The LEGO Ninjago Movie Mini Green Ninja Mech Dragon (30428) Polybag Review

August 30, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

From September 4-21, LEGO will be having a The LEGO Ninjago Movie promotion in which you can get a free Mini Green Ninja Mech Dragon (30428) polybag with a purchase of $35 or more. I got the 60 piece polybag during TLNM panel at San Diego Comic Con 2017 but I was holding off on reviewing it until I got another one since that one is kind of exclusive with the labels on the polybag.

The build is pretty straight-forward and it uses a lot of the smaller ball joint pieces for the head, body, legs, and tail. The dragon itself is smaller than your standard minifigure but it is long. Like with its larger counterpart, it can be displayed in a number of poses due to it having the ball joint pieces. Some interesting parts useage include a pearl-gold bucket handle for the horns and a sai for the tip of the tail.

There are some things that look kind of off as well. First is the blue eyes. In the larger version, the eyes are actually green. Another thing that bugs me a little more are the feet. I wished that LEGO would have used the modified 1×1 tooth piece instead since it would’ve worked better.

Overall, The LEGO Ninjago Movie Mini Green Ninja Mech Dragon (30428) polybag isn’t the most glamorous polybag out there but it’s a decent one and fairly easy to obtain. Again, it will be available for a majority of September with a $35 purchase.

August 27, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

If you’re collecting The LEGO Ninjago Movie sets, there’s another polybag that has been found in the wild here in the US. The Quake Mech (30379) polybag was found at Walmart stores and they were located in an aisle display. No word on pricing but I assume they were $3.97 each.

Thanks to Fikinbricks for the heads up.

LEGO Star Wars Scarif Stormtrooper (40176) Polybag Review

August 23, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

Next week is Force Friday II for Star Wars: The Last Jedi and LEGO will be having some promotions going on for it. One of these promos is the exclusive LEGO Star Wars Scarif Stormtrooper (40176) minifigure polybag with a purchase of $50 or more. This polybag is in the same style as the R3-M2 (40268) as it has a stand and backing card.

Minifigure

The Scarif Stormtrooper, also known as a shoretrooper, is exclusive to this set as it is different from the one in the TIE Striker (75154) and the Battle on Scarif (75171). He has on a tan armor with a sand blue stripe that goes across the top. Both of the arms are also sand blue. The legs are also tan with some brown on the upper half. He also wears a dark blue kama around the waist to signify that he is a squad leader. His accessory is a blaster rifle.

Stand

Continuing with this series of minifigure polybags, the Scarif Stormtrooper also comes with a stand. The build is the exact same as R3-M2 as it uses a black 3×4 plate to stand the minifigure on. It also has a Technic pin to connect to R3-M2’s stand.

The background card shows a sandy location, most likely on the beach of Scarif. Once again, you have the LEGO Star Wars logo on top with the copyright on the left side. It connects to the stand using a couple of Technic axles on the back. One thing to note is that, … Continue

LEGO Star Wars R3-M2 (40268) Polybag Review

August 14, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

Way back in January, it was revealed that there was a new LEGO Star Wars polybag with R3-M2 (40268). It had a little stand with a backing that is different from your standard minifigure polybags. There was little to no detail on its availability except for it showing up at LEGOLAND California back in March and a recently showing up at Toys R Us.

I was able to purchase it for $5.99 online before the page was taken down. It was also reported that they can be found in store but they do have a street date of August 26. You may get lucky and be able to purchase it but there’s a high chance that you won’t be able to purchase until then.

Minifigure

R3-M2 is a very obscure astromech droid that has only appeared shortly in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The body has your typical LEGO droid pattern with the main notable differences being the large bold stripes as well as the brown and tan coloring. The back of the torso and both legs have no printing at all however according to the one in The Disney Collection 2016 Droid Factory 4-Pack, R3-M2 is supposed to have a brown stripe going down the back. The dome is trans-black with a silver ring at the base with some brown panels throughout.

R3-M2 comes with a stand that also has a backing card. The stand itself uses the black 3×4 that sits on … Continue

The LEGO Star Wars R3-M2 (40268) polybag is currently available for purchase at Toys R Us for $5.99 each. I’ve also been told that they have started showing up in stores but they do have a street date of August 26. Your mileage may vary at your particular store. I’m assuming there will be a promotion going on for them the week after. The item number for it is 814240.

Thanks to everyone who emailed in about it.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ice Tank Polybag (30427) Review

August 5, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

The LEGO Ninjago Movie sets are now available and there are also a number of polybags that you can find as well. One of these polybags is the Ice Tank (30427) which is currently available at Target stores for $3.49 each.

The 71 piece polybag is a basically a miniature version of the regular 70616 Ice Tank which I’ve already reviewed. This smaller one has all of the defining features of the Ice Tank like the cockpit and the ice cannon in the front, the panels in the middle, the treads on the wheels, and the ice container in the back.

I do like the use of the small chain links for the treads as they were previously only used for LEGO Technic sets. I will say they do not roll well on smooth surfaces but they do work great on carpet or fabric surfaces.

Overall, The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ice Tank Polybag (30427) is a neat little model if you’re a MOC fodder, the chain links themselves are almost worth the price of the polybag itself. As mentioned before, the polybag can be found at Target and I found mine at the checkout lanes.
