6864 Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase

It's Samuel, a young and loyal reader of this blog, who points out to me this once again disturbing and disappointing detail: The box and all the official visuals of the set 6864 Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase presented Two-Face and his two henchmen with a colored hand Light Flesh and the other Dark Bluish Gray.

Everyone who has received the set so far has obtained minifigs with two hands in Light Flesh.

This type of error, no matter how small, should not happen. The consequences are minimal for consumers, but again this error will fuel a hypothetical speculation on the exit of the set with the hands in. Flesh et Dark Bluish Gray as presented on the box.

Dewback by Omar Ovalle

For this first MOC of the year, Omar Ovalle offers us a beautiful creation with this very ingenious Dewback. The creature's head may be lacking in bulk, but overall the result is convincing.

This MOC is the first in a new series announced by Omar Ovalle on his flickr gallery and which will include in particular creations of the Action Figures... To be continued.

30057 Anakin's Podracer & 30059 MTT

LEGO regularly adds instructions in pdf format to its database, and often this allows us to discover some new features even before they are actually marketed.

We had already obtained some information on the existence of sets 30056 Star Destroyer et 30058 STAP a few days ago.

Two new polybag sets have thus appeared in this database: the set 30057 Anakin's Pordracer and the set 30059 MTT.

To the question you will not fail to ask yourself: Where to get these very nice sets ?, I would answer you that we will have to wait and see how they will be distributed, but that inevitably we will have to buy them on Bricklink from sellers with could benefit from a promotion across the Channel or across the Atlantic ....

LEGO Super Heroes DC Universe - 30161 Batmobile

It is through the instructions in pdf format that LEGO regularly adds to its database that we discover two mini sets planned this year in the Super Heroes range:

the and 30161 is a rather successful mini Batmobile on this scale and the set 30160 features a Batman minifigure on a jetski. The minifig is that of the sets 6864 Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase et 6863 Batwing Battle Over Gotham City.

No information at this time on how to get these sets. We will have to wait for the announcement of a particular promotion, probably in Great Britain or the USA and then go to Bricklink to obtain them ....

9494 & 9495 - LEGO Shop

The 2012 novelties of the Star Wars range appeared on the Lego shop. No surprise, the prices are those expected and it is already possible to find cheaper elsewhere without forcing yourself too much ....

On the other hand, we will note the presence of sets 9494 Anakin's Jedi Interceptor ™ et 9495 Gold Leader's Y-Wing Starfighter ™  in category Hard to find items, which clearly means that these two sets will remain an exclusive to the LEGO Shop for at least some time.
