LEGO Minifigures Series 9 & 10

This is another list as it often circulates before the actual announcement of the content of the new series of collectible minifigs and it comes to us from The Daily Brick.

We already know that the 9 series scheduled for January 2013 will be packaged in silver colored bags and will carry the reference 71000.
Here is the list that the site in question says it has "uncovered"(discovered) without specifying where or how. It is therefore advisable to remain cautious:

Alien trooper
Chicken Suit Guy
Maid marion
Heroic knight
cyclops
Mermaid
Fortune Teller
Dr. Splitz
Roller Derby Girl
Judge
Battle Mech
Caesar
Downtown Cop
Plumber
Waiter
Hollywood starlet

LEGO Star Wars UCS 10227 B-Wing Starfighter

With a little delay, here are two interesting reviews at Artifex, which has recently invaded us a little with its not really interesting micro-reviews of each box of the set LEGO Star Wars 9509 Star Wars Advent Calendar 2012.

We finally come back to real reviews and we therefore find the video of the exclusive set LEGO Star Wars Luke Skywalker's Mini Landpseeder sold during from New York Comic Con 2012 including I posted two pictures to you directly from my hotel room it has some time, and an even more interesting video about the set UCS 10227 B-Wing Starfighter which is currently offered at the public price 209.99 € on the LEGO Shop, but with double VIP points and free transport costs until the end of October.

Not wanting to wait for a hypothetical availability at amazon or elsewhere, I cracked. The 419 VIP points represent a reduction of around 10% (100 VIP points = 5 €) to be used on a future purchase and in my case it will probably be the set 10937 Arkham Asylum Breakout scheduled for January 2013.

(thank you to everyone who sent me the links to these reviews by email or in the comments)

LEGO Minifigures Series 9 & 10 This isn't the ultimate scoop, but according to these visuals lying around the server of German online merchant buecher.de, series 9 and 10 of collectible minifigs will have sachets of silver and gold respectively.

No info on the content of these sachets for the moment, but I'm sure the first visuals will be soon. Moreover, eBay with all the new minifigs of the 2013 ranges already on sale (Batman from the set 76001 The Bat vs Bane , Michelangelo TMNT, Legends of Chima, Goblin The Hobbit) is gradually becoming an almost more active source of information than the string of sites and blogs devoted to the LEGO brand ...

Legends of Chima 2013

It's still empty apart from the three images that scroll in a loop, but LEGO announces the color with the upload ofa dedicated mini-site : Legends of Chima will be entitled to high-end marketing packaging, as is the case with many LEGO ranges.

And it would be better if someone explains to us what it's all about, because with the announced sets (grouped below), I have trouble for the moment to visualize where LEGO wants to take us ... have understood that Speedorz are a species of vehicle that will have to be propelled with launchers similar to those of spinning tops, but I still have not understood why wolves, eagles, crocodiles and cats move with devices that they also look like animals.

I'm probably exaggerating a bit, but I'm looking forward to the cartoon that should be released on Cartoon Network in 2013 and which will tell us how we get there. This new range would almost make me regret the imminent disappearance of ninja fighter pilots ...
