The December 2021 issue of the official LEGO Batman magazine is currently available on newsstands and, as announced in the previous issue, it allows you to obtain a rather common Batman minifigure equipped with two Batarangs. Not enough to rush to your favorite newsagent to spend € 6.50 there, unless you also collect the shiny bags.

More interesting, in the pages of this new number we discover the contents of the bag which will accompany the next magazine and it is about a Batmobile. It's always better than yet another generic minifigure and the vehicle seems rather successful given the compact format imposed. See you on newsstands on February 11, 2022 to get this new interpretation of Batman's racing car.

Remember, last September I told you about the poster bearing the reference 5007043 and featuring the comic cover used to promote the LEGO Marvel set 76178 Daily Bugle when it was launched. This very successful "fine art print" is now available on the VIP rewards center against 450 points.

As usual, you must redeem the amount of points requested to obtain a code to use on your next order. The code obtained will be valid for 60 days and the piece of paper in the format 168 mm x 260 mm is valued at 9 € by LEGO, just to convince you that you are making a deal by "paying" only the equivalent of 3 € in VIP points.

It's too late for me, I had the cover in question printed on an aluminum plate by Photobox a few months ago and I'm not unhappy with the result. If you feel like doing the same, the file I used is available at this address.

There is at least one copy of the official LEGO catalog for the first half of 2022 in circulation in Germany, Stonewars got hold of it and scanned the pages that reveal the new features expected for the month of March 2022.

It is therefore an opportunity to obtain some visuals of these boxes planned for the end of the first quarter of 2022 in different ranges with in particular the three LEGO Harry Potter references. 76396 Hogwarts Moment: Divination Class (297 pieces), 76397 Hogwarts Moment: Defense Class (257 pieces) and 76398 Hospital Wing (510 pieces), two new products from the CITY range with references 60348 Moon Rover (275 pieces) and 60349 Moon Space Station (500 pieces) and some LEGO Technic references: 42133 Telescopic Loader (143 pieces), 42139 Off-Road Vehicle (764 pieces) and 42140 App-Controlled Vehicle (772 rooms).

For the rest, there will be Creator, Ninjago, DOTS, Friends or even a new reference in the Classic range and LEGO promises us products derived from the films. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness et Thor: Love and Thunder, as well as some new additions to the LEGO Jurassic World range for April 2022.

The public prices indicated on these pages are those foreseen for Germany, expect some variations for the French market.

Polybags are products that are always loved by fans and children, especially when they are licensed and even more so if they contain something new or exclusive. Offered on the official online store for a promotional offer or offered for sale by a brand specializing in toys, these bags often delight the most complete collectors and children who are trying to optimize the use of their pocket money.

2022 will once again be a busy year in diverse and varied bags with many references, some of which are now known through LEGO and some specialist retailers. As for the usual licenses, we will note a Batmobile, inspired by that of the film The Batman scheduled for theatrical release in March 2022, which will also be available on a more consistent scale in the set 76181 Batmobile: The Penguin Chase from January 1st, an AT-ST in "Battle of Hoth" version which echoes the set 75322 Hoth AT-ST expected on the shelves from January 1, 2022, a Monkie Kid polybag with two skeletons, two Ninjago bags, one of which is even a 2-in-1 product with the possibility of assembling an alternative model in addition to the one planned, a polybag under Minecraft license with Alex accompanied by a turtle and the usual Creator, City, Friends DOTS or even DUPLO references which will always be good to take in exchange for a few euros or a reasonable minimum purchase.
