We suspected it a little and we expected it despite all the rumors circulating about the next exclusive minifig that would be delivered with the LEGO® Star Wars Character Encyclopedia book: Han Solo is therefore part of the "Celebration" version. "with his medal.

Logical choice on the part of the editor DK, who will disappoint some but which will delight all those who wished to be able to form the essential Luke / Han Solo pair in this "Celebration" version.

The book is announced as soon available (October 03, 2011 according to the product sheet) on Amazon.fr for 13.41 € in this version et 16.52 € in another version (I don't really see any difference between the two).
Hurry, the break will undoubtedly be almost immediate and for many weeks before this book is found on eBay at rates bordering on scam .....

For once a talented MOCeur offers something other than ships and other flying or rolling devices, I had to talk about it here. Legostein aka Christopher Deck, who you already know if you follow this blog, offers us two iconic buildings from the Star Wars saga.

We first find the Jedi temple (See the Wikia file), headquarters of the Jedi Order, where the training rooms, libraries and dormitories of young Jedi apprentices are located.
In the end, Legostein succeeds in giving shape to this temple with a reduced scale that does not detract from the immediately recognizable appearance of the building.
You can download the instructions in pdf format directly from Hoth Bricks at this address: Jedi Temple Instructions (pdf).

Legostein also offers us its version of Yavin Temple 4 also known as the Massassi Temple which was once a construction in honor of Sith Naga Sadow before becoming a base of the Rebel Alliance on the run after the evacuation of Dantooine later known as Yavin Base ou Basic One (See the Wikia file).

Once again Legostein produces a temple that is faithful to the different representations that we know of this building and adds an ingenious mini X-Wing.

For once, it is an original and unique MOC that offers Aleksei stetskii (See his flickr gallery) with this prototype Y-Wing Snowspeeder. 

It is indeed a machine designed by Joe Johnston taking the basis of a Y-Wing Starfighter BTL-A4 for the Battle of Hoth but which ultimately never joined the ranks of the rebels, the T-47 Snowspeeder having been preferred to him.

It should be noted that the same Joe Johnston is at the origin of the design of the armor and the equipment of a certain Boba Fett, design based on the first drafts of the concept of the one who will become Darth Vader.

Aleksei Stetskii was inspired by these sketches to achieve a faithful and homogeneous MOC of this never produced machine. The cannons placed on the outer edges of the craft and the air inlets at the rear of the cockpit are perfectly reproduced.

 

Once again, WhiteFang is no exception to tradition with its review in pictures, humor and humor of the series 5 of collectible minifigures.

Expected in volume for September with us, this series is proving to be as pleasant as the first 4 and WhiteFang mentions that he got 3 complete sets of 16 minifigs in his box.

In addition, the bags of this new series no longer contain additional parts as was the case in the past with in particular the series 3.

In short, meet without waiting on the dedicated topic at Eurobricks to admire these new minifigs in pictures.

This is not a recent MOC, but as the Executor or Super Star Destroyer is currently in the spotlight, it was necessary to present to you this achievement of Robo man dating from 2009 .....

We will note the level of detail for a MOC on this scale and we will appreciate the overall finish of this MOC which even inherited an extremely well made underside.

In short, go to Robo Man's MOCpages gallery and console yourself with this MOC while waiting to be able to order your Executor in official version ....
