I think we all agree to conclude that the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit ranges have lived.

However, we still have a few die-hards who do not let go and who try to make Tolkien's universe survive LEGO style.

Among these courageous adventurers, we find Apg1808 which launched this year in a thematic Advent calendar unveiled daily on its flickr gallery.

I will follow the thing, just to remember the best hours of these ranges too quickly disappeared from the LEGO offer.

If you want to do the same, it's at this address that it happens.

As usual, those following already know (see this article) : The and 21303 WALL-E has been discontinued for many weeks to undergo some changes.

LEGO finally decides to officially communicate the reasons for the prolonged break in this reference and even if the information is no longer a secret, the manufacturer publicly admits on the LEGO Ideas blog the problem of stability of the robot's neck and the need to have to correct this design flaw.

In fact, version 2.0 of this box is already available and some customers have just received their copy. After a brief availability on the LEGO Shop, it has also just returned to break with a shipping date scheduled for December 9.

After comparing the two versions of the set, it is apparently possible to differentiate them via the number written on the stickers that seal the box: Those of the first version of the set bear the reference # 28S5 and those of the corrected version bear the reference # 47S5 . It seems that this is the only notable difference between the two boxes.

If you have purchased the first version of this set and you cannot be satisfied with the first version of the robot head fixing system, please do not hesitate to contact customer service to obtain the necessary parts for the implementation of the modification made by LEGO.

The image is not very clear and it is an illustrative visual used on the boxes of 60 sachets but it is always better than nothing: Here is the set of 16 collectible minifigs of the series 15.

As a reminder, below is the description in French, briefly uploaded by Amazon a few weeks ago, of this new series of 16 sachets. (LEGO reference of the bag to the unit 71011 - 6138959 for the box of 60 bags) planned for early 2016:

It's time ! Unless you don't have the internet or close your eyes while surfing the web, you couldn't miss the very serious "reviews"and other photos saturated with Instagram filters of the contents of the first boxes of the 2015 LEGO Star Wars Advent calendar.

Besides, it's like every year the race for the one who will post his photo before the others, and I think that sooner or later we will end up having "previews"the day before, history for some to be sure to be the first ...

This year, instead of complaining about the concept of micro-gadgets, I decided to innovate and ask my children to choose between two calendars: The LEGO version with its micro-things and the Kinder version with its stuff in chocolate.

The Kinder version wins hands down. And the judges' arguments are final: "... There, at least we immediately recognize what is in the box of the day and in addition it is eaten! ..."CQFD.

How does it work with you?

PS: I still secretly open my LEGO Star Wars calendar, just to occupy myself, eh ...
