lego star wars rogue one characters 1 1

LEGO has just uploaded a visual of the film's cast Rogue One: A Star Wars in minifig sauce largely inspired by the photo of the casting which has been circulating for several months already.

From left to right: Riz Ahmed, Diego Luna, Felicity Jones, Jiang Wen and Donnie "IP Man"Yen.

It is difficult to know for now if the minifigs shown in the illustration above are those that we will find in the few boxes based on the film that will be marketed next September ...

lego 10252 volkswagen beetle new set creator 2016 10187 remake new model

Small debriefing on a rumor that is confirmed every day a little more: LEGO will offer this summer a set from the Creator Expert range bearing the reference 10252. In this box, a version of the Volkswagen Beetle. The US public price would hover around $ 100.

And that's all we know for the moment about this box which should join the other vehicles already marketed in the Creator Expert range: 10248 Ferrari F40 (2015) 10242 Mini-Cooper (2014) or 10220 Volkswagen T1 Camper Van (2011)

Nothing is known for the moment on the exact contents of the set: Version identical to the one already marketed by LEGO in 2008 (above), adaptation to LEGO sauce of a more recent version of the Beetle, etc ... We will still have to wait for confirmation of the version of the vehicle that will be offered.

In any case, that all those who resign themselves to the prices charged on the secondary market for the set 10187 Volkswagen Beetle released in 2008 rejoice: They will be able to add a Coccinelle to their collection without paying a high price (650 € in new on Bricklink, at least as much on eBay, etc.).

Early sale for members of the VIP program from mid-July, general availability in August 2016.

sanctum santorum doctor strange concept art

The first teaser / trailer for the movie Doctor Strange with Benedict Cumberbatch in the title role is available and it is an opportunity to remind that LEGO has planned a box associated with the film.

We do not know much about this set whose UK retail price would be £ 34.99: In the box, we would find 3 minifigs and what to assemble what seems to be the Santorum Sanctum According to the vague descriptions uploaded during the last London Toy Fair.

Note that the LEGO Marvel Avengers video game will benefit from a Character & Level Pack Doctor Strange allowing to unlock an additional level and some characters: Baron Mordo, Clea, Doctor Strange, Doctor Voodoo, Dormammu, Jennifer Kale, Mindless One Warrior et Night Nurse.

The film will be released in theaters on October 26, 2016.

Update : So it would be the set 76060 Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum (358 pieces) with Doctor Strange, Karl Mordo and The Ancient One.

LEGO Star Wars Magazine: An AAT with # 11

The April issue of the official LEGO Star Wars magazine is on newsstands.

He is accompanied by a Probe Droid of 21 pieces (Instructions below) almost identical, except for a few parts colors, to that of the set 75138 Hot Attack released this year.

We discover inside the magazine the exclusive gift for the month of next May: A rather nice AAT which has the merit of being significantly different from the version polybag 30052 released in 2011.
