No minifig with the May 2017 issue of the official LEGO Star Wars magazine (# 23). We will be entitled to a new version of the Vulture Droid.

Collectors will remember the polybag 30055 Vulture Droid (45 pieces) released in 2011 which already offered us a similar version of this separatist droid. This bag is available for a few euros on Bricklink. It's up to you to see if the version that comes with the magazine is worth spending € 4.95 to add to your collection.

Remember, the January / February 2017 LEGO Club Magazine featured an "unreleased" Batmobile that is none other than the Joker's Lowrider seen in the set 70906 The Joker Notorious Lowrider in the colors of the usual vehicles of the vigilante of Gotham City.

No instructions to assemble this rather nice model, it was necessary to be satisfied with the visual above.

A Reddit user (biscaynes) has reproduced the model in question and it provides some details on the feasibility of the thing: It is enough to obtain all the purple parts (Purple) from set 70906 in black, those delivered in Lime on the Joker Lowrider in yellow and those provided in Pearl Gold en Light Bluish Gray.

For the rest, it will simply take the instruction booklets of set 70906 and reproduce the original vehicle by changing the respective colors of the elements.

Regarding the wheels, it is advisable to use those of the set 70905 The Batmobile and adapt the original binding as shown in the photos below uploaded by biscaynes.

Remember to replace the chicken with Pearl Gold by a bat (ref. 30103), and voila.

After the minifigs of Kanan Jarrus and theImperial Combat Driver offered with the January (# 19) and March 2017 (# 21) issues of the official LEGO Star Wars magazine back to minivans with the exclusive Tie Advanced above that will be offered with the April issue .

For 4.95 €, nothing to whip a cat, even if this Tie Advanced is more successful than the version accompanied by an X-Wing released in 2003 in the set 4484.

By imagining that the publisher has implemented a logic allowing us to obtain a minifig every two months, let's hope that the gift of the May issue (N ° 22) is a new character, exclusive or not.

If you like the free magazines sent by LEGO, you can register now to receive the new publication reserved for young fans aged between 5 and 9: The LEGO Life Magazine.

As the FAQ says, if your child is under 5, playing DUPLOs, and over 9, they'll have to make do with the LEGO Life app available on iOS and Android.

This new magazine is free, it is sent out five times a year and you will find there the usual contents of these publications; Comics, games, mini-interviews, advertisements for LEGO products, etc ...

To receive this magazine, the child concerned must have a LEGO ID account. that you can create at this address and you must then validate his subscription.

The number 1 of the new official magazine The LEGO Batman Movie is available and we logically discover the gift that will accompany the next issue.

It is therefore the Joker with his tailcoat and his two sticks of dynamite that will be offered next April.

With this number 1, a Batman minifigure that we have already talked about a lot (too much), since it is the version present in the sets 70901 Mr. Freeze Ice Attack, 70904 Clayface Splat Attack or even 70910 Scarecrow Special Delivery and in Polybags 30522 Batman in the Phantom Zone et 5004930 Accessory Pack,

The Joker minifigure offered with number 2 is obviously not more new than Batman, it is the version seen in the set 70900 The Joker Balloon Escape and in the polybag 30523 The Joker Battle Training.

It is therefore the bags used to package these minifigs which are "collectors" and "exclusive".

So there is nothing to be enthusiastic about for this new publication sold for € 6.50. In about forty pages, the publisher offers in passing a few comics with a slightly sloppy design, two posters, a little advertising for the sets from the The LEGO Batman Movie range and a mask to cut out.
