You are bored while waiting for the next stamped photos Confidential ? Going around in circles wondering if you're going to spend your vacation savings on the next wave of Star Wars sets?

So I have something to occupy you ... with the creations of Nicholas foo, a guy who has the privilege of being a LEGO® Certified Professional and who had fun a few years ago creating alternative models on the basis of official LEGO sets. 

So get out your bricks and get started with these models based on the sets below, the links of which will take you to the Brickshlef gallery of Nicholas foo where the photos and instructions are.

Not all in the best taste, but if you have some time to spare instead of watching TV, it's always a winner ... or not.

LEGO continues relentlessly uploading presentations long awaited minifigs from the Lord of the Rings range. On the menu these days, Gollum, that I had shamefully forgotten, a Nazgal ou ringwraith and Uruk-hai. 

The more I see these 3D renderings, the more I tell myself that in the end, all this teasing is very well organized to make customers' mouths water. Between the mini sites, video animations, 3D renderings, catalogs and box design, LEGO knows how to highlight its products, at the risk of creating a kind of general mini-disappointment when unpacking the set.  

If we look in detail at the visuals of the boxes of the Lord of the Rings range (This is also valid for the other ranges), we quickly realize that the substance of the staging has a lot to do with the staging. value of plastic. Once on the shelves of your favorite stores, attracted by these ultra-luscious visuals, you buy a staging, with all its possibilities, and its part of dreams ...

But admit that the Mines of Moria on the living room table with its pretty red and white checkered tablecloth or Helm's Deep on the blue low-pile carpet in the bedroom, it immediately makes you feel worse ...

In short, marketing is obviously king, and over the months of cleverly conducted teasing, a product is visually printed in its most idealized form.

Unpacking the long-awaited set is a bit like a hangover after an evening of drunkenness: It's hard and sometimes we regret having committed some excess ....

Moreover, this is my question of the day: Have you ever been frankly disappointed after buying a set and waiting for more, without really knowing what, than the few bits of plastic it contains?

Let's go for a new series of very good quality visuals of minifigs and sets from the next wave of LEGO Super Heroes Marvel.

The whole gets better at the rate of the publication of images and Iron Man could even manage to convince me ....

On the other hand, it is also confirmed that I will save myself space by buying only the minifigs of this range .... I would gladly do without this helicopter, this pick-up and this pseudo-base of Hulk .... and I'm not even talking about motorcycles ....

Special mention for Black Widow who is beautiful ...

When you think about it, it makes sense: Dorling Kindersley editions books are regularly published on the various popular LEGO themes and the Super Heroes range is no exception to the rule.

This year we will be entitled to a 96-page book whose title is unsurprising: LEGO® Batman: The Visual Dictionary.

The release date is scheduled for September 2012. An exclusive minifig will be offered with the book as is already the case for the two books relating to the LEGO Star Wars range: LEGO® Star Wars The Visual Dictionary et LEGO® Star Wars Character Encyclopedia.

If we stick to the description in English on the publisher's site: ... An illustrated timeline shows every LEGO Batman set ever produced ..., this book could include all the sets already released in the LEGO Batman universe and could therefore include those from the 2006-2008 range. But this remains to be confirmed pending further information.

Amazon already references this book: LEGO® Batman: The Visual Dictionary. You can also find it in the Brick Heroes store.

See the sheet of the book at the publisher Dorling Kindersley.
