Review - Superman build-in-store event in LEGO brand stores

[CopMike]

The Super Heroes are really popular and something that TLG is pushing hard for. Last month there was an build-in-store event in the Lego brand stores and here´s a short review of this set.

Set Information

Name:

Superman

Number:

Superman-1

Theme:

Super Heroes

Release:

2013

Parts:

40 + sticker

Price:

Free

The Instructions

The instructions are three pages. The stores usually keep them and no one walks out with them. Here´s pictures of them:

The Parts

No special parts at all. The most "fun" on imo is the Slope 45 2 x 1 with 2/3 Cutout in red. It´s been in 15 other sets though.

The sticker sheet

It´s a small one - only 23 mm x 8 mm. No part number attached, it seems to have been on a roll and then just ripped loose one by one.

The build

It´s an easy straight forward build in 14 steps. You´ve already seen it in the instructions above but I did take some pictures of my build so here you go:

And finished:

As you might notice the sticker is just a bit to wide for the 1x3 brick. But that´s makes it easy to move if you´ve applied it a bit of center!

The model is simple and nice but I think Supermans silhouette from the side isn´t the most flattering !

The set could be brought home in a classic Lego plastic bag size 1 and you also got a small card with it:

Conclusion

It´s has a cartoonic look and it´s quite simple but I like it. And it was given out for free for the lucky ones!

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed the review. Now go and build one yourself with parts from your vault !

Wow! A super looking guy and a super review! (Won't ask if you had to look and act 14 or under to participate in this build. They require that in the US, and I have looked high and low for a kid that age whom I could rent for an hour to get these store builds....to no avail!)

These monthly builds draw huge crowds in our small LEGO store, so I avoid that time of the month by staying away. Yesterday there was a really cute 6 year old Superman dressed kid in the store...complete with mask and booties. He was adorable...should have taken his photo while he was looking at the Superman sets. Maybe the store should give you a ten percent discount when wearing a costume of the theme you are buying? Boy, would that draw the weirdo adults out of their caves around here! I would even manage to find a Friends or Duplo costume.....maybe the store could just sell costumes (in adult sizes) to match the figures. (They have done that quite successfully at the American Girl Doll stores and in their catalogs.)

Imagine how many boys want to look like Superman....woooohooo for us ladies!
