force friday admiral yularen 5002947

I have good news and bad news: I start with the good news: LEGO will offer something on the LEGO Shop September 4 and 5 on the occasion of the StrengthFriday, day of the planetary launch of the products of the film Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

And the bad news (probably not for everyone) is that LEGO will offer from 50 € purchase in LEGO Star Wars products the polybag containing the minifig of Admiral Yularen (Reference 5002947) already offered on 4 last May as part of the operation May the 4th.

No new polybag. Nada.

To console you, know that the set LEGO Ideas 21303 WALL-E is available from today on the LEGO Shop (54.99 €), just like the set 40122 Trick or Treat (9.99 €).

The 2015 Friends and City Advent Calendars (€ 19.99) are both available: LEGO Friends 41102 Advent Calendar 2015 at this address et 60099 City Advent Calendar 2015 at this address.

The Architecture set 21024 The Louvre is available at the public price of 59.99 €.

21303 WALL-E

The rumor swells, and when the rumor swells in the small world of LEGO, it is difficult to distinguish between the true and the false.

There is currently talk on various sites and blogs of a possible postponement of the date of sale, scheduled until proven otherwise for September 1, of the set LEGO Ideas 21303 WALL-E.

This postponement is according to some due to a design (or construction ...) defect which would cause instability of the head of the small robot.

LEGO has not confirmed or denied anything and the set is still announced for now for September 1st on the LEGO Shop.

Some mention the possibility of a recall of products already shipped to several brands who have also hastened to sell these few boxes. This will not happen, and if by chance the manufacturer should find a solution to this "problem", it will probably be as usual a set of parts allowing the modification of the original model which will be shipped by client service.

At this stage, the best indicator remains the respect of the date planned for the sale of this box. If LEGO has decided to change its content, the date will be postponed by several weeks on the LEGO Shop. This is still not the case as of this writing.

LEGO Dimensions Gaming Capsule

When you have accumulated the expansion packs for the LEGO Dimensions video game, you will need the ultimate accessory above: The storage box for your minifigs and RFID sockets reinvented in Gaming Capsule by LEGO ...

All kidding aside, the box seems rather functional to me, but I'm waiting to see the price at which it will be offered in France. She is currently referenced by amazon UK priced at £ 14.99 (approx. € 20) and amazon FR the reference without indicating a sale price for the moment.
