The BatRod Minifig Version by _Tiler

You already know if you follow this blog, I am an absolute fan of the work of _Tile. The advantage with him is that you are always pleasantly surprised and never disappointed by his creations.

After his mini BatRod, it adapts a version that can accommodate a minifig (no I would not say minifig-scale, in order not to fuel the debate ...) and the machine as the photo are quite simply exceptional. The few touches of chrome are welcome, the reflections are magnificent and suddenly I want to emphasize an important point: The best MOCs will have a dirty head if the visible parts that compose it are dirty or too scratched, think about it before take your photos ...

We discover more about video games every day Lego batman 2 which is due out at the end of June.

The dedicated space on the LEGO site has been updated with new captures of the versions Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS et PS Vita.

We also discover on Eurobricks 4 new characters from the game with in the order of the image above Flash, Aquaman, Sinestro & Cyborg. Obviously, Flash would make a superb minifig that I would add to my collection ... Sinestro is obviously successful and LEGO would have to decide to release a set with Green Lantern in which it would fit ...

9498 Saesee Tiin's Starfighter

A first review of this set 9498 Saesee Tiin's Jedi Starfighter is offered by aayla-secura on Eurobricks and the result is mixed: This set was bought by the forumer in question in an Austrian Toys R Us store for the modest sum of 39.99 €, which is really very expensive for a set with only 255 pieces and 3 minifigs.

The disappointment is once again in order with stickers intended to dress parts that could have been screen-printed, There are flickr-fire missiles everywhere, and the cockpit is detachable to form a mini escape pod of which one wonders what it is. is used on this type of vessel.

In short, it is not the business of the century especially at this price and for yet another Jedi Starfighter, but the minifigs are nice and two of them are new (R3-D5 and Even Piell).

9469 Gandalf Arrives

And not just any ... Well, this might not be the best set in the LEGO Lord of the Rings line, but if you want Gandalf The Gray, you have no choice. After all, € 15 for 2 minifigs, a horse and 83 coins is okay considering the rampant inflation of the licensed ranges.

The chariot will not go down in the annals, but it will serve to re-enact the scene in which Gandalf crosses The Shire (The Shire) to visit his friend Bilbo Baggins who is celebrating his birthday. Along the way, he meets Frodo and the great adventure begins ...

For once, I who am generally doubtful about the quality of the interpretation of vegetation by LEGO, a tree would have been welcome in this set ... About twenty additional pieces that would have allowed to have a little more context suitable for the movie scene.

 4529 Iron Man, 4530 Hulk & 4597 Captain America

I know most of you are not fans of these Action Figures, even those of the super heroes we all adore.

But I also know that many Brick Heroes readers come to visit me from forums dedicated to the manufacturer's Bionicle / Hero Factory / Ultrabuild line. 

So on this rainy Sunday, when the weather forecast announced bright sunshine as usual, I'm spamming you with three Artifex videos showing the Ultrabuild sets  4529 Iron Man, 4530 Hulk et 4597 Captain America.

I remind you that you can mix them to create super-superheroes. (see this article

I promise, after that I don't talk about it anymore.
