Marvel's Spider-Man contest on PS4: close-up of the exclusive Miles Morales minifigure

A few months ago, LEGO, Marvel and Sony brought into play an exclusive Miles Morales minifigure in Classic Suit during a contest reserved for US residents which involved finishing the video game Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4 by obtaining the trophy "End Game"and then to have luck in the draw. We know via settlement of the transaction that 1650 copies of this minifigure were produced and put into play.

Some lucky ones were rewarded for their perseverance and they finally received the promised minifigure. I was able to negotiate with one of them, invoking in particular the relatively large quantity of copies involved, to buy back the thing from him at a much more reasonable price than that usually charged. by the few sellers who offer this minifig for sale with auctions that regularly exceed 1000 €. Few copies have already been offered for sale, which undoubtedly explains the soaring prices charged and it is obvious that the 1650 copies have not all been distributed to date.

The object comes in the plastic packaging that everyone who collects the exclusive LEGO Marvel and DC Comics minifigs put into play at the various conventions is familiar with. The cardboard insert also takes the usual dressing.

The minifig is exclusive to this operation and unlike the three versions already available from LEGO, it benefits from a pad printing extended to the legs. The first minifig in version Ultimate Spider-Man of the character appeared in 2015 in the set 76036 Carnage's SHIELD Sky Attack, followed in 2019 by the variant of the set 76113 Spider-Man Bike Rescue then this year of the version Bodega Cat Suit of the set 76171 Miles Morales Mech Armor, this last minifigure being based on an outfit available in the video game Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

This new and exclusive version adopts the outfit Classic Suit also available in video game Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales and who made his first appearance in the comic Ultimate Comics Spider-Man Vol 2 # 5 in 2012. The pad printing is rather very faithful to the character's outfit with its red V-shaped covering on the chest, its patterns embodying the belt, its legs with the knee pads and the toes of the outfit with its red areas.

The printing is not of an irreproachable quality, we will note some visible defects in particular at the back of the head and at the level of the centering of the red V on the torso. The relative good news for collectors of minifigs in the LEGO Marvel range: The character has been available in classic sets since 2015 and this expensive variant will not prevent them from adding the young Miles Morales to their collection.

So far I have only seen a large handful of copies of this minifigure on eBay and I wonder where the 1650 copies that were in principle put into play have really gone. It's hard to know how many players will have really tried their luck in the drawing of lots on the occasion of this competition reserved for Americans which mainly required to finish the video game Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4 by beating Doc Ock in the final confrontation and by obtaining the trophy "End Game".

If the operation with its two-step mechanism has not been able to seduce a large audience of video game and LEGO fans, we are also not immune to seeing one day the remaining stock of this minifig reappear. on the occasion of a new promotional operation ...

Review : LEGO Star Wars 77904 Nebulon-B Frigate

02/01/2021 - 18:21 In my opinion... LEGO Star Wars New LEGO 2020 Reviews SDCC 2020

Today we are interested in the LEGO Star Wars set 77904 Nebulon-B Frigate, a box of 459 pieces which was only marketed across the Atlantic via the official online store and at Amazon. The set was sold at the public price of $ 39.99, since its sale it has been a hit with resellers on the secondary market where you currently have to spend a little more than € 70 excluding delivery costs to acquire a copy.

I ordered three copies from Amazon US as soon as the product went on sale, I repatriated the package via Shipito, I offered a copy, I keep one and I will therefore give you some impressions of this product at using the third copy received.

Putting aside the current price of the product in the aftermarket, I think this is a really nice set that deserved better than being an exclusive product at a canceled convention, San Diego Comic Con 2020. La The box still bears the mark of this exclusivity and LEGO has not bothered to modify the packaging of the product before ensuring its distribution through other channels.

The ultra-limited availability of this reproduction of the escort frigate Nebulon-B, which boils down to an exhibition product, only served to remind many fans that the ship had so far never had the right to a "general public" interpretation. Yet it would be difficult to imagine a version "System"of this vessel which would not be accompanied by a support to allow the frigate to stand upright and the scale of this small model is a compromise which seems to me acceptable.

The support provided here is sober enough not to spoil the setting and the ship, about thirty centimeters long, holds without tipping even by shifting it a few studs. The most observant will have noticed the micro-Millennium Falcon stowed under the central section separating the life modules from the engines of the vessel, the wink is appreciable.

The internal structure of the ship uses a few colored elements which bring some variety to the inventory and make it easier to locate during assembly. The exterior finish is mainly in two tones and it gives pride of place to what is called the "greebling", a technique which consists in creating surface details using various and varied elements.

Microphone, revolvers, roller blades, monochrome minifig heads, ski poles, binoculars, skeleton feet, everything goes and in my opinion it is very successful. The counterpart to this overbidding of small elements: a relative fragility of certain appendages which will tend to come off easily. This frigate being a pure exhibition product, it is ultimately not a problem and the central section is strong enough to allow the suspension of the model, I know that some love to hang their vessels from the ceiling with fishing line.

This frigate is not to the scale of any other ship available in the LEGO Star Wars range but it will easily find its place alongside some of your UCS sets (Ultimate Collector Series) thanks to the presence of the usual small black display. Too bad that LEGO did not crack a sticker with some characteristics of the ship, history of making a mini UCS (!).

In short, this pretty product could have joined the collection of any fan of the LEGO Star Wars range if its distribution had been more global, but unfortunately you have to agree to pay at least double its retail price to be able to exhibit it on a shelf alongside other vessels in the range.

With all of the expense of ordering from Amazon and reshipping through Shipito, the three copies I received ended up costing me as much as if I had ordered through the aftermarket, but I at least got the satisfaction to fend for myself without having to call a reseller and I do not regret this investment. It is you who see, depending on your desires and your means, if the purchase is justified at the current prices. on Bricklink ou on eBay.

If you are not interested in the box, you can easily reproduce this ship using the instructions in PDF format, the set does not contain any exclusive element apart from the sticker which pays homage to the 40th anniversary of theEpisode v.

Note: The set presented here, purchased by me, is put into play. Deadline fixed at January 15 2021 next at 23pm. "The" I try, I participate "are automatically deleted, make an effort.

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.

Hoth Bricks Post Calendar # 3: A set of LEGO Technic sets to be won

Penultimate step of the Post 2020 calendar in Hoth Bricks version with two very beautiful boxes from the LEGO Technic range put into play: The sets 42115 Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 (379.99 €) and 42107 Ducati Panigale V4 R (59.99 €): the common point between these two sets, they both have color difference problems on some parts that annoyed many fans and the winner will probably have to call customer service to obtain elements of replacement. But since he saved the modest sum of 439.98 €, he will certainly do so with a smile.
