And if you're not happy, wait for the balances in 2 years, or pull out your Millenium card in six months. LEGO is no longer in the tariff level, and the set SCU 1025 R2-D2 is on the LEGO Shop for 194.99 €. Collectors have money and LEGO is committed to making them spend it. And despite this very high price, I am convinced that this set will enter from May 1, 2012, the official date of sale, in the top 3 of the best-selling UCS sets in the Star Wars range.

Indeed, the astromech droid companion of C-3PO is a symbol which should attract all fans of the saga, AFOLs or not, who will not hesitate to pay a high price to have this R2-D2 of 31 enthroned on their desk. cm high. the iconic character of this character should attract customers who usually patronize LEGOs but this time around will want to treat themselves to the ultimate gadget.

Obviously, there will always be a few wealthy amateurs to find this price quite reasonable. After all, the 10179 UCS Millennium Falcon was sold well for € 549 when it is just a parts-based mockup intended for exhibition without any proper functionality (pass me the rotating turrets. and the doors that open). What is even more shocking is the price of this set in other countries:  $ 179.99 in the United States, £ 149.99 in Great Britain... Tax or not, VAT or not, take out your calculators and see for yourselves that we are indeed the cash cows of the business ...

Let's go for a few minutes of action and humor with this new, very well done LEGO DC Super Heroes themed video that could actually be the intro of the future game. Lego batman 2.

Special thanks BigHobbit for the info, moreover thank you to all those who send more and more emails to inform me of the various news published on the Internet, you are a real source of information that I obviously take very seriously.

EB games offers the promo that changes everything with an exclusive minifig (reference LEGO 30164) of Lex Luthor in uniform Power Suit (seen in the game trailer)  offered for any pre-order of the game in ps3 version ou Nintendo DS. The offer is apparently exclusive to this merchant, but I think we'll see it again at other vendors soon.

A Cuusoo idea which caught my attention and which promotes the concept of comics based on minifigs and LEGO gear. This concept is not new, LEGO regularly includes small comics in its sets as is the case with the Super Heroes range today. It can also be found in the LEGO Magazine as it was the case in the January / February 2012 issue with 4 pages on the Star Wars theme.

LEGO knows how to stage its production through various media: Animated films (Clutch Powers), short films intended for TV broadcasting (The Padawan Threat) and why not a range of comics? Obviously, the scenarios would have to be a little more elaborate than the few Ninjago or Star Wars boards to which we are entitled in the LEGO Magazine, but I would be the first to agree to pay a few euros to regularly find the adventures of my minifigs favorites ....
