You are probably saying to yourself: "But why is he talking to us about this promotion which does not concern us in France? ? "And you are not totally wrong.

Despite everything, this promotion will have an overall impact on the sets concerned, their availability to come on eBay ou bricklink and especially their price ....

No exciting new features on the program and the only Star Wars set has been available for a long time.

Here is the list of sets that will be offered by the tabloid The Sun from October 8, 2011 until October 15, 2011:

30053: Star Wars - Venator Class Republic Attack Cruiser
30111: Harry Potter - The Lab 
30024: Creator - Truck
30141: Alien Conquest - Jetpack (Free from LEGO in August 2011)
30121: Cars 2 - Gremlin
30082: NinjaGo - Ninja Training
30110: Harry Potter - Trolley

They are not necessarily the favorite superheroes of young and old, but they are still popular, especially thanks to to the film released in 2009 and which will have allowed many to discover this cohort of superheroes from a series of comics published in 1986 and 1987.

A series of rather well-made custom minifigs bringing together these six super heroes was on display at the BrickCon 2011.

If you haven't seen the movie, you can get it from Blu-ray and you can also find for just under 70 euros the complete comics that inspired the movie and the minifigs above.

It's a good start. uubergeek offers a custom minifigure of Black Widow aka Natasha Romanoff, agent of SHIELD whose role is played by Scarlett Johansson in the film IronMan 2 and who will also be present in the highly anticipated Avengers scheduled for 2012. the result is convincing as regards the costume, the main details are there and only the face would have deserved a little more attention.  Uubergeek explains on this subject having reused the face of his Supergirl custom while waiting to be able to produce a special version for this minifigure.

We hope to see custom Avengers-themed achievements more often in the future, as the cast of characters is large enough to offer plenty of possibilities.

Do you have talent, are you an inspired MOCeur and your friends say that your creations deserve to be marketed?

Rush on Cuusoo, the made in LEGO site which was until now reserved for the Japanese and which should allow you to showcase your creations and why not make money with them.

The principle is simple: You create an account, you submit your creation, you ask all the people you know, who know you, or even whom you do not know at all but who love your job to vote for you. As soon as you hit the 10.000 vote threshold, LEGO takes an interest in your work and decides whether your creation will go to market. If this is the case you get 1% of the net turnover achieved. Then the Caribbean, cocktails on the beach, etc ...

Remember, it is on this site that the famous submarine was designated  Shinkai 6500 become the set 21100 in February 2011. Another set has just been designated: This is the satellite Hayabusa which will also be marketed.

PS: But you already know all this if you follow Hoth Bricks I was telling you about it briefly in this article dedicated to Omar Ovalle's MOCs which are present on Cuusoo.

I'm not used to relaying official LEGO promotions, but I'm doing it this time around for two good reasons. The first is that VIP points are doubled for any purchase from an official LEGO store (You won't say if you find one in France ....), on the LEGO online shop or by phone. You therefore get 2 points for each euro spent over this period and for 100 points you get 5 euros reduction to be used on your next purchase.

The second reason I am talking about this promotion is the VIP program itself. Registration is FREE, you pay nothing, you simply check the box that offers you to join the VIP program and you will receive a nice plastic card making you a privileged one. 

I bring this clarification because when the set is announced 10230 mini modulars, LEGO mentioned that this set would be reserved for VIP members. You can therefore become VIP without costs or tedious registration, and you will be entitled to order this set. To find out more about the VIP program, it's on this page.

I forgot, in a great outpouring of generosity, LEGO is also offering you free entry to the LEGOLAND park of your choice. To download on this page.
