amazon news 2016 descriptions

The regulars of Pricevortex are probably already aware: Amazon.fr has put online many sets of the first half of 2016 already available for pre-order with for some of them the complete description of the contents of the box.

You can access all of these descriptions by visiting on Pricevortex : The price of each set is automatically added as soon as the box is listed at amazon and you just have to click on the price displayed to directly access the product sheet.

Note that with regard to the Star Wars range, the sheets of the sets based on the film Star Wars: The Force Awakens do not currently benefit from any detailed description. Amazon simply says "Confidential 2016"...

For Battle Packs 75133 et 75134 and sets 75136 Droid Escape Pod, 75137 Carbon Freezing Chamber et 75138 Hot Attack, amazon has not uploaded any tariffs. Click on the links above or on the dash in the price column for amazon.fr to access the details of the two sets. Ditto for microfighters Star Wars.

Some sets from the Super Heroes range (Marvel & DC Comics) including Mighty Microphones, for which the descriptions confirm the use of non-articulated mini-legs for the minifigs delivered in each set, benefit from detailed descriptions and many other ranges are affected by this update: Disney Princess, Minecraft, Technic, Elves, Friends, Juniors, City, Architecture, Speed ​​Champions, Nexo Knights, series 15 of collectible minifigs (71011), series of collectible Disney minifigs (71012) or even Ninjago.

The prices indicated by amazon.fr are high, but this is always the case when the products are referenced before they are actually marketed. The price is then adjusted by the brand.

The descriptions used by amazon are obviously in French.

30276 First Order Special Forces Tie Fighter

Some details about the polybag above (30276 First Order Special Forces Tie Fighter) which we did not know much about until now: It is now reference by the Toys R Us (USA) brand which markets it for the modest sum of $ 3.99.

This polybag is already available in volume on bricklink ou eBay for around ten euros, and its price on the secondary market should not drop significantly despite this listing by a large brand at an attractive price.

brickfan is fucking back

The LEGO The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit lines are no longer really in the news with, a few weeks of the return in theaters of Who You Know, and LEGO has permanently withdrawn all products based on the two Peter Jackson trilogies from its catalog.

That being said, Antoine "Briquefan" offers us (finally) the last episode of the series of four videos centered on Tolkien's universe with LEGO sauce and if you follow the show, you know that each episode includes an introduction high-end which is worth a look in itself.

The rule is respected and this new 25-minute episode is a clever mix of light comedy coated with highly philosophical considerations and very documented presentations of the different sets marketed by LEGO. I get carried away. But, after all, the important thing is that it slams! (Insiders will understand).

I remind you that Briquefan will be in Nantes for Brick to the West on 21 and 22 November 2015 and in Bordeaux on the occasion of Brick Fans 2015 November 28 and 29, 2015. He will even have a stand where you can meet him in person and ask him all your questions.
