13/02/2011 - 22:56 Minifigure Series
series5 toyfairThe Complete Fifth Wave Collectible Minifigure Series was presented at Toy Fair 2011.
 
We can see the different characters and their accessories a little better.
 
Nothing to say, LEGO innovates and this 5th series is undoubtedly one of the best currently offered by the manufacturer.
 
 The bags will be blue, as indicated a few weeks ago.
The only question we can ask ourselves: Which minifig will be the subject of speculation in this series from the Bricklink and eBay dealers, as with the elf on the current 3 series ......

Toy Fair 2011: 7956 Ewok Attack

13/02/2011 - 20:14 Lego news
7956 ewok attackHere is a set that only deserves to be a battle pack for the set 8038 (The Battle of Endor).
Nothing brilliant, the new version speeder is ordinary and seen a hundred times, the tree / base is too small and badly dressed with its poor catapult and anemic foliage.
Minifigs are awful, definitely LEGO is having a hard time getting us out of Ewoks that don't look like chocolate bears. 
I know many collectors are fans of these little critters, but I still say their minifigure representation is way below what LEGO could have produced.
 
Another set which does not bring anything new and which serves as a pretext to provide three barely passable minifigs to undemanding collectors.

Toy Fair 2011: 7957 Sith Nightspeeder

13/02/2011 - 20:07 Lego news
7957 dathomir speederWe will quickly forget this set, which apart from the minfigis of Savage Opress and Asajj Ventress does not deserve our attention.

Opinions are divided on the presence of stickers or screen-printed parts.

We would almost come to hope for stickers, to be able to use the parts for something else .....

This speeder is just ridiculous and shapeless, and one wonders what Anakin is doing there.

We will wait until LEGO the balance on the shop to get it, before they are withdrawn, undoubtedly under the effect of the shame of having produced such a bad set. 
LEGO is definitely resting on its laurels and showing a lack of creativity. In this set, the vehicle is only a pretext to accompany the minifigs.
For comparison, I put below a view of the vehicle as seen in the series, we are far from this catastrophic interpretation by LEGO .....
