76133 lego marvel spider-man car chase 1

Now it's the turn of the LEGO Spider-Man set 76133 Spider-Man Car Chase (52 pieces - 9.99 €) to be the subject of a very quick test on the blog.

There is nothing in this little box to talk about during the long hours. As usual with the sets from the Juniors / 4 + range, this set is designed for the youngest who are gradually discovering the world of "classic" bricks after a few years of having to be content with products from the DUPLO range.

76133 Spider-Man Car Chase

We assemble a vehicle for Spider-Man who obviously needs a buggy to move through the streets of the city and pursue the evil Green Goblin (Green Goblin) who has his usual jet glider.

I've put together an exploded view of Spider-Man's buggy for anyone wondering what level of build simplification the 4+ line sets reach. We will just retain the pretty pad-printed piece which serves as a hood and which also served as the fuselage for the aircraft in the set. 76134 Spider-Man: Doc Ock Diamond Heist.

76133 Spider-Man Car Chase

The Spider-Man minifigure is identical to that of the other stamped set 4+ released at the end of the year, the reference 76134 Spider-Man: Doc Ock Diamond Heist and must therefore be satisfied with single legs without pad printing or bi-injection in two colors.

Green Goblin, on the other hand, is exclusive to this small set and has been the subject of a good pad printing effort. Even the green of the legs pad printed on the purple background matches the character's arms and head. No significant color difference to note. Too bad, however, that the usual printing defect at LEGO at the junction between the thigh and the lower leg is once again present here.

For the rest it is flawless on this minifig, front and back and in my eyes it is the best version of the character offered by LEGO so far.

In short, if you are a collector of Marvel minifigs, you pay this exclusive Green Goblin 9.99 € and you put the rest in the back of a drawer.

Note: The set shown here, supplied by LEGO, is included in the game. To participate in the raffle, simply post a comment on this article before February 3 at 23:59 p.m.. You have every right to disagree with me, this is not eliminatory.

76134 Spider-Man: Doc Ock Diamond Heist

We continue this series of quick tests of the new LEGO Spider-Man with the set 76134 Spider-Man: Doc Ock Diamond Heist (150 pieces - € 29.99), a box stamped "4+" whose content is therefore suitable for the little hands of the youngest fans of the Marvel universe.

And it is an understatement to say that the contents of this box are accessible to the youngest: there are some very large basic elements that simplify the assembly such as a boat hull (which floats), a half-cabin, several uprights for the harbor crane and even a yellow Roller Coaster rail and a Porsche 911 RSR headlight which here serves as a canopy for the cockpit of Spider-Man's plane.

76134 Spider-Man: Doc Ock Diamond Heist

The faster it is mounted, the faster we can play. This is the case here, with a set that does not require an engineering degree or extraordinary patience. Everything is assembled in the blink of an eye without the help of parents and we can quickly get down to business.

The harbor dock and the crane are welcome to set the scene for the clash between Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus. It's Pearl Harbor here, with Spider-Man who can bomb Doc Ock's speedboat from his glider (or supersonic jet, it's up to you).

76134 Spider-Man: Doc Ock Diamond Heist

At least the Octopus boat has the merit of being equipped with two robotic arms that allow you to hang the villain's loot on it. Everything is there, from the colors of the character's costume to the pad-printed symbol placed on the front of the shell.

Use in the bathtub for even more epic adventures thanks to the one-piece shell already seen in several sets of the Junior range (10755 Zane's Ninja Boat Pursuit et 10737 Batman vs. Mr. Freeze).

76134 Spider-Man: Doc Ock Diamond Heist

Everyone knows, Spider-Man is nothing without the armada of custom vehicles that he probably stows away in his Spider-Cave. Here, it's a glider that allows him to track Octopus.

The machine is basic with a few parts to be placed on the meta-cabin provided and everything is embellished with a pretty pad-printed logo to be attached to the nose of the device. The cockpit is protected by the canopy which also serves as a headlight for the Porsche 911.

Two disc launchers can knock out the bad guy and LEGO, who knows the kids will lose those two white discs, provides two more ammunition.

76134 Spider-Man: Doc Ock Diamond Heist

Three characters are delivered in this set with a Spider-Man which takes the torso and the head of the minifigs provided in other boxes but which must here be satisfied with simple legs without pad printing or two-color molding.

On the other hand, Doc Ock's minifigure is really accomplished, with a new design that alone justifies investing in this set to afford this detailed version of the character's costume. The torso is stunning, with plenty of detail for the character's metal belt. Too bad the legs remain neutral, they would have at least deserved some mechanical elements on the front of the feet.

76134 Spider-Man: Doc Ock Diamond Heist

The back of the Octopus minifigure is also very detailed and it is almost a shame that it is masked by the accessory (already seen on the Outriders and on Carnage) which serves as a support for the four mechanical arms here symbolized by simple droid arms.

For even more playability, LEGO adds in the box a generic worker to control the crane and whose torso already appears in a dozen boxes of the LEGO CITY range and even in a set of the Speed ​​Champions range (75883).

76134 Spider-Man: Doc Ock Diamond Heist

To put it simply, I say yes but on sale. No stickers, three characters, two simple machines but which will give ideas to the youngest and a magnificent minifig of Doc Octopus, it is more than enough to convince me but rather around 20 € as is currently the case at Amazon :

Spider-Man: Far From Home - First trailer and some info on planned LEGO sets

The first trailer of the film Spider-Man: Far From Home is now available, this is an opportunity to take stock of what we know about the three LEGO sets planned to accompany the release of this film.

Via the usual channels for disseminating rumors and very preliminary information on upcoming products, we currently have three references, names that seem provisional (or poorly translated) and theoretical US public prices: 76128 Molten Man's Battle ($ 30), 76129 Hydro-Man's Attack ($ 40) and 76130 Stark's Plane and Drone Attack ($ 70).

Marketing of the various sets planned for next May, the film is expected in theaters in early July 2019.

853744 Knightmare Batman Accessory Set

Today we take a detour through the film Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice with the small set 853744 Knightmare Batman Accessory Set (46 pieces - € 12.99) that I had forgotten at the bottom of a drawer ...

For less than 13 €, LEGO allows us to obtain an exclusive minifig, two generic evil creatures and a very small construction without much interest which serves as an alibi to be able to promote the LEGO concept.

The Knightmare Batman minifigure is therefore exclusive to this small pack, it is written in large letters on the box. No fabric accessories here, everything is pad printing, skilfully designed to best reproduce the Batman costume seen in the film.

And it's quite successful with a host of details and a multitude of different shades to embody the different layers of the outfit. Too bad the transition between the torso and the hips of the character is a little rough, which annihilates the visual effect of a coat whose sides go down to the knees.

853744 Knightmare Batman Accessory Set

The minifigure really highlights everything LEGO can do in the field of pad printing with an accumulation of colors, numerous details underlined by lines of varying finesse, legs molded in two colors and even pad printed areas on the forearm reproducing the bandages seen on the costume of the film.

The character's mask has also been the subject of a nice graphic work with glasses whose shiny and worn effect is very convincing.

Batman is equipped with an automatic pistol with a Tile bearing the Joker symbol similar to the pattern seen on the butt of the assault rifle worn by the character in the film. LEGO has really taken the attention to detail to its limits here.

853744 Knightmare Batman Accessory Set

In the box, LEGO also provides two Parademons, the service villains, identical to those seen in the sets 76086 Knightcrawler Tunnel Attack (2017) et 76087 Flying Fox: Batmobile Airlift Attack (2017)

These superb minifigs come with their transparent plastic wings which would be perfect if they did not so visibly display the copyright printed on the back which is unfortunately not obscured by the Tile which serves to hold them in place.

Anyway, if you haven't yet bought that little pack that delivers what I consider to be the most successful Batman minifigure yet, there's still time to do so by the way. by the LEGO Shop to be sure to spend only 12.99 €. In a few weeks / months, it will be too late ...

Note: The set shown here, supplied by LEGO, is included in the game. To participate in the raffle, simply post a comment on this article before January 20 at 23:59 p.m.. You have every right to disagree with me, this is not eliminatory.

76113 Spider-Man Bike Rescue

Go ahead for a quick peek at the LEGO Marvel set 76113 Spider-Man Bike Rescue (235 pieces - 24.99 €) which proves us once again that LEGO is convinced that Spider-Man really needs various and varied vehicles to go on a mission and face some bad guys.

Here we are entitled to a motorbike which could be acceptable if it was not oversized. The bike is really successful but the minifigure frankly looks ridiculous on the seat with the added bonus of a driving position far from natural. But it is necessary that the youngest have something to have fun and this bike is there for that.

Note that the mini spider drone launcher is functional but the web launcher placed on the left side of the machine does not launch anything at all.

If you are wondering where the two little gray spiders delivered here come from, it is on the side of the Nexo Knights range that you should look, for example in the set 72002 Twinfactor.

76113 Spider-Man Bike Rescue

The other construction of the set is the generator "with explosion function". The term is a bit pretentious, it is simply a question of tilting a part to eject the two containers placed on it. Everything else is only decorative, with large reinforcements of stickers except for the yellow plates with the black bands which are pad printed.

Some of these stickers are also printed on a transparent support and the effect obtained is very convincing. I would like to see this type of sticker more often.

76113 Spider-Man Bike Rescue

Everything that is to be built here is ultimately just a pretext to sell us three minifigs: Spider-Man, Miles Morales and Carnage.

The Spider-Man minifigure is a welcome evolution of the one we've already gotten since 2012 in over a dozen sets. The torso turns red with the blue areas now pad printed and the legs benefit from a two-color molding. It was time. Too bad, the blue pad printed on the chest is not exactly the same shade as the arms and legs.

76113 Spider-Man Bike Rescue

Miles Morales is also an updated variant of the version seen in the set. 76036 Carnage's SHIELD Sky Attack marketed in 2015. Some modifications to the muscles of the torso, but not enough to get up at night if you already have the previous version. I would have put red hands on the character, he often wears gloves with red fingers in the various comics that feature him.

76113 Spider-Man Bike Rescue

Carnage has undergone a nice facelift and the monochrome pad printing now gives way to details in two rather successful colors. I am however less convinced by the tentacles of this new version and I prefer the shape of the eyes of the minifigure of the set 76036 Carnage's SHIELD Sky Attack marketed in 2015. Carnage here uses the back support already seen on the Outriders in the Avengers Infinity War sets.

A note about these minifigs: LEGO could have made the effort to offer us faces without masks for Peter Parker and Miles Morales, just to be entitled to an alternative presentation and to make these figures even more attractive to collectors.

76113 Spider-Man Bike Rescue

In short, nothing to discuss for hours on this box which quite simply offers three updated versions of characters already present at LEGO for several years. The big bike will amuse the youngest and the other construction will quickly end up loose in the bottom of a drawer.

24.99 € for a very small box, it's probably a bit expensive for collectors who already have the three characters delivered here, but it seems almost correct to me for a set which provides young fans with three major minifigs at once from the Spider-Man universe.
