LEGO Harry Potter Hermione’s Study Desk (30392) Polybag Revealed

July 16, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There’s a new LEGO Harry Potter polybag that has surfaced on the LEGO building instructions page with Hermione’s Study Desk (30392). The polybag consists of 31 pieces but there’s no word yet on the pricing or if it’s a gift with purchase promotional item. If you can buy it, it’ll most likely be $4.99.

It features Hermione with the Hogwarts robes along with a desk and it even has a stand for the owl even though she didn’t really have an owl. The polybag also includes a mystery wizard card. Since they are randomly inserted into sets, this may be the cheapest way to collect them aside from buying directly from the secondary market.

LEGO BrickHeadz La Catrina (40492) Review

July 15, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO latest offering for the LEGO BrickHeadz line is something that’s really interesting and different than what they’ve been doing which is La Catrina (40492). La Catrina is designed by José Guadalupe Posada and is the icon of the Mexican Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead. The set has 141 pieces and will be available on August 1 for $9.99.

She wears a very colorful dress that’s in magenta with green and yellow accents. The dress is pretty fluffy as shown with the slopes on all four sides. The front of the dress has a printed 1×4 brick to show the collar.

La Catrina’s face is also printed with various tiles and it is decorated with some traditional designs as seen on other art pieces such as the dots around the face and the stitched mouth.

Her magenta colored hat is filled with decorations in the front lip which includes some flowers.

Overall, the LEGO BrickHeadz La Catrina (40492) is a pretty unique BrickHeadz since it doesn’t really fit into any of their subthemes. I suppose it could be be Halloween related since the character is to celebrate the Day of the Dead. I really like the designs on it and I’m sure fans will customize it to their liking.

Thank you to LEGO for sending in this set for me to review. The content above represents my own opinion and not the company. Review sets sent in does not guarantee a positive review.

The set is mainly based on the upcoming What If…? series on Disney+ and part of the set is also loosely based on the Bullet Points comic run back in 2007. It has 343 pieces and will retail for $29.99.

Minifigures

There are three minifigures in this set, Captain Carter, Steve Rogers, and Red Skull. Captain Carter is the result of Peggy Carter taking the super-soldier serum instead of Steve Roger. She has on a dark blue outfit and is designed with the Union Jack. There is hardly any red on it which is different from what was seen in the traier. The back of the torso has printing for the harness for the shield. She has a double-sided head with a smile on one side and an angry expression on the other. Her accessory is a shield also designed with the Union Jack.

Steve Rogers is pretty normal looking with his olive green World War II outfit. Here he volunteers for Howard Stark’s Project: Iron Man in which he wears the Hydra Stomper suit. As for his outfit, there is a backpack strapped on the back. He also has a double-sided head with a smile on one side and an angry expression on the other.
