You don't know yet if you should spend your pennies in the set 9489 Endor Rebel Trooper & Imperial Trooper ?

It will take you 1 minute and 13 seconds to make up your mind with this stop-motion review which presents the minifigs of this Battle Pack in detail. The speederbike and the shaft are also assembled and presented from every angle, so as not to miss anything and buy (or not) knowingly.

As you probably know, each range of derivative products for a film or a cartoon uses well-defined codes in terms of packaging imposed by the holder of the license concerned.

Thus for products derived from the Star Wars universe, a character from the saga is highlighted each year (Darth Maul in 2012) and is therefore found on all the boxes sold, regardless of the brand.

We still haven't seen a single image of a Marvel set, so I offer you two examples above of derivative products that will be marketed when the film is released in April 2012. Boxes of LEGO sets should use these codes. visuals with the Avengers logo in silver color and probably a montage of the troop of super heroes responsible for saving the world and filling Disney's coffers.

Artifex continues its momentum with these impressive video reviews which relegate our good old reviews based on blurry photos taken with an iPhone to the rank of web antiques and offers us three sets among which the excellent ones 9495 et 9493.

I never tire of the X-Wing assembly sequence, which allows me to see exactly how this model is designed. When at the Y-Wing, the video convinced me that I had to offer it to myself immediately on the Lego shop, without waiting for a better price elsewhere in a few weeks / months / years ....

If you are a VIP member at LEGO, you have no more money to pay for the large sets of the Modular range and you still want to give them to yourself, you still have a solution: Buy the set 10230 Mini Modulars which is finally available on the LEGO Shop for the modest sum of 69 €, display it in your living room, stand across the room and pretend you have all of these overpriced sets in their original version. With the effect of perspective and depth, the illusion will be perfect ....

More seriously, for 69 €, this set of more than 1500 pieces is simply essential, even if like me you are not particularly a fan of this type of construction. the adaptation to the mini format is really very successful and the price remains reasonable for this type of product. If you are still hesitating, go see the superb video review of Artifex.

If you're not a VIP at LEGO, don't panic, just subscribe in the VIP program, it's free and open to all .... 

You have been several to point it out to me and I therefore cut myself off from a small visual montage that allows us to compare the werewolf claws from the Monster Fighters range and the claws of the Wolverine minifig that we were able to discover recently in an image from an official catalog.

These are indeed the same claws that we discover from various angles and they will advantageously replace those among others of the sets 7573 Battle of Alamut et 6858 Catwoman Catcycle City Chase (Weapon Bladed Claw) from the creators of custom minifigs such as felt_tip_felon whose Wolverine in Weapon X version was particularly successful. MED et Vanjey had also used these claws for their equally successful Wolverine customs.

To add two words to the Monster Fighters range, I am waiting to see more, but we must recognize that the minifigs are already very attractive both on the side of the monsters, that of that of the ghost hunters.
