LEGO Star Wars Microfighters Display Case

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?

deadpool lego sets fake pr stunt 1

I hadn't specifically planned to talk about it here, but I have received a lot of messages regarding the two supposedly LEGO "sets" based on the movie Deadpool whose visuals are currently circulating.

I believe that it is therefore useful to bring some clarifications to all those who do not have a very developed sense of the second degree and who have believed for a moment (one wonders how it is possible ...) that these two boxes would be marketed one day ...

These two "sets", whose visuals have been highlighted on Twitter by Ryan Reynolds aka Deadpool in the movie, which releases February 10, are not real LEGO products. This is a simple marketing joke meant to generate some buzz. Nothing more.

75098 Battle of Hoth - K-3PO?

We talk again about the set about which we don't know much about for the moment: The reference 75098 Battle of Hoth ( Assault-on-Hoth, it is according to the sources ...).

Announced as imminent several times, the marketing of this box would finally take place, according to the latest rumors, on the occasion of the next May the 4th, its retail price would be 249.99 € and it could even contain the new version of the droid K-3PO (above), which incidentally makes a brief appearance in the video below.

So far, we only had this video to try to visualize the hypothetical content of the set. 75098 Battle of Hoth which according to the advertised public price should be a good big well-stocked playset.

This new version of K-3PO, probably escaped from a LEGO factory and view on flickr, will replace the much more minimalist minifigure released in 2007 in the set 7666 Hoth Rebel Base and in a way materializes the link between this video and this highly anticipated box.

LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens Video Game Special Edition

The FNAC has put online the different editions of the video game LEGO Star Wars - The Force Awakens and the brand offers a special Edition different from that sold at Micromania: The polybag 30279 Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle replaces the reference 30278 Poe's X-Wing Fighter in this pack.

It is therefore an interesting option for all those who took advantage at the beginning of January of the offer on the LEGO Shop allowing to obtain the polybag 30278 and who do not want to acquire the Deluxe Edition accompanied by the polybag 30605 Finn (FN-2187) and Season Pass.

This special Edition accompanied by polybag 30279 is available for pre-order for PS3 platforms (49.90 €), PS4 (59.90 €), XBOX 360 (49.90 €) and XBOX One (59.90 €).

Note that the game in version Premium Edition, also available on PS3, PS4, XBOX 360 and XBOX One, is offered on FNAC.com at a price of 59.90 € (PS3 and XBOX 360) et €69.90 (PS4, XBOX One).

A PC version Premium Edition is also in preorder at the rate of 39.90 € at this address, but, as with other packs of this type which are available for pre-order, the product sheet does not yet indicate whether the game will indeed be accompanied by the polybag 30605 Finn (FN-2187).

Update : Amazon Germany offers a "Super" Premium Edition available at this address which includes polybags 30605 Finn (FN-2187), 30277 First Order Star Destroyer, 30278 Poe's X-Wing Fighter et 30279 Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle, all for the modest sum of € 69.99. The game being multilingual, my choice is quickly made ...
