Embargo or not, force friday or not, some brands are taking the lead by putting on sale now the new LEGO Star Wars boxes based on the film Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

The above photo was taken at JouéClub in Colmar. Most stores have been delivered, and some are on Disney guidelines, some are not. It's up to you to see if your favorite store has decided to "sling"or to wait wisely next September 4th ...

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.

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.

It is thanks to a photo from the Store Calendar US for next October that we can discover one of the two Holiday Sets which will be offered on the LEGO Shop and in the LEGO Stores at the end of the year.

So here is the above christmas train of set 40138 which will be offered from mid-October to mid-November and which will probably be joined the following month by the set 40139 Gingerbread House, if we refer to the respective references of these two sets. As usual, you will have to spend a certain amount ($ 99 in the USA) for this box to be added to your order.

To put some order in the minds of all those who already saw themselves buying their Doctor Who or Doc Brown minifigs as soon as the LEGO Dimensions game is released on September 27, LEGO has cracked a mini-guide which allows us to better understand the provisional schedule for the marketing of the game's various expansion packs.

The first wave of Level Packs (€29.99), Team Packs (€24.99) et Fun Packs (€14.99) will support the launch of Starter Pack (99.90 €) containing the portal and the minifigs of Batman, Wyldstyle (cool tag home) and Gandalf.

It will then be necessary to wait at the beginning of November for a second wave of expansion packs and it is finally in 2016 that the following three waves will be put on sale, the last being scheduled for the month of May 2016.

Good luck to the completers who will make the effort to invest in all of the game's packs: They will have to pay the modest sum of € 784.53 ...

Almost all of these packs are already available for pre-order from amazon (See the dedicated section on Pricevortex)
