A bit odd question, I'll grant you that.

And yet, this is the content of the set LEGO Ninjago 9444 Cole's Tread Assault released in 2012 which served as a starting point for Bomberman to design his Tumbler and Batpod.

Anxious to limit the final cost price of his Tumbler, Bomberman therefore invested in two boxes of set 9444 containing Cole's buggy, which allowed him to have a large batch of useful parts available with in particular 8 wheels including 6 are essential to the design of a Tumbler that respects itself.

The end result is astonishing: This 356 piece Tumbler really has a "pretty face" and remains extremely consistent with the proportions of the reference model used, which is not always the case among the many Tumbler MOCs offered so far. .

And since he had a few pieces left, Bomberman took the opportunity to complete Batman's road paraphernalia with the Batpod below.

To see more about these two realizations that deserve your full attention, visit the dedicated topic of the Brickpirate forum where you can enjoy other photos from different angles and you can compare Bomberman's work with the reference images of the Tumbler and the Batpod. You will see, it's bluffing ...

This is from the forum of swebrick.se What does the info come to us? One of the members of this Swedish AFOL community claims to have had access to the retailer catalog for the second half of 2013 and provides some information on upcoming novelties in the LEGO Star Wars range.

As usual, this information is not verified and care should be taken.

The following would therefore be planned:

Une nouvelle Jabba's Sail Barge accompanied by 5 or six minifigs, the design of which would not a priori be better than that of the barge of the 6210 set released in 2006.

Un AT-TE relatively similar to the one we already know with the 7675 set released in 2008, accompanied by 5 or 6 minifigs

Un Republic Gunship also very close to the versions we already know with sets 7163 (released in 2002) and 7676 (released in 2008). It would be accompanied by 5 or 6 minifigs.

I have received numerous emails asking me what are these four digit codes printed on the inside of the windows of the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar for.

Here is the explanation:
Each day, you will therefore find a different four-digit code on the inside flap of the box you have just opened. There is nothing to gain, I reassure you right away.
With this code, go at this address and click on the number corresponding to the box you just opened.
Enter the code of the day and you will be entitled to a virtual animation of the contents of the box.

That's all.
