At this price, you will still have to put your hands in the dough. But beyond the good idea of ​​Brook, an American military woman who blogs about DIY and various and varied tips, I retain the main motivation surrounding the manufacture of this display.

Brook decided to make a storage rack for his son's minifigs. Using a repainted, black-dressed golf ball display, she created a wall-mounted storage space to match her six-year-old. So he can enjoy his minifigs, play with them and then display them on this frame attached to the wall.

The making-off of this nice display and kid-friendly can be seen on Brook's blog.

Because minifigs are also and above all for children ...

OK, this is probably not the MOC of the year, but at least we see that its designer has put his heart into it. Here is a BatJavelin, fictitious machine in the Batman universe, very complex and loaded with features.

What interests me in this MOC, it is not so much the finish as the respect by the MOCeur of the codes of the Batman range of 2006/2008. This machine has a family resemblance with the Bat-tank of the set 7787 The Bat-Tank: The Riddler and Bane's Hideout released in 2007, the Bat-boat of the set 7780 The Batboat: Hunt for Killer Croc released in 2006 or the Batwing of the set 7782 The Batwing: The Joker's Aerial Assault also released in 2006.
We find the visible studs, the small touches of yellow and red characteristic of the Batman sets concerned and a design which ultimately still has its charm despite the evolution over the years of the techniques used by the MOCeurs.

In short, a little bit of nostalgia. Anyway, as the old people say, it was always better before ...

As I repeat at length of article, I am not particularly a fan of the creations under LEGO Digital Designer. But from time to time, a virtual MOC amazes me and this time I got caught like a bruise.

By taking a quick glance on the gallery of this MOCeur, I came across this image. I am always attracted to large amounts of well-aligned Stormtroopers ...
I looked probably too quickly and I thought I saw a very real MOC, retouched certainly but featuring real minifigs.

This is obviously not the case and this MOC is all that there is more virtual. But the interesting thing here is that the MOCeur publishes a kind of making-off in pictures of this creation. To see how he got this result in LDD, Photoshop and Lightroom, go to his flickr gallery.

Don't laugh, everyone gets screwed ...

If you frequent Eurobricks regularly, you know Bane. Her Hilarious Shadow ARF Trooper comic review  I liked it and I told you about it on Hoth Bricks a few months ago.

But his blog is home to a few other well-felt comics, and the latest titled "Turnaround"is even available in French. Freely inspired by the world of Star Wars: Dark Times, this comic is nicely crafted with an original staging and a nice pitch.

If you read English, don't hesitate to go through section where are the comics White Boba Strips, or Imperial Holovision. This will be an opportunity to be able to discover carefully produced comics.

If you read German, Bane offers some additional comics which are not [yet] translated into French in this section of his blog.

I am personally a fan of minifig scenes in the form of comics, as long as the result is pleasant to see and read. I much prefer this way of proposing a story to a bad brickfilm or a simple vaguely artistic cliché like you see dozens of them a day on flickr. 

If you have some time to spare, take a walk on the Brick Comic Network. You will find some good, some not so good, some very bad, but there are some pearls.

We continue with our mexican sellers which offer us beautiful photos of the minifigs that have not yet been officially released on the market and that are already flooding Free market, sort of Mexican eBay.

Today it's Harley Quinn's turn to make her appearance. the minifig is successful, and we have no idea what set it will be in. The look on the new double-sided face has been improved compared to the one on the minifigure of the set 7886 The Batcycle: Harley Quinn's Hammer Truck released in 2008.

We also find on this Mexican site an announcement with the minifigs below, most of which we already know. In the center, the minifigure of Lex Luthor which will be delivered in the set 6862 Superman vs. Lex Luthor.

This invasion of minifigs is still suspicious. Some people talk about the possibility of counterfeits, which I doubt, and I would rather go for employees of the new LEGO factory in Monterey who supplement their end of the month with these sales. After all, Mexico is not known to be a country where the rules are strictly followed ....
