REVIEW: Man-Bat Attack - set no.76011



This set is AWESOME. Even if you didn't like comic books or Batman this set would still be great! A helicopter, a jet-pack-glider and 3 minifigures, two of them exclusive to this set, what is there to complain about? The price for part is roughly 10p (0.17 USD) meaning it's great value as well. Play-ability is pretty good to with two flick fire missiles and a hook on a string for tying up or hooking the mischievous Man-Bat. For the younger kids, the tail of the helicopter doubles as a handle for grabbing the helicopter and flying it about. Over all the helicopter is fairly sturdy, but the rotor blades are easily broken off, but they can easily be snapped back on again. As for the glider, this is also very cool. it has a great sticker on, and nightwing fits on perfectly. However, the glider is easier to break, with the fire/boosters coming of most often.
The minifigures are great! Nightwing has great printing on both sides of the body, and a double sided face, he has no accessories. Batman has great double sided printing on the torso, as well as a double sided face. He comes with one batarang, but the set includes one extra spare. Man-bat has a very detailed double sided print on the body, as well as his special wing arms. He also has a double sided face, and two dynamite accessories.
Over all, I love this set and recommend it to everyone over 6 years old, including the AFOLs!

Can Lego bricks be connected diagonally?

Despite the Lego movie being advertised as the first ever feature length Lego film, there have been Lego films before, such as Clutch Powers. When watching the film, I noticed that Clutch says Lego bricks can never connect diagonally, and yet Moc makers achieve angles in their creations by attaching bricks diagonally all the time! Which brings me finally to the point of this post, a picture of one of my mocs. What is it? I don't know, but it looks cool!


Doctor Who?

With two different Lego Doctor Who Cuusoo projects reaching 10,000 supporters in the same month, it looks like us whovians might finally be getting the time traveller in brick form! For those of you who aren't familiar with Cuusoo, the projects will now go though the Lego review stage, and Lego will announce later this year if either of them will be made.

We all loved seeing Honest Abe flying away from cloud cuckoo land in the Lego movie on his flying-space-chair thing, and now you have a chance to build it! All you need is the Abraham Lincoln figure from the Lego movie mini-figure series and some easy-to-find Lego pieces!
