10225 SCU R2-D2

It is in this image that what appears to be the set 10225 SCU R2-D2 makes his first unofficial appearance. Nothing foolish, we do not see much and we will have to wait to see if this R2-D2 is really a good UCS well in the spirit of the range by its design and its level of detail ...

The designer of this set could be the friend Kurt (see the 10221 presentation video), who has already offered us the very good 10215 Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter and 10221 Super Star Destroyer

Note that this image was unearthed by Dar2k, bravo to him, it was necessary to find it .... 

The video presenting the set 10224 Town Hall in which this image appears in the very first seconds was passed in private mode on YouTube, probably as a result of this communication ball ... but it was re-uploaded by a YouTube user:

9674 The Orc Forge

It's confirmed, the set 9674 The Orc Forge will include an identified Orc: Lurtz.
As shown in the visual of the box below from the presentation of the range at the New York Toy fair 2012, the set will contain three generic Mordor Orcs, an Isengard Uruk-Hai and Lurtz, the Orc specially created by Peter Jackson for the movie The Fellowship of the Ring and which does not appear anywhere in Tolkien's books. You even have to refer to the long version of the film to hear his name pronounced by Saruman ...

Note that this set is identified as hard to find for the US market and that it should be exclusively distributed by the Target chain of stores. Which probably means that for the French market, it should be an exclusive available at Toys R Us or La Grande Récré.

If you can not wait any longer, you can pre-order it now at Jinx, it will not be delivered to you until summer 2012.

I remind you that the official press release presents everything as follows: ... LEGO Minecraft Micro World is designed to celebrate the essence of the LEGO concept and the Minecraft gaming experience ... Just that ... and at LEGO we even add that when Markus “Notch” Persson, the creator of Minecraft, would have seen this thing, he would have exclaimed, I quote:  Woohoo!

How to tell you .... Okay, come on I'm not going to be mean. Next ....
