Lego the lone ranger

The suspense is finally lifted on the content of the LEGO The Lone Ranger range which we did not know much about until now.

Brickset has obtained a scan of the pages of the new 2013 catalog and we finally discover this range which western fans are no doubt expecting trop beaucoup.

At first glance, this all looks very nice, with Battle Pack for setting up your own Union cavalry regiment, a stagecoach whose design I ask to see more closely, a village in the Wild West, a train , horses...

The actual arrival on the shelves is announced for May 2013 in Germany. Until then, we will have access to the official visuals on a white background that will allow us to get a definitive idea of ​​these sets.

I don't expect to be a real fan of the movie: Johnny Depp, again him, in his horny, painted guy roles is starting to tire me a bit. But I remain sensitive to the universe of the western which brings me back to my younger years.

So, a priori, it will be for minifigs, cowboys, Indians and northern soldiers.

The official rates that will be charged in Germany:

79106 Cavalry Builder Set 14.99 €
79107 Comanche Camp 29.99 €
79108 Stagecoach Escape 49.99 €
79109 Colby City Showdown 59.99 €
79110 Silver Mine Shootout 79.99 €
79111 Constitution Train Chase 99.99 €

And for those who are wondering: set 79109 does indeed seem to contain LEGO's interpretation of the Modular Western Town presented on Cuusoo and which is in the "Review"after getting 10.000 supporters.

I'm joking...

LEGO Star Wars 75014 Battle of Hoth

Everything has already been said about this umpteenth set vaguely inspired by the Battle of Hoth in the LEGO range. I say vaguely inspired, because it would take a little more than a Snowspeeder and a few minifigs to make it look like something. Although with all the sets on this theme accompanied by one or two AT-ATs, we start to have an interesting diorama.

I just take the opportunity to offer you the new visual of the box uploaded by GRogall and to talk about the two minifigs now presented as "Hard to find"delivered in this set.

On the one hand, we have a new version of Luke in pilot outfit, with two pockets on the pants. Hooray.

On the other, the really new minifig of this set, this good old General Carlist Rieekan, commander of the Echo base on Hoth and from the same planet as Leia: Alderaan (The one that explodes ...). Well, this guy is not a star of the saga either, but he deserved his minifigure.

This is not the minifig of the year, but he is one more interesting character in our Star Wars minifig collections and it is for him that I will buy this set which should be exclusive to certain brands or to the LEGO Shop.

A minifigure that we will not see again anytime soon in another set, plus a box with restricted marketing = Lots of regrets later for Star Wars fans who will have bypassed it.

If you want more close-ups, go to GRogall's Brickshlef gallery. Besides, if you want HD visuals of new things, put his favorite gallery and stop looking for them.

Because Sir Ian McKellen is a great actor and all of us Lord of the Rings fans or X-Men fans for that matter love this actor, this 30 second video fits here.

I don't see any other valid reason, nor do I need it.

Ninjago will be back in 2014

And it's an announcement that has just been made on the official LEGO forums : The Ninjago range will return in 2014.

We do not yet know how, or with what, but LEGO reserves with this announcement the possibility of bringing back this range which has probably been one of the biggest commercial successes among the manufacturer's in-house licenses.

Evil tongues, like me, will say that LEGO is preparing to react to the possibility of a dismal crash of the Legends of Chima range ...

LEGO Super Heroes DC Universe - 10937 Arkham Asylum Breakout

I know that the info regarding the Super Heroes line is usually posted on Brick Heroes, but LEGO just sent a general alert email about the set 10937 Arkham Asylum Breakout, so I'll put the info here, just to be sure you've understood:

The and, 10937 Arkham Asylum Breakout, sold for 159.99 € on the LEGO Shop, will be available from December 18, 2012 in ALL of Europe, you read correctly, All of Europe.

The USA and Canada will have to wait until December 31, 2012, EUX.

So, bunch of spoiled rotten kids, stop stamping and take out the bank card at 0:01 a.m. to take advantage of this incredible privilege that LEGO has in store for us. US.

On the other hand, the guy from LEGO who spamming to sell his set does not indicate if we will be delivered before Christmas. It's nerd, because without that guarantee, is the risk worth taking? 

It's for you to see...

For all intents and purposes, I still referenced this set to Pricevortex. It will inevitably be possible to quickly find it cheaper at amazon than at the LEGO Shop.
