The six sets planned in the range Lego overwatch are now unveiled by the Target brand via its mobile application, so you can get a very precise idea of their content and their interest according to the level of your affinities with the video game from which they are inspired.
Those who have so far refrained from spending € 25 in the set 75987 Omnic Bastion will be happy to see that the character is entitled to a standard version declined on a more appreciable scale, delivered with a luminous brick and transformable in turret mode in the set 75974.
For the rest, these boxes will at least allow us to bring together a first wave of characters:

Availability announced for January 1, 2019. The public prices displayed above are those communicated by the Target brand.
Today we are talking about the first set of the LEGO Overwatch range, the reference 75987 Omnic Bastion (182 pieces - 25 €) which has the particularity of being an exclusive marketed only by Blizzard and of not containing any minifig. It is indeed a question here of assembling the automaton of combat named Bastion, delivered for the occasion in version Omnium crisis.
As much to tell you right away, do not buy this box hoping to spend long hours assembling the parts that are inside. Everything is completed in less than 10 minutes and it is not a high level "creative experience".
The fact remains that fans may find some reusable techniques there. Those looking to create their own custom mechas and who regularly damage their eyes on various flickr galleries while attempting to reverse engineer may also find some creative avenues there.
Contrary to what one might legitimately imagine because the minifigure is made from LEGO bricks, Bastion cannot switch to turret mode. In any case, not simply and it is in any case not documented in the instructions or on one of the sides of the box. I tried a few things, but I quickly abandoned the case ...
This figurine is obviously not modular despite the presence of ball-and-socket joints at the level of the hips and arms which ultimately only serve to make him strike a pose out of his display when the point of balance has been found. The two black pieces placed at the back of the feet help stabilize the whole.
For those who are wondering, this product exclusively distributed by Blizzard on its merchandise shop is a "real" LEGO set, with real parts, real instructions and real stickers to stick on (two on the armor protecting the arms, one for the plate placed on the front of the small display). Only the box is really cheap, the cardboard is really very thin, the package I received is a brilliant demonstration ...
At 25 € joke, this is obviously a starter product intended to bring fans of the game Overwatch into the LEGO universe. Blizzard and LEGO have undoubtedly seen significant commercial potential here with no less than 40 million players identified according to the latest statistics from May 2018. At 9.99 €, we could discuss, but here it is much too expensive for what it is.
If you feel like it, you too can show your attachment to the game by placing Bastion and its small display on a corner of your desk between your pencil holder and your stapler. It's more discreet than a Delorean, less ugly than a BrickHeadz figure or one of those LEGO clocks in the shape of a minifigure, your boss will see nothing but fire and you can sketch a smile of satisfaction by saying to yourself that you are part of the Overwatch family and proudly display it.
Or, with your 25 €, you can also eat lots of ice cream.
Note: The set shown here is put into play as usual. To participate in the raffle, simply post a comment on this article before October 24 at 23:59 p.m.. You have every right to disagree with me, this is not eliminatory.
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.

It is therefore Blizzard which launches hostilities around the new LEGO Overwatch range, starting with the announcement of an exclusive limited edition set that is only available via the Blizzard Gear Store : the reference 75987 Omnic Bastion (182 pieces - 25.00 €).
The set will also be on sale during the convention BlizzCon 2018 which will take place in California from November 2 to 4.
It's pretty good, fans of mechs with LEGO sauce should find their account, just like obviously fans of the game who can display the thing on their desk.
We will quickly talk about this box on the blog via a "Quickly Tested", Activision sending me a copy. With 182 pieces, we will have quickly covered the question ...
Overwatch® fans will love building and collecting this exclusive Bastion minifigure with its orange Omnium Crisis model. This Overwatch toy swivels at the torso and has movable arms and a submachine gun at the right arm. Ganymede, Bastion's loyal feathered companion, is also in the game with his orange model Crise des Omniums. This Overwatch buildable toy is a Blizzard exclusive and is available in limited quantities.

Le mini-site dedicated to the LEGO Overwatch range has been updated (if you can call it an update ...) with a temporary new visual that leaves little doubt as to Winston's presence in upcoming sets.
We already knew thanks to the video teaser uploaded Widowmaker, Reinhardt, Genji, Soldier 76, Mercy and McCree will also be there a few weeks ago.
Nothing else for the moment, we will have to wait a little longer to find out a little more about the content of the six sets planned (LEGO ref. 75970 to 75975).
Update: Tracer minifig unveiled today in a teasing video :
Build the perfect team brick by brick.
Gather your team with the next LEGO Overwatch set!

Just before the official announcement of the sets based on the Overwatch video game franchise which should take place tomorrow during Gamescom 2018, LEGO is cracking a short teaser revealing six of the minifigs that we should find in the planned boxes. From left to right, it would appear to be Widowmaker, Reinhardt, Genji, Soldier 76, Mercy, and McCree.
At least six sets bearing the references 75970 to 75975 are on the program, so you have to wait a few more hours to find out more about their final content.
