It's not a revolution, but LEGO released one more iPhone app after the catastrophic Lego photo, and the sorry Lego creationary.
This time we are entitled to LEGO Minifigure Collector, an application for iPhone / iPod (too bad for iPad users who will have to zoom in to use this application ...) whose sole purpose is to complete its collection of series 2 and 3 minifigures via a jackpot-type machine.
You start the machine, and if you manage to come across three parts (Head, bust, legs) of the same minifigure, it is added to your collection. Boring and repetitive, without any interest, but free.

Here it is finally finished, this T-47 AirSpeeder entirely designed using Technic elements.
 
Even if it is obvious that compromises had to be made to allow the assembly of the set, it must be admitted that the result is impressive.
To find out more and ask your questions to this MOCeur, go to this topic at Eurobricks.
 
Drakmin has also posted photos of the model under construction, and you will discover the final result of his MOC Technic X-Wing, just as impressive.

Are you looking for a specific set?
You can of course go to Brickset or one of the many sites listing the entire range of LEGO Star Wars sets released to date, but you can also, in a more fun way, use the base HOLO-BRICK from the LEGO site.
The research, interactive and nicely done, is possible by year, by reference of the set or by episode of the saga.

The cards are not very provided, but we still find the visuals of sets, the box and minifigs. The year of marketing and the number of pieces are also indicated.

Another new visual stamped "Preliminary" for the Star Wars advent calendar scheduled for late 2011.
We see the range of mini models that will be provided and the few minifigs included.
Note the ridiculous Yoda dressed as Santa Claus, presented as "Exclusive" ......
For the rest, the mini models are arbitrary, as usual with the LEGO advent calendars, except perhaps the Slave I and more ....
In short, this set will not revolutionize the genre, but we will still be satisfied to be able to have a calendar on a different theme from the usual City or Castle.

We suspected it but after all it could work.

Massively Multiplayer Online Gaming LEGO Universe is currently on sale at € 9.99 shipping included with 1 month of free online play.

Either LEGO wants to boost the subscriptions to its game, or it's a last-ditch fight before the merry-go-round comes to a complete stop.

I tried this game (only available in English) during the beta and after its official launch, and beyond the first few minutes, it's rather boring, neither beautiful, nor ugly, neither very alive, nor very brilliant.

 The passion for LEGO at its limits, and if I particularly like the LEGO series on consoles (Batman / Indy / SW / HP), there I did not hang at all.
Without getting too wet, I can tell you that the game will be free in June and the servers closed at the start of the school year .....
