May The 4th Lego Store Gift: R2-D2 (30611)

R2-D2 (30611) is a $50 purchase gift from Lego Store on May 4th, 2017 at Canada. It has 70pcs, a new brick, and lots of extra good bricks. This set's trick is building the body up-side-down: studs are downward. Interesting.



The poly bag has a small bag for the tiny bricks.



This is a new useful brick. I would buy a lot if Lego Store's Pick-A-Brick wall has it.



It's way easier to build stuff with this brick in the future.



Good extra bricks!

Lego Justice League Batmobile Modification

Justice League movie is coming very soon after Wonder Woman's. Out of my expectation, Justice League's batmobile is almost the same as Batman Vs Superman version. The main difference is Justice League version is a bit taller. The front twin machine guns becomes a rocket launcher. Both sides have two long machine guns and a cannon on the top beside the driver side.

Lego's original BvS version doesn't have the front wheel guards (lazy...) and the upcoming JL version won't have it too (From the leaked image). If you google that leaked image, you will see JL version batmobile is in a largest set. It's pretty unbelievably... bad. Although I think Lego people won't spend a second in my blog from a nobody fan, I really want to say Lego is not making nice sets recently. When Lego's competitions are so weak (MegaBlcks and Kre-O), it really has no need to make things nicely especially the cheaper sets.

(Question pops up... There are so many good MOC people out there. Why don't Megablcks and Kre-O hire them? And why designers at Lego's competitions are so bad?)

Old Lego Bat Wing 2006 (7782)

It was a pretty nicely designed Bat Wing from 2006. This was not a real Lego (I think it's Decool but not sure). In the good old days, Lego had no ugly stud shooters like nowadays. The cannon projectile was hidden inside the tail of the Bat Wing. I changed some grey tiles into black (I don't like grey parts in any Batman vehicle).

I wish I will move to a bigger house to show all Lego Batman vehicles in a custom built batcave :-)

Updated Batmobile from Batman Vs Superman

I updated the Batmobile from Batman Vs Superman (BvS). Actually, it was a nice model from Lego except Lego gave up to build the complicated front side of the car. Lego would do a way better job than most of the MOC people, I think. But Lego designers were limited by budget (brick counts) and the deadly "Play feature included" rule.

Looking it from a better side, Lego left you space for modification in each set...
