LEGO recalls Power Functions remote controls sold separately under the reference 8879, but also sometimes sold as a bundle with set 10194 (Emerald Night) and or engine 8882 (XL Power Functions LEGO Motor).

This remote control may cause a risk of burns if the batteries inside overheat. Of the 997 copies sold between April 2009 and May 2009, 4 cases of overheating of the batteries were reported. No cases of burns were observed.

We continue with some rumors (see all current rumors) regarding the new themes for 2013 with some information from the Brickset forum:

- Lego tmnt : 6 sets are on the program, including a titled "Baxter's Revenge" well endowed with minifigs. The 4 turtles will be entitled to their keychain version.

- Lego legends of chima : The characters will have animal heads (cats, lions, alligators, eagles, dogs) but with classic minifig bodies. This theme will replace the Ninjago range. Small vehicles will replace the tops, they are matched to their owner.

- Lego galaxy : The bad guys will be bugs equipped with matching vehicles. The person talking about it evokes a crossover between Alien Conquest and Space Police to define the look of this range.

- Lego modulars : The person giving this information evokes a cinema that could be a complement to the existing Modulars sets.

- Lego ninjago : Last wave with the Gold Ninja and the Golden Dragon. Lord Garmadon evolves into Garmatron and has a new headgear.

Sorry for the title ...

I constantly complain that the quality of the brickfilms or video reviews offered on YouTube leaves something to be desired, and I just realized that there is one director that I have never mentioned here: Marc Andre Caron. He posted a comment on one of the posts on this blog, and I figured this error needs to be fixed.

However, this gentleman whose work I had discovered thanks to the QuéLUG forum (Le LUG québécois), does very beautiful things like this very creative brickfilm entitled "How to make a monster"for example, and which humorously stages the minifigs of the Monster Fighters set 9466 The Crazy Scientist and His Monster.

His latest video is also interesting: It is visually very successful and allows to compare the minifigs of the set 850486 Rock Band with those of the different series of collectible minifigs from which they are inspired.

Do not hesitate to consult its site et his YouTube channel, there are other brickfilms to discover and in addition ... they seem to be good ...

You have not fallen for this set whose we definitely talk a lot (too much) lately? That's what you missed, summed up in 9 minutes and 40 seconds of stop-motion.

A crazy inventory, minifigs in spades, cool features, all that for € 139.99 (hmm, sorry, € 179.99).

At the end of the video, Artifex integrated one of its LED kits, and the result is not really convincing for my taste. Yet this haunted house would do well with interior lighting on one of the windows, just a ...

You just saved 40 € on the set 10228 Haunted Houses thanks to the generosity (or incompetence, it depends) of LEGO?
