I'll spare you the usual verse on the slightly abusive side of the prices charged on the LEGO Shop, everyone will appreciate according to their means and their ability to pay for plastic at the price of certain (more) precious materials.

I added the public prices of the sets above in the corresponding column on Pricevortex in order to allow you to compare with the prices charged by the different European versions of Amazon.

The man is not only gifted but he is also generous and does not hesitate to share his creations for free so that as many people as possible can enjoy them.

It's rather rare these days, and it deserves a tip of the hat: HJ Media Studios has just made all of its armor (Iron Man, Iron Patriot, War Machine) available in the form of a decals (faces, busts, back, legs) ready to use that you can download by clicking here: Iron Man Designs (Resolution 4333x5966) or by going directly to his flickr gallery.

No compensation is requested, it is just necessary to respect the work provided by not using these creations for commercial purposes.

A fine example of community sharing and generosity.

Chrome Silver Surfer by minifigures.pl

It's no secret, I love custom minifigs.

They allow me to add characters to my collection that LEGO probably does not intend to offer us in the official circuit and I am always on the lookout for new creations.

Minifigures.pl highlights on his flickr gallery these chrome minifigs which will a priori be marketed soon on the online store being set up that you will find at this address.

These first images let predict a final result to the height of my requirements in particular as regards the finish ... It remains to be seen the asking price for Batman, Silver Surfer, Copper Venom and Spidey 2099. If the prices are reasonable, I will certainly let me try.

LEGO Star Wars Holocron Droid

A quick feedback on this Holocron Droid to let you know that GRogall (The man has decidedly the resource ...) has just sent me the original pdf file of the instructions to reproduce the little robot responsible for giving Yoda the files serving as a support for the stories developed in The Yoda Chronicles saga.

Several of you have contacted me by email about the operation which took place in the American LEGO Stores to obtain this little robot for free and I therefore offer you these instructions for direct download at this address.

A polybag would not have been refused, but it will be necessary to be satisfied with this file ... If someone has dared to try to reproduce the serigraphy of the upper dish that we see on the visual opposite below form of decal, let him point out in the comments, that will undoubtedly interest some of you.

Last minute addition: So as not to create confusion: By clicking on the image above, you access the instructions for reproducing the Holocron Droid in the image. Here, you access the official LEGO instructions for reproducing the Holocron Droid from the promotional operation. Thanks to FetCh in the comments.

Reverse Flash custom minifig by Christo

To be completely honest with you, I don't even know who Reverse Flash is.

My culture in terms of superheroes stops at the most famous of them that I had the opportunity to find regularly in my favorite comics published in magazines. Strange ou Spidey.

A quick search on the internet taught me a little more about this character, but I must admit that it is above all the level of finish which is always so exceptional of the custom minifigs in pad-printing produced by Christo who attracts me to the products of this custom "artist".

This minifigure is superb, just like its red alter ego, of which I posted a homemade photo. at this address.

It is for sale on eBay and the auctions are going well ... (You can access the details of this custom minifigure on eBay by clicking on the visual above or here).
