CopMike unveils the Queen Amidala minifigure that will be delivered in the set 9499 Gungan Sub in June 2012.

Artistic side, nothing to say, it's successful. A reflection comes to me, however: It seems to me that we are moving away from the concept of the classic minifigure to pour into the over-stylized collectible figurine. The reproduction is faithful and the level of detail is exceptional. But if the head, chest and hands are LEGO pieces say conventional, the rest is more like model making than anything else.

Everyone will have their own idea ... Me, I remain enthralled by this exceptional figurine, so much so that I wonder what it comes to do in the set 9499 Gungan Sub. But that's another story....

Nothing. Everything has been said: We have seen the ultra-preliminary versions, the sets were presented during the New York Toy Fair 2012 and the official visuals have been posted online. Since then it's been dead calm and apart from the set 9674 The Orc Forge whose official images are still awaited, there is nothing very exciting on the horizon.

The information of the day, which is not for us French, is that the range will be officially presented for the first time to the general public during the Lego show which will be held on May 5, 6 and 7 in Manchester, UK. 

There is no doubt that many visitors, less extremists than all of us here for whom even a fuzzy photo of a novelty is always an event, will discover this eagerly awaited range for the first time and that many photos will be available on the various usual media. This will be an opportunity to check if LEGO has hidden a mystery set, a video game or an exclusive minifigure from us ... 

After the version of Calin & Christo (my photo below) and that of LEGO (see this article), here is the Hulk minifigure in version Fine Cloner.

On the menu: A well-detailed torso, an expressive face, a pair of classic purple pants with a rope as a belt and a decal on each foot, I am a little dubious about this, to simulate the toes of the man green.

LEGO has just announced the launch of an iPhone application that looks promising. First disappointment, the application is not optimized for iPad, you have to zoom. 

But when we finally understand how the thing works, it is obvious that the iPad does not really lend itself to it: LEGO® Super Hero Movie Maker is nothing more than an application that offers you to edit your photos to give stop-motion animation. Everything is wrapped in the possibility of inserting a title, credits, music and some effects. It is also possible to speed up or reduce the speed of the video.

It's funny two minutes, but hey, I don't really have the patience to take dozens of pictures with my phone to hope for something cool. Fans of brickfilms may take this a little more seriously. The others will have fun with it for three minutes.

Good point, it's free ...

You don't have a facebook account? You don't like facebook? Are you too young to have an account? You think it's unfair that alone Hoth Bricks Fans on facebook have the right to win one of the TC-14 Chrome Silver involved?

I have the solution: I also put in play 2 additional copies directly on the blog.

The rule is simple: You just need to have posted at least once a comment on one of the articles of the blog (any one) to participate in the draw which will take place after April 30, 2012 and which will designate the 2 winners of the coveted bag. If you've never posted a comment here, do so, it's not dangerous.
There is no point in spamming articles, one comment is enough. There is also no point in posting dozens of comments with different nicknames, the system is a little smarter than that ...

I don't want to organize a quiz or put too many constraints, it's up to you to play the game. Only luck will decide who will be able to win one of the 2 bags put into play here. winners will be contacted individually by email (Make sure you enter a valid email when posting the comment).

I hope that I have met your expectations and your comments and I wish you all good luck.

PS: Don't worry about your email addresses, I don't sell them, I don't spam, and everything is secure as much as possible.
