Those who follow the news of the LEGO Shop already know: The set 76023 The Tumbler, released in August 2014, is definitely out of the LEGO catalog.

All those who planned to acquire it at the beginning of the year are at their expense: initially sold at the public price of 199.99 €, this set is now trading around 400 € at amazon et on eBay ou 250 € on Bricklink (from US sellers).

If you find one or more copies in a toy store near you, please let us know in the comments, I'm sure you'll be doing a few disappointed fans who were secretly hoping that this box would still be marketed a favor. in 2016.

Fans of the LEGO Star Wars range will be happy to hear that the Stormtrooper seen in the ruins of Maz Kanata Castle, nicknamed by many fans TR-8R with reference to the phonetics of the word Traitor which he speaks onscreen before confronting Finn, in fact has an identity.

This is FN-2199, a Stormtrooper who trained with Finn aka FN-2187 before serving with him in the same squad.

Present in the set 75139 Battle on Takodana with his riot stick (Official name of the thing: Z6 Stick), this character now has a name and a story, moreover developed in the book Star Wars: Before the Awakening which recounts the adventures of Poe, Rey and Finn taking place before the events of the film.

Obviously, that's not enough to make this an exclusive minifigure, after all it's just another Stormtrooper, but it's cool information that collectors will probably appreciate.

We have known for several months now that LEGO is a partner of Sony Pictures on the Ghostbusters license, but it is Paul Feig, the director / screenwriter of the 100% female cast reboot which will be released in theaters in August 2016 who confirms on Twitter that there will be many LEGO sets based on the movie.

We should therefore find these boxes in the thematic section newly created on the LEGO Shop on the occasion of the online launch of the set 75827 Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters.

Chris Hemsworth (Thor) is also in the cast of this film and could for the occasion join the very closed club of actors who have been entitled to several different minifigs such as Chris Pratt (for example) (Star Lord / Owen Grady), Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones/Han Solo), Orlando Bloom (Legolas / Will Turner), Alfred Molina (Satipo / Dock Ock / Sheik Amar), Johnny Depp (Jack Sparrow / Tonto) or Christopher Lee (Saruman / Count Dooku).

Update : One of the sets will carry the reference 75828. It will be the Ecto-1 of the film based on a Cadillac Fleetwood.

End of the first day of sales and either I'm the one who doesn't know where to look or there isn't much to eat in LEGO products this year.

I will not dwell on the interpretation of the word "Sales"by LEGO on the Lego shop, everyone will have noticed that apart from a few DUPLO boxes and a few Bionicle sets, LEGO does not "sell" anything at all.
