You who follow this blog, you know my aversion to photos of Stormtroopers. These minifigs are staged in every way and not always with the best inspiration for that matter ... But today, I make an exception to this rule of the good old grumbler that I am with the work of designholic *.

First of all, it's nicely done. It's clean, creative and it's not all Stormtroopers. And besides, I just learned that it is a woman, a girl, a chick what, who produces these pictures. And it always enchants me to see the fairer sex playing LEGO ...

This is once again proof that no, LEGOs aren't just for boys, it's also for girls. Obviously, you already know some of these pictures that have been around the web, but you will look at them differently knowing that a woman is holding the device ...

So, not a minute to waste, run on the flickr gallery of the young lady, or on his tumblr besides ....

PS: the photo that illustrates this post has nothing to do with Star Wars, but Green Lantern being one of my favorite minifigs at the moment, I had to post this image anyway. For Stormtroopers, you have to go to the two links above ...

PS2: If there are girls among the readers of this blog, show up in the comments. I'm curious to see if this type of content attracts anything other than the good old (or young) KFOLs, TFOls or AFOLs or thing-FOLs that we are.

Okay, those who follow me on Facebook already know it: I decided to put into play 3 bags of the exclusive TC-14 minifigure. The raffle draw will take place among fans on the Hoth Bricks page as of 30/04/2012.

As you can imagine, if I had had 400 on hand, I would have offered one to each of you, loyal readers. But that's not the case in this cruel world and I'm going to have to bring in luck through the left hand of my 3 year old son and the right hand of my other 7 year old son ...

Regarding the big question ... These bags do not come from LEGO, or from any generous sponsor ... I have some nice contacts which enabled me to obtain these 3 bags for you. It's not a revolution, but at the moment we still don't know if the promo will take place with us (I still think so) and I thought to myself that you would appreciate being able to get this minifigure without spending a lot of money. money on the LEGO Shop, coerced and forced.

So don't wait any longer, become a fan of the Hoth Bricks page, and participate in this raffle. And I repeat, I would have liked to have more, but it was mission impossible. 

I had already seen this email go through last week, but I have just received it again, no doubt to be sure not to miss the exceptional offer that LEGO is currently offering us.

Judge for yourself: All you have to do is spend the modest sum of 85 € on the LEGO site to see you receive this magnificent red multifunctional bag that will accompany you on a daily basis (shopping, garbage cans, etc ...)

I am speechless in the face of so much generosity towards us, customers forgotten by marketing plans and excluded from the aggressive and ambitious commercial policy of the manufacturer.

With this reusable and above all FREE bag, we will have the feeling of having been pampered and rewarded, no doubt about it ...

So, don't wait any longer, go to the LEGO site to spend your money, the gift awaits you. As for me, I pass on this one, I have already received the same one in green offered by Here ....

Not content to propose an exclusive Lex Luthor minifigure for any pre-order of a LEGO Batman 2 game, the EB Games merchant also offers a second bonus in the form of a pack of 5 characters (super villains in this case) to activate in the game. 

On the menu, therefore, Bizzaro, Captain Cold, Black Adam, Black Manta and Gorilla Grodd. You're gonna tell me: We don't care, LEGO will never produce these minifigs. And you're right....

For information EB GamesIs in Australia, in New Zealand et in Canada. In Germany, in Spain, in Great Britain, in Ireland et Italy this is Gamestop. And for France, it is micromania.fr...

Don't make me say what I didn't write. But it would be worth it to follow these other brands to see if they also offer these two exclusive offers ...

Another slightly crappy title, I know .... But when it comes to exposing a Millennium Falcon UCS (10179), the problem is huge (!). In addition to the obviously necessary space, it is also necessary to find a position which allows to admire at best the innumerable details of this set which has become legendary. 

etcknight had already offered to fix it to the wall (see this article) using a TV support, and BobBongo1895 now brings up an idea that is probably less acrobatic but which allows you to orient the machine as well as possible: A support specially designed to keep the Millennium Falcon at about 45 ° d tilt. A good idea that allows you to display the thing on a shelf placed high up while retaining the possibility of admiring it.

For the record, BobBongo1895 had undertaken to rebuild a Millennium Falcon by purchasing all the parts on BrickLink (see the dedicated topic). what many members of the Brickpirate forum have also done (see this dedicated topic).
