The and 10240 Red Five X-Wing Starfighter is a real success, but it also has some minor flaws. 

And everyone who has assembled this X-Wing has found that the wings have an annoying tendency to sag slightly under their own weight. This sagging is also visible on the official visuals of the set (bottom visual on the photo below).

As a good perfectionist that he is, Phil therefore found a workaround to this problem by stretching the spring of the 731c06 shock absorber (Light Bluish Gray Technic, Shock Absorber 6.5L, Complete Assembly - Soft Spring) delivered in quadruplicate in this set.

The result is clear: The wings are well placed between them and remain horizontal when folded (top visual on the photo below). Thanks to Phil for this simple and economical solution.

The DIY minute is now over, you can go back to your favorite activities.

It is an understatement to say that the TV series derived from the Avengers saga is eagerly awaited.

Agents of SHIELD will see Agent Phil Coulson played by Clark Gregg return from the (almost) dead for a TV version broadcast in the USA on ABC. If the trailer below is to be believed, the series is taking over from The Avengers, although it has been said time and time again that none of the superheroes on the team led by SHIELD boss Nick Fury do. will be present in the series.

We should therefore be entitled to a slew of new super-villains with diverse and varied powers, hunted down by Coulson and his agents. An appearance of Agent Maria Hill would also not be a refusal.

After the excellent Arrow series whose season 1 is about to end, Agents of SHIELD looks promising, at least on paper. It remains to be hoped that the series will retain the "comic" side of the universe from which it is inspired and not become a cop show Moreover.

If the series has good audiences, goes to the end of its first season and exports well, only then can we hope that LEGO deigns to offer us a set or two Marvel: Agents of SHIELD

It would not be surprising, LEGO has understood for a long time that the market for products derived from cartoons, video games, and why not TV series, is a bottomless pit.

This would be a once in a lifetime chance to get a Coulson minifigure, and let's be crazy about Agent Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) which would delight a lot of fans, including me.

While waiting to see if Disney intends to resuscitate us in 2015 some characters from the Star Wars saga, Darth Maul remains the one who made an unexpected and surprising comeback after being cut in two in theEpisode I The Phantom Menace.

It is equipped with mechanical legs and quite pissed off that he returned from the dead during season 4 of the late (or almost) animated series The Clone Wars.

Moodswim presents us his version of this popular character, who became half Zabrak, half machine, with this creation that you can discover in more detail on his flickr gallery.

I know you are not all lovers of the ladder "created"by Moodswim for his figurines, but some of his creations are nevertheless the fruit of a lot of creativity and ingenuity, in particular on the choice of the parts used.

A few sizes below, LEGO offers us this year a (successful) minifig of the Robotic Maul in the set 75022 Mandalorian Speeder.

Two and a half years of work, 120.000 bricks, 112 kg of LEGO, dimensions of 2.40 x 1.40 x 2.05 m, here is yet another extraordinary creation which should amaze visitors at future conventions where it will be exhibited. 

Here I particularly appreciate the ability of MOCeur to cultivate a certain sense of detail despite the extraordinary dimensions of this MOC / Diorama.

Fans of the Lord of the Ring saga will immediately recognize Minas Tirith, the gigantic capital of Gondor.

Rather than burying yourself in superlatives, I suggest you go and admire it all in the dedicated album of Chaiduro's flickr gallery.
