Si Lego cuusoo could be used for only one initiative, it would be this: A smart guy named sandro created a project which seems really interesting to me if not realistic, to obtain the re-edition by LEGO of the sheets of stickers from the UCS sets.
Not only do these stickers once applied have an unfortunate tendency to age very badly, but it should also be noted that very often a sticker is applied to two parts at the same time, thus preventing the disassembly of the set without forcing the destruction of said sticker.
You just have to take a look at Bricklink to see that the stickers from the UCS Star Wars sets are selling for a high price, my wallet still remembers:
The sticker sheet (10019stk01) for the 10019 LEGO Star Wars UCS Rebel Blockade Runner set retails between € 79 and € 138 ...
The identification sticker (10179stk01) for the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon 10179 set sells for between € 52 and € 93 ...
The sticker sheet (10129stk01) for the 10129 LEGO Star Wars UCS rebel SnowSpeeder set sells for over € 100 ...
The sticker sheet (7191stk01) for the 7191 LEGO Star Wars UCS X-Wing set retails between 175 and 250 € ...
These prices are clearly abusive, and are dissuasive even for the most collectors. hardcore of us. Here and there, a few initiatives aiming to offer high resolution scans of the rarest stickers have emerged. But these projects are often abandoned for lack of goodwill AFOLs ready to devote a few hours to them.
There remains the solution to have the necessary stickers printed via a photo development site or to print the necessary stickers on self-adhesive paper. But then they have to be cut out cleanly, which is not easy on some stickers like the circular ones from set 10019.
So, for my part, I support this project, which obviously has little chance of success. But this will be my way of protesting the Bricklink speculators.
Sometimes just a few pieces and a little consistency with the universe in question are enough to make a nice MOC without going into an overbidding of details that kill the spirit of the creation in question.
Wandering through the twists and turns of flickr, I came across this pretty Coruscant SportsCar that caught my eye with its simple lines, basic red color and no-frills or accessory overload design. With a few pieces judiciously used, The Capitán creates here a machine which is immediately assimilated by the fans to the so particular atmosphere of Coruscant with its speeders which cross between the illuminated buildings.
Some will find this machine simplistic, but I remain convinced that its simplicity is its strength. To see more, visit the flickr gallery of The Capitán, he presents in particular an X-Wing of his own which can also give rise to discussion.
In a competition, you have to know how to show talent but also originality to stand out from the competition. madLEGOman understood this well and his two entries for the Wheels of Justice contest organized by FBTB are original to say the least.
He therefore presents the BatKart and the LanternKart, two mini vehicles in the spirit of those of the video game Mario Kart.
If the Batkart leaves me doubtful by its forms and its stripped down side, I find the LanternKart very successful. The shape of this mini kart is consistent with the spirit of the game and despite its compactness, it can still accommodate a minifig.
To see more and find out how the Joker is artfully portrayed in this MOC, visit the flickr gallery by madLEGOman.
Still live from Mexico and Free market, local auction site, here are some minifigs from the LEGO Superheroes DC 2012 range already on sale.
We discover in particular the Joker and his Tommy Gun from the set 6863 Batwing Battle over Gotham City with his sidekick in the face of a clown armed to the teeth. Beautiful silkscreen print on the face of the henchman who wears a green and purple outfit that matches those of the Joker and his favorite gear.
In another ad, we see in detail the Batman of the set 6858 Catwoman Catcycle City Chase about which the discussion is going well now: Will he be entitled to a cape in addition to the Jetpack included in this set?
With all these images available, it becomes almost less exciting to wait for the release of new things. We will have seen everything in detail long before the appearance of sets on the shelves. Times are changing, and Mexicans are the new kings of the exclusive LEGO novelty this year ... No doubt until LEGO cleans up the workers at its new factory ....
Another quality MOC by Blake's Baericks. The scene reproduced is where Bilbo meets the hermit Beorn, a lonely guy who has the power to change into a bear. Note that the Swedish actor Mikael Persbrandt will play Beorn in Peter Jackson's film adaptation of the book Bilbo The Hobbit.
For this MOC it is Hagrid, his double, who takes over the role ....
We will appreciate the exceptional level of detail of this realization with in particular the tree trunk, the honeycomb and the luxuriant vegetation.
You can find more views, including many close-ups, of this MOC at the Brickshelf gallery or the MOCpages page by Blake's Baericks.
