lego white noise making of bullshit marketing stuff

If you want to know (a little) more about the development of the relaxing playlist titled "LEGO White Noise"Online for three weeks on several platforms including Spotify, iTunes and Google Music, the manufacturer has posted the making of the thing.

We suspected that all this was based on overturned bricks, manipulated, brewed, etc ... and this short very first degree video on the subject will probably not teach you much. I have already said it during the initial announcementFrom the concept, I'm not at all sensitive to these ASMR brick noise. I tried to insist to see if my stress level dropped as I listened, but nothing helped, I come out more annoyed than before.

Some of you may have tried out this seven track playlist, feel free to indicate if you felt more relaxed from these different sound sequences which seem like it took a lot of research and research. experimentation. Unless Jinn, the sound engineer in the video, and his collaborators wanted to play a joke on LEGO and pocket a small ticket in the process. Hard to say, we don't see them smiling under their masks.

LEGO BrickHeadz Pets 2021 40442 Goldfish and 40443 Budgie

If you like LEGO BrickHeadz minifigures and more specifically those that reproduce pets, here are two new references that will be released on March 1: sets 40442 Goldfish (186coins - 14.99 €) and 40443 Budgie (261coins - € 14.99).

On the one hand, it will be necessary to assemble a goldfish and its "fry" (it is written on the box), on the other it will be a question of building a parakeet and its chick.

These two boxes join the other sets already on sale which feature pets, the references 40440 German Shepherd (14.99 €) and 40441 Shorthair Cats (€ 14.99), using the principle of the adult accompanied by a younger animal and the presentation base dressed with a sticker to choose from among the two stickers included in the box.

Note: the products are online on Malaysian version from the official store.

lego starwars magazine february 2021 mandalorian minifigure

Two new official LEGO magazines are currently on newsstands with on one side the LEGO Star Wars version accompanied by a Mandalorian minifig already seen in the LEGO Star Wars set 75267 Mandalorian Battle Pack (14.99 €) marketed since 2019 and on the other hand the LEGO Marvel Avengers version which allows you to obtain a minifig of Venom already seen in the sets in the sets 76115 Spider Mech vs. Venom (€ 54.99), 76150 Spiderjet vs. Venom Mech (€ 39.99), 76151 Venomosaurus Ambush (79.99 €) and which will also be provided in the set 76175 Attack on the Spider Lair (84.99 €) from March 1st.

It's up to you to see if these two minifigs deserve to spend respectively 5.99 € for the Mandalorian and 6.50 € for Venom or if it is better to invest in one of the references already marketed which allow to obtain these two characters.

Through the pages of these two new magazines, we discover the products that will be offered with the next issues and I have scanned the visuals concerned: the Emperor Palpatine will be available with the LEGO Star Wars magazine from March 10, 2021 and Thor will accompany the new issue of the LEGO Marvel Avengers magazine starting May 5, 2021.

Rey Palpatine's grandfather's minifig with its angular hood will obviously not be new or exclusive, it is the one in the set 75291 Death Star Final Duel (109.99 €). It will be delivered with the red saber with golden handle also seen in this box.

Thor's minifigure is quite common, it is the one seen in the sets 76142 Avengers Speeder Bike Attack (24.99 €) and 76153 Helicarrier (129.99 €), it will be accompanied by Mjolnir.
