the lego ideas book new edition 2022 1

We are now quickly interested in a book which this year takes over from the first edition based on the same concept and dating from 2011: The LEGO Ideas Book New Edition is, as the title of the book indicates, a collection of construction ideas proposed by some of the most prominent LEGO artists of the moment, such as Rod Gillies, Mariann Asanuma or even Nate Dias and Tim Goddard. The previous edition very quickly became the historic best-seller in terms of LEGO licensed books, the publisher was not going to hesitate to try to repeat the feat by using the same recipe.

Dorling Kindersley (DK for friends) therefore spreads these ideas over 200 beautifully illustrated pages and embellished with some somewhat vague explanations about the techniques presented. This is also the limit of this book to leaf through in your spare time, there are no real assembly instructions inside, you have to be satisfied with the finished models and in the best case of a few exploded views that will have to be observed very carefully in order to hope to be able to reproduce them.

We can not say that the book is sloppy, as is sometimes the case with some of the many books published each year which take advantage of the LEGO license and are content to accumulate full-page 3D renderings. The whole of this book is illustrated with real photos of real creations and it is appreciable even if one has a little the impression to fly over only very quickly the various topics approached.

the lego ideas book new edition 2022 11

It will also be necessary to have a very substantial and very varied bulk of parts to be able to reproduce most of the models offered, which can very quickly become frustrating for some fans even if the children who accumulate the sets in their toy box will undoubtedly find over the pages some ideas to reuse part of their inventory and get a little more out of their parts.

A good point: the book covers a very wide range of themes and subjects, and there is something for all types of fans, from microscale to animal creations, vehicles and fantastic creatures. It will therefore be necessary to leave the object in evidence on the living room table and to come back to it from time to time to really discover all of its content and possibly draw some good ideas from it. It is also what one could call a "beautiful book" with a very accomplished finish, heavy paper, very well-treated photos and a plush cover. If you're looking for something to give a LEGO fan who already has almost everything without breaking the bank, this book may be the solution of choice.

You will therefore have been warned: do not expect a book of detailed instructions, it is simply "ideas" and techniques that can be used as a starting point. It is enough to read the comments of customers disappointed by the previous edition at Amazon to understand the extent of the misunderstanding on this specific point.

Should you spend nearly €30 for construction "ideas" collected in a book that is certainly pleasant to leaf through but whose creative added value becomes a little debatable? Nothing is less certain and I think that a few illustrated construction steps would have been really welcome, especially for the more complex models presented in this book. No more or less exclusive model provided with this book as is sometimes the case with other thematic books, the publisher must have imagined that the reputation of the previous edition would be sufficient to ensure a substantial sales volume.

The English version of this book will be available from September 27 on Amazon, we do not know for the moment if a localization in French is planned one day:

76226 lego marvel spider-man figure 5 1

Today we quickly go around one of the three Action Figures of the LEGO Marvel range marketed since September 1, that of the set 76226 Spider-Man Figure with its 258 pieces and its public price set at 29.99 €.

I won't repeat the whole couplet for you on the very approximate aesthetics of the thing, we already talked about it on the occasion of the Review devoted to reference 76225 Mile Morales Figure. One could also imagine that these two figurines to be built are perfectly identical, they deal after all more or less with the same subject, but this one offers some variations in the assembly which will avoid a certain weariness to those who will offer themselves the all the sets offered for sale. However, LEGO retains the same joints here and, by extension, the same limitations in terms of character mobility.

It should also be noted that this version of Spider-Man incorporates three additional pad-printed parts at the level of the pelvis and the legs and it is perfectly executed: black ink (dark) and placed on a red background (lighter) and it works. The ball joints and other gray notched joints are logically more present on this red and blue figurine than on that of Miles Morales with his black suit. I also note that Spider-man's thighs and calves seem visually oversized compared to the rest of the figurine even if the feet, here in a single color, are on the other hand almost a little more discreet than with Miles Morales then that they are identical for the two constructions.

76226 lego marvel spider-man figure 7

76226 lego marvel spider-man figure 6

For the rest, the back of Spider-Man's head is just as bad as with Miles Morales, the back of the character is also sketchy, it is possible to have a little fun imagining original poses which will only be limited the arrival in abutment of certain textural elements at the level of the arms or the legs and LEGO delivers a handful of white fabrics to be clipped in the hollow of the hands.

In short, the set does not really take human form and we have the impression of dealing with robots or at least with humans in armor and these figurines do not revolutionize an exercise that must be recognized as difficult . Some rounded parts try to soften the shapes in places but the figurine remains a little too coarse to deserve to finish its career as a model placed on a shelf.

The youngest will be satisfied with it, the object is solid and easy to handle and there is enough to have a little fun. Regarding the assembly process, LEGO indicates that these products are intended for children aged 8 and over, but those less experienced will probably need a little help to assemble the ball joints shoulders and ankles that are a bit difficult to build.

So there is something here to please a few children, provided they wait for these figurines to end up at a bargain price at a few overstocked retailers. Which will inevitably happen eventually.

76225 lego marvel moral miles 10

Today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO Marvel set 76225 Miles Morales Figure, a box of 238 pieces which will be available on the official online store and in LEGO Stores from September 1, 2022 at the retail price of €29.99. This product is positioned in the niche of Action Figures with LEGO sauce as other references already do, including the set 76206 Iron Man Figure (44.99 €) available since the beginning of the year.

This version of Miles Morales is a little less ambitious than that of Iron Man, with a much smaller inventory and a much lower public price. The toy obtained at the end of the assembly phase therefore becomes even more minimalist and coarse, but the children will probably not complain.

The emphasis here is indeed on the possibility of making the character take the most varied and improbable poses. The figurine is not stingy with joints and even if most of them remain far too visible not to harm the visual uniformity of the thing, the pleasure of being able to expose this Miles Morales in a really dynamic position is there . The figurine's mobility is only limited by the decorative pieces that come into abutment on the upper thighs, shoulders or elbows, but the range of possibilities remains very fair.

There are no stickers in this box and the different patterns visible on the character's costume are therefore stamped. It's almost successful if we forget the usual differences in hue which are here the consequence of the application of red ink on a black support. The effect obtained remains however acceptable and Miles Morales is not disfigured by this technical detail except for the eyes which are much less white than on the official retouched visuals visible on the official online store.

One could debate the part used to embody the face of the character: it is illusion under certain angles but not under others, in particular of profile and behind. It's hard to imagine the head of a human with this mask which is not for the occasion associated with an assembly that would give volume to the entire head. The piece pretty much worked to embody Iron Man's helmet but it doesn't really feel right to me to represent a more human form that would be wrapped in a loose suit.

The back of the figurine is also not what one might consider very detailed. It's rather sketchy and it's once again the figure's head that shocks a bit with a lot of empty space at the bottom and a clearly visible gray joint.

The solidity is required with the possibility of handling the figurine without paying too much attention, except perhaps for the fingers which are clipped on the hands and which only ask to be unhooked. The designer has thought of integrating a clip that allows the installation of the two fabrics provided and to obtain a visually very convincing effect. The character is also very stable on his two feet which may seem a little oversized to some.

It should not be forgotten that this product is aimed at a very young audience who will want to play with something other than minifigs and then be able to display these figurines on a shelf. LEGO offers here a compromise that seems acceptable to me with a figure that is certainly very basic or even simplistic from certain angles but which offers really interesting playful possibilities.

For 30 € or less as soon as other retailers offer this box at a price much lower than that practiced by LEGO, you should not be too demanding when you know the price policy of the manufacturer but this figurine gets away with it in my opinion pretty good if you take it for what it is: a simple child's toy, well articulated and strong enough to withstand long play sessions.

76405 lego harry potter hogwarts express collectors edition 42

Today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO Harry Potter set 76405 Hogwarts Express Collector's Edition, a very large box of 5129 pieces which will be available from August 31 at the retail price of €499.99. Those who can go to a LEGO Store on Wednesday August 31 can therefore try to quickly assemble the train for a departure on September 1 at 11:00 a.m., like in the movies. Others will have to wait for the delivery of their package. It should also be noted that this product is the testament set of designer Marcos Bessa who managed the return to favor of the LEGO Harry Potter range and who is now changing position within the LEGO group.

This is not the first time that LEGO has dealt with the subject, but until now it had to be satisfied with more or less detailed playsets which sometimes had difficulty satisfying fans dreaming of a more successful version than those of the usual toys. The first interpretation of the train dates from 2001 with the set 4708 Hogwarts Express, it was followed in 2004 by that of the set 4758 Hogwarts Express, then that of the set 4841 Hogwarts Express in 2010, the motorized version of the set 10132 Motorized Hogwarts Express in 2004 and the most recent version dates from 2018 with the set 75955 Hogwarts Express.

According to the designers that I was able to interview with other members of the LAN, this new interpretation of the train was never designed to be motorized and it is simply an exhibition model. static which is not intended to circulate on a circuit of conventional rails. The width of the train was chosen based on the space needed in the passenger car with cabins spacious enough to accommodate the minifigs that populate the different scenes and the possibility of leaving a side corridor for circulation. Many fans were hoping for a motorized or motorizable version that was compatible with the LEGO rail ecosystem, but they paid for it. One question will remain unanswered: is there any point in offering a LEGO train if it cannot be used as a LEGO train?

Let's get rid of the subject of the color of the train right away: we can legitimately wonder why LEGO did not opt ​​for a color Dark Red (dark red) which seems a priori more appropriate for a reproduction of the train seen on the screen and the designers invoke the fact that this color, darker than the classic red, can sometimes take on a brown hue depending on the lighting used. They therefore justify the choice of Ferrari red which for its part could simply become a little darker, always depending on the ambient lighting and thus correspond to the version of the saga.

Why not, we'll settle for this official explanation even if I think the designers also wanted to save themselves the usual drama around the tint Dark Red which is not perfectly uniform depending on the parts. Those who assembled the set 10290 Pickup Truck necessarily remember the glaring differences in color on the vehicle body. And that's not to mention the fragility of some batches of these pieces.

Regarding the dark yellow elements used on the different sections of the locomotive and on the sides of the tender and the wagon, the designers simply invoke the difficulty of producing certain golden parts to justify this aesthetic choice. In the end, we still see that the official visuals have been extensively retouched to let us believe that the train is darker and more golden than it actually is.

76405 lego harry potter hogwarts express collectors edition 24

The assembly process is divided into four separate instruction booklets, so it will be possible to build this model with several, each dealing with the choice of the locomotive of the Hogwarts Express, the passenger car, platform 9¾ of King's Cross or the tender (the coal wagon) and the rails. There is therefore plenty to share the experience with friends even if the locomotive and the passenger car remain the most interesting modules to assemble.

The locomotive of the Hogwarts Express indeed offers its share of very entertaining subsections with some good ideas to obtain the final result even if I do not find on the screen the funnel effect present on the boiler of the LEGO version. The locomotive is by the way the only element of the train that integrates a real mechanical functionality: you can turn the new large wheels of the locomotive using the small black crank placed on the boiler.

The effect is interesting, although far from being as "hypnotic" as LEGO claims, knowing that the locomotive does not roll because it is held in suspension above the rails by some supports placed between the sleepers. It will be enough to go there with an enthusiastic "tchou-tchou" while milling to impress your friends.

The assembly of the two sections of rails that will have to be joined together to obtain the nearly 1m20 long display stand is the most repetitive step of the set. Everything is built in a few minutes and you really realize that you will have to find a lot of space to display this model. This long section of rails can be separated into two parts to facilitate transport and storage of the model, but it will be difficult to display the train on the two separate parts of the display: two pieces of rail straddle the junction.

76405 lego harry potter hogwarts express collectors edition 20

76405 lego harry potter hogwarts express collectors edition 25

The 9¾ platform seems to me a little too compact when it is staged with the rest of the product, it is barely longer than the tender. No "magical" passage through the wall and the designers justify the reduced size of the thing by invoking the obligation to remain "reasonable" in terms of the inventory used in this box. The same argument is invoked to justify the absence of rooms under the platform on the side which will be connected to the rails. It's a bit petty when you know that the public price of this high-end product is set at 499.99 € and some may try to plug the hole or lengthen the existing section by duplicating the construction which has nothing very complex. Nothing serious though, there is often a vacuum under the platform of a real station. Note that you can install the dock wherever you want along the display, the latter being provided with the necessary fixing holes along its entire length.

The single passenger car provided in this box is also very pleasant to assemble with some interesting techniques at the level of the seats and the access to the cabins. Two out of three cabins are identical with attractive pad-printed sliding doors. The cabin which allows to stage Harry Potter, Luna Lovegood and Draco Malfoy (Draco Malfoy) as in the sixth installment of the saga, is arranged differently to conform to the scene seen on the screen.

Each of the three scenes is lit by a classic luminous brick and it will therefore be necessary to hold the finger on the button which protrudes from the roof of the wagon to add a small luminous touch to the scene. If you do not intend to content yourself with admiring your minifigs through the windows of the wagon, you can always remove the removable side sections which allow access to the different spaces. The tender, for its part, goes straight to the point: the interior of the wagon is empty and a few black parts vaguely embody the pieces of coal on the surface.

Some would no doubt have preferred to obtain an additional wagon by sacrificing the level of detail of the internal fittings. The model is already 1m20 long, a few tens of centimeters more would not have changed much and the train would have looked a little more substantial.

The bogies of each of the train's modules are on the whole aesthetically very successful, even if the most keen on the railway world may find them a little too simplified. However, they create an illusion when the model is observed from a certain distance, and that is the main thing. I also think that some fans may be a little disappointed by the general simplicity of the construction by expecting much more elaborate techniques. We stack a lot of smooth surfaces or large sub-assemblies and even if some steps are in my opinion very creative, I can understand the disappointment of some. The inverted assembly of the arches of the quay is rather well thought out, I leave the pleasure of discovering this section to those who will buy the set.

The sheet of stickers here is relatively substantial, especially for a pure display product sold for €500. The stickers on a red background are fortunately matched with the color of the rooms that host these stickers and the model is also flanked by a small presentation plate which brings together a few "facts" of little interest and whose role is above all to give a collector side to the product.

It failed, there are two errors on this plate: The Hogwarts Express locomotive is class 4900 and not 5900 and the station is called King's Cross and not King Cross. These two errors should be corrected soon. Three stickers also show lines of dialogue from the various scenes evoked in the cabins of the train and you will have to be a fan of watching the original version of the films on a loop to really remember these sentences. If you prefer Hogwarts to Hogwarts, these few sentences in English will probably not remind you of much.

The set also includes a life-size ticket in addition to the two minifig-scale copies, the plate is nicely pad-printed and was originally to come with the LEGO Harry Potter set 76391 Hogwarts Icons Collector's Edition. You will easily find a place for it next to Hedwig and the various accessories stacked on the pile of books in the set, there is nothing planned anyway to place it next to the train of this new box.

In the box, 20 minifigs: The train driver, The Trolley Witch, four different versions of Harry Potter, two versions of Ron Weasley, two versions of Hermione Granger, Remus Lupin, a Dementor, Luna Lovegood, Draco Malfoy (Draco Malfoy), Ginny Weasley, Albus Severus Potter, Lily Luna Potter, James Sirius Potter, a student from Ravenclaw house (Ravenclaw) and a student from Hufflepuff house (Hufflepuff).

Nothing crazy about these figurines with a large Harry Potter handle and a large majority of neutral legs whose size varies according to the period concerned as in the rest of the range. The designers specify that the set is an ode to the epic of the young Harry Potter and to the various appearances of the Hogwarts Express through the years and the films, until the epilogue. We will therefore do with this explanation and these figurines.

76405 lego harry potter hogwarts express collectors edition 33

76405 lego harry potter hogwarts express collectors edition 35

As you will have understood, it is a question here of staging these different minifigs with the model to populate this station platform and the train parked in front of it. The idea is not bad with a somewhat empty construction without all these characters, but the public price of the set is necessarily affected by the presence of this quantity of figurines. Many fans will think that it was not necessary to provide these minifigs that any good collector of the range already has multiple copies in his drawers but this product is not intended for them. LEGO is here aimed at the more dilettante fans who only spend their money on a few high-end products to decorate their shelves and who ignore the myriad of small playsets marketed each year and which make it possible to obtain all these characters. It's not a toy, it's a model.

Do not look for a particular explanation for the presence of the two anonymous students in uniform, LEGO confirms having simply added these two figurines to please the fans of the houses concerned and to compensate for the presence of many characters in street clothes. If you are also wondering where the driver delivered in this box and yet never seen on screen comes from, it was added by the designers who claim to have been inspired by the costume worn by Warner Bros. employees. Studio Tour of London who play the role of the driver of the Hogwarts Express.

To conclude, it seems obvious to me that this product is tailor-made for a clientele that is not necessarily the one we usually think of when it comes to plastic toys. This exhibition model and its slew of figurines is aimed at a very specific audience who has the means (and the space) to afford this type of decorative object and who would not have bought a motorized train to watch it anyway. turn in circles on a circuit.

If the set does not convince you, it may not be for you. The fact remains that apart from its few aesthetic errors, its usual syntax or documentation errors and its many slightly scratched black parts, this train to be exhibited is, in my opinion, a fine demonstration of force on the part of LEGO which, even if it was not to break sales records, is a great marketing tool for the brand: even if it was ultimately only to be used to get people talking about LEGO, the objective would, in my opinion, be largely achieved for Billund strategists. I'm not worried for the fans of motorized trains, LEGO will no doubt hear the relative disappointment of the latter and will offer them the expected train in the years to come.

Personally, I'm not a fan enough of the Harry Potter universe to spend €500 on this model train. I prefer to reserve this financial effort for a model of the Star Wars range, even if it is ugly and gray. Everyone has their favorite worlds.

21335 lego ideas motorized lighthouse 1 1

As expected, today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO Ideas set 21335 Motorized Lighthouse, a box of 2065 pieces which will be available from September 1, 2022 at the retail price of €299.99. You probably already know that this official product is freely inspired by the project Motorized Lighthouse originally submitted by Must Build Roses (Sandro Quattrini) and definitively validated by LEGO in June 2021. The adaptation of the initial idea into an official product is in my opinion rather successful, we go from a microscale format with a slightly outdated look to a scale that allows add two minifigs, just to populate the rocky peak in question and add a "human" dimension to the construction which becomes a little more modern.

The name of the product clearly indicates it, this lighthouse is motorized without having to go back to the checkout as is often the case with sets which can possibly benefit from a motorization but for which LEGO imposes to acquire separately the different elements which prevent milling. You will still have to buy the six AA batteries needed to power the supplied motor.

In the box, there is therefore a battery box 88015 Battery Box (34.99 €), a motor 45303 Single Medium Linear Motor initially marketed in 2016 at the retail price of €12.99 in the Education WeDo 2.0 range and since removed from the catalog and a kit of LEDs 88005 LED Lights (9.99 €). These three elements are not high-flying technological exploits and the accumulation of their respective public prices, i.e. 57.97 €, is therefore probably not enough to justify the relatively high price of this product. However, we escape a simple luminous brick whose button you would have to hold down with one hand and a crank that you would have to manipulate with the other to really take advantage of this lighthouse. We can not have everything.

21335 lego ideas motorized lighthouse 4 1

21335 lego ideas motorized lighthouse 13

The assembly is quite entertaining, we start with the base plate dark Blue 32x32 on which the integrated mechanism is installed which will be hidden in the rocky peak on which the lighthouse is installed. This is well done with the battery-operated insert of the Battery Box which will remain accessible from one of the sides of the rock, hidden behind a removable rock wall.

The motor is connected to the axis which rotates the lighthouse lamp and a lever accessible from the "treasure" cave placed under the rock allows the whole thing to be started. The LED circuit is also installed very quickly with a diode which will illuminate the chimney inside the caretaker's house and another which will run along the inside of the lighthouse to illuminate the lamp.

If you intend to acquire this box, don't spoil yourself too much about the different construction stages visible in the photos below, nothing can replace the pleasure of discovery. Don't forget to test the proper functioning of the mechanism before covering the various elements that make it up, you can never be too careful and you will avoid a tedious disassembly and correction step.

The designer has taken a few aesthetic shortcuts at the level of the rock with the use of very large elements which are however a little forgotten when the various finishing touches and the staircase which allows to go up from the quay are in place. The rest of the assembly is rewarding, it's only the various panels that cover the sides of the headlight itself that are a little repetitive, but that's the subject matter.

The construction being collected on a limited surface, some may have a little trouble seeing the 2000 pieces provided even if the set makes a strong impression by culminating at nearly 50 cm high. The inventory is there, however, with a slew of small 1x1 elements.

LEGO has taken the time to do its homework and the manufacturer has endeavored to develop a unique element that reproduces the effect of a Fresnel lens by multiplying the light intensity and the range of the lighthouse lamp. It's very well executed and thanks to the mirror sticker integrated into the rotating support, the effect is really convincing on arrival, especially in the dark. For those who are interested, LEGO went through many prototypes before obtaining the perfectly adapted element and a visual illustrating the different options considered by the manufacturer is in the instruction booklet:

21335 lego ideas motorized lighthouse 21

The purpose of the product is to be able to take advantage of the promised functionality built into this headlight. LEGO does not disappoint and the rotation of the lamp is fluid provided you have perfectly positioned the last gear at the end of the axis which goes up along the walls of the lighthouse and which drives the plate with the mirror and the lens. Regulars of LEGO motorization systems suspect it, the mechanism that puts the lighthouse lamp in rotation is really very noisy, and I don't see many people letting it run even for a few minutes on the corner of a shelf.

We can ask ourselves the question of such a debauchery of motorization elements for a simple lamp that turns on itself, but I would have been the first to regret not having the right to a functional headlight if LEGO had done the 'dead end. We will therefore take advantage of the integrated functionality sparingly, just for the pleasure of seeing this headlight come into action in the dark and trying to convince ourselves that the investment was justified. It's up to LEGO to work now on the sound level of its motors so that the pleasure is not spoiled by this background noise which quickly becomes unbearable.

The caretaker's house is well laid out and the removable roof allows you to take advantage of the premises a little so as not to be satisfied only with the visibility offered during the assembly phase. This pretty house is also the guarantee "details and finish" of this model whose rock with its lawn in visible tenons and the lighthouse remain relatively simplistic for a top-of-the-range model. The interior space of the guardian's accommodation is, as is often the case with LEGO, too small to really enjoy it, but we know that the furniture and details are there. On the headlight wall, three side panels can be removed very easily to provide access to the internal space. The possibility has the merit of existing but it is anecdotal, there is nothing inside except for a few ladders instead of the expected winding staircase.

The front of the house is pad-printed and everything that is not on the sheet of stickers that I scanned for you is therefore printed as usual. The number of stickers to be installed in different places remains limited, but the one that takes place on the boat is a little missed with smudges that are not at the level of what one would expect from a top-of-the-range product sold at strong price.

The manufacturer provides two minifigs in this box: the lighthouse keeper and a young woman rowing in her boat. The two new minifigs are nicely executed, they bring a little life to the construction. Too bad the boat can't really be better stored on the base plate, just to contain the diorama in the space delimited by the latter.

21335 lego ideas motorized lighthouse 19

21335 lego ideas motorized lighthouse 2 1

At €300, this set is obviously a niche product reserved for lovers of coastal dioramas who will undoubtedly find what they are looking for. This pretty lighthouse, too expensive to be really accessible, will effectively decorate a thematic diorama alongside the sets 21310 Old Fishing Store et 910010 The Great Fishing Boat, you will undoubtedly see it staged in all the exhibitions that will take place at the end of the year or next year.

More generally, only those who do not pay for these "adult" products or who have ample means to afford them find that their retail price is "reasonable", in an attempt to justify the skyrocketing prices or even try to show us with biased graphs and dubious statistics that LEGO products do not increase over the years, but we must know how to be honest: end of the world or not, inflation or not , new parts or not, the range of LEGO products aimed at adult customers accumulates products presented as high-end with the arbitrary pricing that goes with it. And it's more and more expensive for a few kilos of plastic even if some of these models are impressive and detailed. And for those who desperately cling to the martingale of the price per piece, I remind you for all intents and purposes that a kilo of tomatoes can contain more or less tomatoes depending on the size and therefore the weight of each of them. , there will always be a kilo...

Many adult fans have traditionally been content to collect the best-designed and most detailed children's toys sold at relatively affordable prices. LEGO has chosen to directly and very regularly target these "historical" fans as well as the brand's new customers with logically higher purchasing power than children who count their pocket money, and it is becoming increasingly difficult not to not have to be very selective to stay within the budget allocated to this hobby. It will therefore be without me, I could have added a lighthouse to my collection on a whim, but not at 300 €.
