The two summer novelties in the LEGO Technic range are now online on the official store with availability announced for August 1st. On the program: an Airbus civil transport helicopter powered by the engine and the Battery Box supplied and a handling crane with integrated pneumatic functions.
Those who have been waiting for a more complete description since the first appearance of these two boxes in a catalog of the brand at the beginning of June can therefore now find out more about the features offered via the online sheets on the Shop:

If you have an iPhone or iPad, LEGO has updated its dedicated app to the assembly instructions of its products by adding the five boxes from the second crowdfunding phase of the Bricklink Designer Program 2021. We therefore discover the packaging of these different sets all stamped 18+ with their respective boxes:
|
Nothing to say, it's still visually very successful and those who participated in the financing of these different sets and who are waiting to receive their copy(s) should not be disappointed. For the others, it will eventually be necessary to go through the secondary market and the note may be very high.
It's time to enjoy it thanks to the double VIP points currently offered on the official online store: the LEGO Ideas set 21334 Jazz Quartet is available today as a VIP preview before global availability scheduled for July 1st.
Everything or almost everything has already been said about this box of 1606 pieces sold at the public price of 99.99 € about which I gave you some very personal thoughts. on the occasion of a "Review". Now it's up to you to see if this product is worth spending a hundred dollars to add to your shelves.
Note that LEGO also offers a VIP "reward" based on this product with some digital visuals in different resolutions that may be used as your wallpaper. It's not free, you have to spend 50 points to access these files through the VIP rewards center.

I told you a few days ago on the occasion of the announcement of the fifth series of characters to collect from the Super Mario universe (ref. Lego 71410), the days of minifigs delivered in the usual plastic bags are soon over. The manufacturer has already been working for many months on this transition, which should finally take place no earlier than September 2023 and the series of minifigs to collect in bags as we know them will then be delivered in a cardboard box that will no longer allow them to be identified. by handling the packaging.
LEGO does not plan to make life easier for fans: even if the manufacturer willingly admits having noticed over the years that the possibility of identifying the different characters in a series by handling the flexible bag has become a very popular activity. customers, there is no question of adding a code to these rigid packaging or any possibility of identifying their content.
As usual, LEGO declares that it does not rule out reviewing its copy later, but this necessarily implies that sales of minifigs individually or in complete boxes would have to drop significantly for the manufacturer to take into account. take this parameter into account and finally change your mind. Which will probably never happen.
What we do know, however, is that this new packaging will be sealed and not resealable after opening, that its contents will not be accessible without destroying the cardboard, that the boxes containing several series will always be composed of 36 units and that LEGO does not plan to modify the unit retail price of the product, i.e. €3.99.
LEGO could have used the principle of the box already used for the Bandmates of the VIDIYO range, but experience has shown that customers do not hesitate to open the boxes in stores to check the contents and the manufacturer has concluded that we had to imagine a more secure packaging.
I'll spare you all the talk about the need to save the planet that coats this announcement, LEGO obviously highlights the recyclable side of this new packaging and maintains that it is therefore necessary to sacrifice in passing a possibility of identification that simplified the life of many customers but which was in any case not envisaged by LEGO when launching these series of collectible minifigs. It's for the planet, make an effort.
You will find above and below some visuals illustrating the different avenues of reflection envisaged by LEGO around this new packaging with several prototypes. The final version of the packaging should be the one last seen in the gallery below. The possibility of a paper bag was quickly abandoned and the work mainly focused on the need to move from a flexible bag to a rigid container which unfortunately no longer allows you to try to guess the content. The manufacturer even claims that during the test phases with a sample of parents and children, more than 70% of those polled chose the new packaging over the old one. Planet first, take LEGO at its word.
