21303 wall e modification

Some details about the modification proposed by LEGO on the set 21303 Wall-E to solve the problem of maintaining the robot head: This is in fact the publication by the manufacturer of a new instruction booklet in PDF format (to download at this address). If you want to compare the two versions, the instruction file of the set sold so far is to download at this address.

These new instructions will therefore be provided in the sets which will contain the modified version of the robot.

To date, LEGO has still not officially communicated on the possibility for buyers of the set in its original version to obtain the parts necessary for the modification.

If you purchased the set as soon as it was launched and in the weeks that followed, do not hesitate to contact LEGO customer service to obtain the pack of parts affected by the implementation of this modification.

If you have planned to purchase this set from December 4th, availability date announced on the LEGO Shop, you will therefore probably be entitled to the new version of the set.

lego angry birds

No need to pretend, many pages of the 2016 reseller catalog are online on flickr (I'll let you search) and logically we are talking about the future Angry Birds range which will consist of six boxes (References 75821 to 75826).

Amazon had temporarily put these six references on this line a few weeks ago with a price range ranging from € 19 for the cheapest box to € 91 for the largest set in the range.

These toys based on the movie which is itself based on the hit game will be available in May 2016. In one of these six boxes, we will find the Bad Piggies' boat seen in the trailer below. The playability of the whole range should be ensured by the presence of catapults making it possible to project, as in the game and its multiple variations, the different birds on the proposed constructions.

In addition to the green pigs, we will find in this range a large part of the cast of the game and therefore of the film: Red (seen on a first teaser of the range), Chuck (the yellow bird above), Bomb, the black bird on the left, Stella on the right who got her own version of the game, and Matilda, the white bird.

71012 disney collectible minifigures 2016

Some meager additional information concerning the series of collectible minifigs based on the Disney universe with this visual which does not reveal much but which tells us all the same that this new series will consist of 18 sachets, which it will actually carry the reference 71012 and that it will be launched in May 2016.

The brief description in the catalog from which this image is taken is unequivocal: "... In May, nostalgia effect guaranteed with a new licensed series that will delight young and old ..."

various dvd star wars yoda chronicles droid tales

I regularly receive questions by email relating to the DVD release of the various LEGO Star Wars mini-series already broadcast on television and I therefore quickly take stock here of what is already available and what will be in the weeks or months to come.

Note that there is no edition accompanied by any exclusive minifig of these animated mini-series.

The first season of the animated series The Chronicles of Yoda consists of three 22-minute episodes: The Phantom Clone, Threat of the Sith et Attack of the Jedi. Only the first two episodes are available on DVD, the third episode has never been released in DVD format.

This DVD, marketed since November 2013 is still available at amazon:

The second season of the same animated series, titled The New Chronicles of Yoda is available in two separate DVD boxes. Volume 1 contains the first two 22-minute episodes: Escape from the Jedi Temple et In pursuit of the Holocrons. Volume 2 contains the last two episodes of the series: Attack on Coruscant et Clash of the Skywalkers.

These two DVDs are available for pre-order from Amazon with availability announced for November 17, 2015:

The New Yoda Chronicles: Volume 1 - € 8.99
The New Yoda Chronicles: Volume 2 - € 8.99

The animated miniseries Droid Tales, broadcast this summer in the USA and since September in France will be entitled to a DVD release.

The five 22-minute episodes will be divided into two volumes: Episodes 1 and 2: Goodbye Endor et Crisis on Coruscant will be on the first DVD already available for pre-order and announced for December 8.

Volume 2 is already available for pre-order with a release date set for January 12, 2016 and at the same price as Volume 1.

With the animated series consisting of five episodes and each DVD containing two episodes, there is unfortunately a risk that one of the remaining three episodes (Original Titles: Mission to Mos Eisley, Flight of the Falcon and Gambit on Geonosisgoes by the wayside as was the case for the first season of the series The Yoda Chronicles (see above)...

Update : The three episodes mentioned above are present in the second DVD:
