Well this MOC, even if it is nice and properly made, is only a pretext to put a layer on one of the many modifications made by Georges Lucas to Blu-ray version from the Star Wars saga.

The MOCeur here tried to reconstruct the scene of the arrival of C-3PO and R2-D2 in front of the palace of Jabba The Hutt in theEpisode VI, and it did so while keeping the overall size reasonable.

Georges Lucas decided that the palace door was definitely not impressive enough in the original version and he integrated a door which becomes ridiculously large with great reinforcements of digital effects.

I'll let you watch the video below and see for yourself. Since Jabba The Hutt's palace is not an airport hangar, did this door have to be enlarged so much?

Here are two images sent by two of the winners of the book LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia brought into play via Hoth Bricks Facebook page.

MED who staged the two minifigs of Luke and Han Solo in Celebration version, and Maxime who poses with his copy. I take this news to thank all the fans of the Facebook page, and tell you that we will be doing this very soon with an operation on the Hoth Bricks page, but also on the Brick Heroes Facebook page...
Stick around, there will still be great things to gain ....

You are certainly familiar with CubeDudes. These cubic figures built using parts, popularized by Angus MacLane and sold during the San Diego Comic-Con 2010 and Celebration V in 2010.

The only problem is that these exclusive sets are selling for a high price in MISB version on Bricklink: From 70 to 260 € for the Comic Con 2010 set et from 70 to 300 € for the Celebration V set...

Since then, many MOCeurs have tried this technique with more or less success. A simple flickr search will convince you.

Moreover, if you are a fan of this type of construction, go to Angus MacLane's flickr gallery, You'll find your happiness. Personally, I find no charm in them, even if I readily recognize the creative aspect of the thing.

So as on Hoth Bricks, we always find you a solution, here is what to get your CubeDudes of Yoda, Anakin, Obi-Wan, R2-D2 and C-3PO at a lower cost:

Meeting on https://www.4kids.tv/papercraft, download the different models, arm yourself with a pair of scissors and a tube of glue and voila. You have your 5 CubeDudes, in paper certainly, but they are yours and without paying a euro.

To make your life easier, I even put the direct links to each character here: Anakin, Yoda, Obi-Wan, R2-D2 et C-3PO.

Thanks WHO ?

You have already seen the famous Death Star to hang on your tree for Christmas. This year, Chris McVeigh put the place back with this magnificent Millennium Falcon to hang from the branches of your tree.

And you can do it with ease thanks to the kindness of this MOCeur which offers instructions in excellent quality pdf format to download via the links below for these two creations:

Millennium Falcon - Instructions pdf

Death Star - Instructions pdf

It also offers on his website the list of essential parts for these two MOCs as well as the files in .lxf format. You will also find some other very interesting Christmas themed creations.

Live from Mexico, the other land of the LEGO, here are some more images of the minifigs of 2012. We discover here different versions of Batman, including one equipped with the jetpack, which will probably be delivered in the set 6860 Batcave. On these two visuals we also discover some of the weapons with which our super heroes will be equipped. Harley Quinn and the Joker will feature Tommy Guns and Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn's best friend, sports a poisonous vegetation accessory.

 The announcements of the sale of these minifigs are multiplying like hot cakes, and I find astonishing the lack of reaction from LEGO, much more quick to harass me with threatening messages when I post stamped images. Confidential ou preliminary on my blogs ....

These images have already been around the world, and these minifigs sold alone are likely to come from a manufacturing unit. None of the sets announced for 2012 are currently offered for sale on eBay ou Free market. It is probably easier to leave a factory with a few minifigs in your pockets, than to leave with a big box under your arm ...
