Below is a closer look at both, including parts used and the final builds. The Turtle Van was especially nice to pickup. It is a great micro version of the Turtle Van set that was released August 1st. The parts on offer are nice with a couple of them being more sought-after than others, I’m looking at you Sand Green mudguards.

Being told by fellow AFOLs the LEGO DreamZzz polybag was also given away elsewhere was a nice surprise. I’ll get into the specifics of this one a bit more below. If rumours are correct these polybags are set to be a GWP from LEGO in the not too distant future. Thank you to LEGO and Intertoys for supplying these builds free of charge, we as fans really appreciate these giveaway products that allow us to dip our toes into the brand new DreamZzz theme.

LEGO DreamZzz Turtle Van Make & Take:

LEGO DreamZzz Blob And Bunchu Spider Escape (30636):

As some might notice there’s some exciting new parts in this polybag. The white horns, magenta domes, eye prints and figures are new for this wave.

When I’m looking at creating a polybag or smaller set, I really try to make them a useful addition to the rest of the sets in the wave or a good way to get some of our new characters. In this case, being a brand new theme with lots of new molds, colors, and characters, I really tried to make a good starter pack with as much new stuff as possible!

There’s no minifigure included in this polybag, which is a bit of an odd choice for introducing the theme. Bunchu and Z-Blob look interesting however. So from a parts perspective this choice is a lot better than a minifigure. And the designer really achieved what he set out to do.

But to be honest, I have no idea what’s happening in this little set. The significance of the spider is lost on me. It looks to be designed to carry a chair on it’s back. But since I haven’t watched the series I have no clue if it’s meant like that. And is the side build for Bunchu meant like a spider web or something completely different? For iconic movie scenes I get that sets are designed to closely resemble a specific scene. For a brand new LEGO in-house theme however, it’s a bit weird.

For this review I looked back at some LEGO Movie polybags and how important the story was for those. I think these were a lot more self-explanatory. So let’s just say this polybag targets a very specific audience: kids who watched or want to watch the series. I’m being a bit of a boomer here, but relying this much on digital content is not something I’m a fan of. More screen time is not something I want a children’s toy to promote.

Other than nitpicking about that, I can’t really fault this set. It’s a fun and easy build, has quite a few nice parts and getting Bunchu and Z-Blob is also nice. And hey, who doesn’t love free LEGO?

On the 2nd and 3rd August pop along to your local LEGO Store to build your very own mini Turtle Van inspired by the new LEGO DreamZzz theme launching 1st August.
