I Love That Minifigure: Exclusive Zombie Skateboarder

End of the suspense concerning the exclusive minifigure that will be delivered with the next book published by DK: I Love That Minifigure : Here is the visual of the announced Zombie Skateboarder, unveiled by LEGO (then withdrawn ...).

Note that this minifigure is in fact a version zombified Skater from the first series of collectible minifigs released in 2010.

If the presence of this minifigure reinforces your motivation to acquire this work which we were talking a few days ago, know that he is already in preorder from amazon for around twenty euros with availability announced for October 2015.

lego dimensions star wars nooooooooo

All the rumors are not of the same barrel and most of them are to be taken with very big tweezers. However, today we are talking about a hypothetical entry of the Star Wars universe into the already very heterogeneous one of LEGO Dimensions.

Whoever mentions this possibility on Eurobricks is generally very knowledgeable and I am inclined to give him credit on this new rumor: The information he may have provided in the past was clearly first hand and has often been proven to be correct.

We are therefore talking about the arrival of expansion packs based on the Star Wars universe for the game at the end of 2016, the beginning of 2017. In the meantime, this is the other concept. Toys-To-Life at the moment, Disney Infinity, which retains the exclusivity of the license.

A few weeks ago, however, it was an important guy at Disney, John Vignocchi (Vice President of Disney Interactive Studios) who kicked in and implied that Star Wars would never set foot in LEGO Dimensions (See this article).

If this new rumor proves to be true, and it will still take a few months for us to obtain a more official confirmation, it will confirm that the adage is indeed true: You must never say never.

PS: I repeat once again for those who still would not have understood that the visual above is a homemade DIY made by myself which has nothing official contrary to what I have already read here or there .... ;-)

new ninjago season season ninjas on the run

Fans of the LEGO Ninjago lineup who have been eagerly awaiting LEGO's release of the panel video which took place during the last San Diego Comic Con were disappointed to note that the capture of this panel did not include the various teasers offered to the public present.

LEGO has finally put online the seven videos presented to the public during this panel and you can watch them directly via the jukebox below. The second video gives some clues about the events of the next season of the animated series in which the young ninjas seem to be on the run ...

I don't watch the animated series and am not really interested in this line, but I will probably make an exception for the superb set 70751 Temple of Airjitzu which will be available at the start of the school year.

LEGO Star Wars: Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy

Among the myriad of LEGO-themed books, more or less interesting, that are flooding the shelves of bookstores right now, there is one that I look forward to. This is the above work, a promising collection of artistic creations by Vesa Lehtimäki, better known under the pseudonym ofAvanaut.

Anyone who has ever made a detour via his flickr gallery know the qualities of this talented Finnish photographer and LEGO was not mistaken by regularly calling on his services to highlight the LEGO The Hobbit range through skilfully crafted visuals (see these articles).

This 176-page book entitled "LEGO Star Wars: Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy"is expected in early November, but it is already in preorder at amazon.

(Compare before pre-ordering, prices vary according to European Amazon sites)

 LEGO® Star Wars® sets and minifigures come to life in this beautiful photography book.

Created by Finnish photographer Vesa Lehtimäki using his son's favorite toys, the book features painstaking recreations of classic movie moments and hilarious new takes on fan-favorite characters and themes. Informative captions give technical details for each scene, while anecdotes from Lehtimäki offer background insights to his creative process.

LEGO Star Wars Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy is a breathtaking new look at a timeless icon that allows fans to see their favorite minifigures from the classic saga in an exciting new way.

jurassic world 2 2018 lego maybe

It's signed: Universal has just announced that the second installment in the Jurassic World saga will be released on June 22, 2018 on screens around the world.

Jurassic World 2 will see Chris Pratt (Owen) and Bryce Dallas Howard (Claire) reprise their respective roles.

Now that the date is known, let's hope that LEGO will provide minimum service in 2016 and 2017 to prolong the interest of the general public in this line, with a few boxes that will help keep fans awake while waiting for the theatrical release of the second film.

Let's also hope that LEGO will make an effort to apply itself to offer sets whose content will be closer to what the film offers. Jurassic World is a worldwide success, it will be released in a few months on Blu-ray / DVD and LEGO no longer has any excuse to justify the approximations and the "inventions" present in some of the sets currently on the market.

All this will of course be possible if the sales figures of the sets currently available are convincing. Everyone will have an opinion on the success of the LEGO Jurassic World line based on the condition of the shelves of their favorite toy store, but no one other than LEGO is really in a position to reliably assess sales volume. real of these boxes.
