Polybags are products that are always loved by fans and children, especially when they are licensed and even more so if they contain something new or exclusive. Offered on the official online store for a promotional offer or offered for sale by a brand specializing in toys, these bags often delight the most complete collectors and children who are trying to optimize the use of their pocket money.

2022 will once again be a busy year in diverse and varied bags with many references, some of which are now known through LEGO and some specialist retailers. As for the usual licenses, we will note a Batmobile, inspired by that of the film The Batman scheduled for theatrical release in March 2022, which will also be available on a more consistent scale in the set 76181 Batmobile: The Penguin Chase from January 1st, an AT-ST in "Battle of Hoth" version which echoes the set 75322 Hoth AT-ST expected on the shelves from January 1, 2022, a Monkie Kid polybag with two skeletons, two Ninjago bags, one of which is even a 2-in-1 product with the possibility of assembling an alternative model in addition to the one planned, a polybag under Minecraft license with Alex accompanied by a turtle and the usual Creator, City, Friends DOTS or even DUPLO references which will always be good to take in exchange for a few euros or a reasonable minimum purchase.

To download the instructions in PDF format for some of these sachets:

The December 2021 issue of the official LEGO Star Wars magazine is available on newsstands and, as planned, we can obtain a Republic Gunship of 51 pieces exclusive to the publication. The model seems rather successful to me, it is necessarily less ambitious but also more economical than that of the set 75309 Republic Gunship sold for € 349.99.

If you want to assemble this Republic Gunship without having to purchase this children's magazine, the official instructions along with the inventory, all in PDF format, are available. at this address.

The next issue of the magazine is expected on newsstands for January 12, 2022 and it will provide a Snowtrooper armed with his blaster. At 5.99 € the magazine, I'm not sure the proposal is really competitive against the Battle Pack 75320 Snowtrooper Battle Pack which will be offered at the public price of € 19.99 from January 1st with its 105 pieces and four figurines including three Snowtroopers in the box.

Note that it is now possible to subscribe for a period of six months or one year to the official LEGO Star Wars magazine via the abo-online.fr platform. The 12-month subscription (13 issues) costs € 65. The logistical concerns encountered by the publisher during the launch of this subscription offer are now resolved and the magazines are now delivered on time.

The German brand JB Spielwaren today unveils four 2022 novelties brought together under the title LEGO Marvel Spidey and his Amazing Friends, these four sets are references stamped 4+ which are therefore intended for a very (very) young audience. However, they will also allow you to obtain some new minifigs that collectors love ...

For those who are wondering, these Spidey and his Amazing Friends sets are products of the eponymous animated series launched in 2021 on the American channel Disney Junior.

Availability announced for January 1, 2022, these products will probably also be online on the official store during the day (links below).

Today we are very quickly interested in the content of the LEGO Ninjago set 71763 Lloyd's Race Car EVO, a small box of 279 pieces which will be available at the public price of 29.99 € from January 1, 2022. The designers of the wave of Ninjago products which will be marketed at the beginning of next year have confirmed, this series of boxes does not is not directly based on a particular arc of the saga and it is therefore more or less timeless products that pay homage to old references by trying to bring them a touch of modernity and modularity under the name EVO.

The Lloyd vehicle in question here is probably not unknown to you, you have necessarily come across the sets somewhere 70641 Ninja Nightcrawler (2018) et 71700 Jungle Raider (2020). We therefore find here the green body dressed in golden elements characteristic of Lloyd's favorite car and LEGO promises us a "transformable" vehicle that would go from the state of a simple buggy to that of a "more powerful and faster" vehicle thanks to adding some decorative elements.

It is not in reality, we simply go from a vehicle that is not finished to a machine loaded with various and varied elements that give it an acceptable appearance. This nickname EVOutivity will perhaps amuse the youngest, but there is in my opinion not enough to make it a major feature of the product knowing that the passage from one stage to another is only identified by the change of bag and does not arise from a possible challenge.

The final vehicle is also rather convincing when it is equipped with all the elements presented as "modular" and covered with the half-dozen stickers provided. It has allure, it remains easy to handle without breaking everything and it will just be necessary to put up with the canopy which does not completely cover the cockpit. at 30 € per product, you shouldn't expect mechanical refinements like steering or suspensions.

To be able to play with two people with the contents of this box, LEGO provides something to assemble a mini-quad piloted by Cobra Mechanic. The machine is not very exciting and it is a bit painful to see alongside the big green car but it at least has the merit of being provided and offering playability to the product. Still in the gameplay area, we get three new Stud Shooters two of which are placed on the hood of Lloyd's vehicle, the third one being a version designed to be held in the hand by a minifigure.

The principle of this accessory remains the same but its design has evolved and this angular aspect allows an integration without doubt more discreet than usual. Those Stud Shooters are always delivered disassembled in two parts to be assembled, the firing pin being larger than in previous versions and therefore less likely to get lost during assembly. Nothing to say about their operation, it always works and LEGO will generalize their use in this range from the beginning of next year. The accessory will also be found in other ranges, for example in the LEGO DC set 76181 Batmobile: The Penguin Chase.

Another detail presented as a playful novelty: the presence of new flags in the various boxes which are planned for the semester 2022. It will obviously be a question of encouraging children to collect these pad-printed objects distributed in the different sets, other ranges are regularly entitled to this type of collectible coins to motivate the purchase of all the references available on the shelves, fans of the Harry Potter universe who are still chasing the Chocolate Frog cards know something about this. Eight different banners are currently available, so you will have to break the bank to bring them together. The graphic designer has done his homework correctly, the designs on these banners are attractive.

Three minifigs are delivered in this box: The owner of the vehicle, Lloyd, and two opponents: Cobra Mechanic and Python Dynamite. The pad prints are successful, LEGO provides a mask and hair for Lloyd, the three characters are well equipped with various accessories, everything is there. Lloyd's minifig is not exclusive to this box, it is only found with its mask in the sets 71757 Lloyd's Ninja Mech et 71767 Ninja Dojo Temple, and complete with her hair and her mask in the set 71766 Lloyd's Legendary Dragon .

In short, this product sold for 29.99 € offers plenty of fun without having to go back to the cash register and that's already a good thing. Car race, clash with shots Stud Shooters, the possibilities are there. The marketing argument of the evolutionary vehicle seems a little pretentious to me, the intermediate versions look more like assembly stages than separate vehicles and this very relative modularity only takes the object from a basic structure a little stripped down to an acceptable finish. In the end, this "generic" set still remains in my opinion a good product which should delight young fans who arrived late in the Ninjago universe and who are looking to build a collection.

Note: The set presented here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at December 22, 2021 next at 23pm.

Update : The winner was drawn and notified by email, his nickname is indicated below.
