It seems that French brands are gradually adopting the culture of the "free polybag" and even if the bags offered are not always very interesting, it's still good news and it's always better than a hypothetical 10% discount on inflated prices for the occasion.

After the FNAC, which recently offered the 30304 The Avengers Quinjet or 30272 A-Wing Starfighter polybags, it's the turn of Maxi Toys to offer a bag from € 15 of purchase in LEGO products until June 21.

Nothing exceptional in the list of polybags offered (30217 Duplo, 30256 Ice Bear Mech, 30275 Tie Advanced Prototype, 30293 Kai Drifter et 30312 Demolition Driller) but these are however recent polybags and practically unpublished in France except for the reference 30312 offered on the LEGO Shop last February.

This is a good start and an encouraging first step towards the generalization of offers of this type in our country, hoping in a second step to see one day arrive at our merchants a few polybags in high demand and already available in other countries and why not a few bags exclusively produced for France ...

Another LEGO accessory that will please all those who like to display their minifigs in style while fighting against dust: Here is a new version of the LEGO showcase already on the market which here benefits from two doors easily accessible on the front.

The integration of these two front doors obviously solves the problem encountered on previous models when several of them are stacked: It is then impossible to open the transparent front (except on the display case located on the top of the stack) , the opening button being located between the studs on the top of the display case ...

This new set can accommodate 16 minifigs and their accessories, a complete set of collectible minifigs, and can be wall mounted like previous models.

This new version was uploaded by a british sign at the hefty rate of £ 29.99 (approximately € 42 at the current British Pound exchange rate) with availability announced for the last week of June. Different models will probably arrive at our usual dealers at more reasonable prices in the coming weeks.

Update : The 16 minifig model is sold 34.95 € in the Nederlands. The model for 8 minifigs is sold for € 19.95. Available in red and black.

It's Sunday, and Sunday is the day I ask myself existential questions on subjects that are really crucial for the future of the world and our minifig collections: And here I am watching the video below. below which presents us all the tricks, which we will probably never manage to reproduce in real life, that it is possible to do with the new widgets Airjitzu from the Ninjago range (Retail price € 9.99).

It's very simple, the principle has existed for years: We have a handle, a notched shank, a flying wing and we send everything flying as high or as far as possible. Except that here, LEGO has planned to help us lose our minifigs in the neighbor's garden by offering a location in which we can install the character under a plastic bell.

So, I'm asking you the question, who among you is going to let your kid throw his favorite minifigs across the street with this thing only to see him come back crying because he can't find his favorite ninja anymore or worse, his Winter Soldier who wanted to do a flying wing tour? WHO ?

Ah, to stay in the Ninjago universe and because many of you have emailed me on this subject, you will find below the visuals of a rather nice (play) set which will be an exclusive to the LEGO Shop and probably from a brand like Toys R Us or La Grande Récré: 70732 The City of Stix.

No minifig (exclusive or not) at Micromania for any pre-order of the LEGO Jurassic World video game on PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360 or PC.

The brand will simply offer a DLC pack containing 6 characters (Owen Grady, Scott Mitchell, Hotdog Vendor, Karen Mitchell, Tourist Sam and Tourist Emma) and 2 vehicles (Jurassic Response Unit et Jurassic World Shuttle).

I remind you that Amazon offers on its side a special edition (only on PS3, PS4, Xbox One and Xbox 360) of the game accompanied by the minifig of Dr. Wu which is also present in the set 75919 Indominus Rex Breakout.

If you find any other pre-order bonuses available in France, please mention them in the comments.

If you've watched the latest trailer for the LEGO Dimensions video game carefully, you've probably noticed the presence of a character that all fans of the LEGO Lord of the Rings range wish they had in one of the sets released. these last years.

From there to conclude that Sauron will be entitled to a minifigure version in one of the packs available to expand the content of the game, it is undoubtedly going a little fast in the job, but after all why not?

This would be good news for the fans but also a nice snub from LEGO to all those who have been loyal to the LEGO Lord of the Rings range and who have waited in vain for this character ...

Wait and see ...
