Planet Series: a Lobot or nothing ...

I don't deny it: I like this Planet Series mini-range. It's cute, compact, it's collectable, it lands on a shelf without disfiguring the living room and it takes up the emblematic machines of the saga. But make no mistake, with this range, LEGO organizes and organizes what we already know with the range of mini sets in boxes or bags that can be obtained on Bricklink or eBay because we do not see them never arrive in France. We add the ball-planet plastic, a minifigure and presto it's done.

Where I'm going to complain again is when I realize that the set 9677 X-Wing Starfighter & Yavin 4 is none other than a vulgar repackage of the X-Wing of the set 30051 X-Wing Fighter released in bag in 2010, and reissued in 2011 with the new official look. An effort would have been desirable: change a few parts, change a color ... just to convince us that this model is the latest to date, and that it is better than all the others.

The and 9678 Twin-pod Cloud Car & Bespin is already much more interesting: I am not a Lobot fetishist as there are on various forums, but the unique minifigure of this character dating from 2002 (7119 Twin-Pod Cloud Car) deserved a new version. The machine is successful, as far as possible with as a reference the model of the film seen in theEpisode V The Empire Strikes Back which is awful all the same. Orange, red ... I prefer orange.

We will not dwell on the 9679 AT-ST & Endor. We no longer know what to do with all these AT-STs at all levels and at all levels.

Regarding the planets, I'm not sure what to tell you. It is a nice storage for the rooms. And maybe a nice Christmas decoration to put on the tree ...
Roughly speaking, if I listened to myself I would only buy the 9678. But that's without counting on the collection virus ... Well, at € 9 at P&P, we will survive ...
