LEGO Iron Man 3 - Mark I

I can't resist the urge to offer you here the rest of the 3D renderings carried out by HJ Media Studio (See his flickr gallery) of the various Iron Man armors.

It is undoubtedly a little to send a subliminal message to LEGO which could offer us some variations to the versions already produced and also for the pleasure of discovering all these armors of which, for some of them, I did not even suspect the existence...

Here is the Mark I version of Tony Stark's armor, built with "the means at hand" and four other variants still as successful.

Mini JEK-14 Stealth Starfighter

I was telling you a few weeks ago about the operation organized by Toys R Us (USA) allowing visitors to assemble a mini version of the JEK-14 Stealth Starfighter.

Thanks to LegoDad42 who scanned them and posted them on flickr, here are the instructions provided by TRU allowing the assembly of this mini-ship with the parts of your stock possibly completed by a ride to the Pick-a-Brick wall of your LEGO Store or an order on Bricklink.

To download in pdf format by clicking on the image above or on the link below: TRU Mini Model Jek-14 Stealth Fighter (4 MB).

For his part, Slayerdread has posted the instructions online to assemble the Holocron Droid seen in The Yoda Chronicles and offered by the American LEGO Stores. You can download them in pdf format here: LEGO Star Wars Holocron Droid.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes

Here is the last (short) trailer for the game expected for October 2013: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.

Nothing new under the sun. Ah yes, a shadow at the end of the trailer, probably that of Galactus who should play the villains in the game ....

10237 The Tower of Orthanc

The set which promises to be the must-have box of the year for fans of the Lord of the Rings saga is online on the Lego shop with an availability date announced on July 1, 2013 and a price which symbolically remains below the € 200 mark.

It's expensive, but it's still the same "correct"for a set of this stature with over 2300 pieces, great minifigs and a potential combination of maximum exposure / playability rarely achieved in recent years at LEGO.

My wallet is screaming its pain at the moment between the Star Wars novelties, the sets from the Super Heroes range and this big box ...

Note that even the so-called sets "exclusive"end sooner or later at amazon at attractive prices.

This box should logically arrive at Amazon at the end of 2013. We must be vigilant and not miss a great offer which should be around 159/169 €.

To be continued on Pricevortex.com where I created the set sheet while waiting for it to be put online by my favorite merchant.
