2012 LEGO Superheroes Batman

It's on the Youtube channel of HKTOYSRUS (Toys R Us Hong Kong) that this new advertisement for the LEGO Super Heroes DC Universe range is being broadcast.

We see in detail 3 sets in a humorous staging.

We discover the mechanism for transforming Bruce Wayne into Batman in the Batcave and the stop motion montage of the Batmobile from set 6864.

A very well done video to discover urgently !!!

6863 Batwing Battle Over Gotham City
6860 The Batcave
6864 Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase

Artifex offers us other reviews in pictures of the new LEGO Super Heroes, while waiting for them to be available from us and it's starting to be long ...

The undeniable advantage of these reviews lies in the fact that in less than 3 minutes, you have toured the set, its minifigs, its assembly and its features. For the rest, you are free to form an opinion on the quality of the whole in full knowledge of the facts.

As I said previously, I'm a little jaded by Anglo-Saxon reviews, where everything is decidedly  awesome, gorgeous, brilliant and so on ... I also want to discover the set in pictures and the minifigs in detail without being entitled to the checkered tablecloth in the kitchen or the carpet in the living room of the guy doing the review ...

While the first wave of LEGO Super Heroes DC Universe sets are still not available from us, the set 6860 The Batcave has just appeared on the LEGO Shop US at a rate of $ 69.99.

I remind you that this set was initially displayed by Amazon.fr at 83.00 € before the price was withdrawn and the set indicated as unavailable.

You can follow the evolution of the file directly at Amazon via this link: 6860 The Batcave, or via the Brick Heroes store which references all these eagerly awaited novelties.

Leia Organa as Boushh by Omar Ovalle

This little MOC ofOmar Ovalle comes in handy in this period of leaks concerning the sets of the second wave Star Wars 2012.

Small parenthesis for all those who wonder who Boushh is: This is a Bounty Hunter, who died after many adventures that it would take too long to detail here, and whose equipment was used by Leia during several infiltration missions, particularly on Coruscant and in Jabba Palace. 

Omar Ovalle has done here what LEGO can do best: put interesting minifigs with a piece of wall. We therefore find a custom minifig of Leia, Han Solo and its Carbonite version, and the famous wall, all offered with a nice box.

Omar Ovalle will agree with me, it's not its best MOC, but I find it interesting if you put it in perspective with what LEGO usually offers us. Personally, at 14.90 €, I would happily buy this mini set ...

Star Wars ™: The Old Republic Collector's Edition

I have been talking to you about Star Wars The Old Republic, the MMORPG or massively multiplayer online role-playing game, which officially launched on December 20.

You will have to get started, to better understand this universe, its characters and its ships, two of which will be offered by LEGO in the second wave 2012 with the following two sets: 9500 Fury Class Interceptor et 9497 Republic Striker Starfighter.

This type of game, extremely time-consuming, deserves that we look at it a little. He is developing a particular universe which will not please all Star Wars fans, but which will have an obvious influence on derivative products and probably also on future comics or books relating to the Extended Universe.

Note that the game is increasingly cited using its acronym SWTOR. So you'll also see it on Hoth Bricks.

Two editions are offered for sale:

Star Wars: The Old Republic Standard Edition (45.00 €)

Star Wars: The Old Republic Collector's Edition (129.90 €)

The Limited Collector's Edition includes in addition to the game:
An exclusive 23.5 cm statuette of Dark Malgus, produced by Gentle Giant
Master Gnost-Dural's diary annotated by Satele Chan 
The galaxy map. Dimensions 35.5 x 50.8 cm
A secure authentication keychain 
A CD of the Star Wars: The Old Republic soundtrack
