mahjqa motorized Tumbler inventory

You loved it mahjqa video footage featuring motorized Tumbler sound ? You will (soon) be able to reproduce this machine which gives pride of place to LEGO Technic parts and PFS modules with the instructions that the MOCeur promises on his flickr page.

As a teasing, he publishes to make us wait a photo of the complete inventory of the machine, and announces that he should quickly make the assembly instructions available.

The bravest can now start to collect the necessary parts for this MOC using the visual above. The others, (like me) whose Technic inventory boils down to a few pieces lying around in a corner, will wait for a list of references to try the adventure on Bricklink ...

Edit: As Val0194 says in the comments, you can find the .lxf files of the Tumbler in camouflage version and of the Bat on the man's website (vayamenda.com) or directly on Rebrickable.

Batpod - _Tiler

The circle is complete. _Tile offers its version of the Batpod which also uses the two front wheels of its mini tumbler and which may leave some perplexed.

The use of two droid heads from the Star Wars range, repainted for the occasion, will seem great to some of you while others will remain skeptical about this choice.

Tiler confesses in the comments not to be a big fan of the machine, but he still made the effort to offer his interpretation, very successful after all.

For the rest, it's up to you to judge: Do these two droid heads really have their place on this machine and do they fulfill the mission entrusted to them, or does this choice seem inappropriate to you?

As the other would say:  "Roger Roger..."

Lego star wars 2013

It's off again for a few days of speculation before the list of Star Wars 2013 sets is officially revealed during Celebration VI (23 - 26 August 2012).

And it's on RebelScum forum that things take shape with burnsnet who will host a Star Wars panel at the convention with Duncan Jenkins and who has already seen the sets for the next wave. Everyone has their own speculations, and Burnsnet confirms that one of these three assumptions is a priori correct: Ewok Village, Yoda's Hut or A-Wing ...

In addition, the LEGO catalog intended for resellers and which allows them to position their orders for 2013 has just been released (the one with the images crossed out with a mention Preliminary & Confidential) and the usual leaks are long overdue. No one has dared to publish scans of this catalog yet, but I think it won't be long ...

Bossk's Wookie Farm by Praiter Yed

And it's very refreshing ... The presentation of this MOC is worth by itself that we linger. Praiter Yed presented his entry to the competition Eurobricks Astromech Workplace Contest whose voting sequence is also open like a page in the book LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia.

It's very creative, it's neatly done with beautiful photos coated in their descriptions and just for the originality of the thing, this MOCeur deserves in my eyes to win.

Take a look at the other pages presented by Praiter Yed on her flickr gallery, they are from the same barrel and it is a visual treat. If you master English, focus on the texts, you will see that Praiter Yed knows how to show a lot of humor ...

Millennium Falcon by CaptainInfinity

In recent times, Star Wars MOCs are becoming a little scarce, no doubt the fault of the arrival in force of the DC and Marvel Super Heroes as well as the Lord of the Rings range at LEGO.

We still find from time to time a few diehard MOCeurs to offer us nice creations, even if we have the impression of going around in circles with the remakes of remakes of the same ships or the same machines. Let us add to this that the Star Wars range seems to attract more collectors and speculators than the average and that the few usual MOCeurs have slowed down and we have no doubt the beginnings of an explanation ...

To compensate, I offer you this Millennium Falcon, creation of Captainfinity recently exhibited during the Brickfair 2012 event. As usual, we can always discuss the proportions or the size of the mandibles (subjects which often give rise to many debates which sometimes turn a little to the ridiculous ...) but above all I underline here the audacious intention to reproduce on a large scale an emblematic vessel of the saga that we have however already seen and reviewed in all sauces and in all sizes ...
