Bat Rod by The Lanterne Rouge

Another great achievement for Wheels of Justice with this Bat Rod which definitely has a "pretty face" ....

I love the principle of the two-tone black and red seat and this machine that exudes power gives pride of place to many parts that we rarely see on this type of MOCs.

The cockpit is also well done and I'm not sure why but the whole thing exudes the vibe of the aging, dark Batman of Frank Miller.

To see more, visit the flickr gallery by The Lanterne Rouge.

Emerald Thunder by Cole Blaq

In the long series of Green Lantern Mobiles posted by MOCeurs on FBTB as part of the Wheels of Justice competition, we find a bit of everything: Good, less good, creative, plagiarism, etc ....

But there, Cole Blaq is doing very hard with this named vehicle Emerald thunder (Emerald Thunder, yes I know it's cooler in English) and intended for Green Lantern.

Everything is there: The colors with shades of green judiciously associated, the power symbolized by the air intake on the engine, a plasma cannon, and two lanterns placed at the front ...

This MOC is simply well designed and the other competitors have to worry about it ... To discover it from every angle and see how the two lanterns create the virtual road as in the film, go to Cole Blaq's flickr gallery.

Official LEGO Store in Berlin

Well, it's not in France, but we're getting close ... LEGO will soon be opening a new official Shop in Saarbrücken in Germany a few kilometers from the French border (69 km from Metz).

Recruitment is currently underway and no specific opening date has been communicated.

If you feel like it and you have mastered the language of Goethe, you can apply for the positions of Store Manager, D 'Store Manager Assistant or Mitarbeiter im Verkauf (Sales employee).

Many of you are undoubtedly delighted with the opening of an official shop a stone's throw from our borders. But when will a LEGO shop in Paris, Lyon, Marseille or elsewhere?

7957 Sith Nightspeeder

You are a collector and you have necessarily added this set 7957 Sith Nightspeeder to your stack of LEGO Star Wars boxes. If it is not already done, it is to 20.99 € on Amazon at the moment...

Or have you been offered this set which does not enchant you more than that, with its moderately successful modular speeder?

LEGOstein has a solution for you: Keep the minifigs, which are interesting, and build something else with the 213 pieces in the set. And you will be able to give yourself to your heart's content with not 1 or 2 but 5 different models: Acclamator I-Class Assault Ship, Porax-38 Starfighter, Imperial Star Destroyer, Theta-Class T-2c Shuttle et Venator-class Star Destroyer.

For each ship, LEGOstein aka Christopher Deck, offers you some pictures and even detailed instructions.

So you have no more excuses not to bring out your set 7957 Sith Nightspeeder of the cupboard where it must undoubtedly be carefully stored and give it a little interest ...

Lego santa yoda

You have probably already visited the site legosantayoda.com, but you might have missed the main point of this mini-site.

In addition to the contest which will allow Americans (and only them, don't think about why) to win many prizes, you can make your contribution to the charitable effort  Toys for tots by sending e-cards to family, friends, or people you don't know but would like to spam by doing a good deed.

So, since it's Sunday and you are surfing aimlessly on the global web, take a few minutes to send several virtual cards and help bring some happiness to underprivileged kids. For each card sent, LEGO agrees to give a toy back. The gauge doesn't go up very quickly, it's up to you to make it go even higher.
