LEGO Store Lille

Vince (thank you to him) sent me this photo taken at 9:00 am this morning in front of the LEGO Store in Lille, which however only opened its doors at 10 am ...

You will notice like me that it is not the children who are in line to hope to collect the gift of the day: The set 3300003-1 LEGO Brand Store.

Let's just say that the 100 or 150 € that brings the sale of this set on eBay1?ff3=9&pub=5575046059&toolid=10001&campid=5337309211&customid=&uq=LEGO+3300003&mpt=[CACHEBUSTER] or leboncoin.fr may justify the patience and motivation of some.

If you were there this morning, come tell us all about it in the comments.

New Star Wars packaging - Second semester 2013

The information went unnoticed by LEGO fans, and for good reason it does not concern us: The official packaging of products derived from the Star Wars saga will change during the year 2013.

Yoda will disappear in favor of a very vintage Darth Vader which will therefore come to dress the boxes of most manufacturers including Hasbro.
LEGO has already confirmed that its Star Wars product line will not be affected by this change of dressing.

But there is still a major problem to be resolved: This change of visual was motivated by the release at the end of the year of Episodes II (Attack of the Clones) and III (Revenge of the Sith) in 3D in movie theaters.

However, we now know that Lucasfilm has canceled the 3D release of these two films to better focus on the future Episode VII.

We can also assume that Disney prefers to focus on the development of the saga rather than capitalizing on the fans' relative nostalgia for Episodes II and III: The 3D conversion of Episode I The Phantom Menace, although it remains a financially profitable operation, has not met with the expected success.

In short, all this to tell you about a change that does not concern us and that may not happen.

The big one "saga"The Yoda Chronicles continues with a new"episode"posted on the official website (note the quotes ...).

It's in the same vein as the previous videos, ie technically very well done, but off topic.

I would also like to point out that I have created a Hoth Bricks YouTube Channel on which I host this type of videos.  

I can host Flash videos from the official LEGO site and integrate them more easily into the blog.

It's also a good way to avoid showing videos from other channels that are too often blocked by advertising.

Because we need something for everyone, we are still waiting for the hypothetical images of the Star Wars, Lord of the Ring and Super Heroes ranges which will probably not arrive and the principle of Technic is still to move things that move things, here is a video of the 2013 novelties in action with the vehicles from the sets 42008 Service Truck et 42009 Mobile Crane MK II

Other excellent videos of Technic novelties presented during this Nuremberg Toy Fair 2013 are available on hobbymedia.it YouTube channel, we can see in particular the Monster Truck of the set 42005.

Yoda tells me in the headset to send you this message:

"Towards the light your finger you will point, then the truth you will know."
