A few days ago, LEGO put online the Store Calendars June 2021 and we then discovered the details of a new promotional offer with somewhat unusual mechanics at LEGO: from June 1 to 30, 2021, the LEGO BrickHeadz set 40490 Ninjago 10 will be available for purchase for $ 10 provided you have previously spent at least $ 85 on products from the Ninjago range.

The manufacturer is now bringing an important clarification: this box will indeed be a paid promotional product under the condition of purchase during the month of June, but it will then be available for sale at its usual public price (24.99 €?) Without having to buy other products from July 1, 2021:

Today we are also discovering the novelties expected in the LEGO Ninjago range next June with five boxes based on the 15th season of the animated series and four "Legacy" sets that pay tribute to references marketed a few years ago.

I said this during my various tests of the novelties of January 2021, I think that this universe really manages to renew and modernize itself over the ranges and this new series of sets with an aquatic atmosphere seems to me once more particularly successful.

Official visuals of many products in the CITY, Friends, Creator, Disney, DOTS and DUPLO ranges are also available in their respective sections. on Pricevortex.

We end the cycle of reviews of the LEGO Ninjago novelties for March 2021 with a quick look at the contents of the Legacy set 71740 Jay's Electro-Mech, a small box of 106 pieces sold at the public price of 19.99 €.

The set is stamped "4+" and the inventory is therefore up to this classification which indicates that the thing is designed to simplify the life of the youngest fans tired of the big DUPLO bricks. This box is also marked with the mention Legacy, it pays a priori homage to a set marketed several years ago in the Ninjago range. And it is well in the set 70754 Electromech 2015 that this new set vaguely refers to, for the tribute it will be necessary to review.

We are not going to lie to each other, this mech does not have many arguments to make with its large castings and its more than summary finish. Jay is not locked in his cockpit, or even restrained by any hoop, and that's a shame. I understand that this type of set is really intended for very young children, but there is undoubtedly a balance to be found between the simplicity of assembly and the level of finish. The big gray shuriken is identical to the one seen in the set 71738 Zane's Titan Mech Battle.

According to your tastes, it will be possible as I did here to invert the two molded legs to obtain a robot with a pose a little less ridiculous than in the default configuration. The two elements used make me think of the legs of the droid ED-209 seen in Robocop and I hope that we will see these parts in other colors in the future, there must be something a little original to do with.

In front of the mech, there is a mobile Anacondrai ballista, also rather sketchy, which probably vaguely mimics the machine seen in 2015 in the set 70745 Anacondrai Crusher. There is at least something to aim the mech with the barrel mounted on a rotating axis, that's always taken for the gameplay. Should we put this type of projectile in the hands of a four-year-old child with the risk of ending up with a stunned cat? I'm just asking the question.

LEGO also provides some additional elements to create an atmosphere around the two main buildings. Nothing crazy, it's still so basic but everything is pad printed. We get some pretty Tiles, a spider in Dark Flesh seen in ten sets since 2018 and a scorpion in dark Blue seen in only four boxes since its first appearance in 2017 in The LEGO Ninjago Movie set 70617 Temple of the Ultimate Ultimate Weapon.

Alongside the Mech and the Anacondrai cannon on wheels, we get two minifigs here: the young blue ninja Jay and the villainous Eyezor. Jay's minifig combines more or less common elements in the Ninjago range: the head is the one used for the character since 2017, the torso and legs are also present in the sets 71735 Tournament of Elements et 71737 X-1 Ninja Charger marketed this year. The mask has been in the LEGO catalog since 2019 in this form.

Eyezor is also delivered since this year in sets 71735 Tournament of Elements et 71736 Boulder Blaster, I just remember that the yellow area on the chest is not really in line with the arms and the head, contrary to what the official visuals on the Shop claim.

In short, there is not much more to say about this set which I find much too expensive for what it really has to offer, but parents who have just left the DUPLO universe are already anyway. used to paying a high price for their offspring's toys and there will always be someone to spend $ 20 on a product like this.

Note: The set presented here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at April 6th next at 23pm.
