For my next review of the LEGO Juniors The Incredibles 2 sets, I have the Underminer Bank Heist (10760) which retails for $24.99 and has 149 pieces. Inside the box, there are three numbered bags, some loose Quick Start molds, and the instruction booklet. Minifigures There are three minifigures in this set, Mr. Incredible, Mrs. Incredible, and Underminer. Mr. Incredible is slightly different from the version in the Disney Collectible Minifigures (71012) in some aspects. The muscle printing is more defined in this version and the orange belt is printed on the torso instead of on the legs. He has a double-sided head with a smirk on one side and a smile on the other. The hair piece is the same as before. Mrs. Incredible makes another appearance in these LEGO Juniors sets. This version of her is the normal arm one and the outfit is similar to Mr. Incredible.

So much for him huh? Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

You didn't think he got to be the "king of burgers" solely on the merits of the Whopper did you? No, if you want to dominate in the world of fast food you need a strategy, you need a colossal marketing program, and you need something else, something special. This is the BK-900 "Burgermeister Rex" by Baron Julius von Brunk, and it's here to conquer. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

You might think this is just a lowly, humble clothespin. But I'm here to tell you this is the unsung hero of the film set, the venerable C-47. Yes, that's actually what this is called on a film set, the story is that's what it's catalog name was way back when, and for some reason the name stuck. All I know is I have a load of them in my studio, and they're darned handy to have around. A nifty little build by gan.marco. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
