At first glance, today’s set, 30042 Mini Sub, seemed like it would be a winner. You build a pretty robust mini sub but it’s not all that great.

It looks kinda okay right? But that exposed propeller in the back is a HUGE safety hazard. See?:

That thing will maim and dismember anyone stupid enough to use it.

And I’m not entirely sure what is going on with the crystal ball head. At first I thought it was a headlight of some kind, but then why is there a megaphone flashlight as well?

The scuba diver has a double-sided head. I think this is the face of a minifig who just realized how dangerous the mini sub is.

It’s not a bad minifig. The scuba gear is honking huge though.

I feel like I’m struggling to write anything interesting about this set. Which just goes to show how terrible it is.

Does It Suck or Does It Rock?

This set sucks! It’s boring.

Sponsorship

There’s no sponsor this week, and with sponsorships lasting a whole week, you can get plenty of exposure for mere pennies. Pennies I say! Want to sponsor a review? Send me a message to admin@fbtb.net or hit me up on discord of the polybag set you have that you want me to review. If selected, in exchange for the set you’ll get a mention right here in the review post and a link to your website or social media account or just about anything else.. Nearly free advertising, so what’s stopping you?

You Can Win This And Every Other Polybag I Review This Year

I’ll be raffling every polybag I review this year in one big lot, all 260 sets (with the possibility of more). Each set will be individually stored in a ziploc baggie complete with the extra pieces, instructions, and the actual polybag bag it came in. The cost of a raffle ticket is just $1 USD and you can enter as many times as you want. Send a PayPal payment to paypal@fbtb.net for $1 USD for every ticket you want to purchase. DO NOT send one payment for multiple entries i.e. do not send one $5 USD payment for five tickets; five $1 USD payments must be made instead. Raffle is open to everyone in the world except where raffles are illegal. Be sure to put “POLYBAG RAFFLE” in the notes section of the payment in order to be entered successfully. Winner will be drawn sometime early January 2023 and contacted at the PayPal email address the payment was sent from to arrange for delivery. For a running list of all the sets that you can win, check this Google spreadsheet.
