I had forgotten this box in a corner, but it still deserves a brief attention. So today we are talking about the LEGO DC Comics set 76111 Batman: Brother Eye Takedown (269 pieces - 34.99 €).
Let's face it, this set mainly allows us to obtain two unseen minifigs in the LEGO DC Comics range. The rest of the contents of the box are not without interest, but many fans will remain a little dubious in front of the half-ball with one eye delivered here alongside the Batjet.

And this ball is Brother Eye, the satellite that houses an artificial intelligence capable of taking control of OMAC (One Man Army Corps) and impart different super abilities to him. If you don't flip through a few DC comics on a regular basis, you're no further ahead.

In this box, Brother Eye serves above all as a service villain to knock out with the Stud Shooters of the Batjet. A welcome little refinement, the satellite is equipped with a light brick that reveals a pretty pattern of printed circuits. The effect is very successful but you have to keep your finger on the button as usual. It is not possible to leave the light brick on.

In order for Brother Eye to stand up, it is also necessary to focus on orienting the two "feet" of the thing correctly. It is laborious and quickly annoying. An orbiting satellite normally doesn't need feet, but a young fan playing on the carpet in their bedroom doesn't care about these kinds of considerations.

To defeat Brother Eye, LEGO delivers a rather successful Batjet. It's simple, the finish is not exceptional, but the tradition is respected: The machine looks almost like a bat when it is laid flat.

The cockpit is spacious and well equipped, it can accommodate Batman who will however have to remain in a reclining position to be able to close the canopy and you can even customize the look of the craft using the slew of copper-colored Bat-symbols provided in a small bag apart.

The machine can be handled without breaking everything and it will easily find its place in a Batcave. Important precision, there is no sticker in this box, everything is pad printed. The feat deserved to be highlighted.

It is obviously on the side of minifigs that collectors will look to judge the interest of the set.

LEGO does not disappoint here with two very successful new minifigs: Batwoman and OMAC The Batman minifig version DC Renaissance is for its part already appeared (without cape because of glider / jetpack) in a box marketed this year, the set 76097 Lex Luthor Mech Takedown (44.99 €).

Batwoman is almost perfect if we forget the lack of red boots. The pad printing on the torso alternates between simple prints that highlight the athletic side of the characters and fine details on the red belt.

White head for a convincing effect through the mask which incorporates the character's red hair, the effect is convincing. The visor which frames the character's gaze, on the other hand, is of little interest, it disappears under the mask.

OMAC is also very successful. The pad printing is superb, too bad LEGO did not take the attention to detail to the legs of the minifigure. The blue punk crest does the job.

There is only one copy of this character in this box and it's a shame. We will console ourselves by saying that it is therefore the Buddy Blank of 1974. Two or three copies would have allowed to give a little more consistency to the army of soldiers controlled by Brother Eye in the arc Infinite Crisis.

Finally, as I mentioned above, LEGO provides a small bag containing several Bat-symbols that can be used to customize the Batjet or possibly serve as a weapon for Batwoman.
It is always that taken.

I say yes because the set allows us to get two really new characters and just for that. The rest of the contents of the box leave me a little indifferent, so I will wait for a promotion that will allow me to offer myself this set at around 20 €.

Note: The set shown here is put into play as usual. To participate in the raffle, simply post a comment on this article before December 25 at 23:59 p.m.. You have every right to disagree with me, this is not eliminatory.

Imminent availability for the set 76127 Captain Marvel and The Skrull Attack whose official visuals are now live on the manufacturer's server.

In the box, 307 pieces and 3 minifigs (Talos, Nick Fury and Captain Marvel) accompanied by Goose, Carol Danvers' cat.

Barring a last-minute surprise or exclusive set not yet unveiled, this box will likely be the only LEGO derivative based on the film expected in theaters in March 2019.

The first trailer for the upcoming Avengers, titled Endgame, is available and it's also an opportunity to take stock of what we know about the sets planned to accompany the film's release.

Thanks to Amazon Spain, we discover at least five references to vague (and provisional) titles for which we also have the number of pieces:

Do you want more ? According to Chris MacKay, the director of the animated film The LEGO Batman Movie who answered a question on Twitter, a second part would be planned.

This "confirmation" of the start of a second opus of what would become a saga is not yet official, Warner has never communicated on the subject so far. We will know in due course if the project goes to the end and if the film ends up in theaters one day ... In the meantime, we know that Batman will be present in the second installment of The LEGO Movie saga.

We are working on that rn actually! In the meantime LEGO Batman is all over LEGO 2 coming in February.
