Well, I will spare you here the complete list of 2013 sets referenced at a German dealer, there is no image, it does not bring much concrete ...

As usual, we will avoid getting carried away with the prices charged at this type of merchant, they are not necessarily representative of the prices that we will find later in our shops. discounters favorites ... Click on the name of the range to access the corresponding catalog page at spielwaren-werst.de.

On the other hand, in addition to the new numbering, we learn in bulk that:

Recon Scout Ship by Talebuilder K-Wing by Denis & Valentin

Because after all the readers of the blog are sometimes also MOCeurs, and they send me by email some of their creations, I give you here a small recap of what I received of interest lately.

First of all Talebuilder and his superb Recon Scout Ship accompanied by his speeder (click on the first photo above). You will see more on his flickr gallery and this MOC is also a Cuusoo project. It's clean, well done and it deserves a look.

Another good surprise, I received by email this MOC of K-Wing (second photo) proposed by Denis and his son Valentin. The MOCs of this ship are not legion and I will see with them to get photos on neutral background and present it to you in more detail here.

Jim sent me his Republic Gunship MOC (third photo). It's plush, it exudes solidity and it's teeming with details. You can see more on its MOCpages space.

Yann alias Marlou sent me one of his creations (fourth photo), a nice mini-speeder. He regularly presents his photos and his work on his Tumblr accessible here.

I also received some MOCs on the Super Heroes theme, I will do the same thing soon on Brick Heroes.

LEGOland FLorida - Miniland Star Wars

Let's take advantage of this beautiful weekend without preliminary photos or rumors to talk about what we do not know in France: The LEGOland parks ...

Two news on the program, which probably do not interest many people here, but as it is LEGO news, I do talk about it briefly:

The opening on September 6, 2012 of a Star Wars miniland in the LEGOland park located in Florida. 2000 models including a Millennium Falcon of more than 19.000 pieces are presented in 7 spaces reproducing scenes from the six films of the saga but also from the animated series The Clone Wars. (see the press release)

If you want to see what a Star Wars miniland looks like here are a few pages dedicated to the different spaces of Billund's:

Star Wars MiniLand - LEGOLAND Billund - Episode I The Phantom Menace - Naboo
Star Wars MiniLand - LEGOLAND Billund - Episode II Attack of the Clones - Geonosis
Star Wars MiniLand - LEGOLAND Billund - Episode III Revenge of the Sith - Kashyyk
Star Wars MiniLand - LEGOLAND Billund - Episode IV A New Hope - Tatooine
Star Wars MiniLand - LEGOLAND Billund - Episode V The Empire Strikes Back - Hoth
Star Wars MiniLand - LEGOLAND Billund - Episode VI Return Of The Jedi - Endor
Star Wars MiniLand - LEGOLAND Billund - The Clone Wars - Christophsis

Also in the news, the official opening today September 15, 2012 of the sixth park LEGOland located this time in Malaise

No LEGOland park in France, no current project to my knowledge. It remains to be hoped that with the brand's recent interest in our country through the upcoming opening of several official stores, LEGO may one day consider offering us this type of amusement park. After all, Disney has come, why not LEGO ...

LEGO Star Wars Minifigs by Studio68fr

Regularly, I see the most recent photos of these Star Wars minifigs pass on flickr and each time I tell myself that what this obviously gifted AFOL does in photography is quite remarkable.

He meticulously immortalizes each of the minifigs in his collection and catalogs all of this in a flickr album. Each new photo is one more element that grows larger this giant poster that Vincent "Studio68fr"proposes in an updated version in April 2012. New thumbnails having been added since that date, I have no doubt that this poster will be completed soon.

Take a walk on his flickr gallery and enjoy yourself with this giant poster. If you're like me, you'll spend a few long minutes scrolling through the minifigs in question ...

Lego lone ranger

The information comes to us fromEurobricks or a member announces the release of a Western range based on the film Lone Ranger which is scheduled for release in France in August 2013. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter are in the cast of this film produced by Walt Disney Pictures.

If we are to believe the information posted by this apparently very well-informed forumer (He has already communicated several information on other ranges which have proved to be correct), the release of the licensed sets of this range is scheduled for April 2013 with 6 sets, including 1 large, 3 medium and 2 smaller.

We will have to wait a little longer to have confirmation of the existence of this range, but Western fans must no doubt already be delighted to find some cowboys mounted on the new horses ...
