The Yoda Chronicles on Cartoon Network

It is confirmed, there will be much more than some videos and other posters uninteresting that bloom every week on the official website of the LEGO Star Wars range:

The Yoda Chronicles arrives on Cartoon Network (In the US for now) in the form of three special episodes which will be broadcast soon, probably in a 22-minute format as was the case for The Padawan Menace and The Empire Strikes Out.

Here is finally enough to create a background for future sets and other books based on this mini-saga during which Yoda accompanied by some Padawans will have to fight against Darth Sidious and his new destructive weapon ...

The pitch in English:
"... LEGO Star Wars returns in epic style with THE YODA CHRONICLES, a thrilling, funny and action-packed new LEGO Star Wars story told in three animated TV specials! Set in the “Prequel” Star Wars timeline, THE YODA CHRONICLES stars the one and only Yoda — the Jedi Master who has seen it all, done it all, and taught generations of Jedi Knights — in an all-new adventure. With the help of a fresh class of Padawans, Yoda leads the Jedi in a desperate fight to stop Darth Sidious and his minions from creating a new super-weapon that could crush the Republic and win the war for the forces of Evil ...."

Today it's the turn of the sets 75018 Jek-14 Stealth Starfighter et 75019 AT-TE to make their appearance on his flickr gallery, unfortunately in the form of thumbnails which do not tell us much.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes - 2013 Iron Man

It's crazy how people have trouble with the truth: Obviously the minifigure above is not a simple "leak" as I have read or heard it elsewhere ... It should also stop putting the word "leak" on anything and everything ...

This is a 2013 range minifigure stolen by someone who sells it at a high price on eBay. Point.

That being said, here we are with a new (and magnificent) version of Iron Man scheduled for 2013. Difficult to say for the moment in which set we will find this armor, which we also see in the trailer of movie.

Lego micro square

Here's how to go from the joy of seeing a series of micro-scale construction videos arrive on YouTube to the despair of realizing that these videos are appallingly null ...

The idea was nevertheless excellent: A web-series devoted to the micro format and animated by Master Builders who were to deliver tons of professional stuff to us, at least according to the pitch of the thing:

"... Welcome to MICRO SQUARE, the LEGO® brick-built web series that's all about tips, tricks and building secrets from the LEGO® master builders, all in micro-scale! ..."

In the end, episodes of barely one minute in which the first 20 seconds are squatted by the credits ... and the Master Builders in question, poor animators, who play Mac Lesguy on us. It feels like on M6 or GameOne ...

You are going to tell me: But it's for children !!! So what !!! We can also not take them for leftovers and teach them some cool techniques for children !!!

Come on, I put the last "episode" to date below, just to furnish and I invite you to go to LEGO YouTube channel to view previous episodes.
