Seen on the Youtube channel HKTOYSRUS, an advertisement for the 2011 sets where the Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship (The awful green thing), and the T-6 Jedi Shuttle (The even more awful white and red thing) are superbly staged in this short video released in stores Toys "R" Us of Hong Kong.

seen on Euro Bricks, a very simple but effective MOC by Brickartist, the LM-432 Crab Droid seen in the Clone Wars series and in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. If you want my opinion, you add a jedi minifig, a box around and everything goes easily for 9 euros .....
Below is the MOC and an image from Wookieepedia.

Everyone who follows TED knows the principle. Ideas, "TEDTalks", a kind of brief and concise presentation of a fact, an idea, a theory, an experience by a speaker.
Hillel Cooperman tackles the subject of LEGOs in a hilarious TEDTalk to take first, second or even third degree, it's up to you.
The video is subtitled in French (Click on "View subtitles"), but if you are sufficiently versed in English, the sound will be enough for you to understand the subtleties of this TEDTalk.

mini countryThe Los Angeles Times publishes a cool gallery of photos of the models that will be on display at Legoland California.

You see several models from different angles, and I see the purists from here starting to denigrate these constructions for their crass side.

I remind you, for all intents and purposes, that this is not a MOCs competition, but an exhibition intended to be seen from a certain distance and in a certain context by visitors who are not necessarily AFOLs obsessed with details. .

In short, make up your mind by going to this page: Photo gallery: Star Wars Lego models at Legoland California.

While hanging out on Youtube, I stopped for a moment on this video of the gameplay of the highly anticipated game (by me anyway) LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars.

We see a lot of famous sets from the CW range perfectly reproduced in the game, and the general graphics have finally evolved, with in particular a massive use of lighting effects. The new characters / minifigs of the CW range are also in the game. .

A few comments from the development team convinced me that this game, which should be released in February, will keep me hooked for long hours with my son in front of the TV.

If you have a few minutes to spare, look for the sets you own in these pictures, you will surely find some cool diorama ideas ...
