A more precise idea of ​​the Savage Opress minifig

28/01/2011 - 00:14 Lego news
oppressWell, as we do with what we have, we can be satisfied with this visual of the new minifigure of Savage Opress which is unlocked on the site http://legostarwars.com/ by typing enter after the two loading steps and by entering the following secret code OPPRESSIVEMAUL.

If we consider that the other virtual characters are very close to their plastic version, this visual takes all its interest.

Note the handle of the lightsaber which seems different from the models we know.

This minifigure will be delivered in the 7957 Dathomir Speeder set which is due out in June 2011.

News from the London Toy Fair

27/01/2011 - 23:11 Lego news
2011Brickset was at the London Toy Fair 2011, and publishes an interesting account of their visit to the LEGO stand.
Regarding the products of the expected Star Wars range, no scoop.The advent calendar is confirmed and should be full of surprises, with among others several mini models and 8 minifigs including a new one, and the next sets that everyone has déjà vu should live up to expectations.
According to Brickset, the new Sebulba and Watto minifigs have been reinterpreted quite well (It's not that hard for Sebulba, the existing minifig being just awful), and the pods have been widely revised and improved. The new minifigs by Darth Maul and Savage Opress are a priori successful, but the new Millenium Falcon seems to have disappointed (perhaps too close to 4504).

In short, nothing new, no images, but it's always good to have the impressions of people who have seen (with their eyes seen ...) the next sets.

MOC LM-432 Crab Droid by Brickartist

27/01/2011 - 22:27 MOCs
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.
