The movie Avengers: Infinity War is now in theaters so it's an opportunity to quickly talk about the set 76108 Sanctum Sanctorum Showdown (1004 pieces - 109.99 €).

And as much to kill the suspense right away, I find that this box is a real success, both in form and in substance. As usual, there is no question of making a Prévert-style inventory here, we quickly go around the set, just to give you some impressions.

The two facades provided, the Sanctum Sanctorum and the building where Peter Parker's apartment is located, have nothing to envy to the best buildings of the Creator Expert range (Modulars) and they will fit perfectly into a street made up of other constructions from this range.

The most meticulous can always improve the finishes of the two facades with a few Tiles to hide the visible tenons and fill the holes left by the parts Technic.

Best of all, the playset can be reconfigured with different angles to form a linear set or a street corner.
The piece of sidewalk with the trash can and the newspaper kiosk will be used to block the two facades at an angle of 45 °, it's ingenious. In a linear position, it completes the diorama at the end of the street.

Inside the two buildings, LEGO has this time left some room in the different rooms for young fans to play comfortably with their minifigs. The set is a bit thicker than the cinema fronts usually supplied from LEGO in licensed sets.

Each room is equipped with accessories or furniture, without overdoing it. The adult fan will see many nods to the Marvel universe, the child who will be offered this box can have fun in each of the rooms easily identifiable by its content.

Since it is a playset, we find here some nice features that will amuse the youngest: Explosion of walls and windows, hatch, launching of minifig from the roof, water tower on which the spider web thread to pull up Iron Spider, etc ...

It's pretty complete and playable. The Infinity Gem is hidden behind one of the building's walls, I won't tell you more.

Interesting detail, the playset closes on itself to form a single coherent building which will serve as a bonus as a storage box for accessories and minifigs.

It will then slip easily between two constructions in a diorama of Modulars provided you remove the spider web-based mechanism visible in the photo below.

The assembly moves easily once closed. A locking latch would have been welcome to allow younger children to store their playset without risking accidental opening.

For those who are interested, 18 stickers dress the whole, including a few cobwebs placed on the windows and on the walls.

The endowment in characters of this box is very correct with from left to right below the figurine of Cull Obsidian, Ebony Maw, Iron Man (MK50), Dr Strange and Iron Spider. We would always like more, with why not a Peter Parker in civilian clothes or an additional villain, but it is already very correct.

Overall, there isn't much to fault about the pad printing of each of these minifigs. Iron Man comes here with a face mimicking the armor facial HUD and that's a good thing. Those who prefer to leave the minifigure with a standard face will only have to turn their heads.

Only regret, Iron Spider did not have the chance to inherit legs molded in two colors. The pad printing only on the front therefore falls a little flat.

Dr Strange keeps a pad printing and a face similar to those of the minifigure seen in the set 76060 Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum (2016) but the hair delivered with this new version really improves the final look.
The area that is supposed to be in Flesh (flesh color) at the level of the neck is as usual a little pale because struck without underlay on the dark blue chest. The cape is now in two pieces.

Finally, LEGO delivers in this box a slew of "Power Blasts", these translucent accessories that allow different characters to materialize their different powers or weapons. There are enough of them to equip everyone with many variations, including several elements that serve to reproduce the trails left by Iron Man's thrusters This is a good point for playability.

In the end, I say yes. This set is proof that it is possible to produce content on a theme that often gives pride of place to machines, ships and other vehicles by offering a play area that does not only serve as a pretext to sell us some minifigs at the price strong.

The word playset takes on its full meaning here, and everyone will find something for it: The youngest will feast on the many features on offer and adult fans will find something to organize a convincing little diorama here.

The set is already available at a slightly lower rate at the retail price charged by LEGO, which makes it really essential. If I only had to buy one box of this new wave of sets based on the film Avengers: Infinity War, it would be this one.

Today we are interested in the second set of the LEGO range Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom which features an enclosure and a dinosaur which inevitably tries to escape: The reference 75927 Stygimoloch Breakout (222 pieces - 39.99 €).

The enclosure is here attached to a small laboratory, it is always that taken. It is obviously Dr. Henry Wu (BD Wong) who officiates in the lab in question and this set has at least the merit of allowing us to obtain a new minifigure of the character.

Until now, you had to buy the set 75919 Indomins Rex Breakout, sold 129.99 € either the most expensive box of the range marketed in 2015, or the special edition from the LEGO Jurassic World video game to get a Dr. Wu minifigure.

The set offers a minimum of playability with the various integrated mobile elements: The enclosure door opens by sliding upwards, the door and the window of the laboratory give way under the blows of the Stygimoloch.

No fun for hours, but this set is once again a addon almost correct for a fan who already owns a few other boxes. Here, the enclosure is at least closed and the set is not satisfied with a piece of fence ...

The minifig endowment is very limited. We are therefore satisfied here with a fairly neutral Dr. Henry Wu and a guard armed with a hypodermic rifle with a generic outfit already seen in several other sets of the same range.

For those wondering, the Stygimoloch is not a hybrid dino cobbled together by Wu. It is a real dinosaur. Too bad the LEGO minifigure looks more like a DUPLO toy than anything with this look ...

40 € for that is once again really too expensive for an interesting character whose minifigure is still very basic and for a dinosaur as exclusive to this set as it is. As for the set 75931 Dilophosaurus Outpost Attack, a simple quad would have brought a little playability by allowing the guard to go in pursuit of the Stygimoloch ...

It's a shame, even if we manage to find some good sides to these Jurassic World sets, their high public price always ruins the party ...

Obviously, I say no. It's too expensive and everything in this set is ultimately just a pretext to sell us a dinosaur figurine exclusive to this box.

The LEGO range Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom consists of a whole series of boxes of more or less obvious interest and whose public prices in principle allow all fans to participate in the party whatever their budget.

Billed 49.99 €, the set 75931 Dilophosaurus Outpost Attack (289 pieces) is positioned in the middle of the range even if its content does not in my opinion justify such a price.

I can't help but think that every time LEGO saves at least one vehicle in a box of this type intended for the youngest, the latter does not deserve to be sold at such a prohibitive price. . And in this set, there is no vehicle, not even a simple quad which would have brought a little consistency to the whole.

The "playable" structure of the set comes down to a piece of enclosure with a sketchy gate, a minimalist fence and a gatehouse that does not even deserve this name. LEGO calls it all a "outpost"in the official description. A little pretentious.

The manufacturer also promises us "explosion functions of doors and walls". We calm down. We push on a button, the gate is released. We push on another button, the front of the monitoring station falls. That's all.

The small crane placed on the fence will not help much. We are in 2018, it takes a little more to tickle the imagination of the fans. LEGO doesn't even make the effort to give it a use in the official description, just stating that the guy sitting upstairs will "get off the crane".

The collector will obviously look to the characters and dinosaurs provided. The three minifigs are just two guards and a tracker, certainly well equipped, but whose outfit is identical. The female guard didn't even have the honors of a proper torso. It's mean. These generic outfits can eventually be used to create some agents of SHIELD ...

For those who are wondering, the guard on the left below is wearing the hairstyle of Mister T. seen in the LEGO Dimensions Fun Pack 71251. The same element is also available in red in two Ninjago sets: 70640 SOG Headquarters et 70643 Temple of Resurrection.

On the dinosaur side, the Dipholosaurus is obviously exclusive to this set, just to motivate collectors. The pad printing of the figurine is successful, we once again avoid the side too cartoon.

The baby green dino is also included in the set 75933 T. Rex Transport.

In the end, I say no. This set is way too expensive for what it offers. The reference 75928 Blue's Helicopter Pursuit, sold at the same price, seems to me more appropriate for a young fan eager to reproduce the action scenes of the film. We will talk about this in a few days.

Without transition, we continue today with THE big box of the LEGO range Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom : the and 75930 Indoraptor Rampage at Lockwood Estate with its 1019 pieces, its 6 minifigs, the Indoraptor, a Velociraptor (Blue), a baby dinosaur and its retail price of € 139.99.

We know that LEGO constantly seeks to optimize the content / price / profitability ratio of its products and there, it really begins to be seen ... Despite a rather attractive visual at first glance, this set to the glory of the Indoraptor n in the end, an imposing, almost empty shell that is more reminiscent of a movie set than the building seen in the film trailer.

I will spare you the description of the micro-spaces presented as elements of playability with "... 3 story building, with configurable walls, museum, laboratory, office, bedroom, removable windows, roof collapse function and a large buildable triceratops skull ..."

As usual, LEGO makes a lot of promises that rely exclusively on the imagination of the youngest ("... Place baby Velociraptor in the lab and perform DNA tests.. "). In some cases, replicating the adventures of our favorite heroes no doubt makes sense. But that's not always enough. What kid will spend hours at"perform DNA tests"Or hide Maisie under the bed in the micro-bedroom after getting her parents to spend $ 140 on it?

It is not a building, moreover, whatever LEGO may say. It is a facade. The various spaces pompously described in the official pitch of the set are often too cramped to hope to play with and function "roof collapse"comes down to a lever that must be pulled to tilt the mini-canopy.
Even the youngest will probably not find what they are looking for. A truck or a helicopter will undoubtedly offer more possibilities. On the building experience side, don't expect the techniques present in a set Structure of the LEGO Expert range, this is not the principle developed here.

Wanting to do too much, LEGO still sells us a dollhouse whose only interest lies in the pseudo-modularity of the walls. Certain elements can indeed be presented in a configuration different from that proposed by default to try to give a little depth to the whole. The idea is interesting.
The problem: LEGO does not provide a baseplate in this box and it becomes difficult to move the set without breaking everything. A base plate would also have made it possible to define more precisely the interior of the building and to plug in the various characters and their accessories to store everything on a shelf.

The museum promised in the description comes down to a hall flanked by two large stickers and a buildable Triceratops skull. The latter is also rather successful. By the way, there are only five stickers in this set: the two brick facades, the two museum posters and the computer screen on the first floor. Nice effort.

The facade of the Lockwood Residence also has its flaws. The two brick inserts are actually two huge stickers. A shortcut that smacks of economy. The two side structures are empty and the interior arches intended to create an artificial depth are really reminiscent of a cardboard movie set.
LEGO has planned that fans might take it upon themselves to flesh this out by placing connection points for Technic pins in different places, but I'm not sure there are many customers who will invest in two or three boxes.

The endowment in minifigs of this set is correct with on one side Owen Grady (Chris Pratt), Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) and the little Maisie Lockwood (the one hiding under the bed).
If you want an Owen Grady minifigure in this outfit without breaking the bank, the same version comes in three cheaper sets in the range: 10757 Raptor Rescue Truck (€ 29.99), 75926 Pteranodon Chase (24.99 €) and 75928 Blue's Helicopter Pursuit (49.99 €).

Claire Dearing is also delivered in the same outfit in the sets 10758 T. rex Breakout (29.99 €) and 75929 Carnotaurus Gyrosphere Escape (89.99 €).

To accompany our hero duo and Benjamin Lockwood's granddaughter, LEGO provides us with Eli Mills, Gunnar Eversol and Ken Weathley. Not much to say about these three minifigs without pad printing on the legs before seeing the film. We know that Eli Mills (Rafe Spall) is present in many scenes of the film. Ken Weathley, here armed with a hypodermic rifle, also comes in the set 75928 Blue's Helicopter Pursuit (49.99 €).

Finally, and because it is especially for the dinosaurs that many will buy these boxes, this set allows to obtain the Indoraptor, Blue the friend of Owen also delivered in the set 75928 Blue's Helicopter Pursuit (49.99 €) and a baby dinosaur (the one you can experiment with in the lab on the first floor).
The pad printing of the Indoraptor is not perfect, I note on my copy a difference in color and a shift in the green band printed on the ABS plastic body and the flexible plastic tail. Too bad, especially at 140 € the dino.

In summary, this set is in my opinion way overpriced for what it has to offer. It's an expensive spin-off that gives a few nods to the action in the movie without really turning the scene in question into a real toy. We find ourselves once again with a compromise which is not in my opinion satisfactory: behind the pretty facade presented on the box, there is not much really consistent.
The youngest can have a little fun destroying the building with the Indoraptor provided (all windows are removable) but I still think that the play potential of this set is much lower than that of other boxes in the range, however. much cheaper.

LEGO having sent me all sets System de Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom range and the set which makes the link with the 1993 film, you will be entitled to a series of tests which will allow me to share with you some impressions, taking into account that the film has not yet been released and that it It is therefore difficult to judge the relevance of the content of these different boxes.

Were you expecting a big 3000 piece playset with 30 minifigs as a tribute to Jurassic Park? With a Jeep? The gate to the park entrance? It missed. But LEGO does not forget the fans of the first film of the franchise released in 1993 and still offers a small box that brings together some cult places and scenes.

The and 75932 Jurassic Park Velociraptor Chase (49.99 €) is based on a film already released, the problem of the consistency of the content of this derivative product compared to the content to which it refers does not therefore arise.
It's more of a somewhat messy and awkward digest of what many of us have certainly remembered for 25 years than a real playset, but we have to deal with it.
There aren't all the characters in this little box either that we would have liked to get, but it is after all just a nod for nostalgic fans and not an exhaustive inventory.

The proposed construction does not offer any particular challenge here and is content to vaguely represent different spaces seen in the film Jurassic Park. The control room door can be blocked by the integrated mechanism and the bay window stamped with the park logo is removable.
That's it for the features. Ah, I forgot, you can hide Lex in the kitchen cupboard ... We won't play long with this set, the scene deserves more to be displayed on a corner of the shelf than anything else.

That being said, this little tote playset wraps around a few scenes and locations we all remember: The Jelly Spoon shaking in Lex Murphy's hands chasing between the two kids and the two Velociprators in the kitchen. , the sequence in the control room in which Lex reboots the system while Grant and Ellie fight the Velociraptor trying to break down the door or the theft of embryos in the storage space.

LEGO has even added a bomb of Barbasol shaving foam, too bad it is not pad printed with the logo of the brand while this discreet container used by Dennis Nedry to steal embryos has been the object over the years of many derivative products.

Here we have to be content with four minifigs: Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and the two grandchildren of John Hammond, Timothy and Alexis Murphy. No Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight), although the character appears on one of the screens in the control room (You didn't say the magic word ...), no John Hammond even if Richard Attenborough who died in 2014 would have really deserved to have a minifigure in his likeness, no Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) ...

Double face for everyone except Alan Grant who inherits a hat that would have left the alternative face visible on the back of the minifigure. For form, LEGO provides some hair if you fancy ridding the character of his iconic hat.

I note that Tim and Lex are actually not here in the outfits seen in the kitchen scene or in the kitchen scene. reboot of the system. We will do with it.

It is also minimum service on the side of the Velociraptors, two copies would have been welcome to materialize the terrifying scene for my childish eyes during which Tim and Lex play hide and seek in the kitchen for long minutes with the two dinosaurs.

Everyone will also have an opinion on what LEGO could have offered to expand this set, some will regret the absence of the cold room adjoining the kitchen, others the lack of important characters, etc ... endless debate.

As far as I'm concerned, it's really the absence of Dennis Nedry that bothers me the most here, while several elements directly related to the character are present in the set. I have many memories of the different scenes with this somewhat wacky character with a tragic fate.

But you can't have it all, and so I'm happy to be content with this somewhat minimalist set that interests me more for the different winks it offers than for the contents of the box. We had to make choices, LEGO made them for us, we will have to live with them.
