Those who are used to the various sites created by LEGO to support its ranges already know this: LEGO has added numerous visuals of the latest novelties to the mini-site dedicated to the Lord of the Rings range.

You will find beautiful images extolling the endless possibilities offered by the sets that have just been released: 79005 The Wizard Battle, 79006 The Council of Elrond, 79007 Battle at the Black Gate and 79008 Pirate Ship Ambush.

More seriously, LEGO has its subject matter when it comes to showcasing its products and these visuals are worth a look. Click on the image above to go directly to the image gallery.

Got five minutes to spare? Here is what to occupy you while waiting for a drop in price on the new LEGO Star Wars products of the second wave 2013 ...

After these few interludes on various and varied subjects, return to Star Wars with the latest bust of Omar Ovalle: Darth Maul, here accompanied by some Probe Droids particularly successful.

Concerning Maul, I am more reserved about the shape of the jaw. Even though it accentuates the aggressive side of the character, I find it too prominent. But it's a matter of taste, and tastes and colors cannot be discussed, everyone will appreciate this detail in their own way.

You will find another view of this MOC as well as a bust of Asajj Ventress on Omar's flickr gallery.

Small personal note, I come back from Taiwan and I am in Hong Kong for the weekend, with stifling heat, hellish jet lag, permanent race to go from one appointment to another, etc ... don't mind being a little less responsive than usual.

Moreover, copies of LEGO sets abound here on night markets (Night markets populated by small sellers of all kinds of trinkets, including a lot of counterfeits). I bring back some Ninja Turtles of good quality bought for a handful of Hong Kong dollars and I will offer you some pictures at the beginning of next week for purely educational purposes, if customs do not pose a problem for me ... 

I know what you are saying to yourself: You are wondering why I am giving you the plank stickers from set 10237 The Tower of Orthanc illustrated on this post.

I chose this image for several reasons: First of all because there are indeed many stickers in this box and I still find it scandalous that LEGO is selling us stickers in boxes at 200 €.

It's easy to guess that many buyers of this set will never stick their stickers, preferring to protect them from light, dust, etc ... And no one comes to talk to me about production costs, LEGO makes enough margin to be able to afford to offer fans a set where each motif would be carefully screen printed. I'm rambling, I know. But it feels good...

For the rest, no revolutionary info: The visuals of this set are known, the minifigs too. We also learn that there are actually very few mobile functions dedicated to gameplay and that the assembly of the tower is not as monotonous as one might think.

You can see many other photos and read what the author of the review thinks on the Imperium der Steine ​​forum at this address (Link integrating the Google translation in French).

It's always better than nothing: Here are some images from the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes game made available by Warner and TT Games.

We discover the outfit of fantastic 4 with Human torch (before ignition) and mr fantastic in full elongation. We also find the armor in MKI version of Tony Stark alias Iron Man as well as a visual of the Destroyer controlled by Loki LEGO version.
