Lego dc super hero girls

The server that hosts the images of LEGO products has been updated and it is therefore an opportunity to discover the gallery of official visuals of the three sets of the LEGO DC Super Hero Girls range which will be on sale from December 1st. to USA.

After reflection, and even if I'm not a big fan of the mini-doll format used here and already present in the Friends, Disney Princess and Elves ranges, I find that these boxes still contain many pad printed parts or very stickers. interesting for the fan of the "classic" LEGO Super Heroes line that I am. I will have a hard time resisting ...

LEGO Creator Expert 10255 Assembly Square

The range of sets commonly called "Modular Buildings"will celebrate its tenth anniversary in 2017. For the occasion, LEGO announces the set 10255 Assembly Square.

Despite an appellation that has fueled all possible and imaginable speculations over the past few weeks, it is more simply a small neighborhood of 4002 rooms full of more or less obvious tributes to the 11 boxes already sold in this range: 10182 Cafe Corner (2007), 10190 Market Street (2007) 10185 Green Grocer (2008), 10197 Fire Brigade (2009), 10211 Grand Emporium (2010), 10218 Pet Shop (2011), 10224 Town Hall (2012), 10232 Palace Cinema (2013), 10243 Parisian Restaurant (2014), 10246 Detective's Office (2015) et 10251 Brick Bank (2016).

The list of these micro-references disseminated in this set is available at this address in PDF format. The most obvious: The Tile from the LEGO Fan mom which represents the 10182 Café Corner set. The rest is just associations of ideas, shared construction techniques or similar colors.

No VIP preview for this box, marketing announced for January 1, 2017 on the LEGO Shop and in the LEGO Stores. Public price for France: 259.99 €.

Eight minifigs accompany the buildings provided: A dentist, a barista [coffee worker], a baker, a florist, an instrument store clerk, a dancer, a photographer, a young LEGO-loving mother and her baby. A parrot and a dog complete the whole thing.

Below is the official description of the set, followed by the presentation of this box by Jamie Berard, the official designer of the LEGO Creator Expert range. Note the presence in this set of a 1x1 brick in a version with studs present only on two adjacent faces which should appeal to MOCeurs of all stripes and SNOT enthusiasts.

lego contest september 2016

As usual, very many of you took part in the last competition organized in partnership with LEGO.

The four winners were drawn from among the valid entries registered.

For information, the correct answers to the two questions asked were Poe Dameron et Ghost Rider. it was enough to be attentive to find these right answers and I am surprised to see that some have found a way to be wrong ...

Entries from those who have found it useful to create dozens of email addresses and enter from the same IP address have been invalidated. I am not talking about those who play "with the family" but rather those who try to increase their chances by taking dozens of different identities and by validating participations in the chain.

In short, the first two of the list of winners displayed below will each receive a copy of the set. 76057 Spider-Man: Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge Battle and the next two will each receive a copy of the set 75148 Encounter on Jakku.

The four winners were contacted by email to organize the shipment of the prize by LEGO.

Without a response from them within a reasonable time, new winners will be designated.
