We forgive everything to their creativity. Well then...

You have two hours.

More seriously, a quick nod to the new LEGO advertising campaign with this photo that reminds me of some childhood memories, and which must certainly remind you of some as well ...

On the other hand, if I do indeed remember having carefully displayed my soldiers / Playmobil / minifigs / etc ... I have no memory of having been forgiven for having cluttered the living room with my armies wisely aligned, ready to do battle. ... In my memories, I was copiously called to order and I was asked to pick up all that and go play elsewhere.

To discover other visuals of dirty kids invading the adult universe with their bits of plastic, go to the mini-site dedicated to this campaign.

LEGO The Hobbit - 79000 Riddles for the Ring

LEGO is raising the pressure with the presentation of one of the sets from The Hobbit range each week. And this week, it's Hans Henrik Sidenius, a LEGO designer, to present us in detail the 79000 Riddles for the Ring set.

The gentleman strives to furnish the 2 minutes and 40 seconds that the video lasts as best he can and this minimalist set probably did not deserve as much consideration. A boat that does not float, a conceptual rock, the Ring, Gollum and Bilbo Baggins, all sold at the price announced a few weeks ago (by mistake) on amazon.fr of 13.99 €, not enough to make tons of it ...

Only a few more days to wait and Festi'Briques 2012 will open its doors to young and old alike who will be able to admire the creations of many exhibitors (over 1000) over more than 2m60 who have worked hard to offer something to have a good time in the world of LEGO.
I have from a (very) reliable source that many animations and other surprises are planned ...

Festi'Briques 2012 will therefore take place from October 26 and 28, 2012 in Chatenoy-le-Royal (71) with a night scheduled for Friday 26 from 19:00 p.m. to 22:00 p.m. which will allow all those interested to discover behind the scenes of an exhibition of this type (installation of stands, assembly of MOCs, etc.).

I would be there Saturday 27 all day. If you are in the area, do not hesitate to mention it in the comments, it will be the opportunity to have a drink in a necessarily nice atmosphere.
I leave early Saturday morning from Geneva, via Bellegarde, Bourg-en-Bresse, near Mâcon, Tournus and Châlons-sur-Saône. If anyone is on the road, I would gladly offer to take them.

The Sun: Free LEGO Toys are back - 27/10/2012 - 4/11/2012

It is not because we are directly concerned, far from it, that I am telling you about it here, but the promo of the newspaper The Sun is still very interesting this year: Many polybags of licensed ranges are on the program: Super Heroes DC Universe and Marvel or Lord of the Rings. The army-builders will be delighted to see that the polybag 30211 Uruk Hai with Ballista is part of the offer.

Personally, if someone gets their hands on a polybag 30162 Super Heroes Quinjet and want to exchange it, I have some stuff in stock. Otherwise, I'll buy it on eBay or Bricklink like everyone else ...

When will we see a promotion like this? Perhaps one day, LEGO seems to show a little more interest in our beautiful country with in particular the opening of several official stores. Hopefully the momentum will last and will result in promotional actions of the type practiced across the Channel. Hope gives life ...
