If you follow Hoth Bricks, it has not escaped you that Darth Maul is the center of attention this year: He is present on all Star Wars merchandise, he is currently showing with the 3D release of the 'Episode I The Phantom Menace  and especially he returns in the animated series The Clone Wars.

It didn't take more for LEGO to bring out an exclusive bag with this character in its version I come back from the dead, which we will have to try to get on Bricklink within a few days against a few tickets from American sellers anxious to share with the whole world their chance to have been entitled to this very successful minifig.

Despite everything, I think there is no urgency, this minifigure will undoubtedly be available on other occasions, various promotions or exhibitions to come.

They hide things from us ... why the box of the set 6869 Quinjet Aerial Battle is it in white version with a big logo Confidential ??? No doubt because it contains one or two minifigs which Marvel does not wish to reveal, otherwise they will reveal all of the protagonists of one of the film's most important scenes.

I give you the description of the set which confirms this theory:

Loki is up to no good and is planning to destroy the earth! As he flies into battle on board his chariot, help the Avenger's defeat their nemesis using the supersonic Quinjet! Fire the missiles, release the mini-jet and imprison Loki in the prison pod! With the high-tech Quinjet, the Avengers can't fail! Includes Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow, Loki and more minifigures. 

You probably read it when FBTB announced that he had received his access badges At the New York Toy Fair 2012, two minifigs were advertised as gifts to participants invited by LEGO.

125 exclusive packs were produced for the occasion, not one more. The two minifigs are Iron Man and Captain America's, and if you take a closer look you'll see that they're not exactly the same as the ones we've been shown on repeat since this morning ....

As usual, they are already for sale on eBay, I'm not even telling you the price, it's indecent ... Go see for yourself. 

It is the least announced minifig and yet one of the most awaited by comic book fans: I can't resist the pleasure of putting a close-up on the Deadpool minifigure that will be delivered in the set. 6866 Wolverine's Chopper Showdown...

That's all I have to offer you on the subject, but it looks like the LEGO board games department has a preliminary version of what could become a LEGO-style board game based on the universe of The Hobbit.

No idea of ​​the rules or the content yet. Wait and see ..
