Just when I thought I was done with board games, along comes this… thing… from CMON. I say thing with a touch of disdain and a bit of excitement because CMON is doing the thing that Nick touched upon in his review of the LEGO NES set and that is preying on our nostalgia. Or […] The post Fan of Metal Gear Solid? You Might Want This Board Game Adaptation appeared first on FBTB. Original link

I messed up the numbers again. But I think they’re all square. I had them set at “xxx/230” when they should have been “xxx/260”. I’m a bit further away than I thought and I’m running out of bags. Need to stock up at some point soon. Let’s see which minifig polybag pulled ahead to claim […] The post Poll Time! Week 42’s Set of the Week appeared first on FBTB. Original link

There is one major deficiency to today’s set, 30391 Rapunzel’s Lantern Boat, and that is the absence of Flynn Rider. Of course, the source material that inspired this set may not be from the Tangled movie but could be from any of the other animated features available on Disney+. Searching for “Tangled” you’re served 5 […] The post A Year of Polybags 215/260: 30391 Rapunzel’s Lantern Boat Review appeared first on FBTB. Original link

I’ve been caught up with Tears of the Kingdom, so this is coming in late. But it’s just a temporary thing honestly. It’s part that and partly because today’s set, 30420 Harry Potter and Hedwig: Owl Delivery, sucks, and its hard to write about sucky things. Technically speaking, this was supposed to be yesterday’s set, […] The post A Year of Polybags 214/260: 30420 Harry Potter and Hedwig: Owl Delivery Review appeared first on FBTB. Original link

One of the things I really enjoyed about Breath of the Wild was the myriad of outfits one can get from scanning amiibo. Thankfully, you don’t need amiibo in Tears of the Kingdom to get those same outfits since they are now embedded in base game by way of treasure chests giving everyone access without […] The post I Used the Infinite Item Glitch In Tears of the Kingdom and Don’t Feel Bad About It appeared first on FBTB.

This might as a surprise, or maybe not if you’ve been following this blog for a long time, but I’ve never built a set from The LEGO Batman Movie. And if I did, I sure as heck don’t remember. One thing I’m certain of is that from today’s set, 30523 The Joker Battle Training, this […] The post A Year of Polybags 213/260: 30523 The Joker Battle Training Review appeared first on FBTB.

I can’t remember the last time I built a STAP. It must have been an add-on that was part of a larger vehicle. All I know is the lasting impression from that build, whenever it was, is that it was insubstantial and flimsy. Today’s set, 30058 STAP, is neither of those things. It feels well […] The post A Year of Polybags 212/230: 30058 STAP Review appeared first on FBTB. Original link

I know that the pandemic hasn’t really ended, we’ve just sort of all agreed to pretend like it has (or, more accurately, the realities of our stupid capitalist system makes it so we all have to just go about our lives with a slightly greater chance of dying all the time so that people can […] The post LEGO Announces 10323 PAC-MAN Arcade Machine appeared first on FBTB.

You know how sometimes if you say a word too much, like “sofa”, it begins to not make sense? That’s kind of like how today’s set, 30451 Spider-Man’s Mini Spider Crawler, is: you think about it too much and it starts to not make any sense. The Mini Spider Crawler offers no tactical advantage. It’s […] The post A Year of Polybags 211/230: 30451 Spider-Man’s Mini Spider Crawler Review appeared first on FBTB. Original link

This week is all minifigs. And I had done slightly more planning at the beginning of this year-long project, I would have grouped a week’s worth of reviews into themes like I did this week. Oh well. Last Week’s Winner I kinda had a feeling 5003084 The Hulk was going to win. Not because the […] The post Poll Time! Week 42’s Set of the Week appeared first on FBTB. Original link
