Another batch of images from the LEGO Lord of the Rings video game announced for October 2012, including msxbox-world.com et gamesvideo24.com who publish unpublished visuals that I let you enjoy by visiting their respective pages.

Remember that just because a character appears in a LEGO video game in a particular form doesn't mean that we will necessarily see them in a future set. Nothing is guaranteed, promised or announced.

Two new packs of minifigs have just been unveiled: A pack with the reference 850486 Rock Band (Available for sale now on Bricklink for a little less than 25 euros) including 3 minifigs as well as the parts constituting the instruments (62 parts in all). We thus find the rapper of the series 3 of minifigs to collect with here a cap and a microphone, the Punk Rocker of the series 4 with a green hair and the Rock Girl from the series 7 with black hair and constume in black and white .

The other set (58 pieces) currently sold at gold price on eBay is directly inspired by the Monster Fighters range with the witch on her broom from series 2, a spider, the zombie from series 1 with a brown suit, his suitcase and his walkie talkie, as well as the fluorescent ghost with his chain. The pieces provided allow you to build a tomb adorned with a bat with a snake and some greenery.

No precise information on the availability and distribution method of these sets, but we can assume that they can be found quickly on the LEGO Shop as is the case for the set 850449 which is sold 12.99 € with similar packaging and which also recycles different minifigs from the collectible series by grouping them together on the same theme.

This is not the first MOC of the flying machine seen in The Dark Knight Rises aka The Bat, and certainly not the last, but BaraSH offers a very clean realization, all in lightness with among others the use very about minifig bases from the collectable series.

It is nicely photographed and you will find many other views on the topic dedicated to this MOC at Eurobricks.

The greedy dragon with the breastplate covered with gold and precious stone makes an appearance with this MOC of Fat Tony 1138 while waiting to see what LEGO plans to offer us in its official range about this critter that will be at the center of the trilogy The Hobbit directed by Peter Jackson and the first part of which will be released in December 2012.

Do not get carried away immediately by viewing the images of this MOC in the MOCeur flickr gallery, the pile of gold is mainly made up of a sheet of gilded paper which dresses the whole and which was then covered with parts to create the illusion of a pile of jewelry that the hobbits would like to recover. It's ingenious and the illusion is perfect.

The dragon is well made and I would be tempted to give a special mention to the base of the MOC which is superbly designed. To see more it's in the flickr gallery by Fat Tony 1138 whether it's happening or on its MOCpages space.

Today's buzz comes from Brickset writes that in June 2012 LEGO registered two new trademarks: Legends of Chima et Speedorz.

All that was needed was for speculation on possible future ranges to be launched with great fanfare on Eurobricks and others ... New ranges? New board games? These trade names fuel all fantasies and the discussion sometimes takes a little ridiculous turn ...

It should be noted that many brands have registered trade names in buckets over the years, names which are not, however, all of them to be used on a large scale or on flagship product ranges. Some are filed in advance so as not to be I doublé by a competitor who would have heard of projects in progress, others are for one-off commercial operations, etc.

Whatever you read about it these days, remember that these are only extrapolations from very imaginative AFOLs, and that there is no confirmation at this time that these two terms will relate to future ranges of the maker. We will have to wait for LEGO to reveal to us what these names are really linked to to find out more ...

And frankly, Speedorz is a bit ridiculous as a name for the range ... No?

"Tell dad, can you buy me a Speedorz?"
