6864 Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase

Another review well provided in pictures at FBTB with the set 6864 Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase.

Nothing very exciting to say about this set, almost everything has already been said. If Two-Face alias Double-Face at home sports this magnificent orange and purple costume, it is not a fad of LEGO, it is in reference to a very old comic version of the character. Two-Face is accompanied by two assorted acolytes. 

On the vehicle side, the Batmobile is ultimately very classic and in the comic spirit of the set. Once again we find the inevitable flick fire missiles for the playability alibi. The cockpit can accommodate Batman's minifigure and Two-face's truck, matching the villain's costume, also has flick fire missiles, after all why not...

The bank, the safe, the banknotes and the two vehicles give this set many possibilities that the youngest will appreciate: chases, bank attack, etc ...

Finally, this set contains the new orange brick separator recently released.

In short, nothing to hesitate, it will be necessary to obtain this set to obtain the new Two-Face, another Batman minifigure, some additional characters always useful, a Batmobile and a good batch of nice parts in unusual colors.

6862 Superman vs. Power Armor Lex

If you follow this blog, it has not escaped your notice that LEGO offers a printed comic with most of the sets in the Super Heroes range (6857, 6860, 6862, 6863 and 6864). Only the 6858 set is delivered without this paper comic.

Hinckley posts on Eurobricks a review of the set 6862 Superman vs Power Armor Lex in which he posts some pictures of this long awaited mini comic. In the end, nothing to whip a cat. The comic is not localized according to the language of the country of marketing, and for good reason: the only texts present are onomatopoeias typical of the world of superheroes (POW, BOOM, BAM, etc.) and therefore do not require linguistic adaptation.

The drawings seem to be of a good level but we are closer to cartoon than Stan Lee comic. As for the format, we get a mini-brochure, without a hard cover. 

I'm a little disappointed, I expected something a little more elaborate. But let's not sulk, it's included, it's included in the price and we'll do with it.

6862 Superman vs. Power Armor Lex

FBTB publishes a review of the set 6862 Superman vs. Power Armor Lex, with beautiful images. If you don't want to read what the guy wrote, I'll summarize it here in two lines: The set is super-mega-cool except for the scene on the box which the man finds improbable in Superman's universe. .. There follows a whole theory on kryptonite, Wonder Woman and its role as victim, etc, etc ....

In short, to get to the point, go directly to the dedicated flickr gallery to this set and admire the great shots in it. For the rest, you are able to form your own opinion.

You know my aversion to bad reviews, I don't hide it. What I expect from a review is not so much the often subjective opinion of the person who makes this presentation of a set from all angles or a string of notes each more stupid than the other, that a presentation in order of the contents of this set.

Finally, I tell myself that I prefer more and more the reviews of a new style that abound on Youtube: The reviews in pictures, without comments or unnecessary blah on the second page of the instruction booklet or on the beauty Le Corbusienne of the edge of the box.

artist, best known for its successful MOCs but sold at a high price, offers us here two excellent quality video reviews of the sets 6863 Batwing Battle Over Gotham City et 6858 Catwoman Catcycle City Chase.

The background music is annoying, but you can mute the sound and enjoy these superb photos expertly put on video so as not to miss any of the new releases to come and get an idea of ​​the content of these sets which promise to be simply exceptional.
