The Australian version of the 2015 LEGO Summer Catalog is now available online and it lists all of the currently available sets as well as many of the sets that will be coming out in the near future. You can view and download the catalog here: 2015 LEGO SUMMER CATALOG, and below I will list some of the highlights so we can discuss. 🙂

2015 LEGO Summer Catalog

2015 LEGO SCOOBY-DOO SETS: The LEGO Scooby-Doo website is now up and running (see here). It only includes a teaser-image at this point and the caption “We got a mystery to solve!” and that updates and the news sets will be coming in August. In the meantime the catalog has this nice spread of all of the upcoming sets.

2015 LEGO FRIEND SETS: The theme for LEGO Friends this summer is pop stars. “Come join the Friends as they meet their Pop Star idol Livi! Help record her new song at the Recording Studio, style her in the Dressing Room before cheering for her on the Show Stage, then join Livi at the after party on her Popstar Tour Bus! Together with your Friends, you are the star!” And there is also the epic #41101 LEGO Friends Hearlake Grand Hotel so many people are looking forward to.

There are many other 2015 LEGO sets listed in the LEGO Summer Catalog and it is a pleasure to flip through the pages. It is also a great way to plan ahead for purchases this year. Some of the sets featured in the catalog are coming later this summer and some are already out. You can find them under the What’s New section of the Online LEGO Shop.

LEGO stop-motion video: Plastic Love

A couple of years ago I discovered by accident French LEGO stop-motion filmmaker Maxime Marion and his highly engaging and entertaining videos about two LEGO characters, Henri and Edmond. The combination of expert stop-motion animation, great storytelling and the sweetness of the French language (with English subtitles) make these short films very enjoyable. You can watch the previous video here: Fun LEGO Video – Henri & Edmon’s Adventures 🙂

A few days ago Maxime contacted me that his latest brickfilm Henri & Edmond – Plastic Love won first place at CineBrick 2015 brickfilm festival in Portugal, and has been nominated in various categories at the Bricksinmotion awards (final winners in all categories will be announced shortly). Below you can watch the entire 20-minute film. Enjoy!

That was fun, isn’t it? If you would like to learn about how this LEGO video was made, there is a short behind-the-scenes featurette highlighting some of the techniques used and challenges involved with making the film. You can watch it here, and you can also follow Maxime on his YouTube channel and at his website.

Maxime also shared that he is already working on the next episode, and he is planning to make something both crazy and original. So what do you think? How did you like the story of Henri and Edmond? What was your favorite part of the story and/or the making of the film? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below! 😉
