Another summer review of a polybag, and this time it's 30162 Quinjet that it is. It is a good idea for LEGO to reproduce in mini size or tiny or micro (It's as you want ...) this machine seen in The Avengers and which was entitled to its LEGO System version in the set 6869 Quinjet Aerial Battle (available for 62 € on amazon.it).
For once, the transition to the mini format is quite successful, the lines of the ship are there, and we really have the impression of being entitled to a miniature version of the System version.
This polybag is not yet available for sale on Bricklink or eBay, so we will have to wait to get it. It makes you wonder where Artifex gets all these exclusives now ... I see you coming, don't make me say what I didn't say ....
For the more daring or the impatient, the instructions for this polybag can be downloaded here: 30162 Quinjet.
(Thanks to Valentin for his email)
The Tumbler Madness doesn't seem ready to end, and ZetoVince responds to _Tiler's creations with its version of the well-named Tiny Tumbler.
Let's not forget that ZetoVince is a bit at the origin of this whole series of brilliant Tumblers with the one he proposed at the end of 2011 (see this article). Since then, the different versions of each other inspired by his work have followed one another. _Tiler also presented some mini tumblers of his own and ZetoVince has just made his counter-proposal with the model above.
Let's hope that this (almost) collaborative work will continue for our greatest pleasure and that LEGO is monitoring all this very closely in order to draw some good ideas that would please the fans that we all are ...
If you want to follow the constructive exchanges of the different MOCeurs around these mini Tumblers it is on flickr that it's happening.
We are starting to get used to these exclusive minifigs that LEGO sows everywhere: In video games (LEGO Batman II DC Super Heroes with Lex Luthor), in the books (Batman Electro-Suit in the encyclopedia LEGO Batman The Visual Dictionary), in the Blu-rays (Young Han Solo in the Blu-ray The Padawan Menace) ... And it seems that the video game LEGO Lord of the Rings whose release is announced for the end of October 2012 is no exception to this fashion.
Indeed, a guy who knows a guy who works at Gamestop could have obtained the still unconfirmed official information that the video game would soon be offered for pre-order in a limited edition accompanied by an exclusive Gandalf The White minifigure.
No trace for the moment of this offer on the site in question, but we still have time to see it appear. As usual, if you want to acquire the minifig on its own, you will have to turn to eBay or Bricklink.
Artifex is particularly productive at the moment and the reviews follow one another at a frantic pace. It is also paradoxical, with the large community of fans, the forums which bring together thousands of members, the blogs and websites by the hundreds, we always come back to the same when it comes to having a review. online a few days after (sometimes before) the marketing of a set.
In a few months, Artifex got everyone to agree, and even if some here consider that we are only talking about him, I must say that I do not have too much choice in terms of reviews: If I'm looking for something concise, aesthetically successful and without unnecessary and redundant comments, I come back to the gentleman's reviews, at least when it comes to the latest news.
So, admire the work, get an idea about this set, and then decide if it is worth integrating your collection ...
This is not to add that I am posting here the latest review of Artifex, namely that of the contents of the tin can sold by LEGO for the modest sum of $ 40 at the last Comic Con in San Diego and that I presented to you two weeks ago.
Obviously, as a good collector of Star Wars sets, I hastened to get it on eBay from a seller who is keen to make a little margin when he returns from the show. As a reminder, this limited edition consists of the Darth Maul in The Clone Wars version identical to the one distributed for some time in promotional bag (Reference 6005188), and some parts allowing to assemble a very ordinary mini speeder.
To tell the truth, I almost find that the box is more interesting than its contents, that is to say ...
- crazy : I remembered a more advanced technical model at the time...
- Ced. : This mech fever is crazy!...
- Ced. : That makes it a big dragon!...
- spike : I mate... and it's a failure! 😅...
- Ptitemuca : Connection with the film, I didn't think I'd see it in Lego one day...
- Julydelespace : Cool, I know someone who will like it....
- Ptitemuca : It's beautiful to see!...
- Emmanuel Guinard : I find it visually quite successful, too bad for the styles...
- Vampyroz : Clearly, plastic capes are becoming really trendy...
- Vampyroz : Very nice and sober, it's a change from the black and white already offered...
