Green Machin Mobile by LEGOmaniac

He hesitates, he doubts, he doesn't know what to do anymore .... Help Legomaniac to choose which vehicle he must present in the competition wheels of justice on FBTB.

For me, the choice is quickly made, model 2, slightly modified version of the model I was telling you about here is the one who must win this contest. Its retro-futuristic aspect makes it much more attractive than the slightly too Hot Wheels Model 1 for my taste.

Meeting on LEGOmaniac flickr gallery and vote for your favorite model (So 2) ....

Do you still have time today? It is raining ? So here's who to take care of a bit.

Below are 5 bonus models to build from sets from the 2011 range.

Click on the visuals below to download the instructions in pdf format. They're hosted directly at Hoth Bricks, so you'll be sure to find them later, even if LEGO removes them from its server.

Jedi Transportation 

We start with the Jedi Transportation, rather simplistic, that you can build with the parts of the set 7931 Jedi T-6 Shuttle.

Bounty Hunter Assault Skimmer

We continue with a more interesting model: The Bounty Hunter Assault Skimmer, which you can assemble with the parts of the set 7930 Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship.

Rebel Medical Transport

Now here is the Rebel Medical Transport, based on the set 7879 Hoth Echo Base, which deserves that we do something other than the base informs that it represents ...

Republic Rapid Assault Vehicle

You can build this Republic Rapid Assault Vehicle by combining the parts of the sets 7931 Jedi T-6 Shuttle et 7915 Imperial V-Wing Starfighter. Okay, I'll grant you, the end result is still very average, but this bonus model can give you some ideas for your future MOCs if you lack inspiration.

Imperial Bladewing

And we end with this bonus model based on the parts of the set 7915 Imperial V-Wing Starfighter. A nice, simple little ship that the little ones can assemble in a few minutes.

As you will have understood, these are not very elaborate alternative models here, but rather small machines, pretexts to bring out your sets and spend a few minutes creating something else with them.

Good Sunday !

9493 X-Wing Starfighter

Well, the title is undoubtedly a bit touting, and we only see a few seconds the X-Wing of the 2012 set 9493 X-Wing Starfighter.

But this LEGO Build Together video is constructed well enough that I urge you to waste 30 seconds of your day.

Here are close-up photos of three minifigs that we will be entitled to in 2012. To find out where they come from, read this article on Brick Heroes.

C-3PO - 9490 Droid Escape

This minifig of C-3PO will be available in the set 9490 Droid Escape. The screen printing is really successful, and C-3PO is everything in visible cables after landing the escape pod on Tatooine.

9491 Geonosian Cannon

Here is the Geonosian Zombie, and the Geonosian Warrior that will be delivered in the set 9491 Geonosian Cannon. Once again, the silkscreen is exceptional, These two minifigs are superb and they will take the pill out of the wacky cannon of this set.

Note that the Warrior is not new, we already had it in 2011 in the set 7959 Geonosian Starfighter.

Definitely, Mexico is AFOL's paradise: Again a mexican seller which offers many minifigs on eBay among which those below belonging to the Superheroes 2012 range and which should not be available until next January. We can say what we want, but Mexico, I already like it .....

More seriously, we thus discover in detail some key minifigs of this new range.

Batman - 6860 Batcave

Here is the Batman that will be delivered in the set 6860 Batcave. The minifig is unpublished is in the spirit of the one released in 2007 in the sets 7786 et 7787. It matches the costume of Batman in the animated series Batman The Brave and the Bold broadcast in the USA since 2008 and in France since 2009 under the title Batman Alliance of Heroes.

This version of the costume faithful to the comic version of the 70s is available in the game Batman Arkham City.

Robin - 6860 Batcave

Above Robin's minifigure which will also be distributed in set 6860 Batcave. This is Jason Peter Todd, the second Robin to assist Batman in his fight against crime. In short, he died and then rose again. Or it is also about Tim Drake or Dick Grayson, in short we do not know anything, all the versions contradict each other.

This version of the costume is the one available as Tim Drake Robin Pack  alternative in the game Batman Arkham City.

Batman - 6863 Batman vs. The Joker

This version of Batman will at least be delivered in the set 6863 Batman vs. The Joker and in video games Lego batman 2, difficult to confirm for other sets, the visuals are of poor quality. 

LEGO Superheroes 2012 - The Riddler

The mysterious Riddler minifigure will not be in a set from the first wave of sets. The color of the hat leaves me doubtful. I've always known the Riddler with a green hat in the comic book version. but it exists other toys where the Riddler is shown with a gray hat adorned with a purple question mark.
