There will be at least a second set based on the film Thor: Love and Thunder to accompany the reference 76208 The Goat Boat already online on the official store: the set 76207 Attack on New Asgard is indeed already available in at least one store in Turkey, the LEGO Store at Istanbul Airport, where an Instagram user (the.brick.wolf) was obviously able to acquire it for 20 €.

This product which brings together the minifigs of Mighty Thor, Thor and Gorr is not currently listed on the Shop, it should in principle be available on the same date as the other box already known and which is announced for the 26th April 2022.

Today we take a quick look at the contents of the LEGO Technic set 42139 All-Terrain Vehicle, a box of 764 pieces which will be available at the retail price of €74.99 from March 1, 2022.

This set in the soft belly of the range which could go a little unnoticed is a toy intended for the youngest fans of the Technic universe, the theme covered is attractive and original enough to interest them and the few on-board functions allow a first initiation to some assembly principles that are recurring in this range.

It is therefore a question here of building a six-wheeled all-terrain vehicle, freely inspired by the vehicles offered by brands such as Polaris or Can-Am. To make sure to seduce its potential customers, LEGO covered the body of the machine with colorful stickers, it's always sexier than an all-green forestry machine.

Under the hood, a two-cylinder engine with moving pistons and a 2-speed gearbox with neutral. This is enough to present the LEGO version of these features without imposing too complex sub-assemblies which could put off the youngest. The yellow pistons remain visible on the sides of the vehicle and will make it possible to understand the impact of changing gear via the dedicated selector on their speed of movement. In neutral position, the pistons no longer move, it's as simple as that.

The three independent axles are equipped with suspensions, it will be necessary to load the dumpster of the vehicle to really see them in action. The machine is indeed a little too light to take advantage of its suspensions without pressing on it when traveling, but once again the youngest can easily understand the principle thanks to this model.

The machine is equipped with a winch at the front and the pawl which blocks the unwinding mechanism of the line is as often maintained by a simple rubber band. Access to the function is deported to the side of the vehicle with a small easily accessible lever, the pawl being placed under the driver's seat. The winch cable, the usual single string, is then raised via a wheel placed on the other side. The bucket of this ATV tilts to empty it, it is also sufficient to activate the lever provided. The steering is functional, it is accessible from the handlebars of the machine.

All these features are identified and illustrated via very explicit stickers placed near the mechanisms concerned, difficult to do more educational. The lower part of the ATV is not streamlined, so all you have to do is turn the vehicle around to see the differentials and the gearbox at work.

The 27 cm long, 13 cm wide and 11 cm high machine comes with a few accessories that allow you to fill the rear tipper: four trunks and a pretty chainsaw that even has the luxury of being "functional" with a chain that rotates freely around its two axes.

The set therefore has everything on arrival to attract the youngest, with an original look, colorful bodywork and a few simple but easy-to-understand features that will later allow you to approach more complex products without apprehension. This ATV is in my opinion a very convincing entry point into the LEGO Technic range and only its relatively high public price for a box of less than 800 pieces including 230 pins could discourage parents. We will therefore wisely wait for Amazon to break the price of the product before cracking.

Those who follow the usual channels know that this is not the first appearance of the LEGO set 40530 Jane Goodall Tribute, but one LEGO Certified Store Singapore posted the "official" visual above and so it gives me the opportunity to talk about it here without being slapped on my fingers by LEGO.

This promotional set will be offered from March 3, it honors the famous scientist, adventurer and activist Jane Goodall, recognized worldwide for her research on the relationship between human beings and animals. The base takes the shape of that of the set 40450 Amelia Earhart Tribute offered at LEGO last year at the same time, a few days before International Women's Day which takes place on March 8 each year.

If the minimum purchase was €100 last year to get the set 40450 Amelia Earhart Tribute, it will be necessary this year to spend in France at least 120 € to be offered this new promotional product.

Rumor has it that it could be a promotional product offered on the occasion of the launch of the LEGO set 10298 Vespa 125 but it won't: the LEGO Creator set 40517 Vespas is now referenced on the official online store and this box is simply a product from the catalog which is displayed at the public price of 9.99 €.

In the box, 118 parts to assemble a red version of the mythical scooter a little less ambitious than the blue one: the model measures 12 cm long by 6 cm wide and 9 cm high. This product will be available from March 1, 2022.

LEGO CREATOR 40517 VESPA ON THE LEGO SHOP >>


Today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO set 10298 Vespa 125, a box of 1106 pieces stamped 18+ which will be available from March 1, 2022 at the retail price of €99.99. Purpose of the product: to assemble a Vespa 125 scooter freely inspired by the VNB1T version marketed in the 60s.

During my younger years, I was more a fan of the Peugeot 103 SP than of the Vespas, so I have no particular memory linked to this vehicle. You will tell me that I have never had a Porsche or a Corvette, but that did not prevent me from buying the two vehicles in this range formerly known under the title "CreatorExpert"As soon as the first visuals of this new product were put online, my first reaction was to ask myself if it was really useful to go to so much trouble to offer us a simple scooter, however stylish it may be.

But the Vespa brand has its followers, it is cult for many of those who used these vehicles during their teenage years and this LEGO version is like the yellow yogurt pot of the set 10271 Fiat 500 a "popular" product that many have actually known and driven. The icing on the cake, the current models of the brand always pay homage to the lines of the historical variants and this pretty model of a vintage version becomes almost timeless.

On the official visuals of the product, the model seems of a simplicity that could put off all those who expect from these constructions of the "Expert" type a real pleasure of construction and their usual lot of original techniques. Rest assured, this scooter is a little more complex than it looks and the experience of assembling this somewhat unusual and surprising model is well up to the task. One may wonder where the 1106 parts of the set are, but they are mainly hidden under the very large body parts.

The floor of the scooter is made up of a few Technic beams and stacks of parts which ensure optimal rigidity to the model. It is on this internal structure that various body sub-assemblies are then added, the inclinations and angles of which are subtly managed. There is no escaping the use of a few very large parts, but their presence ensures maximum respect for the curves of the machine. Color fans Bright Light Blue moreover here will get nearly 440 elements in some are unpublished in this hue.

Hidden under the right wing of the scooter, which is adorned with a sticker embodying the air intake, the horizontal single-cylinder 2-stroke engine has been carefully reproduced by the designer of the set with its carburettor and its cooling circuit. The motor cooling cover is nicely stamped, LEGO must have imagined that this relatively neutral design element could be used later in other sets.

The retractable double stand, the exhaust, the starter pedal placed under the engine and the rear brake pedal are also present and very faithful to the elements of the reference vehicle. No suspension spring with hydraulic shock absorber under the driving rear wheel, but you can't have everything. At the front, the steering is obviously functional and the oscillating suspension hub carrying the front wheel is rather well reproduced with some metallic parts as a bonus. The element used was already delivered in the LEGO Technic set 42130 BMW M 1000 RR where he fitted the front wheel of the machine.

On this model, the 8-inch wheels with their stamped steel rims are here embodied by new elements in two colors. In the 60s, not all Vespa 125 scooters benefited from this aesthetic refinement, but this new part flanked by the six nuts used at the time really gives character to the model. It is here associated with a new tire whose tread pattern is perfectly adapted. For those who are wondering, the central part of the rim is attached to the contour with an overall diameter of 6cm.

The upholstery is also very well reproduced, it is in principle equipped with a suspension device with central spring adjustable according to the weight of the driver. We will content ourselves here with two raised blocks of rooms which create an illusion. The spare wheel, optional at the time, and here attached to the interior reinforcement of the front apron and the block of parts is presented as covered with a cover in the colors of the brand.

The odometer embedded in the headlight in the center of the handlebar is a sticker, as is the horn placed just above the front wheel (see plate scanned by me). The handlebars are in my opinion the least successful part of the model, one wonders a little what the case is doing there, placed upside down and the front apron does not go up high enough in my opinion to cover the axis of direction. The set remains acceptable but the designer could have taken care of this detail a little more.

On arrival, this Vespa 125 looks really great and the few accessories supplied with the vehicle break up the monotony of the blue of the bodywork. You get a luggage rack, a crate with a bouquet of flowers and a vintage helmet with its glasses for the driver. The helmet with "Minion" effect is in my opinion not the most successful element of the set but we will be satisfied with it.

Did our shelves absolutely need a blue scooter 35 cm long, 12 cm wide and 22 cm high? Everyone will have an opinion on the relevance of the product and it is normal, knowing that it will be necessary to pay a hundred euros to afford this model. I must admit that I am seduced by this model which offers its share of details very faithful to the reference vehicle and curves which are up to the homage that LEGO wanted to pay to the machine.

The only real criticism that I have to make is not new: we always see the differences in color between different pieces of the same color. It's subtle, you only notice it under certain lighting conditions, but these differences are there whether on the bodywork, the upholstery or the "cover" of the spare wheel.

It's up to you to see now if you will have to crack as soon as the product is launched or wait for this box to be available at a lower price elsewhere than at LEGO. We all know that nostalgia has a price, but patience is often rewarded.

Note: The set presented here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at March 9, 2022 next at 23pm.
