Better late than never. The publisher Huginn & Munnin, which handles the localization of LEGO works published by Dorling Kindersley (DK) via its QILINN collection, announces the arrival on the shelves of the French version of the book LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia New Edition accompanied by the exclusive minifig of Darth Maul.

The original version of the book was published in 2020 and if you have waited hoping to see a French version of this non-exhaustive dictionary of minifigs from the LEGO Star Wars range come out one day with very large photos surrounded by some information and other anecdotes on the character concerned, your patience is finally rewarded.

Darth Maul is here in his Crimson Dawn version (Scarlet Dawn), named after the criminal organization of which he is the leader. We therefore find the pendant which takes up the logo of the organization on the tattooed chest of the character.

The 224-page book is sold at the public price of 24.99 €, the English version is still available for a little less:

Already available in Germany for several months, the new official LEGO Technic magazine published by Blue Ocean is now available in France. The first issue sold for €6.99 comes with the polybag 30465 Helicopter, a bag of 70 pieces that is otherwise available en masse on the secondary market for less than €4.

This first issue also seems to be more of a test than a real magazine launch: you have to make do with less than twenty pages, of which only twelve are devoted to editorial content. There is also a survey that should allow the publisher to decide on the future of this new thematic support. For the rest, the proposed content is aimed at young audiences, do not expect to find enough to satisfy your appetite for construction techniques.

In short, as it stands, this pilot issue sold for €6.99 is far from offering the level of content that one would hope for from a publication centered on the LEGO Technic universe. Let's hope that a second issue will come out one day with a few more pages, fewer disguised advertisements and a few articles addressing, for example, the basic principles of the range.

toujours thanks to Amazon, we discover today a large handful of official visuals of the LEGO Star Wars Diorama Collection set 75330 Dagobah Jedi Training who made a discreet appearance yesterday on one of the presentation visuals of the set 75329 Death Star Trench Run (665 pieces - 59.99 €).

This box of 1000 pieces which seems to me at first sight very successful but which we will talk about in more detail very soon will be available at the public price of 79.99 € from May 1st.

It is during an interview concerning the products derived from the Avatar franchise that we finally obtain confirmation of information that has been feeding the usual channels for several months already: there will indeed be a range of LEGO derivative products based on the first two films of the Avatar franchise in 2022 .

Difficult to know more at this stage, the interview lists all the partnerships planned around the second part of the saga and, concerning LEGO, it is necessary to be satisfied with the declaration below which announces a series of sets based on the first film released in theaters in 2009 and on the new opus expected for December 14, 2022:
