Hasbro Quinjet - The Avengers

Hasbro is gradually unveiling its range of toys based on the license and the movie The Avengers and we therefore discover the Quinjet and the Helicarrier produced by the manufacturer. 

Logically, LEGO should offer models of this type, also based on the machines from the film in the next sets. 6868 Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout  (with probably just a portion of the interior of the machine with an advertised price of around 59 €) and 6869 Quinjet Aerial Battle (the Quinjet will undoubtedly be represented in full with an announced price of around € 83).

Berserk Captain America by forrestfire101

I have a lot of respect for all those who spend hours directing their brickfilms, frame by frame, movement by movement, for a few minutes of visual pleasure in the end. 

forrestfire101 is no novice and his latest creation once again sets the bar higher. In 2 minutes and 25 seconds, Captain America shoots, dismembers, explodes, beheads and guts a slew of minifigs. The production is very high-end with a high-end Cape custom, all different weapons from Brickarms, incredible special effects, (pico) liters of blood, neat lighting and fluid animation.

I'm a fan, I've been going over it over and over since this morning to catch every detail and it's just exhilarating.

Be careful with the youngest though, violence and blood are very present and even if they are only a few minifigs, the effects are so striking that they are likely to shock sensitive souls. For the others, forward for 2.25 minutes of action ...

The first reactions read here and there on the internet are very positive. Even Gollum found his audience ...

New Super Pack 3in1 66411

As soon as the new 2012 products are available, a 3in1 Super Pack already appears under the reference 66411. It is for sale on eBay froma german seller with a starting price of 80 € and contains the following references:

9488 - ARC Trooper & Commando Droid Battle Pack 
9489 - Endor Rebel Trooper & Imperial Trooper
9495 - Gold Leader's Y-Wing Starfighter (Exclusive)

One wonders why LEGO has chosen to group together sets that have no real relation to each other, even if this type of pack is an excellent opportunity for a gift to give to a young LEGO fan who is starting his collection.

Wolverine & Terminator T-800 by M00DSWIM

The inventor of the Moodland Scale aka M00DSWIM returns with two beautiful creations: Wolverine and the Terminator T-800.

In both cases, the end result is impressive and this scale allows a clever diversion of the parts. System of their primary use. Over the MOCs presented by M00DSWIM, I adhere more and more to its concept and am surprised each time by the ingenuity and inventiveness implemented to obtain these figurines.

If you follow Hoth Bricks you already know this gentleman's work, if you don't go to his flickr gallery to discover his many creations in the Star Wars universe.
