Close-up today on a somewhat particular set: It is not available for sale, it will soon be offered by LEGO and despite its look of Advent calendar, we would almost be dealing with a box of the Creator range disguised as a festive product.

This set bearing the reference 40222 LEGO Christmas Build Up will allow you to get 250 pieces (no minifig) in a box the size of a Building Figure from the LEGO Star Wars range and advertises itself as a 24-in-1 product. Its theoretical US public price is $ 19.99.

The peculiarity of this box, clearly displayed on the packing box and which makes it a set that could be classified in the Creator range, is that the 24 models offered cannot all be built at the same time with inventory provided and share common rooms. It will therefore be necessary to disassemble a model to build another and arrive at the end of the 24 mini-things, as explicitly indicated in the instruction booklet. The brick separator is provided.

Small remark following an indication of the official description which may mislead you: "...Also includes a resealable box, brick separator and extensive building instructions for all 24 models ...". This is not the red box seen on the set illustration visuals but the original packaging.

Nothing revolutionary to build, we constantly navigate between the usual mini-tips of the Advent City or Friends calendars and the Monthly Builds offered in the LEGO Stores. We obviously end with a Santa Claus after a few creatures and animals decked out with a pair of Mixel type eyes, toys, a tree, etc ...

I'm not going to list the 24 models provided here, nor to tell you on 500 lines and with great reinforcements of superlatives why each of them is a jewel of incredible creativity, blah blah ... Others will take care of it. and I guarantee you that flickr, instagram and others will be invaded by all kinds of clichés of these mini-things from December 1st.

On the inventory side, to get a more precise idea of ​​the contents of the box, you can download the PDF file that I have crafted for you at this address.

In the end, and because it's free, this little set is in my opinion a great idea that will pass the time while waiting for Christmas. And 250 coins is always good to take.

This box will be offered on the LEGO Shop and in the LEGO Stores from 23 October to 20 November 2016 from 65 € of purchase without restriction of range.

Note: If anyone is interested, I would gladly offer my copy (open) via a random draw among the comments posted below (Deadline for participation: October 15, 2016 at 23:59 p.m.). You save nothing at all since the product will be offered. Oh yes, you will still have to spend 65 € on the Shop to have it ...

Now let's move on to the topic that will bound to divide fans of LEGO Super Heroes products: Here are the first official visuals of three of the sets expected in the LEGO DC Super Hero Girls lineup, based on the eponymous animated series.

We therefore find the characters of the series in mini-doll format, or mini doll in English, already used successfully by LEGO in the Friends, Elves and Disney Princess ranges.

Above, the set 41232 Super Hero High School (Public price US $ 79.99) with Poison Ivy, Supergirl and Lena Luthor, below the set 41230 Batgirl Batjet Chase (Public price US $ 34.99) with ... Batgirl and below the reference 41231 Harley Quinn to the Rescue (Public price US $ 29.99) with Harley Quinn and a passing guy (Steve Trevor).

These three sets will be available from November 27 in the USA, Canada and Mexico, but we will have to wait until January 1, 2017 to see them arrive on our shelves.

Everyone will judge the relevance of the choice made by LEGO to represent the characters in the series with these minifigures instead of offering classic minifigs.

Three other boxes of the same barrel are planned for January 2017: 41233 Lashina Tank, 41234 Bumblebee Helicopter et 41235 Wonder Woman Dorm Room.

It will be without me, but this series of sets will probably find its audience among young fans of the animated series ...

Here's information that will be of interest to anyone who receives the print version of LEGO Club Magazine, so far available in three separate editions based on the recipient's age and interests.

To put it simply: The Junior version of the magazine entitled Green Brick definitely disappears. Subscribers under the age of 4 will no longer receive anything.

The version Yellow Brick (Friends, Elves, Disney Princess, Ninjago, Minecraft) will evolve in the near future and subscribers aged 4 to 10 will automatically receive the new version of the magazine.

No change for the moment for the version Red brick (Ninjago, Star Wars, Nexo Knights, Super Heroes, Technic, Minecraft), subscribers aged 4-10 will continue to receive it as normal.

In the latest issue of the magazine, LEGO is also promoting the LEGO Life concept, a free application that will be launched in early 2017 on the iOS and Android platforms. More information at this address.

Finally, LEGO has put online the photo of the winners of the LEGO City Mega Pack containing 21 sets brought into play last March. For those interested, here is what this giant box of 5268 pieces looks like that some collectors would no doubt have liked to add to their inventory ...

How naive I am ... At the official announcement of the LEGO Ideas set 21307 Caterham Seven 620R, the press release indicated retail prices set at $ 79.99 / € 79.99.

This was without taking into account the usual gap between the prices charged by LEGO in Germany where the set is available at the advertised price of 79.99 € and in France where the set is now available and sold for € 84.99...

A bit pricey for my taste, but die-hard fans of the lineup and LEGO-style vehicles will probably be right.
