    Poll Time! Week 38’s Set of the Week

    Another short week for votes and that’s on me. But I partially blame Nintendo too.

    Last Week’s Winner

    And the winner is this slightly over-engineered Batsignal searchlight. I say over-engineered not as a slight but as a compliment. It looks awesome. The set that it came from, 5004930 Accessory Pack, should have “The LEGO Batman Movie” in the name so it was 5004930 The LEGO Batman Movie Accessory Pack and that’s really the worst thing about it.

    So if the lede wasn’t a big enough clue, this Milano mini is pretty chibi, pretty chunky, and because of that pretty satisfying.

    The bulk of its mass is right in the body. I know that sounds obvious because where else would the center of mass be? But if you look at something like, the X-wing, it’s more or less spindly and kind of flat when the S-foils have not been locked in attack position. But our Milano? It is a chunky boi.

    Sure, it’s got these three flaps on each side to look like wings, to try and spread itself out, but there’s no denying that it doesn’t quite work. The flaps are a bit oddly sized too. Too large based on this scale but I don’t think they could have been any other size unless they used 1×2 wedge plates would have been oh so adorable.

    The rear has what I assume to be a pair of thrusters. They’re circular in shape and are attached by these pins that can be rotated. But I see these as feet and voilà!

    You have yourself a Milano Go-Bot! How awesome is this?!?! Like totes awesome! And once you see the face, you can’t unsee. You’re welcome!

    One last note: I love the way the Milano‘s nose was constructed.

    Does It Suck or Does It Rock?

     

    This set absolutely rocks my socks off! It’s chibi, it’s chunky, it looks like a mechanized manta ray when standing up. It’s awesome. I love this thing.

    Specifically, you get those handy hinge plates in green. I know, it’s not that impressive.

    The eyes and head are the worst part. The eyes use green headlight bricks with a black 1×1 round plate sandwiched by a white dish. The effect of this has the eyes float away from the oversized head. They could have used a regular 1×1 brick with a stud on one side to make the eye lie flush against the side of the head and that would have improved things slightly.

    I only say slightly because even if they did do that, the head is still way too big. Maybe it’s a baby lizard? Baby animals tend to have oversized heads compared to the rest of their body so maybe that’s what they were going for.

    The tongue is not centered.

    And neither is the tail. I’m sure there was a way to use jumper plates to center them but maybe I am expecting too much? I mean it’s a cheap polybag, smaller than normal sized. I don’t know what I was expecting, but something better than we actually got would have been nice.

    Does It Suck or Does It Rock?

     

    This set sucks! And it sucks for all the reasons above. It’s not a long review. Go back and read it if you’re skip-to-the-end kind of person. I’m just being lazy and don’t want to try and write up a concluding paragraph on a set this mediocre.

    The hilarious thing about Spider-Man toys in general is that he always seems to be outfitted with some awesome vehicles and gadgets without ever explaining how he came to have these toys. I mean, anyone who was familiar with Peter Parker and the Spider-Man mythos knows Peter had humble beginnings as a student, and then as a newspaper reporter all while moonlighting as the friendly, neighborhood wall-crawler. And living in New York ain’t cheap. So how is he able to afford anything outside of rent and still come up with weird gadgets and vehicles?

    The MCU Spider-Man films attempt to explain that, with him being taken under Tony Stark and then eventually inheriting Stark Enterprises. That’s great and all, but I still prefer my version of Spider-Man from when I grew up: a poor, underappreciated super hero who can barely rub two pennies together who also happens to have things like this Spider-Glider.

    And you know, since this is Spider-Man with all his weird and oddball tech, it’s not just a plain glider, but a get-propelled one. There’s a giant turbine engine in the back.

    There’s a pair of flick-fire missiles facing forward up top. Not sure what the clear dome is for. Maybe it’s a “smart” glider with AI and it houses a bunch of sensors for automated flight. It makes sense right? If Spider-Man uses his glider to get to a crime scene, he can’t just lean it up against a building to come to it later when he’s ready to go home to Aunt May, right?

    Down below, there’s a set of mechanical arms in case he needs to swoop down and grab a bag of money. I’m not saying he’s a thief or anything but he has to finance his toys somehow.

    Thankfully, when fully folded up, the arms tuck out of the way so the glider can lay flat on a surface.

    The Spider-Man minifig is just a plain, ol’ Spider-Man minifig in his classic red and blue outfit. Not a bad thing at all if you’re a Spider-Man fan.

    Does It Suck or Does It Rock?

     

    This set rocks! 30407 Harry’s Journey to Hogwarts is very similar to 30110 Trolley. It does some things better, and some things worse, but generally still a very solid set based on the same scene.

    I say that tongue in cheek obviously, because we just reviewed 30110 Trolley exactly one week ago. Spiritually, they are the same beast, but there are a few slight differences between the two

    Harry has proper short legs now, pegging him at the start of Year 2 at Hogwarts. He looks great in his Hogwarts uniform.

    Call me dense but I never realized until now that this particular hairpiece is molded in such a way as to show off Harry’s famous scar all the time.

    Hedwig is in a proper bird cage. Although there is nothing to hang him off of, I do like that they include the mechanical claw at the top to clip it onto a bar so that should you have a MOC or something that has a place to hang things, like a bird cage, this bird cage is ready to go. It’s also pretty nicely built. It looks like a cage without being too bulky.

    The trolley cart is way different. First thing you’ll notice is that there aren’t any actual wheels. Why the designer decided to go with plates with pin holes to merely suggest wheels because of the pin holes’ round shape is a bit baffling. The wheel solution from 30110 was more or less perfect and this feels like a gigantic downgrade.

    Next the trolley’s contents is just more than a chest full of galleons. There’s a suitcase, a book of magic I presume, and a pot, or a mortar without its pestle. The details are nice. My only complaint though would be that the suitcase and the book aren’t secured between the two panel wall plates so they could pop out with the slightest bump and become… dun dun dun… loose things.

    This is the unofficial Geo Metro Convertible LEGO set. For those of you not old enough to know what a Geo Metro Convertible is, it was the cheapest convertible car you can get during the early ’90’s. If that was the sole feature you wanted in a car, that it be a convertible, and you didn’t care about things like reliability, then the Geo Metro was perfect for you.

    I will give this car props though. So few LEGO polybag cars have sideview mirrors, it’s actually probably the best feature. And that’s just sad right?

    Well, it’s true. This is a crappy car. It even has the hubcap style wheel covers.

    Does It Suck or Does It Rock?

    This set rocks! You know, as much as I hate this car and the real world model it’s based on, I have to admit, it’ll fit right into a Friends-themed layout. It’s small enough to even pass as a go-kart, or one of those electric toy cars you from FAO Schwartz or Toys’R’Us, you know, back in the day when they were in business. And that’s the only reason why it gets the thumbs up, the way it can fit into alongside any Friends set. And just barely. I’m feeling generous tonight.

  • A Year of Polybags 185/260: 30270 Kraang Laser Turret Review

    A Year of Polybags 185/260: 30270 Kraang Laser Turret Review

    For some reason, I thought today’s polybag, 30270 Kraang Laser Turret, was called “Kraang Target Practice” and I was all ready to make a “can’t hit the broadside of a barn” joke considering how bad their aim is in the show. But no, it had to “Kraang Laser Turret” instead.

    Fine. But I will argue that the Laser Turret is only half the story being told here. Based on the front of the bag, there’s also a Kraang and some Ninja Turtle muppets for the Laser Turret to knock down.

    The only thing missing from this Kraang minifigure is a walkie-talkie element that should double as a remote control. Because that’s what that is right? A remote controlled Laser Turret?

    If not, it’s almost as if the Turret is a pet, and the Kraang saying, “Good boy! Knock down the ones that call themselves the turtles!” I can hear it in the signature Kraang voice and it just cracks me up.

    Does It Suck or Does It Rock?

    This set rocks! Seeing the Turtles in muppet form is neat. But really the Kraang minifigure is the real draw here, along with an automoton defense device. It’s got all the markings of an army builder polybag and if you are a fan of the 2012 series of Nick’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, this set is a must have.

  • A Year of Polybags 184/260: 5004930 Accessory Pack Review

    A Year of Polybags 184/260: 5004930 Accessory Pack Review

    Today’s set, 5004930 Accessory Pack, is chock full of goodies promoting The LEGO Batman Movie. There’s only one thing in this set that really stands out from the rest. But I’ll save the best for last and show you what else comes in this packed polybag.

    There’s a double-sided poster. One for the good guys.

    And one for the bad guys. The poster measure 11″x17″ and comes folded for obvious reasons.

    There’s a sticker sheet. Every graphic you see is a sticker, including the “LEGO Batman Movie” logo at the top.

    You get a Batman minifig with a Batarang. It’s an obvious, no-brainer inclusion. There’s nothing special about him but who wouldn’t like getting Batman in minifig form?

    And finally, the real star of the show, is the Batsignal. I’ve seen slash built a couple of Batsignals from various sets or promotions, but none have been as substantial as this one. It’s taller than a minifig. It swivels on the turntable base and tilts on Technic friction pins with axle. It feels weighty and solid.

    There’s a 2×2 round tile with a Batman logo in the middle. Presumably, this is where the light is supposed to shine through. Now THAT would be the only thing that could make this set even better, is a working light through some kind of transparent tile with a Batman logo on it.

    Does It Suck or Does It Rock?

    This set rocks! There’s a lot of goodies packed in this one polybag that I think kids would love: the poster, the stickers, a Batman minifigure. For me, it’s all about that awesome Batsignal. This polybag could have just been that and it would have been just as great. The other stuff is nice and all but a bit distracting from what I consider the real meat of the set. You can plop this baby right on top of any Modular Building and it would just look awesome! I’ve always fancied the idea of making a Batman chess set. And if I ever did, this is the Batsignal I would use for the rooks.

  • A Year of Polybags 183/260: 5002045 Pyjamas Emmet Review

    A Year of Polybags 183/260: 5002045 Pyjamas Emmet Review

    One of the best things to come out of The LEGO Movie are the various different head prints for Emmet. They are comicly expressive on a level not seen in LEGO before nor after. Minifigure heads always held the line of simplicity and efficiency. But these Emmet heads fully lean in on being cartoony. Today’s set, 5002045 Pyjamas Emmet, is a perfect example of this.

    Seen at the beginning of the first movie, what we have here is Emmet in his pyjamas, just waking up and starting his day. The head is double-sided and the side you see on the bag has Emmet winking. Well, it may not be a wink but him just trying to open his eyes from a long night’s sleep.

    The other side of the head is a full on, wide-mouthed yawn. Just look at the size of that pie hole! It could also serve double duty as a face that is strenuously yelling. In any case, it is just great. The mouth takes up more than half the surface area of the face!

    The rest of the fig isn’t all the unique but rather difficult to come by at this point. The pyjama torso and legs were also seen in a Collectible Minifigure Series 6 minifigure, Sleepyhead. And those are some pretty sweet pieces featuring printing on the arms and the sides of the legs. Just awesome.

    Does It Suck or Does It Rock?

    This set rocks! A simple promotional figure that has one exclusive part. That may or may not be irksome, depending on how you feel about rare minifig parts. Some fans may cry foul due to only being through a newspaper promotion in one specific country. I dig it though.

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.
