LEGO Star Wars 2013: Pong Krell & Clone Z-95 Starfighter?

Okay, let's go with caution, so as not to be the one conveying unfounded false rumors just to get the job done: A guy on Eurobricks (with the nickname Hulk_Smash), who would have seen with his own eyes the 2013 retailer catalog of the LEGO range at his favorite retailer, confirms that the A Wing will be there and that he was able to see two other sets, one of which contained a Four-armed Jedi armed with double-bladed lightsabers with what appeared to him to be a new version of the ARC-170 Starfighter, and a set containing a Walker-type device (AT-RT?), a Commando Droid and a Yoda in the Clone Wars version.

We therefore logically deduce that it could be Pong krell, seen in particular in episode 7 of season 4 of The Clone Wars "Darkness on Umbara", and that the machine which accompanies it would not be an ARC-170, but a Clone Z-95 Starfighter.

If this is confirmed, it is rather good news: A new minifigure and a new ship, both never before seen in the Star Wars range. 

That's all for now, you can resume an almost normal activity or go back to swimming.

new movie marvel dc

Marvel just announced that the Avengers sequel will hit theaters on May 1, 2015.

This is therefore the opportunity to take stock of the release schedule in the months and years to come, just to confirm that the DC & Marvel super heroes will dominate our cinema screens and our Blu-ray players at a rapid pace. supported.

Obviously the list above is a summary of what I could find (with big reservations on The Black Panther) and does not commit anyone, not even me ...

For the rest, between the films in pre-production, the rumors, the predictions of the best mediums and the desires of each other, we should also see a few films released from the list below:

Green Lantern 2, Wonder Woman, Batman (Reboot), Justice League, The Flash, Aquaman, Suicide Squad, The Inhumans, Doctor Strange, Teen Titans, Silver Surfer, Fantastic Four (Reboot), Deadpool, Daredevil (Reboot), Luke Cage , Iron Fist, Runaways ...

Lego city undercover

Revealed in June 2012, and scheduled for Nintendo 3DS and Wii-U in fall 2012, the game Lego city undercover, a kind of GTA for children developed by TT Games, is talking about him again today: I received several emails telling me that fresh images had just been released and that they revealed vehicles that will be present in the next sets from the LEGO range (City and Friends in particular). In order to answer all those who kindly wrote to me, I am putting some very real information here:

These images are not recent, neither exclusive, neither leaked nor stolen, they were already in the game's promo kit in June 2012, and they have been around the web in all directions since E3 (especially at nintendo-master.com early June).

No LEGO source confirms that the machines in the game will be reproduced in plastic form. We already know that LEGO does not convert all of the content of its video games (minifigs, machines, etc.) developed by TT Games into sets. Star Wars fans in particular know this well ...

We can however imagine that the game, if it meets the hoped-for success and nothing is less certain, will be supported by a range of physical products featuring the main characters and their vehicles. But there are too many parameters to take into account to say today that this will be the case.

In the meantime, I would like to thank all those who took the trouble to write to me, and here are again these images that we (re) talk about today:

LEGO The Lord of the Rings Gamescom screens

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.

New Collectable Minifigure Sets - Rock Band & Monsters

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.
