LEGO Super heroes Marvel: 30162 Quinjet - 30163 Thor and the Cosmic Cube - 30165 Hawkeye

This year, LEGO decided that it was necessary to sell or offer a bag to bait the barge which is not yet ready to spend its money in the bigger boxes. After the two sachets LEGO Super Heroes DC Universe et the Hulk promotional figure, here are three new Marvel-themed polybags: 30162 Quinjet30163 Thor and the Cosmic Cube et 30165 Hawkeye...

On the menu, therefore, a mini Quinjet which seems very successful, Thor's minifigure with his hammer and Hawkeye with an equipment rack. Obviously, you will have to go to the checkout on Bricklink to get them ...

LEGO Super Heroes Marvel - Hulk Polybag

This is the first visual of this promotional bag (5000022) which contains a classic minifig representing the Hulk. The minifig is nice, and it will delight all those who are a little disappointed with the large minifigure that LEGO provides us in the set 6868 Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout.

Still no information on the availability in France of this bag, but we already know that it will be offered from May 16 to 31 in Germany and Great Britain for 55 € of purchases. this offer should therefore logically take place with us on the same dates. If in doubt, do not rush to bricklink where the sachet has already made a brief appearance before disappearing ...

LEGO Star Wars 6005188 Darth Maul

We had almost forgotten this Darth Maul in a bag distributed during the New York Toy Fair 2012 and that some mistakenly believed to have been drawn in a very limited series as is the case for the minifigs of Captain America and Iron Man.

This pouch is now available on Bricklink from a vendor in Eastern Europe (Czech Republic) for $ 30. To be honest, I ordered one. Not that I think this bag is so exclusive that it will be difficult to find, but as they say, better to hold on than to run.

I remain convinced that we will see this set again during a promotion (May the Fourth?) Or at an upcoming show. But if you're ready to spend $ 22, head to the Bricklink Wasserman Shop.

Chrome Darth Vader, Chrome Gold C-3PO, Chrome Stormtrooper, White Boba Fett & Shadow ARF Trooper

Come on, a little rumor that comes to us from Brickset forum where flump6523 is teasing on the next promotional offer of the now traditional May the fourth be with you... In 2011 we were entitled to a polybag with the Shadow ARF Trooper who had unleashed passions ...

On this forum, we therefore learn that the exclusive minifigure should be chrome. So far, so good. We also learn that the eyes of this minifigure will be orange. And speculation is rife: A reissue of the chrome C-3PO? a chrome Ewok? Difficult to distinguish between the sybinic messages of flump6523 and the expectations of each other which become realities as and when the responses to this topic ...

A chrome C-3PO, why not ... The one printed in 10.000 copies and inserted randomly in sets marketed in the United States in 2007 sells more € 200 on Bricklink currently. A new version would not necessarily lower its cost, especially because of the bag which is almost as valuable as the minifigure itself but would allow more collectors to add this minifigure to their collection.

Minifigs in version Chrome become recurrent at LEGO, Darth Vader (4547551), Stormtrooper (2853590), C-3PO (sw158), so many characters who were entitled to a Luxury version and who are very popular with collectors.

A chrome Ewok? why not ... But it is not yet the year ofEpisode VI: Return of the Jedi in 3D ... Yet the decryption of the topic in question tilts the scales in favor of the shiny teddy bear ... Wait and see, I think we will quickly have the answer to the usual question: What will LEGO offer us for the traditional May 4th promo?

Darth Maul Returns Custom Minifig - Green Pea Toys

In view of the astronomical prices reached on eBay by the Darth Maul distributed at the New York Toy Fair 2012, I decided ... to wait. This bagged minifig has sold for up to $ 500 ...

In the meantime, I didn't want to stay frustrated that I didn't have a Darth Maul version returning in The Clone Wars and I got the custom of Green Pea Toys I offer you here a photo taken at the moment. It's better than nothing and above all it's much cheaper ....
