7965 Millennium Falcon

If you have a little time ahead of you and you can wait a few weeks to take advantage of your new acquisition, then this offer is for you: Amazon offers the set 7965 Millennium Falcon at the very interesting price of 107.87 €. Delivery is free.

It should also be noted that the delays at Amazon are often lower than those initially announced. 

We no longer present this set released in 2011 and which is already on the way to becoming a great classic in the Star Wars range. Well equipped in minifig and correctly designed despite some details still annoying in terms of finish, this set is essential for any good collector.

Don't delay too long, prices fluctuate very quickly at Amazon, and as the old saying goes, better to hold on than run.

For information, the same set (out of stock) is currently sold at P & P at 135.90 € (normal price) or 112.00 € (with the Club Card) to which the shipping costs must be added.  

It is also marketed at € 159.90 on the LEGO Shop and € 129.99 at TRU.

6864 Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase

With the release of the set 6864 Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase, we are going to get a new minifigure of Two-Face alias Double-Face.

This minifigure has an accessory that intrigues some and delights others: the famous Two-Face's Lucky Coin, the silver dollar that Harvey Dent uses to make his decisions.

One side of this coin is just normal, the other is torn. If the lacerated face comes out, Dent will do the harm around him and his evil side will take over. If the other side comes out, it will behave correctly and will not commit crimes ...

This piece is already listed on Bricklink under the name Flat Silver Tile, Round 1 x 1 with Two-Face Corner Pattern (98138pb05), and has already been seen in other colors especially in some Ninjago sets.

The author of the review on FBTB adds that he was even entitled to two Coins in the set's inventory. The presence of this second Coin will it be systematic? It will have to be checked over the course of purchases and reviews that will appear online.

Christo - Custom Joker

I was careful: I waited until the auctions were over to be sure not to miss these minifigs and see me doubled by an avid Brick Heroes reader ... It's petty, I know, but I assume ...

These Christo minifigs are once again exceptional and I couldn't help but struggle in some pretty heated auctions and the prices have skyrocketed a bit.

After Iron Man, War Machine, Spiderman, Georges Lucas, Hulk and Wiplash, I needed these two minifigs of the Joker version Dark Knight. Of course, I didn't resist Captain America and his nemesis Red Skull either.

These minifigs should arrive in about ten days from South Africa, and I'm hopeful that I have made some progress in photography by then to bring you something visually presentable.

Christo regularly re-sells minifigs in his eBay store with currently Captain America, Red Skull, Joker, Iron Man, SpidermanEtc. ...

Be careful not to lose control of your auctions, keep your cool. If you miss an auction other minifigs will be offered for sale, don't get carried away and set a limit.

9489 Endor Rebel Trooper & Imperial Trooper

Two images of these two multi-faction Battle Packs: 9488 ARC Trooper & Commando Droid Battle Pack et 9489 Endor Rebel Trooper & Imperial Trooper.

Obviously, we always want more ... But I like these two Battle Packs. The faction mix in these photos definitely convinced me that LEGO made the right choice, both in terms of playability and the variety of minifigs you get with each set.

The Endor Rebel Troopers will be welcome to help their brothers in arms from the set 8038 Battle of Endor. I would have preferred that LEGO finally produced new blasters. It is high time, and signals have already been sent by many manufacturers of custom parts ...

Concerning the set 9488, I think that ultimately I prefer both Commando Droids au troopers. I think that with a little hindsight, we will quickly get tired of these troopers arch-detailed.

But I'm choosy, I'm not really a type who builds armies with big Battle Packs.

Although after reflection, these Commando Droids, I would like to have twenty, that must make a good squad ....

For the tree and the cannon, I would say nothing more. I've been mean enough tonight ...

You can find these high resolution photos in Grogall's Brickshelf Gallery.

Dark Vador (Darth Vader) by Mehdi Drouillon - All rights reserved - Photo published without modification

Well, he might be angry with me, but I prefer to mention his full name here because of great respect for the work done.

So, I was saying, MED, creator of customs that you know if you follow Brick Heroes, alias Mehdi Drouillon, takes pictures. He does it pretty well and offers great shots.
But there, he offers us a very nice series with Darth Vader (or Darth Vader) as the main subject and some well-felt staging. I selected this shot for you to illustrate this post, but it was only because you had to choose one.

Meeting on his flickr gallery and take the time to take a look at these photos. Their apparent simplicity creates a truly unique ambiance.
