While the broadcast in France of the first season of the animated series LEGO Star Wars The Freemaker Adventures has just started, the Blu-ray and DVD packs comprising the thirteen episodes of the series just announced for next December 6th.

The bad news is that instead of a minifigure (exclusive or not), the buyers of these packs will be offered ... six magnets (exclusive).

As a good compulsive and complete collector, I generally try to be exhaustive and bring together all the products of the ranges that I collect, as long as it is LEGO and plastic. I will therefore skip these few magnets, my fridge does not need them.

More seriously, I don't understand how a toy maker whose minifig is one of the historical symbols doesn't bother to put one in a pack that contains an animated series that looks like it's advertising its own products. .. at $ 42 the Blu-ray pack, the fan deserves better than a gift like those found in Babybel's nets.

Always so anxious not to see the LEGO Ideas platform turn into a collection of uninteresting projects cobbled together in five minutes by a few idle fans, the manufacturer is implementing a new rule which therefore adds to the endless list. available at this address.

Each new project submitted on the platform must now reach 100 supporters within 60 days of its submission. If not, he goes by the wayside.

For the rest, the rules below continue to apply:

At the end of this first probationary period, the project will then have one year to reach the threshold of 1000 supporters. If not, he goes by the wayside.

When the threshold of 1000 supporters is reached, the project then has six months to bring together 5000 supporters. If not, he goes by the wayside.

Finally, when the threshold of 5000 supporters is reached, the project again has six months to bring together the 10000 supporters required to enter the review phase. If not, he goes by the wayside.

To summarize, a project therefore has a maximum period of two years and two months to hope to reach 10000 supporters.

In addition to this new rule of "60 days", which should make it possible to skim the content of the platform even faster than before, know that the search engine of the LEGO Ideas site has been updated to allow you to discover even faster and more efficiently the projects that might interest you.

If you like to celebrate Christmas by surrounding yourself with lots of LEGO-based stuff, here's something to weigh down the branches of your tree a little more with this new decoration representing a Toy Soldier with Mixels eyes (It's fashion at LEGO this year ...).

this new christmas ornament (LEGO reference 5004420) will be offered with no minimum purchase to customers of the LEGO Store in Berlin (Germany) from November 24, on presentation of the flyer from which the visual above is extracted.

It should probably arrive in France at the same time but it remains to be seen how much it will have to spend to get it because I doubt that it will be offered unconditionally with us: In 2015, it was the reference 5003083 representing a Christmas tree that was offered in all the LEGO Stores (And only in stores, nothing in the LEGO Shop) from 30 € of purchase.

You bought the set Ghostbusters 75828 Ecto-1 & 2 ? If so, I have a quick question for you: The minifig of Jillian Holtzmann at left below, how do you find it in real life? Where do you find it in the box?

I read and re-read dozens of reviews and other ultra-detailed infomercials from this set all over the internet and no one seems to mention this version of the character ...

Yet it is present on the official visuals, whether on the product sheet on the LEGO Shop (image above) or in the visual gallery uploaded by LEGO on Facebook to announce the release of the set (left image below).

The minifigure on the right, also present on the official visuals, is however well in the box, but the other face of the supplied face does not include the glasses of the visual on the left.

So I'll ask you the question again: Who has the alternate version of Jillian Holtzmann, with his personalized torso (the collar is unique and the badge clearly mentions the character's initials) and his golden glasses? WHO ?
