Hobbiton: A long expected party by Legopard

It's Biblo Baggins' 111th birthday and all the Hobbits are preparing a big party for the occasion ...

Bag End is in the spotlight with this superb MOC, awarded at the SteineWahn 2012 event in Berlin and that its creator stages with great creativity.

The overview above only partially pays homage to the work that Legopard has done, and the one below gives you a taste of the level of detail on offer.

And the most surprising remains to be discovered on the MOCpages area of ​​MOCeur with many views of this 1.60 m long diorama which required nearly 3 months of work and which is designed with modularity allowing it to be easily transportable.

LEGO® Amazing Minifigure Ultimate Sticker Collection - DK Publishing

A Brickset user found this cover of the next collection of stickers published by DK Publishing which will be available soon and simply titled: LEGO® Amazing Minifigure Ultimate Sticker Collection.

Nothing too exciting, I hate these books full of stickers. If you have kids you know they stick it all over the place ... if you don't have kids I think you can imagine the thing ...

The only interesting thing here is the visual at the bottom right which seems to be that of a minifigure from the Legends of Chima theme (Circled in red by me).

If you like this type of work, this one is currently in preorder. on amazon at a rate of 10.14 € with availability scheduled for January 17, 2013.

Admiral Ackbar Custom Minifig by tstoeger

No less than 17 emails received from blog visitors (in English and French) following the publication on Eurobricks of the video presenting the new products 2013 from the LEGO Star Wars range. So I watch said video, and apart from Ackbar, the rest is obviously a takeover of existing products. Even the A-Wing is a Jarek MOC dating from 2008 (successful incidentally).

Doubt having assailed me while I was preparing a post on it, I looked for this very good Admiral Ackbar to find that it is therefore the custom version of tstoeger dating from 2005 (see his Brickshelf gallery) ...

Missed this time, these images are therefore not visuals of the 2013 range. Thank you all the same to all those who took the trouble to write to me to inform me of the existence of this video.
