I forgot to tell you: I am also a collector of LEGO Star Wars posters.

It was during promotions on the LEGO Shop in which a poster was slipped into the package for free that I started looking for others.

There are many LEGO Star Wars posters generally offered during one-off events and which can be resold for a few euros on eBay (The R2-D2 poster (2012) the 2012 minifig poster, the 2011 minfigis poster, etc ...)

Below, here is the 2013 version of the now classic poster gathering the minifigs of a wave of sets. The only image I have is not very high resolution, but that will be enough to get an idea of ​​the thing. 

In my opinion, there is a good chance that this poster will be like its fellow participants in one of the next promotions on the LEGO Shop.

30167 Iron Man vs. Fighting Drone

It is Toys R Us Hong Kong which reveals the contents of the LEGO Super Heroes Marvel polybag - 30167 Iron Man vs. Fighting Drone.
This sachet will be offered as part of a promotion on Sunday January 6, 2013.

The Iron Man minifigure is identical to the one we already got in 2012 in the set 6867 Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape.

It's hard to say if this minifigure accompanied by a combat drone is intended to reproduce, even vaguely, a scene from the film Iron Man 3 which will be released in May 2013.

I do not remember having seen Iron Man fight against a drone in the two previous games, nor in The Avengers for that matter.

No trace for the moment of the other polybag planned for early 2013: 30166 Robin and Redbird Cycle.

LEGO 10237 The Tower of Orthanc

That's all I have to offer you ... A reference: 10237 The Tower of Orthanc, and an image: The one in the white frame above.

On this image that comes from motayan's flickr gallery, the tower itself has been blurred, but we can clearly distinguish the dimensions indicated in inches, which when converted to cm give us a high building of 73 cm and a base with a diameter of 21 cm.  

We can see the edge of the logo "Confidential"usual at LEGO and this visual therefore seems to come from a document that is not intended for the general public (the p that we see is the last letter of GROUP).

If all this is not a fake, with such measurements, we will be entitled to a set of type UCS, Modular, Collector, call it what you want, but it will be very, very heavy ...

Edit of January 06, 2013: GRogall, generally well informed, confirms without further precision the existence of the set 10237 The Tower of Orthanc.

It did not take long for the first visuals of the 2013 polybags from the LEGO Star Wars range to appear.

As I told you before, I am a fan of these sachets and therefore I will not be objective about them.

That being said, this 2013 batch promises to be pretty cool with these 3 ships and this gun, microphone versions of their counterparts in System format.

I would add that the packaging with Yoda is perfect and that the visuals are really highlighted on the packaging. It's colorful, it flashes and it makes you want to.
