The SO OUEST LEGO® Store opens on October 18!
LEGO has just sent its VIP newsletter and announces the official opening on October 18 of the Lego store from the SO OUEST shopping center located 16 rue de Lorraine in Levallois-Perret.
The LEGO Store will be open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 21:00 p.m.

As has been said time and time again in the comments, don't expect anything miraculous on the price side: The prices outside of the special promotion will be the LEGO Shop retail prices.
After the opening, it will remain to be seen to what extent this LEGO Store will offer regular promotional operations or exclusive products (No mention in the newsletter of any exclusive product for this opening).

The Sun - LEGO Promotion

Here is some info about the next promotion of the British newspaper The Sun which should start on October 27th and end on November 4th.
For once the list is rather centered on the LEGO Super Heroes and Lord of the Rings range, which promises us a good availability of the polybags concerned on Bricklink at attractive prices, competition obliges.
I am especially interested in the 30162 LEGO Super Heroes Marvel: Quinjet polybag which is a priori the first appearance in volume and whose price should be correct with the many resellers who will not fail to offer it in the days following its availability. .

I remind you of the principle of this promotion reserved for readers of the newspaper in Great Britain: The newspaper is sold with a coupon allowing to withdraw the set concerned in the stores associated with the operation. It is impossible to benefit from this operation to obtain these sets in France, they are not sold with the newspaper itself.

30163 LEGO Super Heroes Marvel: Thor and the Cosmic cube
30165 LEGO Super Heroes Marvel: Hawkeye with equipment
30162 LEGO Super Heroes Marvel: Quinjet
30017 LEGO City: Police Boat
30200 LEGO Monster Fighters: Zombie Chauffeur Coffin Car
30152 LEGO City: Mining Quad
30085 LEGO Ninjago: Jumping Snakes
30210 LEGO Lord of the Rings: Frodo with Cooking Corner
30211 LEGO Lord of the Rings: Uruk Hai with Ballista

New York Comic-Con 2012

It's Saturday and it's the day we go to Comic Con with the family. Large crowds in the living room bays, difficult to move around. Even the LEGO showcase that featured the LEGO Super Heroes Marvel set 76005 Spider-Man: Daily Bugle Showdown had taken hits. The minifigs found it difficult to stay upright.

For all those who asked me by email what the space dedicated to autograph sessions looks like, here are two images. The first is the rows dedicated to autograph sessions for has-been stars (or cult, it depends on taste) or in the making.

The second image is the stand where you have to get the "autograph ticket"for Carrie Fisher ($ 60) and Ian Mc Darmid ($ 125). There was nothing to see, everything was obscured by the black curtains and the queue was already substantial.
