at face value are probably already hoping for the imminent arrival of a new version of the Millennium Falcon which will replace that of the set 10179 which is being traded at indecent prices in the LEGO catalog ....

Unless...
