If anything comes out of Celebration VI when it comes to never before seen new stuff, it won't be on the LEGO booth ... sirstevesguide.com uploaded photos of the stand in question, and the least we can say is that it smells warm. We find old sets dating from early 2012, 2011, the Rancor Pit and nothing else ...

Some sets are the same as those presented in preliminary version during the New York Toy Fair 2012. Hopefully, LEGO will take advantage of this event by still unveiling a brand new set at tomorrow's panel titled "History of LEGO Sets"whose description says this:"The LEGO group has a rich history with the Star Wars brand. Throughout this panel you'll observe changes and chapters in the saga. Books and resources will be presented as well as examples of various kits sold by LEGO since the Star Wars license began."

You who follow Brick Heroes, you probably remember from the Captain America Brickfilm realized by ForrestFire Movies and which had earned me some remonstrances because of the violence of the thing.

In the same style but less gory, here is another technical gem proposed by the same director and which features Batman and Robin. It's very high end in terms of brickfilm, the dialogues are really successful, the animation is perfect and the result should make you smile at least.

Note that at ForrestFire Movies, a brickfilm The Avengers is in the works. I can not wait to see him...

IGN gives us an account of the interview with Ian Mc Darmid alias Palpatine / Sidious which took place today as part of Celebration VI.

And it was Palpatine himself who brought up the subject of vaporware most famous in history (since Duke Nukem Forever was released ...): The Star Wars TV series (see this article for a timeline of the facts).

I reassure you right away, no major revelation has taken place. Ian Mc Darmid just mentioned that if the series whose action takes place between Episodes III and IV ever sees the light of day, he would very much like to reprise his role as Chancellor Palpatine / Darth Sidious. He would take a dim view if another actor could play this character for him. 

Mc Darmid mentioned Hayden Christensen, stressing that his performance had not been judged at its fair value. He also added that he felt even more evil in Palpatine's costume than Sidious's, like a current politician would be.

In short, we haven't learned much about this TV series, and we are talking about the problems of financing the project, the exorbitant cost of special effects, etc, etc ...

This may be the opportunity to afford the set  9526 Palpatine's Arrest which is sold exclusively at Toys R Us at the LEGO public price, ie 89.99 €.

The merchant makes a promotional offer valid from August 20 to September 9, 2012: 10 € offered in internet voucher, from 40 € of purchase, in one go, of LEGO Star Wars products, which allows the cost of the set to be reduced a posteriori.

The bad news is that Toys R Us charges relatively high shipping costs (7.68 € in this case) and that the discount is suddenly not so interesting. Ordered alone, this set costs you € 97.67 postage included, compared to € 95.94 in the LEGO Shop (plus 89 VIP points).

The good news is that from August 25 to August 29, you can get delivery for 1 € (from 65 € of purchases and within the limit of 100 orders per day). What makes us an addition of 90.99 € with 10 € to spend on another purchase.

Despite everything, it's hard to find this set at a good price elsewhere now, its price reaches at best 109 € on amazon for example,...

If you are a fervent Toys R Us supporter, then this is the opportunity to pay for this set a little less, by taking advantage of this voucher later. The set is back in stock after being out of stock for a few days.

It was to be expected, and CVIBountyHunter just posted the image on Twitter: So there is another exclusive tin can set offered especially for Celebration VI.

This time it's the turn of Boba Fett and his mini Slave I after Darth Maul and his mini Speeder which was on offer for $ 40 at San Diego Comic Con 2012.

As for the previous box, this exclusive set is sold for $ 40 and its edition is limited to 1000 copies, of which 250 will be on sale each day.

Soon on eBay at $ 100 a box ...

Edit: already at $ 175 on eBay actually .... and below are the photos from JediNews.
