You don't want to spend at least € 30 on a Dewback on Bricklink ? Brickmamba offers you its version of this bug. It is quite successful, as much as possible using bricks, and remains faithful to its original model which has become overpriced, just like the only set that contains the 4501 Mos Eisley Cantina which is currently trading around 100 €.

I already know the debate is going to ignite, but I have to post here an update on what appears to be the biggest collection of vehicles and Clone Troopers amassed by a single guy on YouTube anyway. . LEGOboy12345678 (!) Posted an update of their 4 year collection and the result is both impressive and surprising ...

The War of the Clone Armies is still raging on YouTube, I already told you about it in this article, and LEGOboy12345678 has obviously taken control ...

Difficult to remain unmoved in front of so many machines, soldiers, speeders, dropships, customs, etc ... exclusively based on the universe of The Clone Wars.

Obviously, there are those who congratulate this collector for this gigantic army and those who scoff at the sums obviously spent over the years to fill an entire room with sets in multiple copies.

The 24 minute video below details all of this. It is commented on by the collector in question.

I'm curious what you think, feel free to post a comment. Stay polite and courteous, no need to get upset or insult others. After all, everyone does what they want with their money and their passion ...

Clarence, a young American student who posts on flickr under the enigmatic nickname Grant Me Your Bacon! Currently offers excellent customs on various themes, including Lord of the Rings.

In contrast to the achievements ofartwalker_ts, his creations are imbued with more realism. It will please or not, but we must admit that the result is artistically very successful. We are far from the polished aesthetic of some custom minifigs and the violence and roughness of the fighting in Tolkien's universe is cleverly suggested.

To see more and discover many other creations of Grant Me Your Bacon!, It's certain his flickr gallery that it happens.

2012 is the year of Darth Maul in all sauces ... And Calin (CAB & Tiler) also marks the occasion with this Darth Maul on his speeder.

As usual, it's successful and well staged. So for the 2000th time, run on his flickr gallery to enjoy the photos of this high-end mini-MOC ...

The teasing continues from LEGO with 3 new presentation sheets added to the official website thelordoftherings.lego.com.

Obviously, they are in English, but everything is easily understandable with a good translation, since it is intended for a young audience who does not necessarily know the characters of the Lord of the Rings universe. the summaries are very well done, and each character is presented in a synthetic way without adding any more. 

With all due respect to the so-called geeks who still believe that having seen the Peter Jackson trilogy makes them apart, LEGO popularizes Lord of the Rings and thus makes it accessible to its potential customers: The children. And this is a good thing. Lord of the Rings, and more generally literature heroic fantasy ou medieval-fantasy, is often put forward by some to claim to be a caste of people apart ...

But LEGO fortunately has the gift of bringing things back to their true value as was the case with Star Wars and making them accessible to everyone for what they are: Literary or cinematographic works that have become reference points like so many others in our culture, geek or not ...
When we see that the least penguin who could afford an iPhone or who plays Call of Duty like a few billion people claims to be geek, we understand a lot ... My 7 and a half year old son loves Darth Vader as much than any nostalgic thirty-something and he appreciates old Gandalf and grumpy Gimli just as much as those who have spent part of their life learning Elvish languages ​​....

So on the menu for these new files, Haldir, eomer and Berserker Uruk-Hai. the minifigs are digital renderings and not the ABS plastic versions we are entitled to.

PS: To all the children who read me, and I know thanks to your numerous emails that you are more and more numerous, know that this blog is also made for you, geeks or not, AFOLs or not ... thank you parents also.
