So Ouest - Shopping Center

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.

La Grande Recre is also listed in this shopping center, which will offer around 1 stores, 15000 Leclerc hypermarket of 6 m², 8 restaurants, a Pathé cinema with 1750 screens and a parking lot with XNUMX spaces. Planned opening of the center for October 18, 2012.

Un article in the newspaper Le Parisien dated 22/05/2012 already mentioned the LEGO brand in the list of brands that will be present on the site: "... Zara, Pull & Bear and Massimo Dutti. Or for Lacoste, the men's brand Jules, the shoemaker Jonak, the Nature & Découvertes brand, the chocolatier Jeff de Bruges and even the famous toy brand LEGO ..."

We also find a job offer for a Sales Consultant position that would be employed by the "Third largest toy manufacturer in the world"... The offer insists on the term"costs"besides ...

X-Wing Gundam by MOODSWIM

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.

To see more, visit MOODSWIM's flickr gallery.
