The info comes from the blog All About Bricks, generally reliable and very knowledgeable. The person who runs this blog seems to have a special relationship with LEGO, and I sometimes even wonder if ...

In short, this blog announces the end of the LEGO Games range as well as the cancellation of the next three boxes initially planned for this year and presented with great fanfare at the last Toy Fair: 50003 Batman, 50004 Story Mixer et 50006 Legends of Chima. The box 50011 The Battle of Helm's Deep, also expected this year, is not mentioned in the article published on the blog.

The choice to stop this range of board games which allow short games and whose rules are accessible to the youngest would be due to a significant drop in sales.

Yet different sources confirm that some of these new references have been seen on sale in several stores, especially in Germany.

For its part, amazon had posted these references online before removing them a few weeks ago. But this was also the case for all the novelties of the second half of the year, no doubt put online too early by the juggernaut of online sales.

This information has not yet been officially confirmed by LEGO, so it is advisable to wait for a possible announcement from the manufacturer.

For my part, I only bought a few licensed boxes as the references 3920 The Hobbit et 3866 Battle of Hoth to add them to my collection more than to play with. I do know, however, that my son regularly plays with a friend of his with the box 3856 Ninjago. I also know to see her recurrently in birthday snacks as the reference 3844 Creationary is undoubtedly one of the bestsellers in the prolific range developed by LEGO.

And you, do you regularly play with these board games?

A quick point on the more or less confirmed rumors of the moment gleaned from the forums on which usually intervene those who know more than they want to say, but who still have trouble holding their tongue:

The exclusive minifig of the usual promotion of May 4 and 5 (May the 4th be with you) would be an umpteenth version of Han Solo taken from Episode V (The Empire Strikes Back). It would be a variant of a minifigure already released in a set.

As for the 10236 Ewok Village set which we have been talking about for a few months, nothing new except that it does not contain AT-STs or Imperial troops. Advertised at $ 200, it will undoubtedly be a decent sized playset with trees of all kinds, catapults galore and wooden bridges similar to those in the set. LEGO The Hobbit 79010 The Goblin King Battle.

For the trouble, I put you below Omar Ovalle's MOC reproducing the throne of C-3PO among the Ewoks.

A guy who knows a guy saw a catalog he shouldn't have seen and vaguely remembered the different minifigs that will come with some 2013 sets.

This list, posted on Eurobricks, is only a reflection of what this person reported, and possible errors are to be expected:

75015 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid: Jango Fett, 2 Clones.
75016 Homing Spider Droid: A Jedi with Zabrak's Horns (Eeth Koth, Agen Kolar?), Clones, Battle Droids.
75017 Duel on Geonosis: Yoda, Dooku, Droid, Poggle the Lesser (Archduke of Geonosis).
75018 JEK-14's Stealth Starfighter: 3 Clones, Droid.
75019 AT-TE: Mace Windu, Coleman Trebor, 1 Clone, 1 Battle Droid.
75020 Jabba's Sail Barge: Jabba, Slave Leia, R2-D2, Max Rebo, Nikto Guard, Ree-Yees.
75021 Republic Gunship: Obi-Wan, Anakin, Padme, 2 Clones, Battle Droid.
75022 Mandolorian Speeder: Darth Maul, 2 Mandalorians (Bo Katan?).
75023 Advent Calender 2013: Young boba.

The info comes to us this time from the Spanish forum of HispaLUG on which a user, who assures that his source is reliable, posted a list of LEGO Star Wars sets a priori planned for the second half of 2013 with their respective references:

75015 Corporate Alliance Droid
75016 Homing Spider Droid
75017 Yoda vs Count Dooku (Duel on Geonosis at Brickipedia)
75018 Yoda Chronicle (JEK-14's Stealth Starfighter at Brickipedia)
75019 AT-TE
75020 Jabba's Sail Barge
75021 Republic Gunship
75022 Mandalorian Speeder

These references further confirm the rumors circulating about a Swedish forum with in particular the possible remakes of the AT-TE, the Jabba's Sail Barge and the Republic Gunship.

This is from the forum of swebrick.se What does the info come to us? One of the members of this Swedish AFOL community claims to have had access to the retailer catalog for the second half of 2013 and provides some information on upcoming novelties in the LEGO Star Wars range.

As usual, this information is not verified and care should be taken.

The following would therefore be planned:

Une nouvelle Jabba's Sail Barge accompanied by 5 or six minifigs, the design of which would not a priori be better than that of the barge of the 6210 set released in 2006.

Un AT-TE relatively similar to the one we already know with the 7675 set released in 2008, accompanied by 5 or 6 minifigs

Un Republic Gunship also very close to the versions we already know with sets 7163 (released in 2002) and 7676 (released in 2008). It would be accompanied by 5 or 6 minifigs.
