LEGO Star Wars 77904 Nebulon B-Frigate

Today we will briefly talk about the LEGO Star Wars set 77904 Nebulon B-Frigate, a small box initially planned for San Diego Comic Con 2020 and which is for sale on Amazon following the cancellation of the convention.

Several hundred copies of this box of 459 pieces had already been put on sale (product link at this address) at Amazon USA in mid-October with a shipping date announced for November 18th, but it seems that this is a false start and that the set will be "officially" on sale soon, still at Amazon USA. We know that this box is also available in some LEGO stores in Discovery Centers established in the USA, which explains the availability of some copies on eBay.

For those who are interested, know that it is possible to order from France at Amazon USA even for products indicated as undeliverable elsewhere than in the United States. All you have to do is create an account on a forwarding service which provides you with an address in the USA and which then takes care of returning the package to you against payment of transport and a few additional costs.

I used for example the services of Shipito.com to send me a copy of the LEGO Marvel set 77905 Taskmaster's Ambush listed on Amazon USA a few days ago. Note that the set 77906 Wonder Woman, exclusive to the DC Fandome 2020 virtual convention, is also offered at a reasonable price at Amazon USA via marketplace resellers whose products are shipped by Amazon.

If the adventure tempts you and you prefer to pay for a reshipment service rather than fattening the resellers on the secondary market, watch for the set to go live. 77904 Nebulon B-Frigate via the LEGO Star Wars section of Amazon.com or by performing a search on the reference of the set. The actual availability of the set should not last more than a few minutes, dealers and other speculators will be on the spot as well.

LEGO Harry Potter 30628 The Monster Book of Monsters

We will briefly talk again today about the LEGO Harry Potter set 30628 The Monster Book of Monsters with the upload by LEGO of some official visuals and instruction booklet in PDF format of this product which should soon be offered on condition of purchase on the official online store.

In the box, enough to assemble a reproduction of the edgy book which makes its first appearance in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The construction is equipped with a mechanism that sets the book in motion when moving and it is accompanied by a minifig of Draco Malfoy whose torso is not unique or exclusive. The element does indeed appear in sets 75954 Hogwarts Great Hall (2018) et 40419 Hogwarts Students (2020)

For those who would like to try to assemble the book (without the countless stickers), the instruction booklet in PDF format can be downloaded at this address.

LEGO Star Wars 5006363 Star Wars Han Solo Keychain

LEGO being kind enough to send a copy of the LEGO Star Wars keychain 5006363 Star Wars Han Solo Keychain to all the blogs and sites on the planet, we can therefore take a closer look at this promotional product, which is currently offered from € 100 of purchase in products from the LEGO Star Wars range.

For those who have not yet understood it, this key ring delivered in a small sober but elegant box is made of a non-magnetic metal and it is relatively heavy: 60 grams on the scale. There is also no indication on the back of the packaging of the exact composition of the material or alloy used.

The object takes the design of the piece available in half a dozen sets since 2010, the reference of which is 75243 Slave I - 20th Anniversary Edition marketed in 2019 to mark the 20th anniversary of the LEGO Star Wars range, but it is more compact than the part in question and it is not on the minifig scale. The side handles which allowed a minifig to "transport" Han Solo in its carbonite block disappear on this version in favor of a ring and a chain.

It should be noted that this is not a product manufactured directly by LEGO, this keychain is a licensed product made in China by the company RDP, a structure specializing in the design and manufacture of derivative products that works for many brands.

I would have preferred an exact reproduction of the plastic carbonite block delivered by LEGO in some sets instead of a key ring too collector's item to be used for its primary function, but for once a gift given to members of the VIP program is a little creative, we won't complain too much.

If you are interested in this derivative product, know that you must currently spend at least € 100 on products from the LEGO Star Wars range on the official online store to get it.

Note: The product shown here, supplied by LEGO, is as usual in play. Deadline fixed at November 10, 2020 next at 23pm.

Update : The winner was drawn and was notified by email, his nickname is indicated below. Without a response from him to my request for contact details within 5 days, a new winner will be drawn.
