LEGO Star Wars 9493 X-Wing Starfighter ™

To be completely honest with you, I don't spend my life on the LEGO Shop and I would have a hard time telling you when the exact increase in the retail price of the set took place. 9493 X-Wing Starfighter which passes without warning from 59.99 € (its starting public price when it was launched in 2012 was 74.99 €) to 69.99 €.

This is not the only set to undergo a sudden and discreet increase at LEGO, the sets 1088 Death Star, 10225 R2-D2 or even 10937 Arkham Asylum Breakout had also seen their price increase significantly at the beginning of the year (See this article).

You will tell me that today there are many other ways than the LEGO Shop to get our favorite sets at good prices and you will be right.

Bad timing yet again, as LEGO invades New York with its giant X-Wing and secures maximum visibility on all social media in the universe by loudly proclaiming that Times Square X-Wing is the replica exact scale 1:42 of that of set 9493.

All those who have finally given in to the temptation to afford the miniature version of this ship will have to pay an additional € 10. It's too bad. Unless...

The LEGO Movie You may remember the contest that LEGO launched in March on its Rebrick site which will allow the winner to see their brickfilm appear in the upcoming The LEGO Movie.

This film, co-directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, with the voices of Morgan Freeman, Will Ferrell, Liam Neeson and Will Arnett, is announced for February 2014 (See this article).

The announcement of the big winner of this contest took place yesterday, and it went a little unnoticed in the midst of all the buzz generated by the arrival of the giant X-Wing (again him ...) in Times Square.

Bad timing but great victory for the little guys from brotherhoodworkshop who regularly treat us to high-end brickfilms that I do not fail to offer you on lordofthebrick.com.

As stated in the contest rules, they win the chance to see their brickfilm featured in The LEGO Movie, a trip to visit the Warner Bros Studios in Los Angeles, a meeting with the directors of the film and the full range of future products. derivatives.

You can view the other two contest entries that finish on the podium on the Rebrick site.

Come on, I'll waste you another 51 seconds of your time with the time lapse (The time-lapse video if you prefer) of the assembly of the giant X-Wing which at least allows us to get a closer look at the metal frame used to solidify the whole.

And it's a hell of a frame! With LEGO around.
