Today we take a very quick tour of the content of the LEGO Marvel set 76249 Venomized Groot, a box of 630 pieces sold since August 1 at the public price of €52.99 on the official store and in the LEGO Stores.

To put this product in context, know that it is inspired by the third season of the animated series Marvel's Spider-ManEntitled Maximum Venom and broadcast in particular on the Disney + platform and not from the series of animated short films entitled I am Big also available on the Disney + platform as I have sometimes read. The character in question here is therefore a “venomized” version of Groot, the reference visual of which you will find below:

If you have the construction of the LEGO Marvel set on hand 76217 I am Groot (476 pieces - €49.99), you will undoubtedly find something to fill your shelves a little more with this new figurine, perfectly in line with the one marketed since summer 2022. The two figurines are in fact identical in their construction and there is no only the “venomization” of the 2023 version to bring some logical aesthetic variations.

It's visually a little messy in places, the head is a little fragile even if the figurine is stable on its supports, we don't escape the usual Ball Seals gray which stand out at the joints and there is a relatively large sheet of stickers associated with the inventory provided. There are still a few pad-printed parts in the box with the character's single eye and the row of teeth a little less white in real life than on the official product visuals.

Bonus delivered directly in the box: the possibility of completely "venomizing" the character using the last bag which includes the black and white parts necessary for the ultimate transformation of the figurine. It's a good idea even if this possibility obviously encourages you to purchase a second copy of the product to be able to have both versions at the same time and display the three figurines side by side to obtain a coherent whole. You will then be left with a large handful of unused coins as a bonus.

Please note, the total transformation of Groot into Venom is not documented in the instruction booklet in paper version and you will absolutely have to use the LEGO Builder application (iOS version ou android version) dedicated to instructions in digital format. It's a bit petty, all it took was a few additional pages like the sets in the LEGO DREAMZzz range to be able to take advantage of all the possibilities of the product without having to use a smartphone or tablet.

There is no point in dwelling on the subject, it's almost cute, the partial "venomization" is rather well executed and the figurine can possibly take some interesting poses.

Displayed alone, it will not have as much effect as in the company of the two other existing versions, but LEGO has followed through on the ideas and absolute fans of the character will inevitably find what they are looking for. You must therefore consider paying the modest sum of €155.97 to be able to have the collection bringing together the three variants of the character, this is the (high) price to pay to follow LEGO in its logic and impress your friends.

We briefly talk about the contents of the LEGO set 40596 Magic Maze, a box of 332 pieces which will soon be offered subject to purchase on the official online store and in the LEGO Stores.

I'm not making a drawing for you, it's about putting together a little game of skill which involves moving a ball around a circuit to take it to the exit point of the maze. There is no tilting mechanism for the game board and you will therefore have to grasp the construction by the two side handles which reuse the headlights of the vehicle from the LEGO Technic set 42154 Ford GT 2022, minus the pad printing.

The labyrinth is assembled very quickly, it is made up of a few mini biomes with their obstacles that are more or less easy to cross, including a blind section and it will really take a lot of skill and patience to overcome this challenge. For my part, I quickly gave up, the test quickly becoming more annoying than fun, especially in the section based on red crates. A second ball is provided, it is held in the rubber supports attached to the edge of the board.

Bravo to LEGO for the effort to offer a product that is intended to be fun, colorful and accessible to all, but the level of difficulty of the product will force those who do not have the required dexterity to quickly give up and put the construction away. a drawer. Whatever the minimum amount required to spend on products sold at their public price to obtain this little box, it will in any case be too expensive even if the object seems attractive at first glance.

There will remain those who will benefit from the varied and colorful inventory provided with the bonus of two bees and two ladybugs, both pad printed, or who will try to modify the circuit to make it easier to navigate, they will perhaps find what they are looking for because the starting idea with the board reinforced by a few Technic beams is there and you just have to change the arrangements to vary the pleasure and the level of difficulty.

We don't yet know how much you will have to spend from October 1st to get this little box, probably €150 judging by the relatively substantial contents of the product. It's you who will see when you go to checkout whether the effort required is justified or not, I won't get up at night for this toy which is certainly creative and colorful but not really playable.

If you set out to collect the entire mini collection of LEGO promotional products entitled Houses of the World, know that the content of the fourth and last reference of this collection, the set 40599 Houses of the World 4, is now known via the posting online of a visual on the service which hosts the instructions LEGO products.

This new product features a typical Asian construction, as usual you will have to pay at least €250 and purchase products at their usual public price via the official online store or in a LEGO Store to get it as a gift.

Today we are discovering a new LEGO product which should soon be available upon purchase on the online store and in the LEGO Stores, the reference 40596 Magic Maze which has just been added by the manufacturer to the Shop US.

In the box, 332 pieces to assemble a "magic maze" measuring 24 x 22 cm with which it will then be possible to test your patience and skill by rolling the ball provided between the different obstacles to reach the exit point. A bit like with the LEGO Ideas set 21305 Maze in its time but without the mechanism which allows the tray to be oriented. Here, you have to grab the tray and orient it manually.

We do not yet know the exact conditions of the offer which will allow you to receive this new box next October.
