If you hesitate to invest in the French version of the second Ninjago volume of the collection "Build Your Own Adventure", today I offer you a quick overview of what this big box has to offer for € 26.95.

As for the other titles in the collection, we find here the very thick cardboard box in which slip the 80-page booklet and the cardboard insert which contains the 72 pieces supplied. This illustrated sub-packaging which houses the bag of parts could possibly serve as a background for a staging.

On the menu, what to assemble a hover-bike "exclusive" which transforms into a motorbike and a minifig of Nya which is not unpublished, it is the one delivered in the set 70641 Ninja Nightcrawler released this year, the skirt and the epaulet less. If you are a complete collector, know that the parts are delivered in a neutral sealed bag bearing the reference 11915.

The model to build is nice but nothing exceptional, it could also have been found in a large polybag sold for a handful of euros. Fortunately, this set has a little more to offer and the booklet is full of building ideas. I have scanned several pages for you so that you can get a more precise idea of ​​the content offered.

Please note, this is not a simple collection of assembly instructions, only those allowing to assemble the hover-bike de Nya are provided and for those who are wondering, they are really on the level of what LEGO offers in classic sets.

There is also a rather well-done little lexicon on two pages which summarizes the main elements of the LEGO bricks range. A little pedagogy never hurts.

The adventure of young ninjas unrolled as a common thread serves, as usual in this collection of books, as a pretext for the staging of mini-models that the youngest can try to reproduce with their inventory.

The book features many villains encountered by young ninjas over the seasons: Anacondra, Phantom Warriors, Sky Pirates, Vermillion and even Sons of Garmadon, almost everyone is there.

It is not always easy to analyze the mini-constructions presented, but a few exploded views allow us to better understand the complexity of some of the proposed assemblies. It is also an opportunity for the youngest to call on an adult and therefore to share a moment with their children, nephews or nieces, for those who have them.

It is important to specify that all the mini-models presented have been validated by LEGO so that the techniques used and the level of difficulty are adapted to young audiences. We are obviously a little bit hungry with only 80 pages of text and (big) photos, especially when we see that this is all that is left of the thick starter set.

It is still in my opinion a good idea for a gift for a young fan of the Ninjago universe who will have already widely covered what LEGO offers and who is looking for new ideas to expand his diorama using this box set as a starting point for new creative constructions.

In the same collection, the publisher Qilinn, which is responsible for the localization in French of the works published by Dorling Kindersley, also has in its catalog several other boxes including a first volume based on the Ninjago universe and the first volume based on the 'Star Wars universe:

If you've been storing your LEGO Boost kit in the back of the closet for a long time, it might be time to get it out again to try out some new activities.
As expected, two new sets will now be compatible with the elements of the set 17101 LEGO Boost Creative Toolbox to bring them a little interactivity.

The LEGO Boost app has been updated and now offers instructions for combining the Move Hub and the various sensors with the contents of the sets LEGO CITY 60194 Arctic Scout Truck et Ninjago 70652 Stormbringer Dragon.

While waiting for the availability of these two boxes, you can always take the opportunity to improve your LEGO Creator Expert Roller Coaster (10261) who can also benefit from the interactivity offered by the concept, as shown in the video below:

The application is already up to date on Windows 10 and Android but it is not yet up to date on iOS, at least not at home.

The Toys R Us brand will offer three new exclusive packs this year, the content of which we now know but about which it is difficult for the moment to know when and how they will be marketed.

In 2017, the different packs were free from 70 € of purchase and sold individually for € 14.99.

In the Harry Potter pack above: Rolanda Hooch (Renée Bibine), Horace Slughorn, Dolores Umbridge (Dolores Ombrage) and Boggart Snape (Scarecrow). In the Avengers Pack below: War Machine, Wong, Tony Stark and Bucky (White Wolf). The Ninjago Pack (below) will allow you to get some characters from the Sons of Garmadon arc.

If the Americans and the British are already panicking knowing that the brand is definitely closing its stores at home, the situation in France is different: Toys R Us France is an independent entity and until proven guilty the brand, even if it seeks currently a buyer, will continue to exist with us with 53 stores spread over the territory and an online store. In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the Irish brand Smyth Toys takes over the Toys R Us stores.

We therefore have a chance to see these three packs one day arrive on the shelves of the brand in France ...
