If you don't know this site yet, you need to find it urgently. The Legion of Minifigs is the work of a web designer fan of comics who, when he learned to use the Maya modeling software, launched into the reproduction of a minifig.

It was then that he began to model superhero minifigs for a bluffing result that is really worth a look.

Impossible to resist the temptation to draw a parallel with the range Lego super heroes just officially announced when we discover on this site the many minifigs of the DC or Marvel universe.

Did LEGO take inspiration from the creations of Legion of Minifigs? Maybe ... or not.
But given the quality of the interpretation of each superhero by this web designer, I would almost want LEGO to be very inspired by it.
We would thus have the assurance of obtaining in 2012 well thought out minifigs and respecting the universe of super heroes that we all know.

Do not wait, go to this address: The Legion of Minifigs to discover more than 150 original creations in the universe of the Avengers, the X-Men or the Fantastic Four.

It is FBTB which releases the first shots of the exclusive set available at Comic Con in San Diego, and this is a special edition of the 7958 Star Wars Advent Calendar set.

In fact, this is the definitive set as we have known it for a few weeks already, delivered in a packaging of the most beautiful effect reproducing a package sent by Santa Claus from the North Pole. An exclusive numbered illustration sheet is also included.

This edition is limited to 1000 copies and each set is numbered. Sold for $ 50, and the quantity is limited to two copies per person per transaction, but apparently it is possible to make multiple purchases with a little patience and by getting back in the queue.

There is no doubt that this set will be found in a few hours on eBay and Bricklink at a prohibitive price.

The special episode teaser LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace which will air on July 22 on Cartoon Network is available. The quality of the animation is exceptional and the characters speak unlike what we have been used to with video games released so far.
This promises us some tasty dialogue and a good time as long as we manage to get hold of this animated short which should not be released in France for the moment. In the meantime, enjoy these few seconds of images ....

It is Legoboy Productions which offers us a detailed 15-minute review (in English) and video of the set 7879 Hoth Echo Base. If you don't understand everything, you can still take advantage of the close-ups on this set and its minifigs to get an idea. Every aspect of playability, conception, design is discussed and commented on. 

For all those who are interested and have enough patience, Legoboy Productions offers on his Youtube channel a slew of video reviews of the most recent sets in the Star Wars range.

On the occasion of Comic Con 2011, LEGO is offering 21 copies of the new Green Lantern minifig to the lucky ones on July 1500.

For July 22, it will be the turn of the new Batman minifigure to be put into play.

Each minifig is offered on a collector's cardboard support congratulating the winner and encouraging him to use the minifig by staging it to participate in the competition organized until the end of December 2011 and about which I was telling you here.

I am really annoyed that this type of event only takes place in the United States. LEGO is a European company and we are hardly ever entitled to exclusive or limited edition products.

As with the exclusive set, we will have to monitor eBay and Bricklink in a few hours to be able to invest in these limited editions.
