75159 Death Star?

This is the new rumor of the day: Barely the set 10188 Death Star is it announced outgoing that a new Death Star point the tip of his nose.

In order: The rumor starts as usual from Eurobricks or the reference 75159 The Death Star was mentioned around the corner a discussion topic and Brickset in the process added the set to their inventory, probably deeming the rumor to be true.

At this stage, nothing specific has filtered out on this possible UCS set planned for 2016. We do not know if it is a luxury playset accompanied by many minifigs in the spirit of the set. 10188 Death Star from 2008 or an exhibition model which will follow on from the reference 10143 Death Star II output in 2005.

As usual, we should be careful and take every rumor with a grain of salt: The pseudo-list opening of minifigs from the Disney series which had been widely relayed is a false list invented by a few clever little people lacking visibility. Ditto for the latest more or less surreal lists of Star Wars 2016 novelties currently circulating.

advent calendar

Because with Kinder, once you've eaten everything, there's not much more to do, the 2015 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar is still welcome to add a little fun. in this count that slowly takes us to the next star wars Christmas.

So far all is well: Two thematic sequences: Tatooine and Endor with two cool minifigs and some more less successful mini-stuff. The mini Sandcrawler is the only thing that finds favor in my eyes, we will probably see it again on flickr in scenes where we can see the machine "in the distance on the Tatooine dunes".
The droid LIN-V8K will join his fellows from the 75059 Sandcrawler set, he does not deserve better.

The two minifigs provided so far are obviously not exclusive to this Advent calendar, but the sets in which they are present are large boxes with a high public price: The Ewok is already present in the set 10236 Ewok Village (272.99 €) and the Jawa is in the box of the set 75059 Sandcrawler (320.99 €). This minifigure will also be delivered in a more affordable set soon: The set 75136 Droid Escape Pod (€ 29.99) planned for early 2016. As the other would say, another Jawa is always good to take.

Overall it's still light at the moment, but since I'm a huge Hoth fan, I'm looking forward to the sequel ...

75827 Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters

Today we are talking about the set 75827 Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters with a first video review of this big box containing 4634 parts and nine minifigs.

This video was produced by Sergio aka Swiss Ghostbusters, the creator of the LEGO Ideas project Ghostbusters HQ which in its time had reached the 10.000 supports necessary for its passage in the review phase before being rejected by LEGO.

The manufacturer had promised to give him the set to close the mini-controversy that had been around fan sites recently (plagiarism? / Inspiration? / Who did what first? / Who benefits from the crime? / The colonel Mustard is guilty?, Etc ...), it is done.

Almost everything has already been said about this set, and everyone will decide from January 1, 2016 whether it is wise to spend the 389.99 € requested by LEGO to afford this luxury dollhouse.

As far as I'm concerned, I will skip the line: 2016 promises to be a busy year for the Star Wars and Super Heroes ranges and choices have to be made. Also, I don't really see what to do with this building once it's assembled. Finally, while I enjoyed the Ghostbusters movies, I'm not a huge fan of the license.

Either way, you can take a closer look at the construction process for this Ghostbusters headquarters and get a better idea of ​​the box inventory.

The video is in German, but who cares? Otherwise, there is always the option to turn on the subtitles.
