I should probably set a cap on the number of Waterboy references I get to make in this post, because as a man in his 40s with a brain firmly stuck in the late 90s and early 00s, that’s where my brain goes. I’m going to try to limit myself to one… but I promise […] The post LEGO Announces Frustratingly Small Foosball Table Set with Amazingly Large Figure Selection appeared first on FBTB. Original link
This year is the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons, a game that I know a little bit about, as I’ve been playing it on and off since I was a teenager back in the 2nd Edition days in the 90s. For those keeping score, that’s after when Stranger Things was set, but still a […] The post LEGO taps the IDEAS community to come up Dungeons & Dragons sets appeared first on FBTB. Original link

Would anyone notice if I just skipped a week? Because that is essentially where we are at right now. And by “we” I mean “me” squarely pointing a thumb at my own chest. I am exactly one week’s worth of reviews behind and I don’t feel bad about it at all. I’ve been having so […] The post A Year of Polybags 192/260: 30141 ADU Jet Pack Review appeared first on FBTB.

Can’t afford the humongous UCS AT-AT at $799? You can get that AT-AT’s little brother, 75288 AT-AT, for 20% off. Normally this sucker’s $159.99, but it’s price tag is now just $127.99. If you grab this now before August’s price hike, it’s like you’re getting an even deeper discount. Still too spendy? You can get […] The post Get The non-UCS AT-ATs for 20% off, Other LEGO Star Wars Sets On Sale Too appeared first on FBTB. Original link
While there’ve been several polybags where a number was printed on the bag but no set name, there were a few where the name was printed but no five-digit set number. So it defaults to the product number found on the back of the bag just above the bar code. Today’s set, 5002130 Good Morning Bilbo […] The post A Year of Polybags 141/260: 5002130 Good Morning Bilbo Baggins Review appeared first on FBTB. Original link
stuff Last Week’s Winner I honestly didn’t think last week’s race was going to be this close. It wasn’t a race for first place between two sets, but between three. 30050 MINI Republic Attack Shuttle came out on top with 30% of the votes, followed by 30247 ARC-170 Starfighter and 30460 Rex’s Plantimal Ambush, surprisingly, […] The post Poll Time!

Today’s polybag, 30454 Shang-Chi and The Great Protector, is based off of the Marvel hit, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Even though it feels a bit disconnected from the overall MCU, I hope they make more because representation matters. In the meantime, we get this really nice polybag. It’s a mini version of […] The post A Year of Polybags 140/260: 30454 Shang-Chi and The Great Protector Review appeared first on FBTB. Original link
Today’s polybag, 30071 Army Jeep, is exactly like the other Toy Story Army set, 7595 Army Men on Patrol, just 1/4 the size. Instead of four Army Men, you get one. Instead of a full sized jeep that can technically seat four with some creative attachments, you get a miniature one that barely seats one.
