Rest assured, it is not to add a layer that I am sending you a photo taken at the moment of the contents of box N ° 5 of the Star Wars Advent calendar: This sublime nano-MTT that you will have obviously immediately recognized.

What more can be said ? Nothing. Let's move on.

The French Store Calendar for December 2012 is online and you can download it in pdf format at this address or by clicking on the image above.

Nothing very exciting planned except the free Christmas Pick-A-Brick box (from 55 € of purchases) to fill in store until December 24, as well as mysterious end-of-day offers. year (from December 26 to 31, 2012) about which little is known. No doubt the opportunity to obtain a small reduction on certain sets at the end of the course.

I remind all those who do not yet know that the LEGO Store in Euralille will open its doors on December 7th. Store opening hours are not indicated on dedicated spaceMore the Euralille site indicates that the shops in the mall are open from 10:00 a.m. to 20:00 p.m.

Finally, I would like to inform you that LEGO has posted its usual survey (in English) intended for AFOLs at this address:  surveymonkey.com/s/LEGOfansDec2012

After the set 79000 Riddles for the Ring (see here) it's the turn of the sets 79001 Escape from Mirkwood Spiders, 79002 Attack of the Wargs, 79003 An Unexpected Gathering, 79004 Barrel Escape et 79010 The Goblin King Battle to pass into the hands of Artifex.

As far as I'm concerned, I've already taken the plunge and ordered these sets.

But if you are still hesitating, here is what to get a very precise idea of ​​the content of these boxes and their potential.

And if you want to buy these boxes at the best price, take advantage of the offer below, it expires tonight.

Here is an example of what gives the command that I have just placed on amazon.de for sets from The Hobbit range.

The prices charged are already much lower than those offered by LEGO on the LEGO Shop and we must also deduct the 20% discount offered by amazon.de until December 5 (i.e. tomorrow ...)

This discount is applied immediately before payment and the five sets available therefore cost me 215.61 € including postage instead of 285.45 € on the LEGO Shop.

You have a few hours left to take advantage of this 20% discount valid on the entire LEGO range.

Now that we've discovered the official visuals for the Series 9 minifigs and set our sights on some of them, the issue of supply remains to be resolved.

The distribution of these series of minifigs is rather chaotic in France. Will we have to be content, as with the previous series, of a few bags at the checkout at the supermarket or in some toy stores?

I got into the habit of ordering boxes of 60 minifigs that several of us shared depending on the content (so far three sets per box).

But the situation seems to be changing with this series 9: According to WhiteFang's review on Eurobricks, the box of 60 minifigs of the series 9 would indeed contain only two complete sets of 16 minifigs, which does not help our affairs.

Here is an indication of what was in the WhiteFang box provided by LEGO:

Obviously, as was the case for the previous series, the distribution may vary from one box to another, this count is not guaranteed.

Waiting, amazon.fr has already uploaded the box of 60 sachets pre-order at a price of 118 €.

Series 9 is still not listed at Peek and Poke.
