lego monkie kid 80028 bone demon 8 1

Today we are quickly interested in the last of the three sets of the LEGO Monkie Kid range marketed since July 1: the reference 80028 The Bone Demon sold at the public price of 109.99 €. With 1373 pieces, it is the biggest box of this summer wave of a range which already totals more than twenty sets since its launch in 2020.

The purpose of this new product: to assemble the Bone Demon, a creature inspired by the demon Bai Gu Jing present in the Chinese folk tale Journey to the west. The legend serving more or less as a reference to the universe of the Monkie Kid range, the references are numerous but are often integrated in a more or less faithful way.

To achieve the promised result, LEGO proposes to build several small elements which, when combined with each other, will form the demon, about forty centimeters high. Each of the sub-sets is rather convincing even if we inevitably notice the pieces that will be used to compose the main creature of the set. An axis that protrudes from a spider or a Ball joint which remains in the void on the body of the scorpion, it was necessary to anticipate the possibility of bringing all the elements together later.

It will be difficult to go straight to building the demon itself without following the instructions exactly. Those who would like to take a shortcut risk getting lost along the way between the various modifications to be made to each of the sub-assemblies that are brought together at the end of the third booklet. The easiest way is to follow the proposed progression so as not to miss any step and have to tediously go back through the assembly process.

Taken separately, the different elements of the set allow you to have a little fun but above all they shout their desire to join the scorpion to give life to the Bone Demon. We could have imagined being able to directly assemble the creature and possibly then separate the different elements to flesh out a playset, but no one would have really benefited from these few spiders, this scorpion and the two ancillary constructions.

You would also have expected a model that only reuses some of the sub-assemblies but the final creature uses almost all the elements of the set except the columns of the white portico which do not integrate the construction. We cannot escape an imposing sheet of stickers, some of which are on a transparent background so as not to penalize the phosphorescence of the pieces on which they are placed.

The body of the scorpion serves as a base for the demon, then we fix the lair of Lady Bone Demon on which we clip the claws of the scorpion which become the arms of the creature, we add the decoration of the portico for the head and the two large white spiders with turned legs come to dress the shoulders. Two sabers are provided so that the creature can face the Monkie Kid installed on his side in his mini-mech propelled by a motor cloud.

Le Bone Demon is ultimately very stable and the set of phosphorescent pieces really gives it allure in the dark. Up close, the finish is not of an exceptional level, but the model deserves to be observed from a distance to really benefit from the result obtained thanks to the assembly of the different modules.

As for the minifigs delivered in this box, the Monkie Kid benefits from a torso which is for the moment exclusive to this set and the rest of the elements that make up the figurine are available in other boxes of the range. The young hero has three versions of his staff here, with a large-format weapon for the mech, an intermediate version and the usual accessory.

Mei's minifig is the one already seen in other boxes since the beginning of the year, the young girl comes with her hair and her helmet, she can be staged in her flight outfit by recovering the wings of the cloud which allows the mech to move through the air.

More interesting, the two Bone Spirits are equipped with torsos whose arms are phosphorescent, it is also the case for the heads of these two identical creatures which rest on the purple part used for the overlords of the Ninjago range in 2019. The arms and head of the White Bone Demon are not phosphorescent but the character is available in two versions with an angelic face and the other more aggressive and the possibility of replacing the bottom of the dress by the piece that also equips both Bone Spirits. The pad prints are impeccable, nothing to say.

Two additional skeleton heads to be placed in the pots carried by the large spiders are provided, they are not phosphorescent.

Once again, the Monkie Kid range does not disappoint me with a product that takes advantage of all that the LEGO concept has to offer: The playset is made up of many elements that are self-sufficient and do not just serve as a pretext to the assembly of the creature. Upon arrival, the Bone Demon maximizes the use of these different elements and the result is visually very convincing in my opinion. If I were younger I would be over the moon with a product like this.

As for the other boxes in the range, it will be difficult to find this box at a lower price than that charged by LEGO: the manufacturer does not distribute this range to its resellers in France and only markets these products intended primarily for the Asian market because that he has undertaken to no longer offer "geographic exclusivity".

lego technic 42129 4x4 mercedes benz zetros trial truck 15

Today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO Technic set 42129 4x4 Mercedes-Benz Zetros Trial Truck, a box of 2110 pieces which will allow from next August 1st and for the modest sum of 299.99 € to assemble a machine that LEGO presents to us on the box as capable of raising dust on the most demanding outdoor grounds.

I add more, but you must suspect that this "trial" machine is not intended for playing outside and that it will appreciate moderately dust or sand. We could once again blame LEGO for doing a little too much on the packaging at the risk of disappointing those who will be fooled by an overly pretentious illustrative visual that promises a priori a racing truck. The visual on the back of the gearbox which shows how the suspensions work on rough terrain is also in my opinion a little pretentious, I did not see my Zetros finish with both axles in this position.

Also pay attention to the title of the product which becomes in French "The Mercedes-Benz Zetros 4x4 test truck"Without the word" trial ", a machine of this type is not designed to swallow the kilometers at high speed and the shimmering stickers to place on the body of this Mercedes-Benz vehicle will not make it go faster.

And it's an understatement to say that this children's toy doesn't move very fast. To make us forget that this truck is not moving forward, LEGO creates a diversion by highlighting its crossing capacities and by insisting on the major innovation of the product: the integration of a differential lock controlled via the Control + application.

For 300 € and 2110 pieces including 800 pins, there is necessarily something that in theory justifies the hallucinatory public price of this toy. So we have to look at the motorization elements to find something not to blame too much on LEGO to charge us this 48 cm long truck at a high price. Two L motors, an M motor, a Smart Hub, front and rear suspensions, new 81mm diameter tires, a dedicated interface in the Control + app, for LEGO the account is good. For those who are wondering, the Smart Hub delivered in the box is the usual model with the plastic closing clips and it is not the version with screw cap visible on the official photos.

The assembly is divided into two parts with the bags numbered from 1 to 3 which allow to build the frame and all the mechanical part and the bags 4 to 6 which provide what then to dress the Zetros so that it looks like the reference model. with in particular a nicely pad-printed shield with the manufacturer's logo integrated into the grille. It will be necessary to show extreme vigilance when it comes to connecting the various transmission shafts to each other via the axes provided, the instruction booklet is very explicit on the alignment of the notches of each of the axes.

Visually, this Zetros is very successful, it looks like the reference vehicle of which it has the appearance and the characteristic attributes. However, there is no need to be a genius to quickly realize that the ground clearance is derisory with 2 cm below the axis of the wheels, 5 cm in the center of the vehicle and engines placed in the bottom of the chassis which do not are not even fully protected. Difficult to imagine "trial" in these conditions, especially as the truck is dressed in many elements that do not fail to come off at the slightest impact, such as the mirrors, the top of the exhaust and even the yellow duck placed on the bumper.

We could also conclude that LEGO has abused the decoration of the truck with the slew of stickers to put in place, but we had to make this Zetros, often used for military purposes, a more fun vehicle. LEGO pushes the line with a host of colorful sponsors, but the result looks pretty good to me.

lego technic 42129 4x4 mercedes benz zetros trial truck 2

lego technic 42129 4x4 mercedes benz zetros trial truck 22

The cabin interior is well appointed with its seats and steering wheel flanked by a Tile round 1x1 on which we stick a micro-sticker bearing the logo of the vehicle manufacturer. The motor is dummy, it is satisfied with two stickers and a fan on a free shaft that only rotates if you push on it with your fingers. The rear plate is for its part partly covered by a technical hatch which allows in principle to have an eye on the internal mechanics but the panel is blocked by the rear arches and unfortunately does not open completely without first removing the two. black uprights ...

Let's be honest, this Zetros in LEGO version is not really a trial truck, it is not sufficiently ballasted, especially on the rear and despite the presence of the two engines which provide the propulsion, to take full advantage of the possibilities offered by the four suspensions and by the integrated differential lock. It is just a machine capable of climbing slopes without obstacles and on condition of playing on a surface offering enough grip for the vehicle to grip. There's still the option of loading the rear of the Zetros a bit with something to improve propulsion, but the power available will inevitably be affected by that extra weight.

The locking of the differentials works perfectly, that's the least of things, and you can feel the contribution of this feature when traction is put to the test and the need to provide equivalent power to each of the wheels of the truck is made felt. The turning radius is a joke, you need a living room of 80m2 to make a circle. For the rest, if you attempt the adventure on obstacles that are too angular and "steep", you will have to start over several times to find the right approach which will prevent your truck from tipping over or getting stuck resting on the chassis. with all four wheels in a vacuum.

The other detail that prevents this truck from being a real trial vehicle capable of facing the most perilous situations: the doors and the engine cover are not lockable. When going downhill and if the slope is steep, the engine hood opens accidentally and the doors do the same when the Zetros reaches a certain lateral angle. How is it possible that a designer specializing in this range of products has not thought of this detail? I have no explanation.

lego technic 42129 4x4 mercedes benz zetros trial truck 21

I tried to "play" with this product using what in principle is currently best in terms of rechargeable batteries, 1600 mAh NiZn batteries, and the promise is kept: there is indeed enough torque so that the Zetros can climb slopes with quite impressive angles. For the rest, this toy sold for 300 € does not offer much else in terms of playability, the disappointment being more often the appointment as far as I'm concerned than the satisfaction of demonstrating a particular know-how in piloting.

The two driving modes offered via the Control + application, the few challenges of no great interest and the augmented reality feature that allows you to view the various mechanical elements in operation offer additional possibilities to have fun around this product but do not really save furniture when it comes to pure playability. And I remind you for all intents and purposes that this is indeed a toy for children 12 and over, not a model for an adult fan.

Fans of the Technic universe will undoubtedly enjoy the assembly of the differential lock system and the activation / deactivation of the function via the Control + app, but those who hoped for an all-terrain vehicle a little more versatile as the real Zetros is, it will be imperative to go their way otherwise you will quickly realize that the possibilities offered by this product are in reality limited to climbing a board placed at 45 ° or to do a little off-roading on a few heaps of bricks with limited roughness.

The most motivated will try to make the most of the possibilities of this niche product but, for 300 €, being able to move from point A to point B without spending two hours there would have been really welcome. Those who buy these boxes only to display the vehicle concerned on a shelf will also find their account there, this Zetros in LEGO version being sufficiently faithful to the reference vehicle.

lego starwars 75309 republic gunship 15

Today we quickly tour the LEGO Star Wars set 75309 Republic Gunship, a new box of 3292 pieces stamped Ultimate Collector Series which only owes its appearance in the LEGO Star Wars range to its success during the consultation organized in January 2020 on the LEGO Ideas platform.

Let's get rid of the error made by LEGO on the packaging of the product and on the instruction booklet: the logo of the Galactic Republic has been replaced by that of the Empire. The manufacturer readily admits his error but is satisfied with a laconic press release in the form of a vaguely humorous pirouette:

The dark side blurred our vision and we used the Galactic Empire logo on packaging and instructions for the 75309 LEGO Star Wars UCS Republic Gunship, while of course we should have used the logo of the Galactic Republic. However, the infiltration didn't affect the actual model- which proudly displays the Galactic Republic logo. We are working to update the packaging and instructions.

The manufacturer also warns that the correction will not take place at best until the end of 2021 or early 2022 and that the first batch of sets already manufactured will be sold as is. It's up to you to see if this error justifies waiting for the modification. Regarding the collector's potential of this "alternative" edition of the product which will be available in volume for many months, it will undoubtedly be necessary to wait a few years to capitalize on this error.

I have to say I'm a little surprised that a mistake like this could have crept up on the packaging and the instruction booklet without anyone noticing it in time. We know that the design and production of a set involves the participation of many employees of the LEGO group, multiple validation stages as well as regular consultation of the beneficiaries of the license concerned. Absolutely no one, from designers to marketing geniuses to Star Wars themed specialists at LEGO / Disney / Lucasfilm, has seen a thing.

That being said, was this UCS version of a ship that was already available by LEGO in system format in 2002 (7163 Republic Gunship), in 2008 (7676 Republic Attack Gunship) and then in 2013 (75021 Republic Gunship) really essential? ? To believe the fans who voted overwhelmingly for this ship, it is. However, I think that many of them already saw themselves having a slew of Clones or Cody in Phase 2 armor, they will be at their expense because this is an imposing model to exhibit that is not accompanied by only two minifigs.

The ship's scale is determined by the two bubbles that serve as canopies and the rest is built around. This Gunship is obviously not on the minifig scale, although we can install Mace Windu and the Clone Trooper Commander on the two seats which seem almost to scale and which therefore seem to me a little undersized compared to the rest. of the ship.

The internal structure of the model is well thought out, it is the upper part of the vessel that supports the floor and this solution ensures a certain rigidity to the whole without imposing too many beams crossing the empty space on the back. The different panels of the hull are a little less solid and it will be necessary to be very vigilant when moving the model. The two movable side doors are for example fixed on a single white beam via a single row of tenons. These two doors also lack in my opinion a little finishing and the gray areas around the slots would for example have benefited from being covered with Tiles to really reproduce the visual effect seen on the screen.

lego starwars 75309 republic gunship 5

The finish of the cabin is quite correct even if we do not escape ten 6x6 matt plates with their central injection point clearly visible on the wings and on the ramp that leads to the cockpit. There was undoubtedly better to do than to be satisfied with these elements which smell a little the ease. The designer, on the other hand, did his best on the front of the vessel, with a good effort to integrate the green curves in the cabin which compensates for the staircase effects and the front of the transparent canopy which protrudes a little.

The wings and the two reactors are firmly fixed to the cabin, via a Technic axis for the two wings and via a few blue pins for the engines. These are crossed by a Technic axis over part of their length, their strength is assured.

The fenders are heavy, but they are effectively supported by the Technic element assemblies designed to prevent them from sagging and the stacking of plates gives them maximum rigidity. The two wings take a little volume at the junction with the body of the vessel, we avoid structures that are too flat and a little bland often present on the models in System format. All the armament usually carried by these vessels is present with rockets placed under the wings and inside the two side doors and two missile rollers, rotating via a few gears, integrated between the engines.

You will have noticed, the two mini-shaped mobile bubbles Death Star with their firing position normally occupied by a Clone Trooper are not perfectly round. The addition of a series of elements allowing the bubbles to be fixed on their respective supports and the integration of a ring of parts between the two hemispheres deform these two constructions a little. I still welcome the pad printing effort on the eight hemispheres provided in this box, even if I imagine that LEGO would not have dared to impose stickers on us to stick on these elements.

lego starwars 75309 republic gunship 14

The sheet of stickers is also a little petty for a high-end product at 350 €, knowing that it is mostly satisfied with stickers on a transparent background adding some visual details to the shell and two symbols of the Galactic Republic which they are in conformity with the difference of those present on the box and on the instruction booklet. The other sticker provided is the one that distills some facts on the ship with an error on the length of the thing: Starwars.com gives 17.69 m, LEGO writes 17.4 m.

The product presentation support is well designed, it knows how to be discreet and it allows to expose the Gunship in a relatively dynamic way, slightly leaning forward. The vessel is not integral with the support, it is content to rest on a white piece which fits into the rear floor which therefore remains immaculate. Knowing that it will be necessary to free up a space of approximately 80x80 cm to expose the model, I think that LEGO could have split a rotating support that would have allowed to enjoy the ship from all angles without having to grab it by its central part and lift it up.

The two minifigs provided are simple decorative elements of the presentation medium, and even if they are unheard of in this form, we must therefore be content with Mace Windu with his traces of dust on his chest and a Clone Trooper Commander Phase I a little more detailed than that of set 75019 AT-TE (2013) but dispensable.

From August 1, it will be up to everyone to assess whether this ship really deserves the investment requested by LEGO. The model is imposing, it is relatively detailed even if the subject imposes a lot of internal vacuum with a cabin around and we obtain an imposing exhibition product 68 cm long by 74 cm wide that we will have to manage to fit on a shelf.

I imagine that some of those who voted for this set in the initial consultation were instead expecting a smaller, cheaper ship full of Clone Troopers, the UCS set. 75098 Assault on Hoth having officially opened the door to this type of playset in 2016. It will not be, it will be necessary to pay 349.99 € for this globally successful exhibition model and be satisfied with the two minifigs provided.

lego ideas 21328 seinfeld 8

Today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO Ideas set 21328 Seinfeld, a box of 1326 pieces inspired by the project by Brent Waller who had been able to unite a large public and bring together the 10.000 supporters necessary for the examination of the "idea" by LEGO. The rest was just a formality, the project having been definitively validated by LEGO, and the final product will be on the shelves in a VIP preview from July 21.

As with the other boxes of the same barrel regularly marketed in the LEGO Ideas range, this set is above all a pure fan service product. The studio's recipe for a popular sitcom has already been widely spun off by sets 21302 The Big Bang Theory (2015) et 21319 Central Perk (2019) and more recently by the set 10292 F⋅R⋅I⋅E⋅N⋅D⋅S Apartments, we use here the same principle adapted to the treated subject.

Here, the scene is to the glory of the sitcom Seinfeld, a very popular series on the other side of the Atlantic in the 90s which had a bit of trouble to meet the same success with us for various reasons including a dub in French just passable.

More than an exhaustive reproduction of the filming studio, this is clearly a product very inspired by the official model of the tray marketed for nearly $ 500 and which does not include either the bathroom of which only the door remains, nor the bedroom which is in principle accessible through the passage where the green bicycle is stored.

First finishing detail that is obvious: the floor of the apartment is completely covered with Tiles which form a nice floor. The designer who took over the project made sure to leave tenons available to install the furniture and position a few minifigs in the places and the effect is frankly successful. The and 10292 F⋅R⋅I⋅E⋅N⋅D⋅S Apartments with its floor while exposed tenons suddenly seems really lacking in finish next to the simple but effective aesthetic work done here.

We could argue about the color of the upper part of the walls, with a white that does not really match the hue seen on the screen. In the sitcom, the walls are rather gray, even very light blue, but they are in any case not immaculate white. The contrast however benefits the product with a floor and furniture really highlighted by these walls which are a little discreet.

lego ideas 21328 seinfeld 5

The furniture to assemble in this box is also very successful with pretty techniques that should appeal to lovers of Modulars and elements all really faithful to the accessories that populate the studio. I will spare you the countless references to different episodes of the series, I will not pretend to remember each of the episodes that I saw in the 90s and that I have never seen since. I still remember the Commando 8 air conditioning installed by Kramer on the office window and Frank Costanza's "Festivus Pole", two elements included in the set.

As with other LEGO products that feature a popular sitcom, fan service is provided down to the smallest detail and fans of the series should be well served. The big sheet of stickers provided comes in reinforcement to add a big ladle of fan service, difficult to imagine the fridge without the many magnets, sticky notes and decorations seen on the screen. Too bad for the very imprecise cutting of some stickers that must be shifted by placing them to compensate for the uneven borders.

As usual, everything that is not on the sheet of stickers that I scanned for you (see below) is pad printed. This is particularly the case of Tiles that form the pattern of the living room rug.

Each of the episodes of the first seasons of the series began with a sketch that served as the theme of the episode concerned and the main construction is accompanied by a small module that reproduces the scene of the Comedy Club on which Jerry Seinfeld performs. No curtain, we will be satisfied with a red brick wall and the element is independent of the rest of the studio, it will be necessary to find a place for it on the shelf.

lego ideas 21328 seinfeld 10

lego ideas 21328 seinfeld 9

On the minifig side, it's frankly more mixed with figurines that struggle a bit to embody the actors seen on the screen. Luckily Jerry Seinfeld has got a new haircut that paired with the blue shirt immediately brings the character to mind. It is also the outfit of each member of the cast that guarantees the association of ideas more than the face or the hairstyle. I'm not a fan of the blue background on George Costanza and Newman's glasses, we lose a bit of the usual codes of LEGO minifigs.

To choose, it is still Elaine Marie Benes who seems to me the most successful with her outfit and her hairstyle and despite her generic face. George Costanza is wearing his iconic red jacket and the skull / hair piece works quite well, as does the smirk on his face. The character almost deserved a pair of short legs to really mark the size difference with the rest of the cast. Cosmo Kramer's shirt is fitting, but the 60s thug hair isn't convincing. Newman is totally missed, nothing goes except the outfit and LEGO insists with this hair that I find unsuitable and yet already seen on the head of Dennis Nedry, another cult character played by actor Wayne Knight.

The pad prints are very correct, except for the flesh-colored areas which vary in hue depending on the color of the part on which LEGO has applied the ink. The legs are neutral but this is not a criticism, the subject treated did not necessarily call for pad printing at this level.

As for references 21302 The Big Bang Theory (2015) et 21319 Central Perk (2019) et  10292 F⋅R⋅I⋅E⋅N⋅D⋅S Apartments (2021), this box is intended only for fans of the treated sitcom. Seinfeld is not a cult series in France but it is indeed across the Atlantic. The goal here is for LEGO to provide fan service to the hilt and to please everyone who enjoys the series, which this new set does quite well. It has also benefited from a particular care on the finish and the furniture, we feel that the designer has really tried to offer something entertaining in terms of construction techniques.

Too bad for the projectors which are once again different from those of the other sitcoms sets offered by LEGO, there was however material to try to maintain a kind of common thread between the different boxes by keeping the design of these accessories as it is. appears in the set 21319 Central Perk.

If you liked Seinfeld, you should like this box despite its few flaws and minifigures that look very rough when taken out of context. The public price of the set is set at 79.99 €, it is the price of nostalgia.

lego marvel what if 76201 captain carter hydra stomper 4

Today we quickly take a tour of the LEGO Marvel What If ...? 76201 Captain Carter & The Hydra Stomper, a small box of 343 pieces which will be marketed from August 1st at the public price of € 29.99.

Those who follow already know, this set is inspired by the Marvel animated series What If ...? whose 10 episodes of the first season will begin on August 11 on Disney +. This series features alternate continuities in which the events of the Marvel universe unfold differently from those of the usual timeline. We therefore find in this set a scene that is not in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Peggy Carter who becomes Captain Carter after an injection of the Super Soldier serum and Steve Rogers at the controls of a green Hulkbuster.

what if animated series captain carter hydra stomper
The mech appears on the poster used for the promotion of the series and we can also see it in some captures of the first episode. As often, the LEGO version is a little rough and the designers of Billund probably had to be satisfied with a few very preliminary artworks to work on this product derived from the series, the distribution of which has not yet started.

The robot is not a model that revolutionizes the genre, the joints based on Ball Seals offer only a very limited range of movements and the finish is barely correct. The model still looks good and apart from the junction between the shoulders and the forearms which is a little too visible and fragile, the rest of the joints are well integrated. No knees, that's the rule at LEGO. The mech's helmet, based on the epaulet already used in the set 76190 Iron Monger Mayhem (2021) or for Molten Man and Venom, comes to fall back on the face of Steve Rogers, it is well realized even the connection of the helmet on the body of the mech is a little fragile.

Otherwise, the robot's hands cannot hold much with their palms too prominent, but the mech is stable on both feet. Steve Rogers can take place in the bust of the robot but he has no piloting interface, not even two controllers. We will remember the presence of a Plate 1 x 2 phosphorescent integrated on the torso of the mech.

LEGO provides a relatively large sheet of stickers for a set of this size, the different stickers of which add an additional shade of green to the robot.

lego marvel what if 76201 captain carter hydra stomper 5

On the side of the three minifigs provided in this box, there is something to please collectors a little tired of the multiple variants of Spider-Man and Iron Man that abound in the LEGO Marvel range, with two characters in totally different versions. unpublished.

Captain Carter benefits from a very nice torso and a very successful pad printing shield. The head used here is that of Nymphadora Tonks seen in the LEGO Harry Potter set 75980 Attack on the Burrow and which will also be Xialing's in the LEGO Shang-Chi set 76177 Battle at the Ancient Village.

LEGO could have provided Steve Rogers with a pair of legs dressed in patterns matching those of the torso, it will be necessary to be satisfied with a neutral element. The character's head is that of Han Solo, Hawkeye or even Cédric Diggory, the hair is that of Owen Grady but it has already been used for Captain America in other boxes.

lego marvel what if 76201 captain carter hydra stomper 8

Red Skull is not unpublished, the head and the torso were already in the set 76166 Avengers Tower Battle (2020) and the two elements are here associated with the legs of General Hux, Nick Fury and a few other characters from the LEGO Harry Potter range. The Tesseract finally takes the form of an element more believable than the usual part even if the Minecraft figurine head here transparent may seem a little disproportionate.

We're not going to lie, the set will interest fans for the two new minifigs it contains. The mech does not demerit, but it is a very rough representation of the subject treated which would perhaps have been more appropriate with an olive green color for the whole of the armor.
