Still a Cuusoo project which has absolutely no chance of success but still deserves a look: LDiEgo presents a virtual (play) set based on one of the ships from the Star Wars universe that LEGO has never before product: The escort frigate Nebulon-B which first appears on screen in theEpisode V The Empire Strikes Back.

The concept of LDiEgo is inspired by what LEGO has already offered with, for example, the sets 6211 Imperial Star Destroyer, 10198 Tantive IV or even 9515 Malevolence: A playset with an exterior-looking ship overall faithful to the original model, minifigs to attract the collector and maximum playability for the youngest via various extractable modules and other moving parts.
All without harming the outer appearance of the vessel which can also be simply exposed.

The MOC is aesthetically really very successful, and the presence of a (mini) Millennium Falcon which instantly gives us an idea of ​​the size of this frigate finally convinces me that LEGO should really be looking at this ship which has all the legitimacy in the Star Wars universe (canonical and extended) to finish in ABS plastic.

To support the (lost but deserving) cause of LDiEgo, go to at this address.

LDiEgo also offers a project in the same spirit based on theinvisible hand to discover at this address.

We end the day (or we start it, it depends ...) with this MOC of Bryant Callahan alias MrVoltron : A very successful Swoop Bike, largely inspired by the different models that we meet in the Star Wars universe and which gives pride of place to a few pieces from the Hero Factory range.

This MOCeur is not in its first model, you will find other creations on the same theme very interesting and nicely photographed in his flickr gallery.

Regulars at Brick Heroes probably already know this artist whom I told you about several times for his digital creation work (Comic book covers, posters) based on superhero minifigs.

This time we go from the digital version to the plastic with this magnificent custom of Green Arrow based on the version of the character seen in the LEGO Batman 2 video game. 

On the left, the version modeled by mike napolitan inspired by the character of the game and on the right its minifig version in ABS plastic. I love...

By the way, if you don't know yet the Arrow TV series with an excellent Stephen Amell in the title role (Oliver Queen / Arrow) currently broadcast in the USA on the CW channel, throw yourself on it, it's very good entertainment based on superheroes.

Calm down, it's just a pre-order ...

The most impatient of you can already pre-order the set 76006 Iron Man Extremis Sea Port Battle, become "the battle of the port Extremis"in French at JouéClub for the modest sum of 26.99 €, which is a priori the public price of the set.

For 195 pieces and 3 minifigs including Iron Man and War Machine, that's fine with me.

Availability is announced on 24/05/2013.

Note that the JouéClub site is still the worst, and that it is almost impossible to order anything there at the moment with a nice error message when adding to the basket. ..

Two pieces of information to note today, and which have absolutely nothing to do with each other:

- The appearance of this LEGO Star Wars keychain in a bag in the colors of the board game 3866 Battle of Hoth released in 2012 (LEGO reference 6012306). Not the collector's item of the century, but a cool bag that will appeal to collectors.

- Announcement by Kevin Hinkle on the Community Team blog that the next exclusive set (UCS or not for that matter) will be unveiled OUTSIDE the USA. You will tell me that we don't care to know that it will be in another country around the world until we know what it is or when this official presentation will take place ... You are right.

But it does not prevent the Lego world 2013 will be held from February 14 to 17 in Copenhagen and that on this occasion LEGO could well pull us out of the hat one of the sets which are currently rumored: 10240 X-Wing? Ewok Village? The bets are open...
