It is Gamestop.de which announces the availability in Europe, in any case in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, of the exclusive Iron Patriot minifigure (Polybag with the reference 30168) which will be free with any order of the XBOX 360 version of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes game. The official release date of the game is set for October 18, 2013.

No mention of the other versions of the game (PS3, PC, Nintendo, etc ...), but it's a safe bet that the offer will also be valid on these supports. There is no logical reason to exclusively favor the XBOX 360 version at the expense of other consoles.

We will have to follow very closely the announcements of French merchants such as micromania.fr ou amazon.fr in the coming weeks, hoping that the offer will also be valid in our regions.

European availability of this minifig will guarantee us good availability on eBay or Bricklink in the worst case.

To be continued...

Let's go for the offer (valid until June 30, but beware of out of stock ...) on the Lego shop allowing to obtain the polybag 5001623 containing the minifig of Jor-El for any order of a minimum of 55 €.

The offer can be combined with the one allowing you to obtain the TMNT Splinter keychain (LEGO reference 850838) from € 30 of purchase and delivery is free from € 55 of purchase until August 31, 2013.

In the end, you pay full price for the set (s) you order, but you get two nice gifts and you don't pay the shipping costs.  

I took a set that allows me to reach the minimum necessary, just to be delighted with the delivery by noting that LEGO has offered me something ...

For the rest of the boxes that I intend to acquire, I will go order elsewhere, we must not exaggerate ...

This is now confirmed via the Lego store calendar of the month of June posted by LEGO: The polybag 5001623 LEGO Super Heroes Man of Steel Jor-El will be offered from June 1 to 30 from 55 € of purchase on the LEGO Shop or in a LEGO Store and this without limit of range.

Another opportunity to get a cheap and eagerly awaited polybag without having to pay a high price on eBay or Bricklink. A gift is always a pleasure ...

It should also be noted that on Saturday, June 15, a miniature model of Superman to build at the LEGO Store will be offered to customers in the limit of 150 copies. First come, first served...

An interesting info for our Belgian and border friends: The Belgian brand Dreamland (and in particular the Leers store) offers the DVD version The Empire Strikes Ort without the minifig of Darth Vader proudly displaying his medal, but in bundle with two LEGO Star Wars polybags released in 2013 to choose from: 30243 Umbaran MHC ou 30241 Pre Vizsla's Mandalorian Fighter.

This original alternative to the DVD + minifig version is currently available at the unbeatable price of € 9.90.

It's free from 30 € of purchase and it's always better than nothing: The 30167 Iron Man vs Fighting Drone polybag is offered for any order on the LEGO Shop without range restriction, from May 16 to 31, 2013 ( or while stocks last).

In addition, delivery is free from 55 € of purchase and this until August 31, 2013.

To be honest, I ordered to benefit from this free polybag. I obviously know that it is possible to find the same sets cheaper elsewhere, but I'm a little tired of paying third-party sellers for bags offered by LEGO and getting something free every now and then makes me feel good ...

Small clarification: The minifig of the polybag 30167 Iron Man vs Fighting Drone is not new, it is that of the set 6867 Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape released in 2012.
