76056 Rescue from Ra's al Ghul

While nothing official has yet filtered through the DC Comics set 76056 Rescue from Ra's al Ghul Expected for this summer, we still have good quality visuals of the Ra's al Ghul minifigure as it should appear in this box.

This minifigure will obviously be delivered with a pad printed head on both sides: A face for the "old man" Ra's al Ghul and a face after the passage of the gentleman in the Lazarus Pit [Well of Lazarus].

The two women the different rumors available announce the presence of Batman [Desert Suit], Talia al Ghul and Jason Todd (Robin) in this set with a small vehicle, a Lazarus well and a prison cell, all for a public price that should be around $ 40 ...

71040 Disney's Cinderella Castle

The series of 18 minifigs to collect with Mickey, his friends and a few other Disney / Pixar heroes may ultimately just be a great lead-in for all fans of the Disney universe to get ready to checkout again next September.

We are talking now from an exclusive set with, in the box, the castle of Cinderella and some minifigs that would complete the inventory of the 71012 series.

We do not know for the moment much concrete about this set except that it would possibly be a reproduction of the castle present in the park. Walt Disney World Resort (Orlando, Florida), so as usual all hopes are high. At the risk of being, as is often the case with this type of rumors on which everyone goes about their assumptions / wishes / dreams, disappointed by the final result of the set 71040 Disney's Cinderella Castle and the public price of the thing ... Those who like me have long imagined what the set would give 75098 Battle of Hoth will understand me.

The truth about this new exclusive set must probably lie somewhere between a nice big castle of a few thousand pieces and something like the one from the DUPLO set. 6154 Cinderella's Castle...

lego 10252 volkswagen beetle new set creator 2016 10187 remake new model

Small debriefing on a rumor that is confirmed every day a little more: LEGO will offer this summer a set from the Creator Expert range bearing the reference 10252. In this box, a version of the Volkswagen Beetle. The US public price would hover around $ 100.

And that's all we know for the moment about this box which should join the other vehicles already marketed in the Creator Expert range: 10248 Ferrari F40 (2015) 10242 Mini-Cooper (2014) or 10220 Volkswagen T1 Camper Van (2011)

Nothing is known for the moment on the exact contents of the set: Version identical to the one already marketed by LEGO in 2008 (above), adaptation to LEGO sauce of a more recent version of the Beetle, etc ... We will still have to wait for confirmation of the version of the vehicle that will be offered.

In any case, that all those who resign themselves to the prices charged on the secondary market for the set 10187 Volkswagen Beetle released in 2008 rejoice: They will be able to add a Coccinelle to their collection without paying a high price (650 € in new on Bricklink, at least as much on eBay, etc.).

Early sale for members of the VIP program from mid-July, general availability in August 2016.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

The little world of LEGO has been buzzing since yesterday with the posting of public prices and the number of pieces of sets that will be based on the film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story by online merchant German.

The film will be released in theaters next December and we already know since several weeks that LEGO has planned 8 sets for the occasion: 5 sets System and 3 Buildable Figures.

Almost nothing has been revealed about the content of the film, the public prices and the number of pieces in these boxes which will be marketed from September 30 on the occasion of a new edition of the force friday do not serve us much as it is:

  • 75119 Star Wars: Rogue One Buildable Figure # 1: 104 pieces - $ 24.99
  • 75120 Star Wars: Rogue One Buildable Figure # 2: 169 pieces - $ 24.99
  • 75121 Star Wars: Rogue One Buildable Figure # 3: 106 pieces - $ 24.99
  • 75152 Star Wars: Rogue One Set # 1: 385 pieces - € 39.99
  • 75153 Star Wars: Rogue One Set # 2: 449 pieces - € 49.99
  • 75154 Star Wars: Rogue One Set # 3: 543 pieces - € 69.99
  • 75155 Star Wars: Rogue One Set # 4: 659 pieces - € 79.99
  • 75156 Star Wars: Rogue One Set # 5: 863 pieces - € 99.99

I waited to see if "those who know more" venture to reveal some additional information on the forums and if I believe the statements of some, there will be no Tie Fighter or X-Wing and even less Slave I among the 5 sets System. On the other hand, we are promised an AT-ST and a few new ships including one equipped with movable wings.

The troop landing craft seen in the concept art above, presented during the last edition of Star Wars Celebration, however, seems to be a good candidate for this series of sets ...

LEGO Buccaneer Batman - LEGO Justice League Cosmic Clash

Those who follow remember the ad the imminent arrival of a new LEGO book published by DK: LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Character Encyclopedia.

As usual with this type of book, this 176-page encyclopedia which will bring together more than 200 LEGO minifigs based on the DC Comics license will be accompanied by an exclusive minifig.

La only rumor that we have for now regarding the minifig that should accompany this new LEGO book says that it could be a version "Buccaneer"from Batman.

And so this is the movie LEGO Justice League: Cosmic Clash, already available on all illegal download platforms, which allows us to get a visual of what this Batman could be like in a pirate outfit, even if this LEGO version does not really look like the Kenner toy from 1995 that many fans took as reference to the announcement of a possible "Buccaneer batman".

In conclusion, nothing confirmed for the moment, it is only a reconciliation between an animated film, a book and a rumor.

The publisher has still not officially communicated on the character who will accompany this encyclopedia whose release is announced. for next April 5 by amazon.
