Are you getting married and want to share your LEGO passion with your guests? This is the box you need to decorate your mounted room and make a splash (or not).

This new box of 89 pieces featuring a newlywed couple will advantageously replace the reference 853340 Minifigure Wedding Favor Set released in 2011 and its cardboard arch.

In the box, there is a [precious] ring and a complete set of hair to match the color of the bride's hair as closely as possible. As a bonus, a face perfectly suited to the gentleman who regrets his decision when it comes to taking action.

If you want to fix all this on your sprouts sprinkled with nougatine, it will be at your own risk: LEGO indicates on the box that this set is only intended to be placed on a table [For table decoration only].

Already seen set for sale on eBay. Coming to market on the LEGO Shop in the "Seasonal Items"and in the LEGO Stores.

Another episode in the crazy story of the LEGO polybags planned for 2016 with the confirmation via Eurobricks of two rumors: On the one hand, the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes polybag based on the film Captain America: Civil War which will therefore carry the reference 30447 Captain America's Motorcycle. The contents of this sachet are no longer a mystery, the name of the polybag being sufficiently explicit.

On the other, the DC Comics polybag 30603 Batman Classic TV Series - Mr. Freeze which we still do not know if it will be offered to the buyers of the set 76052 Batman Classic TV Series - Batcave (289.99 €) which will be offered on early sale for members of the VIP program as of February 17. The minifig delivered in this bag is already known.

We're finally talking about the polybag 30604 Cosmic Boy, which will be delivered in the DVD box of the animated film LEGO DC Comics Justice League: Cosmic Clash early March: According to brick set, this bag could possibly be part of the British newspaper's offer Daily Mail announced for May 2016.

If this is indeed the case, it will therefore be possible to obtain this polybag on bricklink ou eBay at a reasonable price, provided that the amount requested by resellers is significantly lower than the price of the DVD box sold 12.99 € on amazon...

Update : Brick Fanatics questioned the reliability of this list of sets that would be offered in May with the Daily Mail. To be continued ...

End of the suspense concerning the 16 characters of the next series of minifigs (generic) to collect which bears the reference LEGO 71013 and which is expected for the next school year.

Different sources can be used to complete the casting of the 16 yellow sachets that will have to be tested in order to hope to collect all the minifigs below:

  • Baby sitter
    [Young girl with a baby]
  • Wildlife Photographer
    [Wildlife photographer with a penguin]
  • Cyborg
    [Half-man, half-robot ...]
  • Ice Queen
    [Ice queen]
  • Penguin boy
    [Boy disguised as a penguin]
  • Banana Guy
    [Guy disguised as a banana]
  • Spy
    [Spy / Secret Agent]
  • Female kickboxer
    [Female fighter]
  • Cute little devil
    [Cute little devil]
  • Hiker
    [Hiker]
  • Arrogant
    [Thief / assassin]
  • Desert warrior
    [Desert warrior]
  • mariachi
    [Guitar player]
  • Spooky boy
    [Kid in disguise]
  • Scallywag Pirate
    [Pirate]
  • Dog Show Winner
    [Dog show winner]

No one having seen these minifigs yet, there may still be some approximations to the actual definition of each of the characters.

Reminder: a total or partial withdrawal La series of collectible minifigs based on the Disney universe (18 bags - Reference LEGO 71012) will be launched in May 2016.
The series of 16 minifigs "The team"(16 bags - Reference LEGO 71014) produced in partnership with the German Football Association (DFB) will a priori be exclusive for the German market and will also be marketed in May 2016.

One more thing ... It seems that there is still a box about which we do not know much about for the moment and which should be marketed during the second half of 2016: A DC Comics set which, if the rumor is confirmed, will allow us to obtain a minifig version of Ra's al Ghul.

At this stage, impossible to know if this character will be in the version "The Dark Knight"seen in the LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham video game (above) or in a comic-inspired version.

No other reliable information for the moment on the content of this set, nor on any other characters present. Based on on a list of characters which has so far been confirmed, some argue the possibility of the presence of Talia al Ghul in this set, but nothing is confirmed ...

Update : It is therefore a priori the set 76056 Rescue from Ra's al Ghul.

It's Sunday, it's raining, and we spend the time as best we can. Hanging out on Catawiki, I came across this cool display that was probably retired from a LEGO Store or a toy store and is currently on sale. Inside, we find the six boxes of the range microfighters released in 2014 (LEGO references 75028 to 75033).

I had noticed the same window now for sale on eBay for a little over $ 200, which seemed excessive to me, knowing that as a bonus the six vehicles presented are probably assembled with a lot of glue and therefore cannot be dismantled.

The showcase auctioned at this address on Catawiki currently reaches 34 € and the sale ends in three days. I hesitate to enter the race even if I find the object interesting. I already know that I'm going to have a lot of trouble finding a place for him and that he may end up in a box ...

Have any of you already purchased such showcases? If so, do they easily find a place in your home or do they end up in a box at the back of the garage?
