Today we're taking a quick look at the contents of the LEGO Wednesday set. 76784 Black Dahlia Flower, a small box of 358 pieces which will be available on the official online store from August 1, 2025 at the public price of €24,99.

Let's not lie to ourselves, there's not really anything at stake surrounding this little spin-off of the Netflix series. Wednesday whose second season will be available from August 6th: the public price of the product puts it within reach of almost all budgets and if you are a fan of the franchise this box will join your collection without much hesitation.

We can salute the aesthetic choice of this construction which features both a Dahlia in its vase and a greenhouse within which we find some fittings.

The combination of the two is ingenious and very well executed, resulting in a lovely decorative product that will blend easily into a line of plastic flowers from the BOTANICALS collection and the possibility of having a little fun with the few pieces of furniture and other accessories installed in the greenhouse. The furniture installed in the greenhouse will not revolutionize the genre, but it is very good for filling the space and giving a little substance to the proposed diorama.

The flower seems successful to me, it is largely at the level of what we currently obtain in the numerous boxes marketed by LEGO on the subject with a sufficient level of detail to make it the main subject of this new box.

The vase becomes almost secondary, and this is in the logical order of things for a set whose title refers to the dahlia. As usual, we regret the intensive use of stickers to dress the dahlia leaves; it's a shame for a product that is destined to end its career gathering dust.

The whole thing is obviously very quickly assembled, the construction process being slowed only by the application of stickers. The object comes with two mini-dolls representing Wednesday Addams and Marilyn Thornhill.

I find Jenna Ortega in her mini-doll version with a very well interpreted face, it is a little less obvious for Christina Ricci, the young Wednesday emblematic of the film released in 1991, here in the costume of Professor Thornhill. I remain also as doubtful in front of this somewhat cheap figurine format which seems to come straight out of a Kinder egg, but it is very personal.

Upon arrival, this derivative product, which could go a little unnoticed due to its price positioning, deserves, in my opinion, special attention. It offers a very accomplished flower accompanied here by a very pretty vase which is not content with being a simple container.

That's already a lot for €25, and fans of the series will also get two Wednesday figurines, the current one played by Jenna Ortega and the one by Christina Ricci, who for many of us will remain the best incarnation of the character.

Today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO Star Wars set 75430 Wicket the Ewok, a box of 1010 pieces currently on pre-order on the official online store at the retail price of €119,99 and which will be available from August 1, 2025.

We know from the LEGO Star Wars set 75371 Chewbacca (2319 pieces - €209,99), released in 2023 and since withdrawn from shelves, that LEGO has a little trouble with the plastic representation of fur and it is not this new box that will make me change my mind.

This is therefore a question of assembling here one of the bears seen in the third part of the Original Trilogy (Return of the Jedi) and more specifically Wicket, who stood out for his vagabond look and his disturbing gaze. In this area, LEGO has done its homework; the look of the plastic version of the bear is at least as disturbing as on screen.

For the rest, the construction is a sort of very large BrickHeadz figurine with an internal structure on which we often stick a few sub-assemblies with a not very inspired relief and that's it. If you spend the 120 € asked by LEGO for this product, at least keep the pleasure of discovering the different techniques used for Wicket's face, that's about all that's really interesting and entertaining here.

The legs seem to me to be a failure, we don't find here the bushy side of the bear's paws and the rendering makes me think more here of the paws of a bird perched on a branch than that of a very soft costume in which an actor is sweating profusely.

I understand that it is not always possible to offer an exemplary level of finish using plastic bricks, but I think that there are cases where it would be better to abstain or at least to manufacture the parts that would improve the rendering. I know that there will always be fans who find the thing acceptable, and tastes and colors are not discussed, but we cannot say without being in bad faith that this proposal is a total success.

No joints, nothing moves or turns, and even the two arms are fixed. We can always try to replace them in an alternative position, but several parts come up against the Ewok's body, and it will take a bit of tinkering. And what about the "cap" effect of the hood in the LEGO version? It's still very figurative, not to be mean.

One positive: I like the texture of the clothing on the front with a large smooth area that contrasts well with the fur while still having visible studs on the rest of the figure. The ears are visually messy, the hands and feet are a bit ridiculous with their too-light fingers and the whole lower part of the face is really too gross to convince me to spend €120 on this figure. In hindsight, it almost looks like an old owl with no fixed abode and Fentanyl.

More seriously, the 23 cm tall figurine will probably look like an illusion if observed from a certain distance, a little less so if approached with a coat that is a little too coarse to merit the presence of a presentation plate in the usual format, making the thing vaguely "collector's". This plate is also really anecdotal, it is half empty and gives uninteresting information about the character.

LEGO also provides a nice new minifigure of the character to confirm what we're talking about here, just in case there was any doubt. However, it's difficult to really make a connection between the two versions of Wicket.

As you will have understood, it will be without me at 120 € per thing, I will perhaps reconsider my position if the price drops one day frankly elsewhere than at LEGO. As it stands, I salute the attempt and the risk-taking but not the result. This product could have convinced me in 1990/2000 but we are in 2025 and the level of finish expected today is significantly higher than at the time when LEGO was still making cubic ships and Minecraft-style dioramas.

Today we take a quick look at the contents of the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series set. 75417 AT-ST Walker, a box of 1513 pieces currently available for pre-order on the official LEGO online store and on Amazon at a retail price of €199,99 and which will be available from August 1, 2025.

This box finally takes over from the reference this year 10174 Imperial AT-ST marketed between 2006 and 2008, it was time for LEGO to take a new interest in the subject by taking advantage of the availability of new elements that have since entered the LEGO inventory as well as the techniques imagined by the designers currently present in the manufacturer's creative pool. The 2006 version was not without merit, however, it was in line with the codes of the time and it already made the most of the arsenal of pieces available almost 20 years ago.

This new interpretation of the machine logically inherits some technical and aesthetic choices already present in the first attempt to offer a version Ultimate Collector Series of the biped, it faces the same problems of global stability which must be ensured at the cost of some compromises.

The model delivered in the 14 bags of this box is quickly assembled and we are almost left wanting more when we open the last bag, thinking about other stamped products Ultimate Collector Series which, for their part, offer a long-term assembly experience. The subject matter creates the inventory, the AT-ST remains a modest-sized machine and its interpretation in LEGO bricks does not call for an extraordinary inventory.

The fact remains that we will inevitably find pleasure in seeing the machine take shape and that certain sub-assemblies bring their dose of satisfaction, such as the interior layout of the cabin, a space that was empty on the 2006 version, or the progressive installation of the different panels that give its final shape to the cabin.

The rest is based on elements from the Technic ecosystem for the two legs and plates various and varied for the bodywork of the cabin. We will note the presence of some rubber pads under the legs for the anti-slip side, the integration of some elements which bring a discreet touch of "rust" on the structure of the machine and a finish generally in the air of time with a fairly balanced alternation between surface tenons and smooth areas.

The roof hatch is correctly sized here, the handrail is present, the armament is nicely executed and even if the whole thing is a little clumsy the level of detail is in my opinion largely up to what one would expect from a product bearing the mention Ultimate Collector SeriesWe will also appreciate the presence of the blades placed at the front of the legs as well as the finish of the rear of the cabin which here becomes aesthetically more consistent with the version seen on the screen.

Although it is not as graceful as the reference model seen on screen, the model is perfectly stable on its supports, we feel that this was an absolute concern for LEGO and it is confirmed from the first pages of the instruction booklet almost as an excuse to justify the errors of the design.

So we could spend hours in vain trying to demonstrate that this AT-ST is not correctly proportioned, that the angles of the cabin are a little exaggerated, that its legs are too thick, that its feet are too big and that the whole thing is ultimately not so faithful to the reference model for a model intended for collectors.

And in any case, we can only come to the conclusion that the aesthetic and technical compromises at work here are ultimately only at the service of the stability of this 37 cm high construction, which is not a problem in itself but which may disappoint some fans who were hoping to obtain the ultimate model correctly proportioned and 100% faithful to the reference machine.

The legs are not articulated, so it is impossible to present this AT-ST in a more dynamic position with a movement effect that would perhaps have allowed it to bring a little visual lightness. You will have to be content with the planned pose by orienting the cabin according to the direction of display.

Incidentally, it's worth noting that the blue elastic that held the cabin's side panels in place in the 2006 version has been replaced with rubber inserts. This is good news, even if the alignments between the cabin's various panels are still a bit rough.

The machine is obviously not on a minifig scale and even less on the scale of the AT-AT from the set 75313 UCS AT-AT, LEGO simply chooses the most suitable scale for each of its models without worrying too much about the cohesion between the different proposals.

The sticker supply is limited here, there are only five stickers to stick on this model and we will especially remember those used for the cockpit seats with "fake" black ingots which attempt to ensure visual continuity with the parts present on the back of the two seats.

The vehicle comes with a single figure while it accommodates two pilots. We get a rather convincing-looking pilot with elements already seen in the set 75394 Imperial Star Destroyer, a pair of pad-printed arms and a helmet with a goggle pattern that is a little less distorted than previous versions. All that's missing is the black boots for the figurine installed on the stand flanked by the traditional presentation plate to be perfect.

Sold for €200, this exhibition model is a product that can be considered affordable in a range Ultimate Collector Series which often tends to overdo it and promises us some more overpriced boxes in the future. This set is therefore a relatively accessible entry point into this universe for passionate collectors with a nice creation that is detailed enough to sit on a shelf.

This box is not exclusive to the official online store; it will be available elsewhere than at LEGO from August 1, 2025, and it will therefore quickly be possible to pay less than its retail price.

Today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO DC set 76304 Batman Forever Batmobile, a box of 909 pieces which is currently available for pre-order at the public price of €99,99 on the official online store as well as on Amazon and which will be available from August 1, 2025.

The vehicle in question here is undoubtedly a little less well-known than the version in Tim Burton's film or that of The Dark Knight trilogy, but it is a Batmobile seen on screen in the film Batman Forever released in theaters in 1995 with a choice cast: the late Val Kilmer who succeeded Michael Keaton in the title role, Jim Carrey in the role of the Riddler, Tommy Lee Jones in the Harvey Dent costume and Nicole Kidman and Chris O'Donnel.

This Batmobile no longer has the usual look of the one seen in the first two parts of the saga (Batman, Batman Returns) and which was immortalized in 2019 by LEGO in the set 76139 1989 Batmobile and the vehicle's decidedly futuristic look may leave some fans doubtful. The challenge was indeed significant for LEGO, with numerous details to reproduce and a very original appearance with numerous curves.

I think we can generally consider that LEGO is doing quite well on this issue, we immediately recognize the Batmobile from the 1995 film, the main attributes of the vehicle are present and correctly interpreted and the proportions of the whole are more or less respected with the arrival of a model of 41 cm long by 12 cm wide and 17 cm high. For those who are wondering, this Batmobile is obviously not on a minifig scale.

As is often the case, everything starts with a chassis made from elements from the LEGO Technic ecosystem, onto which the various body sections are then attached. LEGO has made things considerably easier for the nose of this Batmobile by offering a pad-printed element that struggles to connect with the rest of the bodywork; it loses visual continuity with the patterns on the front hood, and the whole thing looks a bit messy as it is.

On the rim side, the central logo doesn't rotate in the film; only the outer gray section rotates when the vehicle moves. It's impossible to reproduce this effect here with LEGO's choice of parts, but the pad printing of the four rims is successful.

At the rear, the gray reactor is well executed but it's a bit dull, lacking the metallic effect seen on screen. LEGO lighting manufacturers should quickly get on board and offer a kit to highlight the blue undercoat of the structure to achieve an effect identical to that seen in the film.

Some might find the three fins placed at the rear a bit too chunky, but I prefer a fully brick-based solution to a few lazy meta-parts, especially on a display product like this.

No steering or other steerable wheels like in the movie, it's a bare minimum in terms of integrated features. Even the cockpit canopy isn't attached to the structure; it's a separate unit that can be simply removed to admire the vehicle's interior.

So, what we end up with is a pure exhibition model, and LEGO has done us a favor by avoiding stickers on the exterior of this Batmobile. The only two required stickers are in the cockpit, and everything else is pad-printed.

Once again, we noticed that many of the black parts were a little scratched upon unpacking, which is a shame for a display product that gets heavy use. The windshield, for its part, was delivered in a separate paper bag, so it arrived in perfect condition, which is appreciated.

This 900-piece Batmobile is quickly assembled, with some logically somewhat repetitive sequences and a few slightly fragile areas, with some subassemblies only holding in place on one or two studs. This is particularly the case for the side sections, which are spaced and placed diagonally.

It's almost surprising that LEGO doesn't provide a small presentation plate here, as is increasingly common with exhibition products, even if these aren't models with several thousand pieces. The LEGO DC set 76274 Batman with the Batmobile vs. Harley Quinn and Mr. Freeze (435 pieces - €59,99) benefits for example from a small plate fixed to the vehicle support.

Here we have to be content with a simple support which allows the owner of the vehicle to be exposed with a small Tile pad-printed that specifies the context of the product. It's a bit basic, there was probably room for improvement.

The Batman figure included in this box allows us to obtain the version from the 1995 film with Val Kilmer in the costume of the Gotham City vigilante. This is the Sonar Batsuit, a secondary outfit used by Batman following the destruction of the Batcave by the Riddler (the Riddler) and the pad printing seems to me rather faithful to the outfit seen on screen.

Too bad for the lack of details on the arms and legs of the figurine, the outfit seems a little incomplete here as it is. On the other hand, we get a rigid cape and this is once again very good news with a sexier result than with the usual pieces of cloth. On the other hand, we have to deal with the usual injection point still as unsightly as ever at the back of the character's mask.

The subject matter was complex, the result isn't perfect, but this Batmobile deserved to join our collections, which include too many Tumblers and more classic Batmobiles. This vehicle remains iconic for a whole generation, and even if the Batman Forever movie isn't at the top of the list for many fans, I'm personally very happy to see LEGO offering us a version of it.

As is often the case, we will wait until this box is available elsewhere for a little less than at LEGO or we will at least take advantage of an interesting promotional operation on the official online store to justify paying for this set at its public price.

Today we take a quick tour of the content of the LEGO Star Wars set 75434K-2SO, a box of 845 pieces currently on pre-order on the official online store at the retail price of €89,99 and which will be available from August 1, 2025.

As you probably already know, this involves assembling a model of the security droid featured in the second season of the series. Star Wars: Andor as well as in the film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. I really liked the movie Rogue One, I enjoyed the series even more Star Wars: Andor and we can't say that the latter has been treated as it should be at LEGO with only three derivative products for two seasons: the sets 75338 Ambush on Ferrix, 75399 Rebel U-Wing Starfighter and this new feature from August 2025.

K-2SO seemed on paper to be the ideal subject for an adaptation to LEGO format and this interpretation of around forty centimeters high seems to me to live up to what one could expect.

The model certainly remains between two waters in terms of finishing, but with such a limited inventory which allows the price of the thing to be contained, one cannot decently be as demanding as in the case of a proposal of several thousand pieces sold for several hundred euros.

The droid's upper body is particularly well done, while the legs are more basic, with a lot of visible studs as a bonus. The gray discs placed at the knees are a little too noticeable for my taste, but we'll make do.

The same goes for the gray pieces placed under the upper arms; there was undoubtedly room to propose a more discreet and uniform solution, but this model is ultimately only an interpretation and the droid still looks great with correct proportions and an immediately recognizable silhouette and the presence of the most significant attributes of its anatomy.

Special mention for the head of K-2SO, however a little too small compared to the reference model, which here is composed of only a few parts with a solution based on pine whites interesting for the eyes.

The droid is installed on a neatly executed base which allows its legs to be correctly positioned and which ensures optimal stability for this thin and slender model whose weight is mainly located in the upper area.

As usual, don't spoil too much for yourself the different construction techniques used to achieve the final result; you're paying for the pleasure of discovering the solutions used to obtain this pretty, quickly assembled model that will then end its career on one of your shelves. We note in passing that LEGO insists on its stickers, and this product does not escape a few stickers that take place on the droid's chest and shoulders.

At a time when many competitors are offering fully pad-printed products, it is time for LEGO to abandon this purely technical compromise, which only benefits itself and brings nothing to the brand's customers, with the risk of seeing these stickers damaged and peeling off over time due to light, heat and dust. This purely exhibition product with limited functionality deserved better on this point.

As you will have understood, the droid has fixed legs and can only move its arms and head. This is enough to be able to display it with a more or less dynamic pose and direct its gaze where you want. It comes with a separate support that allows you to display the presentation plate which, as usual, displays some facts as well as the figurine identical to the one delivered since May 2025 in the set 75399 Rebel U-Wing Starfighter (594 pieces - 69,99 €).

I still think that the graphic design of these small plates has had its day and that it would be time to evolve it into something more modern, knowing that LEGO has generalized the presence of this element initially reserved for products in the range Ultimate Collector Series to a whole series of derivative products that could probably have done without it.

Regarding the scale of the droid, don't expect anything consistent: It measures 41 cm tall and if we consider that the droid of the set 75398 C-3PO which is 38 cm tall and is human-sized, this version of K-2SO is then a little too small compared to the 2m16 of the droid seen on screen.

It is obvious that K-2SO is not a droid of the caliber of C-3PO or R2-D2 in the Star Wars universe and many fans will inevitably consider this product dispensable and at the very least less attractive than the sets based on the flagship trilogies.

But if you enjoyed the series Star Wars: Andor and trailer Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, you know that this droid fully deserves its place in the LEGO universe. The manufacturer had already timidly paid tribute to it in 2016 with the set 75120K-2SO (169 pieces - €24,99) and this new interpretation which treats the subject a little more seriously seems to me to be both sufficiently detailed and relatively accessible to consider that the character is finally entitled to a convincing treatment.

As for me, I'm not objective and I'm happy to see something other than the usual reissues coming to the LEGO Star Wars range. So I'm more lenient about the few flaws and other notable approximations here and I know that it will soon be possible to get this pretty model for a little less elsewhere than on the official online store.

This is the LEGO Insiders reward of the moment: the LEGO IDEAS set 40789 Flying Moon Car is currently available in exchange for 2500 of your precious points, or approximately €17 in exchange value.

This small box of 211 pieces allows you to assemble a flying vehicle to place on its stand and proudly display on one of your shelves. Nothing crazy, but it is very cleanly executed with a nice finish and a very dynamic staging. The vehicle will eventually find its place in a futuristic diorama with an atmosphere Fifth Element ou Blade Runner and why not in a staging on Coruscant.

Unsurprisingly, it's very quickly assembled, but the set still allows itself the luxury of highlighting some interesting techniques, particularly at the level of the base with its removable lunar floor. The vehicle makes good use of some diverted parts with, for example, windows for the grille or cupcakes for the reactors, I'm not always a fan of diverted parts but here it's acceptable and appropriate.

Two minifigures accompany the vehicle with their pretty torsos flanked by the Classic Space logo. For those who never look anywhere other than their favorite ranges, know that these two torsos are far from being new, they are common elements in the space variation of the LEGO CITY range. The two characters can take place in the vehicle inside which we find some pad-printed elements also common in the CITY and Friends ranges. No stickers in this box.

In short, there are plenty of good reasons to sacrifice 2500 Insider points to get this unpretentious little product inspired by the creation entitled Vehicle: Moon Car submitted in its time by EnchantingNoodle as part of the competition Exploring the Cosmos Organized in 2024 on the LEGO IDEAS platform, it offers some interesting possibilities for integration into a more global diorama.

Today we take a quick look at the contents of the LEGO Minecraft set 21276 The Creeper, a box of 665 pieces available since June 1, 2025 at the public price of €39,99 at LEGO and also currently on sale elsewhere for a little less.

This product is not worth spending hours on, but it does have some selling points, and if you've missed this little box so far, I think there's something here to please a Minecraft fan who doesn't want to be burdened with the countless playsets already marketed by LEGO.

This Creeper, just over 21 cm tall, is obviously a pure display product that is intended to end its career on a desk or shelf. It is very quickly assembled, the alignment of the many small Tiles which make up the surface of the creature can quickly become an annoying ordeal and the stability of the thing is quite relative, you will have to look for the point of balance of the construction if you wish to stage the legs in a somewhat dynamic position.

More interestingly, the head hides a surprise that isn't one, since it's present on the box as well as on the product sheet: you can store a block of TNT there as well as a rather strange pig that is in fact a reference to the origins of the Creeper. Legend has it that the creator of Minecraft, Notch, was trying to model a pig but he got confused and the thing ended up in the state presented here. This failed creature then became the Creeper as we know it.

This nod should please the most involved fans and the possibility of storing the Creeper-pig and the block of TNT in the head of the figurine is an interesting solution to avoid losing all these beautiful people.

It should also be noted that LEGO is currently pulling out all the stops when it comes to offering variations lifestyle many licenses and the Minecraft universe is no exception to this trend with a pure exhibition product that stands out from the many usual playsets.

The and 21265 The Crafting Table  (1195 pieces - €89,99) was already a foray into the realm of derivative products that do not offer any real playability, and it must be remembered that the Minecraft range at LEGO was launched in 2013 via a few products that also had nothing playable about them.

This Creeper seems quite convincing to me and able to please fans who want to decorate their setup or their room with a model that isn't too bulky but is imposing enough to get noticed. It's well executed, not too expensive and we therefore get here an accessible gift idea that also tells a story. It's hard to want more for €40, especially at LEGO.

This product is already available elsewhere than at LEGO for a little less, there's no reason to miss out if you have a fan in your circle to please.

Today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO set 43008 NIKE Dunk x LEGO, a box of 1180 pieces which will be available exclusively on the official online store from July 1, 2025 at the public price of €99,99.

As you already know, if you've been following along, this spin-off is the first product to come out of the LEGO and NIKE collaboration. We've already been promised two more items later this year, but it's this box that's set the tone for what the partnership between the two brands will look like from the Billund-based manufacturer's perspective. And I have to admit, I'm rather pleasantly surprised by the proposal made here.

Unlike what LEGO offered in its time during its collaboration with Adidas, we don't get just one shoe here that we don't really know what to do with. The LEGO ICONS set 10282 Adidas Originals Superstar (€89.99) seemed frankly disappointing to me, both in terms of design and the economical solution which allowed the assembly of a right or left foot.

Here, there's also only one shoe, but LEGO doesn't take the risk of making it a right or left foot and is content to offer a neutral version. Even better, the shoe is far from isolated on its support and is ultimately just a detail of the overall construction. The object also has a few features with two storage spaces and an additional "pair of laces" that will allow you to vary the atmospheres.

I'll point this out right away: everything you don't see on the sticker sheet I've included below is pad-printed. The shoe is well-designed, and even allows itself the luxury of entertaining us with some clever techniques to achieve a final result that I find very respectable, especially at this scale.

The POS-style support is also very well designed and even if it is very quickly assembled, we quickly get into the game of "drawing" the letters in LEGO style. Here it is simply a matter of stacking pieces but the designer has done his homework and the result also seems rather convincing to me with a beautiful relief effect and a successful graphic staging.

The basketball is a sphere with a rather complex design, don't expect a simple ball using only the so-called "Lowell" technique. The star-shaped interior section, based on elements from the Technic ecosystem, is designed to accommodate all the side panels, which are in turn designed to allow the black stripes to circulate across the entire surface of the ball. It's very well executed, unless you find that all these visible studs are a little out of place compared to the rest of the construction.

The back of the product doesn't have the same sophisticated finish as the front; it simply houses the mechanism used to spin the basketball while leaving the large panels used for the logo's background visible. The functionality is purely anecdotal, but at least it has the merit of existing.

Finally, LEGO includes a nice minifigure with high-end pad printing. The product could almost have done without it, but so much the better for minifig collectors who will have a nice offering on hand with its basketball-shaped head.

If you're a sneakerhead and NIKE is one of your favorites, this piece of merchandise is definitely for you. But don't overlook it if you're simply a LEGO fan; it offers a relaxing time during assembly, with three separate sections divided into three different instruction booklets.

All the elements of the set seem successful to me and even if some will find the staging a little disappointing, this product which launches hostilities regarding the collaboration between NIKE and LEGO deserves in my opinion a little attention.

This luxury POS (Point of Sale Advertising) that effectively mimics the displays regularly seen in sneaker stores will enhance the shelves of a fan of the brand, but it can also serve as simple decoration in a teenager's bedroom. This is the stated ambition of this product, nothing more, nothing less.
