Here is an example of what gives the command that I have just placed on amazon.de for sets from The Hobbit range.

The prices charged are already much lower than those offered by LEGO on the LEGO Shop and we must also deduct the 20% discount offered by amazon.de until December 5 (i.e. tomorrow ...)

This discount is applied immediately before payment and the five sets available therefore cost me 215.61 € including postage instead of 285.45 € on the LEGO Shop.

You have a few hours left to take advantage of this 20% discount valid on the entire LEGO range.

 In the family Legomaniac, we are not idle and we prefer to do things ourselves:

When the father reproduces a board game marketed by Lansay to please his 4 year old daughter, the son creates his own Advent Calendar on the theme of super heroes.

The board game reproduced here takes exactly the principle of the version proposed by Lansay: Remove one by one the bricks from the wall without dropping Spider-Man. The LEGOmaniac version even has its own storage box. 

MiniLM for its part had already raged last year with a Alternative Star Wars Advent Calendar to the one offered by LEGO.

This time, it keeps the micro format and offers a daily scene featuring a super hero that you must discover. To follow daily on LEGOmaniac flickr gallery or on the family blog at this address.

Now that we've discovered the official visuals for the Series 9 minifigs and set our sights on some of them, the issue of supply remains to be resolved.

The distribution of these series of minifigs is rather chaotic in France. Will we have to be content, as with the previous series, of a few bags at the checkout at the supermarket or in some toy stores?

I got into the habit of ordering boxes of 60 minifigs that several of us shared depending on the content (so far three sets per box).

But the situation seems to be changing with this series 9: According to WhiteFang's review on Eurobricks, the box of 60 minifigs of the series 9 would indeed contain only two complete sets of 16 minifigs, which does not help our affairs.

Here is an indication of what was in the WhiteFang box provided by LEGO:

Obviously, as was the case for the previous series, the distribution may vary from one box to another, this count is not guaranteed.

Waiting, amazon.fr has already uploaded the box of 60 sachets pre-order at a price of 118 €.

Series 9 is still not listed at Peek and Poke.
