LEGO DC: Shazam! Magic and monsters

Friends minifig collectors, please note on your tablets the imminent release of the animated film LEGO DC: Shazam! Magic and monsters, with a simple DVD version and a Blu-ray / DVD combo which will be accompanied by a minifigure according to the various brands that have already referenced the product (UPC 883929700929).

It is not known if the supplied minifigure will be exclusive, nor if it is a polybag thrown in the packaging of the Blu-ray or an inserted figurine as was often the case in the past. We can possibly bet on Black Adam in a polybag similar to the reference 30623 which allowed to obtain Shazam, but nothing confirmed for the moment.

The simple DVD version (therefore without minifig) is already listed at Amazon at this address.

This new animated film, of which you will find the pitch and the trailer below, is announced for June 2020.

There is a new superhero in town and his name is Shazam! This staunch benefactor wants to join the Justice League, but in order to do so he must reveal the truth: his name is Billy Batson and he is actually only ... 10 years old! Confronted with the wicked Mister Mind and Black Adam, he will have to learn that trust is essential in a team!

LEGO Star Wars 75292 The Razor Crest

Today we are talking about the LEGO Star Wars set again 75292 The Razor Crest (1023 pieces - 139.99 €) with the upload of the official visuals of the product box and an interesting detail on the back of the packaging: It will be possible to unlock the Razor Crest in the video game LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga via a "secret code"which will likely be hidden somewhere in the product instruction booklet.

If the set is announced with availability scheduled for September 1, we still do not know when the video game in question will actually be available. Most of the brands that offer this game for pre-order do not get too wet and only indicate a vague "December 31, 2020".

For the rest, these visuals of the front and back of the box do not tell us much new, they simply take the many official illustrations already available in the product sheet online on the official LEGO store.

76149 The Menace of Mysterio

Today we are quickly interested in the LEGO Marvel Spider-Man set 76149 The Menace of Mysterio, a small box stamped 4+ which combines a very basic assembly experience with a varied assortment of minifigs but far from being able to satisfy the most demanding collectors.

As usual in the 4+ boxes intended for the youngest, the two machines delivered here are based on meta-pieces that you have to dress up to obtain simplified but frankly playable constructions. Between Spider-Man's helicopter and Mysterio's robot, we find ourselves in the Mighty Micros atmosphere, less assembly pleasure.

While the pocket helicopter will not pass into posterity despite the good idea of ​​using claws in place of the usual skates, Mysterio's robot, an enlarged version of the character's torso, is a little more interesting with his post of control covered with a bubble and its movable arms. As you probably already know, there are no stickers in these boxes, so this is an opportunity to get some pad printed elements that can be reused for personal creations.

76149 The Menace of Mysterio

The gameplay of the set does not only depend on the possibility of a confrontation between Spider-Man, associated with Ghost Spider on his skateboard, and Mysterio at the controls of his robot: There is an additional stake with a bank to rob.

Here too, the construction is really very basic, but despite the cartoonish aspect of the thing the functionality of opening the trunk by removing the thick door on which the handle is located is interesting. The three fingers of each hand of the robot can grip objects or characters and Mysterio can therefore remove this element to allow access to the two small chests placed inside.

On the minifig side, of the three characters provided, two are not unpublished and are also delivered in sets marketed in 2019 and 2020. The Spider-Man figurine appears in four other sets: 76133 Spider-Man Car Chase, 76134 Doc Ock Diamond Heist, 76146 Spider-Man Mech and 76147 Vulture's Trucker Robbery and Ghost Spider was already present in the set 76115 Spider Mech vs. Venom (2019)

76149 The Menace of Mysterio

The big flaw of the Ghost Spider minifigure: The black color pad printed on the white background of the torso which tends to turn gray. It's far from fitting with the legs and on this specific point, the version of the set 76115 Spider Mech vs. Venom seems more polished to me.

The only truly new minifig in this box is that of Mysterio with his minimalist torso and his neutral head in Light Aqua placed under the globe which also served as a helmet for Mr Freeze in 2019. All the parts used here work quite well and we find a comic version of the character very faithful. Too bad for the legs which remain hopelessly neutral instead of benefiting from the basic yet basic pattern present on the torso.

The minifig is here equipped with a purple cape which covers the pad printed pattern on the back, with a piece of cape. It's a bit strange to find this piece of cape printed on the back of the figurine, but we'll do with it.

76149 The Menace of Mysterio

Finally, this little box does not deserve despite its public price a little too high (34.99 €) even if the most assiduous collectors of minifigs will be hungry for a single new character. There is plenty of fun here and, for the little ones, get your foot in the LEGO-style Spider-Man universe with simple builds but instant playability.

Note: The set presented here, supplied by LEGO, is as usual in play. Deadline fixed at April 13th next at 23pm. No emergency for the draws, the shipments will only take place when the sanitary situation allows it.

Update : The winner was drawn and was notified by email, his nickname is indicated below. Without a response from him to my request for contact details within 5 days, a new winner will be drawn.
