lego eurobricks nimportnawak

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?"

The Official LEGO® YouTube Channel

The regulars of the YouTube platform already knew the LEGOClubTV channel which distilled from time to time other brickfilms, advertisements and various and varied trailers.

The manufacturer has just launched an official channel a little more attractive, crammed with cool videos to the glory of the minifig, the brick and the licenses in vogue. You will also find many brickfilms made by fans there, some of which are of professional quality. An address to bookmark so as not to miss anything LEGO news on YouTube.

Superman & Shazam vs Bizarro

You probably already know, LEGO has just launched his official channel on YouTube which replaces the old LEGOClubTV channel. For the occasion, here is a very well realized brickfilm which features Superman associated with Shazam who both fight against Bizarro in a City setting where you will undoubtedly recognize the sets used to reconstitute Metropolis.

For those who do not yet know, I think there should not be very many, however, the minifigs of Shazam and Bizarro are those distributed during the Comic Con de Sans Diego in July 2012.

10227 UCS B-Wing Review by Cavegod

I hadn't seen that one coming ... Brickset tells us that Cavegod, MOCeur known to most AFOLs who frequent English forums, has "successful"to dig up a set 10227 UCS B-Wing yet announced for October 2012 (at the official price of 209.99 €) and that he therefore proposes the review ultra-exclusive-well-in-advance in the pdf document that you can download at this address.

If you don't want to read everything, I will sum it up in a few words: This set is excellent despite its few flaws but it is a little too expensive for the taste of the author of the review. Consensual opinion if any ...

For the rest, you will understand that LEGO marketing has done its job well by ensuring a review carried out by an experienced MOCeur, specialist in UCS type constructions.
