Notice to all those considering investing in expansion packs of the LEGO Dimensions video game without necessarily playing the game itself: The instruction files allowing you to assemble the different versions of the micro-things delivered in each pack are available online.

If you ignore the Starter Pack and therefore on the LEGO Dimensions video game but you still want to enjoy the contents of the different expansion packs, you may need the building instructions for the various vehicles supplied and their variants. These instructions are not present in the boxes of the different packs and are only displayed in the game.

The easiest way to recover the files you need is to go to the mini-site dedicated to the game and click on the pack that interests you. A small blue icon on the right under the presentation video of the pack in question will give you direct access to all the available PDF files.
If you have the reference of the pack that interests you, you can go directly through the instruction file search service which is located at this address.

At the time of writing, only certain packs benefit from instruction files in PDF format, LEGO should probably be in the process of gradually putting them online for all the packs of the first wave whose marketing is scheduled for September 29.

If you want to share your passion for LEGO with other fans, two great exhibitions are available to you this weekend: Brick66 awaits you in Banyuls-sur-Mer (66) and Crazy Mocs exhibits in Belleville-sur-Loire (18).

The ticket prices are reasonable in both cases, there are tips to win, activities for the youngest and lots of beautiful things to discover.

Get out of your house, meet other fans, have a drink and have a great day.

LEGO has finally updated its server with the HD visual of the upcoming LEGO Star Wars poster. As many of you have asked me by email for news of this poster so far unavailable in high resolution, here is good news: You can now download it on my flickr gallery in the highest resolution available (4000x3000).

This poster will be available soon on the LEGO Shop and in the LEGO Stores, and will unfortunately be folded in four like the five previous posters.

I hope that LEGO will complete this series of beautiful posters with that of the next episode of the Star Wars saga ...

We do it again: Today and tomorrow, Toys R Us is offering a 15% discount from 3 products purchased. The offer is only valid on the brand's website and it is as usual limited to 5 products carrying the offer per basket.

Beware of the shipping costs which minimize the impact of the discount on certain boxes.

Le Store Calendar October 2015 French is online and he confirms that VIP points will be doubled from October 14 to 31 for all purchases made on the LEGO Shop and in the LEGO Stores.

A little reminder for those who do not know the VIP program accessible for free at LEGO (Register at this address): For each order, you accumulate points (1 € spent = 1 point).

100 points accumulated entitle you to a reduction of 5 € to be used on a future purchase. From October 14 to 31, you will therefore accumulate double points (€ 1 spent = 2 points) and you will therefore obtain 200 VIP points for each € 100 purchase, i.e. a discount of € 10 to be used on a next order.

In summary, you usually get a 5% discount on your purchase in the form of points to use on a future order. Doubling the points allows you to get a 10% discount on the purchase made to use on a next order.

LEGO has also thought about customers who buy DUPLO products and offers them to quadruple their VIP points (1 € spent = 4 points) from September 28 to October 4.

Bonus: No trace of the set 40138 Holiday Train offered in the USA from October 13 to November 13 in this Store Calendar ... This box will probably be offered in November with us.
