Another ship today with this largely average Imperial shuttle. No big innovation in terms of creativity on this model, which however remains immediately identifiable.

She reminds me of the set 20016 BrickMaster Imperial Shuttle released in 2010. The scale is obviously not the same.

If you can, get this set, it is very successful. It is still available for sale on Bricklink for just under 15 €.

This is a well-guarded surprise from LEGO.

No one saw this set coming 6857 The Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape which has just appeared on the LEGO Shop US... 

This shows once again that LEGO still has the ability to not let certain information filter out ....

This set of 380 pieces and 5 minifigs: Batman, Robin, The Joker, The Riddler and Harley Quinn is announced for December 15th. We have been wondering so far if The Riddler and Harley Quinn would be together in a set, so we have the answer.

Sold in the US for $ 39.99, this feature-packed, minifig-packed playset that collectors eagerly await should quickly become the steal of this first wave of LEGO Super Heroes DC Universe sets.

Enthusiasm is already taking hold of the various AFOLs forums where this set is very well received ....

Note that the other sets in the range are also listed on the LEGO Shop US, and announced for December 15. The and 6858 Catwoman Catcycle City Chase is $ 12.99, the set 6863 Batwing Battle Over Gotham City at $ 34.99 and the set 6864 The Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase is $ 49.99.
UltraBuild sets 4526 Batman, 4527 The Joker et 4528 Green Lantern are $ 14.99.

Okay, the pun is bad, but the info is interesting: The Joker's henchman minifigure, commonly known as henchman and delivered in the set  6863 Batwing Battle over Gotham City is entitled to a serigraph on the back.

We were not used to having henchmen so screen printed. The 2006 version of this minifig only had a purple torso without any silkscreen printing.

On this new minifigure, the torso is therefore screen-printed on its front with a jacket and a white sweater and on its back with a logo bearing the image of the Joker. The face has also been very worked with this clown makeup.

Many people have come to the blog Read this article and then returned to their favorite forums with the impression that the photo of the Sandtrooper from the set 9490 Droid Escape had something not clear ...

Well, here's something to confirm to them that this Sandtrooper will have this face with this silkscreen. So we can move on ...

It's confirmed: The LEGO Super Heroes range is available in the USA and eBay is already inundated with sets for sale at sometimes mind-blowing prices.

We thus find the set 6858 Catwoman Catcycle City Chase at around $ 38, the set 6862 Superman vs Power Armor Lex at around $ 39, the set 6863 Batwing Battle over Gotham City about $ 75 and the set 6864 Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase at around $ 110.

No trace, however, of the set 6860 The Batcave for the moment.

There is no doubt about it, these are no longer sales organized by unscrupulous Mexican employees, but sales organized by even less scrupulous American speculators. But after all, these sets are barely available and exclusivity comes at a price ... it's up to you.

No information on availability in France for the moment. Follow the links I give you in this article to keep you informed of the effective sale of these sets on Amazon.fr.
