Review: The LEGO Movie 2 70841 Benny's Space Squad

Today we talk briefly about The LEGO Movie 2 set 70841 Benny's Space Squad (68 pieces - 9.99 €), a small box which does not really deserve to be made a lot about it. Either its contents mean something to you, or you just find these four colorful astronauts and their pretty cool mini-vehicles.

The good news here is that LEGO makes fan service very accessible. No fuss, those nostalgic for Space Classic get here four colorful astronauts who will remind them of memories, a piece with the logo of this cult range pad printed and enough to assemble two machines that justify the name "construction toy".

Lenny (in pink), Kenny (in yellow) and Jenny (in white) accompany Benny in this set. The latter is the only one to be equipped with the usual split helmet and the slightly faded logo on the chest. The other three members of the fine team are dressed impeccably.

The helmet worn by the three characters who accompany Benny is thicker and more resistant than the old versions which had a tendency to split at the chin as on the copy worn by Benny. Nothing prevents you from putting a chisel in it if you absolutely want to ...

For those who have not yet bought this set, I would like to point out that it is not me who invented the names and the associated color, everything is clearly indicated on the back of the box ...

I see from here coming all those who will regret not having the right to a few more astronauts in this set, or a character in a red outfit instead of a pink one, etc ... It's like that. We are also not immune that the team is made up of other colorful astronauts who will perhaps be available in a future set. Who knows.

For the youngest, there is not much fun for hours with this box and it will be necessary to wait to know where, when and how the team of astronauts intervene in the film to associate this set with the one of the many other boxes already available or to come.

For collectors, it's risk-free. They will be able to wipe away a small tear in front of these colorful astronauts who will remind them of good memories. And they can then spend long hours comparing these new minifigs with the previous versions that are lying around their drawers. For 9.99 €, it's an unbeatable price / nostalgia ratio.

I say yes, of course, especially because for once LEGO is doing a good big fan service that tries without plunging its hand too deep into the pockets of nostalgic fans.
