It took a team of 12 employees and 3000 hours of work to build this life-size version of Bag End that LEGO presents on its facebook page.

This achievement incorporates more than 2 million 1x1 bricks and is equipped with a fireplace with lighting and smoke.

To see more, visit the album released by lego.

Below is the video which details the design of this giant diorama.

An essential interlude to take stock of the contents of the 2012 LEGO Star Wars Advent calendar.

Let's avoid talking about the Gonk Droid and the now traditional weapon rack bringing together lightsabers and blasters of all kinds.

Blasters who cry out their desire to evolve towards something more similar to the weapons seen in the films of the saga. If minifigs evolve into something more detailed, their accessories will need to do the same.

We forget the green thing today too. No one will make me believe this is Panaka's Flash Speeder. Oh yes ?

So we have a Snowtrooper minifigure left and an attempt to portray a Naboo Royal Starship. It's okay, a little dull. The same with a few chrome parts, it was superb.

The Snowtrooper minifigure at least has the merit of being equipped with the new PacMan head available to all troopers.

The suspense is finally lifted on the content of the LEGO The Lone Ranger range which we did not know much about until now.

Brickset has obtained a scan of the pages of the new 2013 catalog and we finally discover this range which western fans are no doubt expecting trop beaucoup.

At first glance, this all looks very nice, with Battle Pack for setting up your own Union cavalry regiment, a stagecoach whose design I ask to see more closely, a village in the Wild West, a train , horses...

The actual arrival on the shelves is announced for May 2013 in Germany. Until then, we will have access to the official visuals on a white background that will allow us to get a definitive idea of ​​these sets.

I don't expect to be a real fan of the movie: Johnny Depp, again him, in his horny, painted guy roles is starting to tire me a bit. But I remain sensitive to the universe of the western which brings me back to my younger years.

So, a priori, it will be for minifigs, cowboys, Indians and northern soldiers.

The official rates that will be charged in Germany:

79106 Cavalry Builder Set 14.99 €
79107 Comanche Camp 29.99 €
79108 Stagecoach Escape 49.99 €
79109 Colby City Showdown 59.99 €
79110 Silver Mine Shootout 79.99 €
79111 Constitution Train Chase 99.99 €

And for those who are wondering: set 79109 does indeed seem to contain LEGO's interpretation of the Modular Western Town presented on Cuusoo and which is in the "Review"after getting 10.000 supporters.

I'm joking...

Everything has already been said about this umpteenth set vaguely inspired by the Battle of Hoth in the LEGO range. I say vaguely inspired, because it would take a little more than a Snowspeeder and a few minifigs to make it look like something. Although with all the sets on this theme accompanied by one or two AT-ATs, we start to have an interesting diorama.

I just take the opportunity to offer you the new visual of the box uploaded by GRogall and to talk about the two minifigs now presented as "Hard to find"delivered in this set.

On the one hand, we have a new version of Luke in pilot outfit, with two pockets on the pants. Hooray.

On the other, the really new minifig of this set, this good old General Carlist Rieekan, commander of the Echo base on Hoth and from the same planet as Leia: Alderaan (The one that explodes ...). Well, this guy is not a star of the saga either, but he deserved his minifigure.

This is not the minifig of the year, but he is one more interesting character in our Star Wars minifig collections and it is for him that I will buy this set which should be exclusive to certain brands or to the LEGO Shop.

A minifigure that we will not see again anytime soon in another set, plus a box with restricted marketing = Lots of regrets later for Star Wars fans who will have bypassed it.

If you want more close-ups, go to GRogall's Brickshlef gallery. Besides, if you want HD visuals of new things, put his favorite gallery and stop looking for them.

Because Sir Ian McKellen is a great actor and all of us Lord of the Rings fans or X-Men fans for that matter love this actor, this 30 second video fits here.

I don't see any other valid reason, nor do I need it.
