lego gwp march april 2021 40450 40449

Notice to all those who like to optimize their purchases on the official online store to take advantage of the various promotional offers and cumulate those whose validity periods overlap: the duration of the offer allowing to obtain a copy of the set 40450 Amelia Earhart Tribute from 100 € of purchase has been extended to next March 17, which will in principle leave three days during which it will be possible to cumulate with the offer which will allow from March 15 to obtain a copy of the set 40449 Easter Bunny's Carrot House from 60 € of purchase.

It remains to be hoped that the set 40450 Amelia Earhart Tribute is still available on this date, I am also surprised that the offer is still relevant and that this rather original little promotional product is still available in stock. LEGO may have anticipated the demand, or the supply may not have found its audience due to a relatively high minimum purchase amount.

Too bad for those waiting for the VIP preview launch of the LEGO Ideas set 21326 Winnie the Pooh scheduled for March 18, the offer for the set 40450 Amelia Earhart Tribute In theory, it will only be valid until March 17. If the possibility of ordering the LEGO Ideas set is active a little before midnight, it will then be possible to combine the two promotional offers, otherwise it will be necessary to be satisfied with the set 40449 Easter Bunny's Carrot House which will be offered from 60 € of purchase.

The and LEGO Marvel 76199 Rampage (546coins - 59.99 €) revealed exclusively by the US Target brand then posted by LEGO on its official store hides an "easter egg" which confirms the imminent arrival of another reference in the same style: there is a mounting error on the visual of the back of the box whose edge indeed displays the name of Venom.

We knew, via the various rumors currently circulating on the usual channels, that a Venom head is planned this year in the LEGO Marvel range under the reference 76187 and this visual allows us to obtain confirmation of this information. There is currently no official visual of this second head to build and display on its base.

The presence in the LEGO catalog of Venom and Carnage this year seems rather logical, the film Venom: Let There Be Carnage being announced in theaters for the month of June 2021. We will find on the screen Tom Hardy who already played Eddie Brock / Venom in the film released in 2018 and Woody Harrelson will take on the costume of Cletus Kasady / Carnage, a character introduced in the saga via a post-credits scene from the first film.

LEGO 40449 Easter Bunny's Carrot House (GWP)

A few days before the launch of the promotional offer which will make it possible to be offered this box from 60 € of purchase, today we take a quick look at the LEGO set. 40449 Easter Bunny's Carrot House.

A reduced inventory of 232 pieces, no minifig, a large handful of stickers, this set has a priori some of the usual handicaps but it seems to me sufficiently original and creative to justify that we are interested in it. It is therefore a question of assembling here a little Easter bunny and his carrot-shaped house. The idea is original and I find that it is rather well executed.

You won't spend long hours putting the contents of this box together, but the assembly is relatively entertaining. A plinth, two walls, a door and a few covering elements which come to press against the visible tenons, it is well thought out and the result is visually very correct. The back of the house is not closed, probably to give access to whoever wants to play with it. The designer even added a bathroom cabinet under the mirror, just to fill the space a little.

There are about fifteen stickers to stick in this small box, or one sticker every four assembly steps. Those which give a little relief to the carrot are quite successful, even if their background color is not completely in line with the parts tinted in the mass which receive them. We will do with it.

On the inventory side, we obtain in particular three eggs, one of which is Tan already seen in several boxes and two in Medium Lavender which were previously only available in the Trolls World Tour set 41255 Pop Village Celebration. We also get a pad printed trunk and a little more than 80 pieces of orange color, the Moceurs may find their happiness there.

Thinking about it, I would have exchanged the provided rabbit for a minifig disguised as a rabbit in the style of the one in the set 853990 Easter Bunny House sold last year by LEGO which had only been entitled to a cardboard house. If you have this set on hand, you can possibly combine its content with that of this new reference.

In short, this pretty little box will be offered from 60 euros of purchase without restriction of range from March 15, 2021 and I think that I will make the effort to pay for one or two boxes at a high price to get it. It's creative, it's cute, it's fun to put together, so there's no reason not to go for it.

Periodic Table of LEGO Colors v2.0

The product has made the rounds on social networks and many of you have contacted me so that I can talk about it here: today we take a quick look at the "Lego Periodic Table"in its second updated and corrected version.

A first version of this product had already been marketed by the WLWYB sign (We Love What You Build) and this new variation abandons the original blue background for a staging a little more sober. We lose in passing eight colors that were present on the first version of the table (Blue-Violet, Bright Light Yellow, Glitter Trans-Neon Green, Light Nougat, Maersk Blue, Medium Orange, Pearl Light Gray and Very-Light Gray) and we go from 69 to 65 pieces, but the manufacturer adds four (Dark Tan, Dark Gold, Glitter Trans-Light Blue, Trans-Neon Orange) which were not on the initial version.

As you can see, the object has no scientific vocation, it is a purely decorative product to frame and display in a LEGO Room. It uses the principle of the Mendeleïev Table which aligns all the chemical elements classified by their atomic number and adapts it to the assortment of colors offered by LEGO.

The finish of the object is correct, although it will be necessary to pay attention to fingerprints and the impression of the background pattern is not completely uniform in places. On the 40x30 cm support, there are therefore 65 LEGO bricks glued cleanly and without burrs on their respective locations and accompanied by several more or less relevant information according to your affinities with the different classifications used by fans or marketplaces. I would like to point out for those who have doubts about this: the parts used are original LEGO elements.

The presentation is a little confusing at first glance, it will be necessary to refer regularly to the legend to understand the logic used by the manufacturer of this product: year of introduction of the color concerned in the LEGO inventory, number of sets using this color , Bricklink reference, LEGO reference and even an abbreviation created from scratch for this table, we get a little lost.

It should also be kept in mind that some information displayed on this board is already obsolete and that others will become so very quickly. The success of the product being obvious, the manufacturer will undoubtedly not fail to decline the concept until more thirst by integrating any corrections and updates, it is up to you to see if you want to accumulate the different versions of the product over the years. years or if you will be satisfied with what graphically seems easiest to fit into your interior.

The list of colors printed on the right side of the table is sorted alphabetically, which does not really correspond to the positioning of the boxes. It's a bit confusing at first, but you'll have to get used to it. The legibility of the legend is also very limited, the characters are printed in gray on a black background and are small. The list lacks a bit of contrast and its usefulness is a bit questionable.

It will not take long for the most learned fans on the subject treated here to detect some errors, approximations or omissions among the statistics provided by crossing them for example with those available on Bricklink or directly from LEGO. If you are looking in this product for a precise and reliable documentation tool, go your way, the object is not exhaustive on the subject it deals with and it is above all a decorative painting whose main purpose is to allow you to display your passion for the LEGO universe in a slightly more subtle way than with the usual posters.

WLWYB sells the item for $ 39.95 including delivery and the product arrives well packaged. It is possible to hang it on the wall via the folding hook glued to the back but I think that it will then eventually be necessary to consider placing it in a frame deep enough to accommodate this painting whose thickness reaches 1.5 cm. There must be a suitable framework at IKEA or elsewhere.

IF you would like to treat yourself to a copy of this "Lego Periodic Table", know that WLWYB provided me with a code that allows you to get 10% off, you just have to enter HOTTABLE during checkout to benefit from it. It is always that taken.

Note: The product shown here, provided by WLWYB, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at March 25, 2021 next at 23pm. "The" I try, I participate "are automatically deleted, make an effort.

LEGO Marvel 76199 Rampage

After the "announcement" of the set by the US Target brand which will have the exclusivity of this product on the American market, today it is the turn of the official store to reference the set. LEGO Marvel 76199 Rampage (546coins) which will be available from May 1st at the public price of 59.99 €.

Putting the set online on the LEGO Shop allows us above all to be able to observe Carnage's head from all angles thanks to the small video sequence below and the profile view that follows below reconciles me a little with this interpretation of the character in LEGO sauce.

It will also be necessary to stick a large handful of stickers to give this sculpture its final appearance, and I can already see the inevitable difference in color between the red background of the stickers and the color of the parts tinted in the mass. Hoping to be wrong.
