76218 lego marvel sanctum sanctorum 1

Today we take a quick tour of the LEGO Marvel set content 76218 Sanctum Sanctorum, a box of 2708 pieces that will be available from August 1, 2022 at the public price of 249.99 €.

This crossover between the LEGO Marvel range and the universe of Modulars LEGO was expected, so it takes place with this reproduction of the New York premises of Greenwich Village occupied by Doctor Strange.

Exit the minimalist playset of the set 76108 Sanctum Sanctorum Showdown (1004 pieces - 109.99 €) marketed in 2018, make way for a more detailed version of the places which therefore takes up the usual recipe for Modulars with its qualities and its defects. We are not going to complain too much to see this product arrive on the shelves, the Marvel universe at LEGO is often content with ships and other vehicles and the manufacturer only rarely offers emblematic places.

This was the case last year with the visually somewhat sad reproduction of the set 76178 Daily Bugle, and the choice of Sanctum Sanctorum with its architecture very close to those of existing constructions in the range of Modulars was an opportunity to make it a nice module to place at the end of the street without spoiling the aesthetics of LEGOville.

If you have already assembled a Structure, you necessarily know the tricks of the concept: a 32 x 32 base plate on which we install a piece of sidewalk and some exterior elements, an assembly process that is intelligently distributed between the construction of the walls, openings in the facade and interior furnishings and on arrival a detailed construction whose different levels can be removed to access the internal spaces and enjoy the amenities therein, often at your fingertips.

76218 lego marvel sanctum sanctorum 19

The furniture installed in the various rooms of this building is largely of the level of what is generally obtained with Modulars and it is logically adapted to the theme and context concerned. The ground floor features the grand staircase which takes up most of the available space, but the designer still managed to slip a small secret room behind the steps with a few accessories including the Orb of Agamotto, the Stone Time and a medium to secure the Book of the Vishanti.

The first floor obviously leaves room for the upper landing of the staircase and there is a library that hides the passage to different destinations embodied by large stickers. It is enough to move the sliding panels using the external air conditioning units placed in the back of the construction to change the visual present behind the door, it is ingenious and well integrated. We only regret that the positioning of the panels does not allow the stickers to be perfectly centered in the door frame.

The second floor houses a few relics and other mystical artefacts that are more or less irrelevant or anecdotal, but access to it is complicated: no stairs are provided despite the opening on the floor. This is where the iconic round canopy of this New York building is installed, with a nicely pad-printed and rather well-integrated element, being held by two droid arms and plated behind the opening. The flat roof is then reduced to a few plates flanked by very successful chimneys which give a little height to the whole construction and a few accessories, that's enough.

No tiling on the floors and it's a bit of a shame, the Holy of Holies probably deserved a little more attention at floor level to give it the necessary cachet, knowing that the first floor is content with two strips of a few hold on the sides and only a handful of Tiles additional would probably not weigh on the manufacturer's margin.

76218 lego marvel sanctum sanctorum 14

This product is a Structure but it is also and above all a set in the Marvel universe, so it was logical that LEGO offers us some features relating to the subject treated. There are therefore three openings in the walls of the building which can be blocked by interchangeable and reversible modules in order to make the construction more or less marked with the Marvel imprint.

Gargantos makes an appearance here, he can either come out of the wall or invade the library on the first floor. The poster announcing the exhibition on Captain America must be rotated 90° depending on the location chosen, all of this is frankly successful and adds an interesting dynamic to the product. LEGO also provides two transparent rods to plug into the different open tenons available on the facades, you can stage your minifigs there to give a little more volume and dynamism to the whole.

The building occupies only part of the base plate, we are used to it and it is here for the good cause with easy access to the various planned functionalities even when the construction will be leaned against another Structure at the end of the street. There will remain a dark alley between the two buildings, with its bins and waste, and it will be possible to slip your fingers there to add or remove something and manipulate the two air conditioning units.

This product being a full member of the universe Structure of which it takes all the codes, it is inevitably a little empty on the two sides which are in principle intended to face other constructions of the same type. Those who hoped for a truly independent product are therefore at their expense, this is not the choice made by LEGO.

If you find that this Sanctum Sanctorum lacks a bit of volume, nothing prevents you from buying two copies and tinkering with the ultimate building. I'm not sure that the game is really worth the candle, the result obtained with a single box seems sufficiently convincing to me and the building is in the state easily presentable alone on a shelf by positioning it correctly.

The winks and other more or less obvious references to the Marvel universe are numerous here, they are for many of them embodied by the slew of stickers to stick during assembly. Two sheets are provided, they include 45 stickers, some of which have a transparent background so as not to risk the inevitable difference in color with the rooms that host them. It's a shame, you can still see the glue and it's almost worse on arrival on some parts.

76218 lego marvel sanctum sanctorum 22

The endowment in minifigs is correct here without being breathtaking. There are nine characters and it's never enough when it comes to collecting figurines from the Marvel universe.

We get a new version of Ebony Maw with a more successful head than the set 76108 Sanctum Sanctorum Showdown but a pair of neutral legs, I prefer this more sober version to the previous one, too bad for the legs. We are also adding to our collections a new version of Wong with a new torso, the head available since 2021 and a pair of neutral legs which necessarily breaks the dynamics of the character's outfit a little.

Iron Man is delivered here in MK50 version with his new helmet, Spider-Man is supplied with a head already seen but a new torso and pair of legs. We salute the effort on the pad printing of the arms but there is still work to be done so that the red color is perfectly matched with that of the torso, head and legs. In the state it is a little missed.

Scarlet Witch is equipped with a head of hair with a molded tiara but here we have a really more accomplished pad printing than on the figurine from the series of collectible characters (71031 Collectible Minifigure Series) who was already using this accessory. Neutral legs on a superb new torso surmounted by a very appropriate angry face, you can't have everything.

Karl Mordo returns to LEGO after a first version based on the film Doctor Strange delivered in 2016 in the set 76060 Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum and this new minifig from the movie Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is rather successful even the piece of fabric pales in comparison to Strange's plastic cape. The hair is well textured, the torso is very worked and there are only the neutral legs which once again spoil the figurine a little.

Sinister Strange's complexion is a little too yellow for my taste, but the minifig is generally very correct with an outfit consistent with that of the film. The legs are identical to those of the Doctor Strange minifigure delivered in this box and already seen in the set 76205 Gargantos Showdown available since the beginning of the year.

Finally, LEGO will undoubtedly have wanted to avoid the scars and the emaciated face of the Zombie Strange seen in the cinema by composing a less gory minifigure and by drawing on the visual identity of the fifth episode of the animated series What If ...? Why not, it also works like that and the degraded version of the outfit matches that of the other two figurines.

Finally, I think this product is overall very convincing with a construction that will provide a good dose of pleasure to fans of the Marvel universe thanks to the many references and winks scattered throughout the floors and which will allow all those who like me are not fans of Modulars to have a taste of exercise for once.

This set achieves its goal, it finally allows to assemble a Sanctum Sanctorum credible and up to what we could hope to obtain one day at LEGO beyond the usual minimalist playsets and it is also an opportunity to add some minifigs to our collections, whether variants or new characters at LEGO. The public price set at 249.99 € unfortunately does not put this box within reach of all budgets and it will probably be necessary to be patient to find it elsewhere than at LEGO at a more reasonable price.

10305 lego icons lion knight castle 14

We continue today with a quick overview of the content of the LEGO Icons set 10305 Lion Knights'Castle, a large box of 4514 pieces including 22 minifigs which will allow from next August 3 and in exchange for 399.99 € to assemble a strong tribute to one of the emblematic universes of the brand.

As with the other set celebrating the brand's 90th anniversary this year, the reference 10497 Galaxy Explorer (99.99 €), it is obviously not an identical reissue of the set 6080 King's Castle which could be considered as the reference product and which was much less ambitious and above all less expensive.

The public price of 399.99 € leaves no room for doubt, LEGO goes there frankly by offering a huge playset which will undoubtedly end up as a simple exhibition product for the majority of nostalgic fans who will acquire it. The product is designed to provide playful possibilities when fully or partially open and to occupy a smaller space when closed in on itself, so LEGO does not sacrifice either theoretical playability or the obvious display potential of this castle. .

The homage to the product and to the reference universe is less obvious here than with the content of the set 10497 Galaxy Explorer : A castle can be assembled well, but it does not look like the somewhat crude constructions experienced by those who played with these products in the 80s. The references are elsewhere, on the walls and on the torso of the minifigs and LEGO finally pays homage to all of his work rather than to a specific reference. Fans wanted a castle, they got one and in my opinion it more than lives up to what you'd expect from a premium toymaker in 2022.

I won't give you the verse on the different stages of assembly and on the techniques used, keep the pleasure of discovery for the moment when you open the big box and you will begin to understand that you do not have to regret have spent 400 €. Just know that LEGO misses no detail, including accessibility to the different spaces of this castle.

There is always a staircase or a ladder in the corner to move around inside the premises and this detail reinforces the impression that the manufacturer has taken care to think out his product down to the smallest detail. No stickers, everything is stamped and there is only plastic except for the two banners that float on top of the walls and the queen's cape. These three pieces of fabric are unfortunately only printed on one side.

10305 lego icons lion knight castle 10

Some features are there and we are not content to "open a door" or "tilt" a piece of wall. The drawbridge is functional as is the portcullis placed just behind. The two mechanisms that put these elements in motion are very well integrated into the construction, I leave you the pleasure of discovering the tricks that will allow you to afford a few minutes of nostalgic pleasure.

The water wheel is also mobile and it even sets in motion the millstone placed on the other side of the wall. The functionality may seem trivial and it will probably never be used again after a few minutes, but it embodies our playful "activities" as children, such as when we spent time filling up our little Majorette cars with a dummy gas pump. .

The manufacturer allows this product to be assembled with four hands with two separate instruction booklets to build the two modules which will then have to be joined together via a few clips to obtain the complete enclosure. The assembly phase is rather entertaining, even if we could expect the worst when discovering the imposing gray walls made up of stacked bricks.

However, like a Structure, we alternate here regularly between simplistic stacks and the construction of furniture or more detailed accessories and we do not regret the long hours devoted to this big whiff of nostalgia. The layout of the different rooms is sufficiently substantial to identify their function even if, to my taste, it lacks a bit of smooth tiling or carpet in places, the visible studs really contrasting with the smooth walls.

As I said above, the complete model is both a luxury playset more than 70 cm long when deployed and a high-end exhibition product with a footprint of 45 x 33 cm and very accomplished finish on all sides when the castle is closed. The usual principle "We don't see it anymore but we know it's there"characteristic of Modulars will therefore apply here too even if it will be enough to open the castle to take advantage of the various rooms and other integrated hiding places that I leave it to you to discover without spoiler.

The hinges are rather discreet, the closing adjustments on each of the two modules and on the junction between the two are very correct and the possibility of opening the playset will not immediately jump out at those who discover the object in its configuration. of exposure.

10305 lego icons lion knight castle 24

A medieval castle without knights and other villagers is of little interest and LEGO also goes all out here with 22 minifigures. The pad prints are generally very successful and there is enough to fill the different levels of the castle as well as the surroundings of the rocky peak on which it is installed. Direct references to the different factions imagined by LEGO in the 80s are there with a slew of coats of arms all very well executed. Everyone will find their favorite faction there and the tribute seems rather exhaustive to me.

The nine Lion Knights are all equipped with the same torso and the same pair of legs, it is the accessories and the faces that will make the difference and only the queen benefits from two personalized elements. Same recipe for the three members of the Black Falcons with identical outfits and the three Forest Guardians who use the torso already seen in the promotional set 40567 Forest Hideout.

Those who grumble about the subtle tweaks to some of the various emblems will have short memories, LEGO has never been shy about tweaking and altering these illustrations over the years and sets in the range. Perhaps a few additional animals are missing to flesh out the bestiary a little, a real vegetable garden at the foot of the walls and enough to cover the blue surface with a few Tiles transparent.

Some of the minifigs recycle elements already seen elsewhere and others are a bit less detailed than the rest of the cast. We can see a "vintage" guarantee of the product with a tribute to the simplicity of figurines dating from the 80s and this is the case of the magician Majisto who looks like the minifig of "Merlin" that many fans have known, pad printing less torso. In my opinion, it was not really necessary to make tons of it anyway, I think that the simple fact of finally seeing your silhouette in a set will be enough to produce a great breath of nostalgia.

10305 lego icons lion knight castle 19

We could spend hours trying to find flaws or bad positioning in this big set, but that would be giving it a role it doesn't have. It's not a reissue of a specific product, it's not an educational product, it's just a high-end tribute for adults nostalgic for a universe that fascinated them during their childhood, which benefits of the essential modernization of techniques and takes advantage of the inventory of parts available since the 80s. Those who despaired of one day seeing their favorite medieval factions return to the LEGO catalog have finally been heard, that is the essential .

This debauchery of parts and figurines, however, places this product in a price range that will not put it within the reach of all budgets and that is a bit of a shame. Was it absolutely necessary to produce a castle of more than 4000 rooms to celebrate an anniversary to which the fans of the first hour who do not necessarily have 400 € to spend would have liked to be invited? there was probably a way to offer a more modest castle without sacrificing all the details and fittings, just to make it accessible to more people.

We also note that the two parts of the castle can be self-sufficient, proof that it was undoubtedly possible to offer something acceptable with an inventory reduced by half. Otherwise, it remains the Creator set 31120 Medieval Castle, less ambitious but closer to the products of the 80s in terms of finish and which is sold for 99.99 €.

40577 lego harry potter grand staircase gwp 6

Today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO Harry Potter set 40577 Hogwarts Grand Staircase, a box of 224 pieces which will be offered from July 15 to 31, 2022 subject to purchase at LEGO. You will have to pay at least €130 in products from the Harry Potter range to get this little product.

We know the song, it's Harry Potter, it's in the spirit of the promotional set 40452 Hogwarts Gryffindor Dorms  offered in October 2021 (from 100 € of purchase), it is compatible with other modules already marketed in the range and fans of this universe should easily find an excuse to spend the minimum amount required in order to be offered this small extension of one of their favorite playset.

The interpretation of Grand Staircase of Hogwarts delivered here is far from taking those who borrow it to the tenth floor but the representation is still correct with some portraits hung on the walls and the Fat Lady who guards the entrance to the Gryffindor tower is there on its plate to unclip flanked by a large sticker.

The assembly of the construction only takes a few minutes and you have to stick on the way a very large handful of stickers whose background color is not really in line with the support but the result is acceptable and for a promotional product I think that it is even rather successful. The staircase obviously pivots on its axis and four connection points are provided on the two walls in order to install the construction in the center of your various modules.

The only minifigure provided is that of Hermione Granger, here dressed in a skirt installed on a pair of legs in two colors and flanked by the torso available since 2021. The head and the hair are in a dozen sets of the range, nothing something new in this box.

No Chocolate Frog cards to collect or trade in this little set, the concept is over.

If you are a fan of the range, you will probably not want to miss this product which will therefore complete the playset with green roofs in its "20th anniversary" version, regularly expanded with new modules since 2021. It remains to be hoped that you have not taken advantage of the various previous promotional operations to buy the products that were missing from your collection, otherwise you will have to buy back one or more products that you may already have...

On arrival, there is no real debate to be had around this product: this promotional set is in any case exclusive to the official store and it will not be possible to buy it separately except through resellers. from the secondary market who are sure to charge you a high price for it.

10497 lego icons galaxy explorer 9Today we take a quick tour of one of the two sets that will celebrate the 1th anniversary of the LEGO brand from August 90st by revisiting great classics: the reference 10497 Galaxy Explorer with its 1254 pieces, its four astronauts and its retail price set at €99.99.

You probably already know that the content of this box is an interpretation freely inspired by what the set offered in 1979 928/497 Galaxy Explorer. Those who had the emblematic grey, blue and yellow spaceship in their hands in the 80s will necessarily be receptive to this new product, the others will probably only see it as a spaceship that is a little too vintage and much too flat. to encourage them to checkout.

It is obviously not a school reissue of the original product: the ship here is more detailed, larger and above all it benefits from the inventory of parts produced by LEGO since the 80s to allow itself some aesthetic fantasies. Those who played with the original ship will probably remember that it was then accompanied by a base plate with its craters and a lunar module. These elements go by the wayside here, only the little rover remains.

This product therefore appeals to the nostalgia of children who have become adults, everything has been thought out to bring them back a few decades without offering them an experience that is too "vintage" which could prove disappointing compared to other products that is currently putting LEGO on the shelves. One could even consider that this new version embodies the somewhat idealized version that the children of the time could have kept in their memories. The level of detail of the 1979 product was very satisfactory for the time, that of 2022 complies with current standards.

10497 lego icons galaxy explorer 16

10497 lego icons galaxy explorer 7

Predictably, the ship's internal structure involves a large handful of beams and pine Technic which allow the fuselage to be spread out 52 cm long by 32 cm wide without the risk of breaking everything at the slightest manipulation. We can imagine that those who will pay for this product will want to at least play with it a little before putting it on a shelf, so the whole thing had to be strong and rigid enough to allow these essential few minutes of nostalgia.

The central part of the cabin makes use of some interesting techniques, you won't get bored even if the final result, which is relatively banal, may suggest the opposite. The designer has done his homework: the ship's innards are colored but this product only uses tints that were available in 1979, with the exception of the Medium Stone Gray. The leading edge of the wings is nicely executed, it brings an excellent level of finish to the whole and somewhat compensates for the relative visual simplicity of the central part of the ship. This ship also has three retractable landing gears, a nice improvement that corrects the "flaw" of the reference model.

There are also two examples of the new yellow canopy and the designer has added an airlock with a movable door to the rear of the cockpit. The little rover is stored in the hold, it descends by sliding on a black plate which is usually used as a support for the presentation stickers of the "collectors" products.

No stickers in this box and it was the least of things for a product to the glory of the manufacturer and one of its historical ranges. Everything is stamped with a large handful of very vintage elements that will undoubtedly bring back memories to some.

In the radius of the slightly annoying details: the two canopies are not protected and they therefore do not escape a few scratches while walking in the bags in the middle of other rooms. It's a shame, LEGO could have made the effort for this occasion to wrap them in the plastic seen on the windshield of the DeLorean of the set 10300 Back to the Future Time Machine and canopy from the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series set 75341 Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder.

LEGO also promises to be able to assemble two other smaller vessels freely inspired by those of the sets 924 Space Transporter et 918 Space Transport using the inventory provided. However, it will be necessary to wait for the availability of the corresponding instruction booklets in digital format to possibly engage in the exercise. The most nostalgic will perhaps make the effort to invest in three boxes to bring together the fleet of ships of their childhood instead of dismantling one to assemble the other, which no one will do. LEGO never misses an opportunity to push the expense but does not deign to provide pad-printed bricks matching the two other models, with the mentions LL 924 and LL 918.

10497 lego icons galaxy explorer 10

10497 lego icons galaxy explorer 11

One could also consider that the subject is treated here almost too seriously. We remember the more crazy interpretation of the ships of the Classic Space range in the set The LEGO Movie 70816 Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP!, the tribute was there but with a big dose of fantasy that had aroused the interest of fans. Here, it's more serious, you have to seduce those who have had the original products in their hands right down to the design of the packaging, which frankly draws on all the visual codes of the time.

As for the minifigs delivered in this box, LEGO is content to re-invite the original cast with four astronauts, two red and two white, with torsos flanked by the Classic Space logo. Those who collect these astronauts in every colorway out there and never invested in a widely available red version in the 80s or the Toys R Us exclusive pack offered in 2012 will therefore have two copies on hand. The white version was easily accessible in 2019 via the small set The LEGO Movie 2 70841 Benny's Space Squad (9.99 €). LEGO misses here the opportunity to provide us with some alternative colors but it was probably necessary to stick to the reference product without going too far. We still get a air tank black stowed in one of the ship's side containers. Should we see a sign there? Nothing is less sure.

If you intend to buy this box as soon as it goes on sale on August 1st, don't spoil yourself too much about the different assembly phases. Keep the pleasure of discovering the product and its refinements, after all you will spend a hundred euros to have the right to savor this throwback imbued with a bit of modernity.

This set is the cheaper of the two planned for this summer, the other being the reference 10305 Lion Knight's Castle which will be sold at the public price of 399.99 € and which we will talk about later. Everyone is therefore not invited to the anniversary of the LEGO group, the budget necessary to participate in the party is frankly substantial. This box being the less expensive of the two, it's up to you to see if the universe it explores and to which it pays homage brings you back to your youth. If so, you're in luck, you'll get away with it for a lot less than those who played with knights and Foresters. Me, it was the cavalry and the Indians, but with Fort Randall Playmobil.

75338 lego starwars ambush ferrix 5

Today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO Star Wars set 75338 Ambush on Ferrix, a derivative of the series Star Wars: Andor currently in pre-order on the official online store and which will be available from August 1, 2022 at the public price of 79.99 €. There is probably not enough to make an endless dissertation about this small box of 679 pieces including three minifigs but I am impatient to discover this new series and I was rather happy to be able to assemble its contents by watching on a loop the very successful trailer available online.

No mystery in this set, all the elements present are in the trailer: The Imperial Tac-Pod makes an appearance there in three copies, Diego Luna is very discreet but we know that he takes over the role of the character by Cassian Andor as seen in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, we know that Stellan Skarsgård embodies Luthen Rael and Syril Karn is one of the inspectors in uniform who arrive from Coruscant. The speeder bike is a speeder bike like there are buckets on all the planets of the Star Wars universe and it will therefore simply be necessary to verify that the promised ambush takes place.

The Tac-Pod in LEGO version seems very correct to me if we take into account the reduced inventory of the product and its positioning as a toy for children. Its assembly even reserves some interesting techniques for managing the angles of the cabin, it has movable side panels, a rear hatch, a widely accessible cockpit and a turret with two Stud Shooters very well integrated.

The ship's finish is satisfactory with some surface texture and acceptable adjustments to the sub-assemblies that make up the cabin. A few stickers come as reinforcements and everything is easily handled without breaking everything. The cockpit canopy is a nicely pad-printed car windscreen, it's successful and it works perfectly in this context. Beware of scratches, no specific protection on this element. Some will see it on arrival as a compressed Razor Crest, others will find it looks like a miniature LAAT, it's Star Wars.

The speeder bike and yet another variation on the subject, it's not the worst at LEGO and the level of detail here is also satisfactory with in particular a whip which embodies a few wires circulating on one of the two side rails placed at the front . The LEGO version is not as "confusing" mechanically as the one that will be visible on the screen, but the designer is doing quite well given the scale imposed. The content of the set is also rather balanced with the possibility of having fun from the unpacking without necessarily having to go back to the checkout.

75338 lego starwars ambush ferrix 6

75338 lego starwars ambush ferrix 8

We will also note the presence of many elements with off-topic colors in the bowels of the Tac-Pod, the designer will undoubtedly have wanted to bring a little color to the inventory. It is often considered that the presence of elements with distinct colors serves as a benchmark when assembling models whose dominant color does not facilitate the task of the youngest, but this gray Tac-Pod does not present a real challenge.

In terms of technical defects, it's the usual catchphrase with parts that are not all the same gray and stickers whose gray background is not matched with the color of the parts on which they must be stuck. Nothing new under the sun, LEGO doesn't seem very concerned about these details and customers obviously seem to be fine with it.

Three minifigs are delivered in this box and for the moment we can only refer to the trailer of the series and the few photos available to judge their relevance. The minifig of Diego Luna (Cassian Andor) seems very correct to me, except for the hair which seems a little too long to me. The pad printing of the outfit is successful, we can clearly distinguish the different layers of clothing under the coat and the alignments between the torso and the legs are almost perfect. Same observation for the figurine of Stellan Skarsgård (Luthen Rael) whose hairstyle seems to me here also a little approximate.

LEGO chose a too dark blue for Syril Karn's outfit, it's more pastel on the screen. All the important details are there with the rank under the chin, the off-center buckles and the transmitter placed on the right shoulder. It will be necessary to check if the visor of the cap should be orange and I think LEGO should have provided additional hair for the character.

You will tell me that there is nothing to marvel at here, especially for 80 €, but I remain very curious to see if Andor is a series that finally puts die-hard fan-service on the backburner to develop both the characters and the political context of the era in question.

I want to believe it, answer from next August 31 with the start of the broadcast of the series on the Disney + platform, and I hope that other characters will soon pass to posterity in minifig starting with a version of the senator Mon Mothma embodied here by Genevieve O'Reilly who resumes her role from thePart III et Rogue One. This set brings in my opinion a bit of freshness in a range that is often content with reissues and other reinterpretations, we are not going to complain that the usual spinning is for once a little set aside.
