The Clone Wars Season 5

Great translation effort provided by SoundtrackStudio23 on his YouTube channel with the first two episodes of season 5 of The Clone Wars subtitled in French.

You will find these two episodes below. I'm not sure the copyright owners allow YouTube to leave these videos online for very long, so if you like the show don't waste time watching them.

LEGO The Hobbit - 79003 An Unexpected Gathering

Edit: Photos replaced with the latest versions published by Just2good on its flickr gallery and which are finally viewable. I also removed the video.

We continue with this famous poster and a video posted by Just2good on YouTube with close-ups of the sets planned for this end of the year.

The suspense is finally lifted on these sets with many pictures of the famous poster also posted by Just2good on his flickr gallery.

We also discover the mention Special The Hobbit Trilogy Preview Set on the 79001 Escape from Mirkwood Spiders and 79004 Barrel Escape sets, which in my opinion means that these sets will not be released this year, but only next year.

You will find other photos of this same poster on the flickr gallery from Tormentalous.

LEGO Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out

The animated short LEGO Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out, already broadcast on Cartoon Network in the USA was also offered on the UK version of the channel this morning. We know that a broadcast will also take place in France on France as part of the LUDO program without having for the moment a precise date.

If you understand English well, and you have to master the language to grasp all the subtleties of the dialogue, you can watch the entire 22-minute short film on Dailymotion (at this address) where it was posted. But hurry, my little finger tells me that the rights holders will soon ask for the removal of this video.

Speederbike - With parts from 9496 Desert Skiff

This Speederbike inspired by the one seen in theEpisode VI Return of the Jedi and proposed by Brix, a Eurobricks forumer, is unquestionably very successful. But what makes the work of this MOCeur even more interesting is that the machine was designed using only parts from the set's inventory. 9496 Desert Skiff (213 pieces) released this summer.

Compromises were obviously made to remain within the framework of the challenge imposed by the MOCeur, but the result remains very convincing thanks to the creativity implemented. I have seen much worse Speederbike MOCs than this ...

Localized by The Brick Fan, this poster was obtained by a Reddit user in a Toys R Us store where it was simply given to her by a saleswoman.

We can distinguish the different sets that make up the first wave of the LEGO The Hobbit range with in order from top to bottom: 3920 LEGO Game The Hobbit, 79000 Mystery of the Ring, 79003 An Unexpected Gathering, 79002 Attack of the Wargs, 79010 Cave of the Orc King, 79001 Fleeing from the Mirkwood Spiders, 79004 Barrel Escape.

Note the red frame on both sets 79001 Fleeing from the Mirkwood Spiders and 79004 Barrel Escape which could announce a postponed official release or a temporary cancellation of these sets and would confirm what I told you a few days ago about the recutting of the cinematographic saga by Peter Jackson (see this article).
