Custom Super Heroes With Case by Paul Janowski

Here are some custom super heroes produced by Paul Janowski and intended to be sold as part of the transaction Creations for Charity.

I admit that the Chrome Iron Man (Chrome version ofan original design by FineClonier) is eyeing me but at $ 200, I pass my turn. I know it's for the benefit of a good work, but if I continue to blaze in the custom minifigs, it's me who will need help ...
In fact, all of Janowski's production catches my eye, and if you like the concept, go drool over his flickr gallery.

LEGO Lord of the Rings 2013

We already know that the LEGO Lord of the Rings range will continue at least in 2013 with the appearance of 8 new sets. The first rumors (information posted on Eurobricks, then withdrawn by their author who claims a reliable source), to be taken with a grain of salt, already allow us to obtain what would be the details of 3 of these sets planned for March 2013:

790xx- The Betrayal of Isengard with Gandalf, Saruman and 5 orcs - 1034 coins and an indicative US price of $ 100
790xx- Treebeard Encounter with Merry, Pippin, an orc, and a coin-based Treebeard - 583 coins and a fare of $ 60
790xx- Bridge or Khazam had Khazad Dum with Gandalf and a coin-based Balrog - 291 coins for $ 40

Obviously, all this remains to be confirmed but these 3 sets seem plausible to me. About the set The Betrayal of Isengard, it remains to be seen if we will be entitled to Orthanc in its entirety (I doubt it given the number of pieces in the set) or just an indoor scene with a few walls.

Another visual from the LEGO Club Magazine uploaded by Bill Murphy with this page presenting the Yoda chronicles planned for 2013 on the LEGO site.
No precise indication of what this is, but I'm betting on short cartoon-style multimedia content to be viewed periodically.
Wait and see ...

Lego galaxy squad 2013

Bill Murphy alias murphquake, member of I LUG NY whom I had the opportunity to meet during the last New York Comic Con, just posted pictures pages from the LEGO Club American magazine from November-December 2012.

And at the turn of a page, we discover a cartoon preview of what the theme of the Galaxy Squad range will be. Looks like bugs are back at LEGO with this theme ...

Note the text at the bottom of the page: "... What is this newest threat?? Get ready to defend the universe from extraterrestrial pests with Galaxy squad..."
