Review : LEGO Marvel Spider-Man 76130 Stark Jet and the Drone Attack

We finish this overview of LEGO Marvel sets inspired by the movie Spider-Man: Far from Home with the reference 76130 Stark Jet and the Drone Attack (504 pieces - 69.99 €) which stages as its name indicates the jet of the company Stark Industries which is undergoing a drone attack here.

With a plane and two drones, there is plenty of fun and that is the objective of this box intended for the youngest fans. The buildable jet is not a feat of creativity, just stack a few pieces and stick a few stickers on for a relatively solid and playable craft.

As usual, I recommend that you check the condition of the transparent parts when unpacking. The canopy provided here is prone to scratches as it walks around in its bag along with other parts. I know the trend is towards reducing plastic waste, but since at LEGO we are no longer within a few grams between the parts and the bags, I dream of an under-packaging that would properly protect these transparent parts.

Once is not customary, the cockpit of the plane is accessible to big fingers with a large mobile section that allows three characters to easily slide inside. The finish of the wings leaves a little to be desired, but we will do with it.

At the back, there is a large compartment, also easily accessible, which allows you to embark the three bombs provided. These will be dropped on drones or whatever you want to destroy.

As for the ship in the set 76126 Avengers Ultimate Quinjet, LEGO once again forgot to integrate landing gears on this jet which would have really looked a little better with a few wheels.

Under the plane, there is the hatch that allows you to bombard your target and incidentally to allow Spider-Man to swing at the end of his web. This hatch is opened by simply pressing the gray button on the back of the aircraft.

It is well done and correctly integrated so as not to disfigure the construction while providing a little playability, but in use, we quickly realize that it becomes impossible to open the hatch if the hand of the flying the craft is placed just below. This may be a detail for some of you, but it is a defect noticed by my son after only a few seconds of handling ...

The two drones delivered in this box are rather well designed and are equipped with Stud Shooters which fall perfectly under the user's fingers. The plane is also equipped with two cannons, so that the forces present are equal when it comes to looking for the small projectiles ejected on the floor of the chamber.

At the risk of sounding like I'm repeating myself, the difference in color between the stickers printed on a (really) white background and the parts whose color turns off-white is a bit disturbing. The patterns printed on the different stickers do not blend into their backing and I would have preferred transparent stickers. The same goes for the color of the canopy, which is not really coordinated with the rest of the cabin parts.

On the minifig side, it's a bit disappointing even if Nick Fury's minifig saves the day. It is new and for the moment exclusive to this box, even if it reuses the legs of General Hux and Severus Snape.

Harold "Happy" Hogan is failed and disappointing. The minifig does not look at all like Jon Favreau with the head of Kazuda Xiono, the young hero of the animated series Star Wars Resistance recently seen in the LEGO Star Wars set 75240 Major Vonreg's TIE Fighter.

The torso of this minifig can be considered generic, it is the one already used for the minifigs of Alfred Pennyworth (76052), Eli Mills (75930) and still for a henchman in a set from the LEGO Overwatch range (75971 ).

Spider-Man minifig is identical to the version delivered in sets based on the film Homecoming, 76083 Beware the Vulture (2017) et 76083 ATM Heist Battle (2017) and in the pack 40343 Spider-Man and the Museum Break-In.

Mysterio's minifigure is identical to the one already seen in the other two sets based on the film, and it still does not come with Jake Gyllenhaal's face.

In short, for the youngest, there is plenty of fun with the jet and the two drones, but collectors who relied on this box to obtain a Jon Favreau minifig will be at their cost with the generic minifigure offered by LEGO. There is still a nice version of Nick Fury who in my opinion does not deserve to spend 70 € in this box.

Note: The set shown here, supplied by LEGO, is included as usual. To participate in the draw, all you have to do is post a comment (avoid "I participate, I try, etc ..." be a little more constructive) on this article before the June 30, 2019 at 23:59 p.m.. You have every right to disagree with me, this is not eliminatory.
