The Batcave is the emblematic place of the Batman saga: It concentrates most of the universe of the vigilante of Gotham City in a secret underground space and equipped with the most modern technologies.

BeKindRewind presents us his version of this place and the result is up to what we can expect from an MOC on which he spent several years (intermittently, I can assure you).

This MOC is largely inspired by the original Batcave from the set released in 2006: 7783 The Batcave: The Penguin and Mr. Freeze's Invasion which many AFOLs consider much better than the set 6860 The Batcave released a few days ago.

 BeKindRewind added its very personal touch to this creation with a host of details such as the spiral staircase at the entrance, the medical area, the trophy room or the safe ... Not to mention the secret door that allows the Batmobile to exit discreetly by the side of the rocky hill.

To discover this Batcave from every angle, go to BeKindRewind's Brickshelf gallery.

We believed that we had reached the peak of the absurd with the hundreds of ridiculous projects posted on Cuusoo ... But nay, LEGO has just found the ultimate solution to give some seriousness to all this: Cuusoo will now be banned to children !!! Please note, not some children, but ALL children under 18 will no longer be welcome to present their ideas.

As of January 12, you must be at least 18 years old to be able to present a project, and 13 years old to be able to register and support projects, without being able to create one.

The project turning to the farce, LEGO had to react to maintain a little credibility to the whole. Between the MOCs pumped onto flickr or MOCpages and presented as new projects, petitions for the return of the Bionicle range, personal photos or settling of scores between TFOLs, Cuusoo had become a sort of uncontrollable arena.

From now on, he will have to be of age to be able to post a photo of his kids, to come and ask for a UCS from the Black Pearl or a license from The Simpsons .... I do not know if we will gain by the change ....

To learn more, read this declaration from the LEGO Cuusoo team and their reaction to the project  No to 18+! created by users (minors) unhappy with this ad, laughter ...

You already know these two custom minifigs: They are the ones that you presented here (Captain America) et there (Red Skull), produced by Christo (CAB).

Calin stages them here with two superb motorcycles in a frantic chase. The Red Skull motorcycle is fitted with custom chrome parts and the two machines are the result of an ingenious assembly using a few original parts judiciously used.

The photo itself is a model of its kind, the lighting and the staging are simply breathtaking.

For other views of these machines and minifigs, go to CAB & Tiler's flickr gallery.

These are brand new videos that grogall posted on the Eurobricks forum and they are very well done. They come from the LEGO cache and feature the sets from the first Star Wars 2012 wave in beautiful, action-packed animations ... And these are in fact the videos that illustrate the products on the official website.

To view them go to the dedicated page: Animations SW 2012. Playback is automatic for all videos, but once finished you can restart playback by clicking on the animation.

You may remember the LEGO survey of VIP members in July (see this article): Everyone could choose their favorite minifig among the 48 minifigs of series 1, 2 and 3. (see an example of the email received at the time of the vote)

Well the result of the vote has fallen and LEGO reveals it in the latest VIP newsletter.

And there is something to ask questions ... Either the majority of voters really wanted to get these minifigs and in this case I give up ... Either LEGO takes us for fools.

These five minifigs are, coincidentally, all from Series 3, and LEGO promises that one element will be in a unique color for each of them: The scorpion for the mummy, the fish and the fisherman's hat, the leg of the wood of space pirateEtc. ...

That the elf is in this set which will be exclusively sold to VIP customers (register, it's free anyway ...), I obviously find that rather logical. But for the 4 other minifigs, I wonder what they are doing there ... Of the 3 sets of 16 minifigs each, or 48 minifigs in total, all the voters would have chosen these ... I am doubtful. No Zombie (series 1), no Spartan warrior (series 2) or Robot (series 1) ?

In short, as shown in the picture this set will be available mid 2012 and by then LEGO will tell VIP customers how to buy this not-so-collector's pack via the newsletter.
