Review: LEGO 70908 The Scuttler

May 2, 2017 By Jay 39 Comments

Following on from my review of 70909 Batcave Break-In, we continue chipping through the massive library of LEGO Batman Movie sets with my review of 70908 The Scuttler! If you’ve watched the LEGO Batman Movie, you’d know that The Scuttler receives plenty of screen-time and is one of the more memorable Bat-vehicles in the movie,…

Review: LEGO 70905 The Batmobile

January 18, 2017 By Jay 22 Comments

For my second LEGO Batman Movie set review, it made perfect sense to take on one of the more notable and recognizable builds from the theme – 70905 The Batmobile! After starting with The Joker’s Notorious Lowrider, which I had mixed feelings for thanks to its relatively high price, I was more than ready to switch…

Review: LEGO 76056 Rescue from Ra’s al Ghul

July 27, 2016 By Jay 24 Comments

We’re days away from August, which means that the remainder of the second half of 2016 sets are due to be released in Australia stores. This year, LEGO did a few things differently – one of which is that they seeded selected sets from the 2HY catalogue to several different retailers before the general release. I…

Review: LEGO 76034 The Batboat Harbour Pursuit

August 18, 2015 By Jay 10 Comments

A minor wave of LEGO DC Super Heroes sets recently hit Australian stores, I think sometime in the middle of June and I picked up The Batboat Harbour Pursuit purely to get my hands on the long awaited Deathstroke minifigure. If you’ve been reading my blog and LEGO Super Heroes reviews for some time, you’d…

Lots of stickers, lots of teeth and not enough Sym Lots of stickers, lots of teeth and not enough Symbiote tendrils.

My early review of 76199 Carnage is now live on the blog, hit the link in bio to read, or swipe through the gallery to see more photos!

If you enjoy LEGO’s Helmet collection, or are a big Carnage/Spider-Man fan Carnage will be a no-brainer addition to your collection.

With all my helmets currently on display, Carnage is the ones that stands out the most, in a good way, and I like that they’re expanding Marvel’s helmet collection.

I do think that there’s a wasted opportunity here with the lack of tentacles, or Symbiote tendrils sticking out from the back. I know it will technically break the Helmets’ style and design language, but for a character like Carnage, it feels like a massive miss to not have anything stick out.

Will you be picking up 76199 Carnage?

🚨 BREAKING: Effective immediately, the LEGO Gro 🚨 BREAKING: Effective immediately, the LEGO Group announced that it would be strengthening its commitment to Child Safety and Safe Play by mandating that proof of age identification be presented when purchasing all 18+ adult-focused sets, online or at LEGO Brand Retail Stores.

LEGO sets being purchased by adults have quadrupled in the last year compared to a decade ago, as adults flock towards the LEGO brick, a trend that was accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic.

To prevent these 18+ sets from falling into the wrong and age-inappropriate hands, The LEGO Group will now require its customers to provide the following proof of age documents: driver’s license, passport, social security card (USA) or any other valid government-issued form of identification.

“At the LEGO Group, child safety is our number one priority” says Søren Christiansen, Senior Child Safety Compliance Officer.

“Following complaints from parents, we cannot afford to expose impressionable children or teenagers to adults-only sets like Winnie the Pooh. The LEGO 18+ label has allowed us to broaden our product portfolio and explore adult-themes like 123 Sesame Street, which would be highly inappropriate for children.”

They’re not the main characters in this wacky new #Vidiyo world, and most of the minifigure designs show – while I do like the cohesive musical-theme that these characters are based off, and the wild colours, I was left wanting a little more.

What did surprise me was just how much I liked the Beatbits. The artwork and design prowess that has gone into them are just sublime, and I love that we get to see the talents of LEGO’s Graphic Design team put to excellent use with these quirky LEGO takes on physical media.
Overall, I have mixed feelings about Bandmates series 1. 

It’s crystal clear that @LEGO funelled the most unique and promising designs into the more expensive Beatboxes (for $$$), and a lot of the characters here just feel like an afterthought.

That said, there are some gems such as the Ice Cream Saxophonist, Shark Singer and Genie Dancer, and while the animal minifigures don’t do it for me, they might bother other fans less.
