LEGO ends its Comic Con with a strange announcement to say the least: A new theme, a priori intended for the youngest, and obviously based on a program that will be broadcast on the Cartoon Network channel in 2014: Mixels.

Three characters are presented: Volectro from the Electroids family (41508), Flain who comes from the Infernites (41500) and Seismo, member of the Cragsters (41504).

Did you not understand what you just read? It does not matter, by rereading it, I notice that I either ...

In the meantime, the teaser of this range is online on the lego site :

FBTB has uploaded a photo gallery of the 79013 The Lake Town Chase set officially presented at Comic Con.

If we have already been able to take a closer look at this set, here are some close-ups on the minifigs of Thorin, Bard, du Master of Lake Town, the guard and Bilbo with their alternate faces.

The other photos published by FBTB can be found at this address.

The title is misleading, but here's a piece of info that should please fans of the LEGO The Hobbit line, and disappoint anyone who has hitherto tried to put together all of the minifigs in the line:

A LEGO designer, in this case Mark Stafford, confirms that the minifig of Azog will be present in an upcoming set, but in a different color from the one distributed to a hundred copies at Comic Con.

He is a forumer by Eurobricks, SandMirror38, who posted an email received from the designer in question after asking him about Azog's upcoming presence in a set:

"... Hi, to answer your question I will say Yes, the Azog minifigure seen as an 'exclusive' at SDCC will come to a set in The Hobbit, although he will be slightly different..as he is called 'The Pale Orc 'him in white would look nicer wouldn't it? ..."

We can therefore deduce that the next version of Azog will be based on the same mold but that it will be white unlike the exclusive minifigure which is Tan.

This is good news, even if it seemed obvious that this important character of the saga, played on the screen by Manu Bennett alias Crixus (Spartacus) or Slade Wilson (Arrow), would sooner or later join the LEGO The inventory. Hobbit.

This info should not have a major impact on the price at which the exclusive minifig is traded on eBay (Click here to see current offers and auctions) although its exclusivity will obviously motivate compulsive collectors while the most reasonable fans will wisely wait for the release of the white version.

Edit of 27/07 : The designer in question denied having sent this message ... info or intox?

seen on flickr, these photos 9 of 14 of the 16 series 11 minifigs to come. The opportunity to get a final opinion on these minifigs and start tracking down the bag containing the coveted minifig or the box of 60 so as not to get too tired ...

As far as I'm concerned, it's without me. I can't run all the hares at once ...

For latecomers, the box of 60 sachets of the 9 series is available in stock at Amazon at 99.90 € and the box of 60 sachets of the 10 series is also available but a little more expensive: 112.43 €. (Click here).

It's confirmed, the DC super heroes will be in the cast of the next minfig-based film: The LEGO Movie.
