Today we quickly go around another new polybag available since the beginning of the year: the reference 30455 Batmobile, with a vehicle inspired by the muscle car modified piloted by Batman in the film which will be released in theaters on March 2. The 68-piece bag also serves as a loss leader for the set 76181 Batmobile: The Penguin Chase (29.99 €) also available since the beginning of 2022 with a slightly larger Batmobile in the box.

We are not going to make tons of it, this micro-Batmobile is struggling a little to convince. The lines are there, but the set remains very coarse and will only bring back a few memories to all those who, like me, had Majorette or Hot Wheels toys during their childhood. If we accept that this was the goal sought by LEGO, then this bag does the job rather well.

As with other polybags, the absence of a minifig to accompany the machine to be built significantly reduces the interest of the thing. A Batman figurine would have been welcome in this one, just to give a little punch to this product which is not in principle intended to be offered at LEGO and which is only available for sale at a few retailers.

In short, the packaging is attractive, the content is a little less so and there is nothing to get up at night. The most complete collectors of the LEGO DC Comics range will not be able to ignore this new reference, the others can save their pocket money to afford the more elaborate version of the vehicle available in the set. 76181 Batmobile: The Penguin Chase.

If you want to assemble this Batmobile without going to checkout and using the parts from your bulk, know that the instructions are available for download at LEGO at this address (PDF, 1.06 MB).

This polybag is currently available for sale at JB Spielwaren (€ 3.99), at Brickshop when there is stock (3.99 €) and more expensive but in volume on Bricklink (from 4.99 €). I haven't seen it on the shelves of a French brand yet, it's up to you to tell me if you've come across it in your favorite toy store.

Note: The polybag presented here is as usual put into play. Deadline fixed at 16th February 2022 next at 23pm.

We continue today with another new bag that you will have to try to find on the shelves of a toy store or at an online retailer: the LEGO Star Wars reference 30495AT-ST. This polybag of 79 pieces allows you to assemble an AT-ST in Hoth version and this unpretentious bag makes direct reference to the set 75322 Hoth AT-ST (586 pieces - 49.99 €) available since January 1st.

The AT-ST to be assembled here is obviously ultra-simplified but the result obtained is in my opinion very correct considering the subject treated and the limited inventory. The notched parts used for the legs seem to promise greater mobility than that of the large model sold for €49.99, but this is not the case. It is certainly possible to loosely orient the two legs of the machine, but it is almost impossible to find a position that allows it to stand up. Small significant refinement: the cabin rotates 360 °, it is also rather well dressed for a version on this scale.

Even if this AT-ST is not a very exciting model, it remains in my opinion still more pleasing to the eye than those already marketed in bags by LEGO, I am thinking in particular of the two versions delivered with the official LEGO Star magazine Wars, with a classic AT-ST in 2018 then a AT-ST Raider in 2021, or polybag 30054AT-ST of 2011.

Too bad LEGO does not deign to add a minifig in the bag, just to really promote the Hoth theme in the spotlight at the start of the year in the LEGO Star Wars range. The presence of a rebel soldier or an imperial pilot would inevitably change the perception of the product with all those who hesitate to spend their money on these uninteresting mini-models which generally end up at the bottom of a drawer after assembly. As it is, this sachet only deserved to be offered for example for the combined purchase of the three references on the same theme launched in January: 40557 Defense of Hoth, 75320 Snowtrooper Battle Pack,and 75322 Hoth AT-ST.

To try to end on a positive note, this AT-ST can possibly be used in a diorama that implements a forced perspective effect. It is all I have.

Note: The polybag presented here is as usual put into play. Deadline fixed at 14th February 2022 next at 23pm.

On the way for a new teaser sequence that will culminate in the official announcement of a 2022 novelty in the LEGO Technic range. The visual above leaves no room for doubt, it is a Formula 1 car and the visual below confirms that it is a McLaren. The latest rumors announce us for their part the reference 42141 and a public price fixed at 179.99 €. To be checked during the official announcement of the product or on the occasion of yet another leak that will spoil the marketing campaign orchestrated by LEGO and McLaren...

When LEGO holds an idea, it must be declined in all sauces. The VIP plate 5007016 VIP 1950's Retro Tin offered last November from €250 of purchase on the official online store must have found its audience because the manufacturer is now reusing the concept in the form of new thematic VIP rewards. On one side a plaque celebrating the LEGO CITY STUNTZ range with its small pull-back motorcycles and on the other a plaque celebrating the 10th anniversary of the LEGO Friends range with the five girlfriends but without the logo used for the campaign around this anniversary .

These two products are identical to the vintage version already offered in 2021, they are 30x15 cm plates, without wall fixing or kickstand on the back and they are made in China by a subcontractor specialized in derivative products for companies, the company RDP Creative.

It is necessary to convert 1200 VIP points to obtain a plate, that is to say the equivalent of approximately 8 € in exchange value. As usual, the conversion of your points allows you to obtain a unique code to use during a future online order on the Shop, you will have 60 days from the date of issue of the code to use it. . Only one code for a promotional object per order, it will therefore be necessary to place two separate orders to obtain the two plates. It's up to you.
