MOC highlights from the French AFOL community in 2012
The French AFOL community on BrickPirate hosts an annual roundup of their members’ best works of the year. Here are some of the creations that we haven’t shown on the blog. Take a look at their forum thread for more.

Lovely in light aqua
Ironsniper is one of the builders whose creations beckon viewers to examine their intricate details. This mecha adds to that with a coating of light aqua armor, making it stand above the crowd.

LEGO Galaxy Squad set reviews (70700, 70702, 70703)
LEGO Galaxy Squad was just released, and here’s my review of 3 of the sets from the theme featuring the alien bug race: 70700 Space Swarmer, 70702 Warp Stinger,
and 70703 Star Slicer.
The video review consists of a look at the parts and a review of the models.
For those who just want to hear the verdict, I like the Space Swarmer for its compact design and the Warp Stinger for its decent design and good price. However, I am not much of a fan of the Star Slicer due to the flimsy looks of the mantis.
All three LEGO Galaxy Squad sets are now available from the LEGO Shop.
USCSS Nostromo from Alien
Mihe Stonee spent 3 months making this 2′ 6″ model of the USCSS Nostromo from the movie Alien. I like the texture created from using of bent rigid tubes tacked on the tiled hull, which mimics the feature seen on the actual ship.

Firefly Serenity custom kit for sale
Those who were disappointed with CUUSOO’s rejection of tbone_tbl‘s Firefly Serenity can now purchase it as a custom kit with instructions and all the parts to assemble the model. It is being sold on Etadyne.com for $385, which I think is a fair price for this custom 2186-piece model.

Series 9 minifigures revealed and reviewed!
Lego has done a good job keeping pictures of series 9 minifigs from leaking out, so for the first time we see a simultaneous reveal and review. While the minifigs are scheduled for release in January 2013, Lego has sent a case to Eurobricks for an early review.
From the review, I noticed that the case distribution is heavily skewed in this series so that there are only 2 copies of certain minifigs and up to 6 of others in 1 case. Is this an attempt to assign rarity to certain figs, and how will the consumers react?
