If you want to get a better idea of ​​the gameplay before you jump in, here's a 13-minute long streak that should help you make up your mind:

A few months ago, LEGO, Marvel and Sony brought into play an exclusive Miles Morales minifigure in Classic Suits during a contest reserved for US residents which involved finishing the video game Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4 by obtaining the trophy "End Game"and then to have luck in the draw. We know via settlement of the transaction that 1650 copies of this minifigure were produced and put into play.

Some lucky ones were rewarded for their perseverance and they finally received the promised minifigure. I was able to negotiate with one of them, invoking in particular the relatively large quantity of copies involved, to buy back the thing from him at a much more reasonable price than that usually charged. by the few sellers who offer this minifig for sale with auctions that regularly exceed 1000 €. Few copies have already been offered for sale, which undoubtedly explains the soaring prices charged and it is obvious that the 1650 copies have not all been distributed to date.

The object comes in the plastic packaging that everyone who collects the exclusive LEGO Marvel and DC Comics minifigs put into play at the various conventions is familiar with. The cardboard insert also takes the usual dressing.

The minifig is exclusive to this operation and unlike the three versions already available from LEGO, it benefits from a pad printing extended to the legs. The first minifig in version Ultimate Spider-Man of the character appeared in 2015 in the set 76036 Carnage's SHIELD Sky Attack, followed in 2019 by the variant of the set 76113 Spider-Man Bike Rescue then this year of the version Bodega Cat Suit of the set 76171 Miles Morales Mech Armor, this last minifigure being based on an outfit available in the video game Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

This new and exclusive version adopts the outfit Classic Suits also available in video game Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales and who made his first appearance in the comic Ultimate Comics Spider-Man Vol 2 # 5 in 2012. The pad printing is rather very faithful to the character's outfit with its red V-shaped covering on the chest, its patterns embodying the belt, its legs with the knee pads and the toes of the outfit with its red areas.

The printing is not of an irreproachable quality, we will note some visible defects in particular at the back of the head and at the level of the centering of the red V on the torso. The relative good news for collectors of minifigs in the LEGO Marvel range: The character has been available in classic sets since 2015 and this expensive variant will not prevent them from adding the young Miles Morales to their collection.

So far I have only seen a large handful of copies of this minifigure on eBay and I wonder where the 1650 copies that were in principle put into play have really gone. It's hard to know how many players will have really tried their luck in the drawing of lots on the occasion of this competition reserved for Americans which mainly required to finish the video game Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4 by beating Doc Ock in the final confrontation and by obtaining the trophy "End Game".

If the operation with its two-step mechanism has not been able to seduce a large audience of video game and LEGO fans, we are also not immune to seeing one day the remaining stock of this minifig reappear. on the occasion of a new promotional operation ...

Today, we are learning a little more about the content of the LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga video game with the posting of the trailer released during Gamescom 2020. It is not really gameplay, but it is sequences from the game.

Those who have known previous LEGO Star Wars video games should appreciate the significant evolution of the visual quality of this new installment which will take you through the nine episodes of the saga. The minifigs are more detailed and textured than ever before, and the environments are truly detailed, though not always brick-based. I've put aside LEGO video games a bit in recent years, but this one might just reconcile me with the concept.

On the availability side, it is now confirmed at the end of the video below, the game will not be available until spring 2021, without further clarification. Amazon has not yet changed the date of December 31, 2020 displayed on the sheets of the different versions of the game, but these sheets should be updated quickly. We also learn, as we could imagine, that the game will be released in PS5 and Xbox Series X versions.

We also know that a Deluxe Edition is scheduled for early next year. It will include the Character Collection Bundle Pack which brings together six DLCs based in particular on The Mandalorian, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Solo: A Star Wars Story or, Star Wars: The Bad Batch and it will allow us to obtain a polybag with an exclusive minifig: Luke Skywalker with Blue Milk (LEGO Ref. 30625).
