LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) Polybag Review

April 25, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Next week is the start of the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th 2018 event and the main item during the promotion is the BB-8 (40288) polybag. It consists of 48 pieces and you can get it on May 4th only with a purchase of $75 or more while supplies last.

BB-8 is in the same scale as the R2-D2 from last year. The build is fairly simple and the base of it uses a basic cube technique. It also relies on five printed 4×4 dishes for the design of the body which is good.

The bottom dish is attached to some plates which connects to the bottom of the cube while having a Technic joint to attach the head to.

As for the head, it is also printed and uses the same dome piece as R2-D2 but with BB-8 design. As I said before, it attaches to the body using a Technic pin and the joint allows it to wobble. This is an easy technique but is also very effective as it simulates BB-8’s head movement.

One thing I don’t like about this build is the use of the dish on the bottom. Because there’s a stud on it, BB-8 has a tendency to tip over very frequently but he’s fine if you gently set him down.

Overall, the LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) polybag is a decent one that fits nicely to last year’s build. I also understand that some fans prefer the exclusive minifigures much more than the builds. The scale of BB-8 … Continue

LEGO BrickHeadz Go Brick Me (41597) Review

April 5, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Ever since LEGO revealed the next iteration of the BrickHeadz line with Go Brick Me (41597), LEGO fans may think differently of this set even if they haven’t picked up a single BrickHeadz before. The idea of this set is that you are able to customize the BrickHeadz to your liking whether it be of yourself or pretty much anybody else. It has a generous 708 pieces and retails for $29.99 which is a great deal even if you do not intend to build a single BrickHeadz out of this set.

There are are seven different bags along with the instruction booklet and a small sticker sheet. One of the bags is numbered which is used to build the blank BrickHeadz, aka Nonnie, which is used as a template.

The other bags have parts that are used to create your own unique BrickHeadz character. The one with the tan, brown, and dark orange bricks are used for BrickHeadz’ skin color while the colorful bag are used for building the torsos and legs. The parts in the other bags are separated into yellow, orange, brown, and black are used for the head and hair.

The sticker sheet has a number of transparent decals that you can add on to the BrickHeadz for even more detailing. I especially like the Blacktron one as that particular one could be very popular among fans.
