_Tiler & Kaitimar Mini Batmobile - LEGO Cuusoo Project

You will tell yourself that I am becoming senile and that I repeat the same thing to you several times on the blog (Which must have really happened to me once or twice, in fact ...).

Well yes and no. This mini Batmobile, you have indeed already seen it here. It is that of _Tiler, based on the version of 2008 made at the time by Kaitimar.

But where it gets interesting is that the two brick artists got together to submit the craft on Cuusoo. Yes, I know, Cuusoo is wrong, and I think none the less. But a polybag with this Batmobile, admit that it already makes you salivate ...

So even if we will have to row to find 10.000 supporters, get the LEGO agreement for the second phase, and row again to see one day a bag produced with the parts to assemble this superb Batmobile, I remain optimistic and I tell myself that this project deserves your support and mine.

To support the initiative, it is here Mini Batmobile - Cuusoo.

LEGO Star Wars Polybags from Gacha Vending Machine

This week, I'm writing from Taiwan, I'm there for Computex, an international show bringing together computer hardware manufacturers.

Little wink with these images found on the flickr gallery of Katanaz, on which we discover the polybag 30059 MTT, seen in the animated series The Clone Wars and whose I spoke to you at the beginning of the year, which turns out to be quite successful.

The same Katanaz presents various polybags which are sold in Japan in distributors like those we know in France in gas stations or supermarkets. For 400 Yen, or just over € 4, each set is sold in a plastic capsule identifiable by the color of its shell. I would take advantage of my stay in Taiwan to try to find these capsules here, it is an original packaging and perfectly suited to these small sets.

6005188 Darth Maul

It's very nice all these promotions where we are flooded with chrome minifigs, miniature Hulks, various and varied bags, but there is one that everyone has put aside a little lately: the polybag 6005188 Darth Maul

And for good reason, it was still sold for almost 40 € recently on Bricklink, which is, let's face it, a bit excessive.

And good news, an English channel, SMYTHS, currently distributes this minifigure in its stores located in Great Britain and Ireland with any purchase of a set from the LEGO Star Wars range.

The effect was immediate, the starting price for a sachet containing Darth Maul fell less than 20 € and it should drop a bit further in the next few days ... before rising as usual.

In short, if you want one and don't want to take the Eurostar, now is the time to get it ...

30165 Hawkeye polybag

The word review is definitely used everywhere ... Reviews of minifigs, posters, boxes, bags, blurry photos ...

In short, here are some visuals of the bag 30165 Hawkeye with a minifigure and a pseudo-rack of weapons and accessories offered by Graysmith on Eurobricks.

The bag has indeed appeared in Sweden long before its worldwide availability, er American, and this will be an opportunity to get the Hawkeye minifigure at a lower cost and to see its price drop on Bricklink. So good ...

The bag is also available on Bricklink from Nordic sellers for a little less than 10 euros: 30165 Hawkeye.
