A very small clue about the next official store which should open in Paris: The directory of shops in the center So West Levallois reference a LEGO sheet, currently incomplete, which could indicate that the manufacturer has chosen this new shopping center well for its Paris location.

I already know the purists are going to hate me, but this MOODSWIM MOC is inventive enough to deserve a wink here.

For those who do not know the universe of Mobile Suit Gundam, it's a phenomenon dating from the 80s, still popular today, which comes to us from Japan and which features mega-robots through countless cartoons, video games and derivative products.

MOODSWIM brings together here the two most lucrative universes in their respective cultures with a surprising but visually very successful crossover: Star Wars for the dressing of the robot in the colors of the X-Wing and the 4 wings mounted on the back of the robot, and Mobile Suit Gundam for the design of the Mecha which one assimilates at first glance to this license marketed by the Japanese giant Namco Bandai.
