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.

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.

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.

While everyone had already buried the 10188 Death Star set and prices were starting to skyrocket on some classified ad sites, LEGO has just put a stop to the rumors by adding a discreet mention in the product sheet on the LEGO Shop US: " We are currently making more, so please check back soon for availability".

This message is clear: LEGO is relaunching a production wave for this box which therefore retains its status as an exclusive set with the longest lifespan until proven otherwise, with for the moment 7 years of presence in the LEGO catalog.

The soap opera continues ...

LEGO was kind enough to put online the panel dedicated to the world of Marvel super heroes at LEGO which took place during the San Diego Comic Con in the presence of designer Marcos Bessa.

If you have 45 minutes in front of you, take the shade and relive this very interesting panel as if you were there.
