SDCC 2012 - LEGO Super Heroes DC & Marvel Exclusive Minifigs - Shazam & Venom

The big nonsense of the day is the confirmation about the Marvel exclusive minifigure that had been announced as Venom, and which was ultimately named in error.

It would actually be Black Spidey first seen in 1984 in the comic. Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars, according FBTB.

Venom would be good on the program as well, but the minifigure wouldn't be officially unveiled until later today when the Super Heroes lineup was unveiled for 2013.

It was a very bad Venom, it is still a bad Black Spidey. Take a good look at his torso, it even looks like he's sporting a woman seen from behind, shaking her arms.

What has been seen ...

Below, I just took a quick picture of Christo's Black Spidey for you.

8833 LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 8

Here are the first visuals of the 8 series of collectable minifigs. In short, it's done, we can move on ...

In all fairness, I've been collecting these minifigs since Series 1, and I've been feeling a bit weary and a lot less enthusiastic lately. It's endless, it looks pretty on a shelf (and again), and I'm starting to wonder if I should skip this 8th series.

Okay, come on, let's be crazy, one more or two and I'll quit ....

We're all very busy at the moment with the appearance of future LEGO sets in which we can spend our hard-earned money or the well-deserved legacy that some may have touched by then.

But it's not just Comic Con in life and its exclusive sets sold for the price of a washing machine by the lucky ones. we them...

So, to relax the atmosphere, here is a little video interlude with the review of the set 9496 Desert Skiff by artist.
Here is a nice set that we can currently afford for just under 23 € on amazon.es.

So give yourself 2 minutes and 42 seconds of relaxation before setting off again frantically demolishing the F5 key on your keyboard on your favorite sites, hoping to see a minifig or a new set that LEGO has hidden from us so far ...

SDCC 2012: Bilbo Baggins Collector

We continue with the very limited edition LEGO products distributed during this Comic Con in San Diego and here is the minifig of Bilbo Baggins, which is nothing exceptional in itself (it will be available in a set from the LEGO The range Hobbit), accompanied by the ComicCondor (The pun is excellent ...) and his little burlap bag that will become the most expensive potato bag in history in a few hours on eBay.

To get this cool set, visitors must use the map to navigate the show between the four different stands mentioned (Warner, Mondo, LEGO, Weta) and collect the different pieces of the minifig.

The photos are, as usual for this Comic Con, of FBTB.

LEGO The Hobbit - Bag End

And the first photos were posted by FBTB.
We discovered the official LEGO visual yesterday and these photos allow you to admire the interior of Bilbo Baggins' house a little closer.

Nothing to say, it's plush, well dressed, full of nice little details and the official price of $ 59.99 announced remains relatively reasonable given the fact that we are dealing with a licensed range.
Availability scheduled for December 1, 2012, two weeks before the official release of Peter Jackson's film.
