If you get this set, you might want to pick up an extra sticker-sheet from BrickLink for the time when the originals deteriorate.Īfter those two initial disappointments, it’s time to start building! The included pieces come in three unnumbered bags. They just won’t last as long as printed pieces would. Having said that, the stickers are good quality, and if you manage to apply them straight, they look fine. For an expensive exclusive like this, using stickers is a major letdown that should not be happening. Although I much prefer printed pieces in general, I do understand why LEGO opts for stickers in regular LEGO sets, even if I don’t like it. The second issue is even more disappointing all three of the decorated pieces (two on the shoulders and one on the stand) are stickers. A better quality box, a specially shaped box, or one of those awesome round metal cans or plastic boxes with lids LEGO used to use in the past would have been a much more appropriate choice. I opened it along the seams with the hope of saving the box, but it is so flimsy, I will likely just throw it away.
The cardboard is too thin, and if you open it via the thumb tab, it is basically destroyed. One is that I was expecting better quality packaging for an exclusive, especially for the price. The back of the box shows Bastion in shooting pose, and “Blizzard Exclusive” prominently printed on the left-hand side. The front of the box features Bastion with Cardinal on its shoulder, displayed on a small brick-built stand with a special logo declaring that this set is a “LEGO Blizzard Exclusive”. The #75987 LEGO Overwatch Omnic Bastion is packaged in a regular, flimsy type of LEGO box with a thumb tab to open it. In my case, I ordered one set, and shipping was a bit over $6). Despite the price, I went for it, as I love orange robots, and I rarely spend money on exclusives.

(Blizzard offers free shipping on orders over $100, otherwise you have to pay for it yourself. For a regular LEGO set that’s expensive, and even more so when shipping is added. The Blizzard-exclusive #75987 LEGO Overwatch Bastion set includes 182 pieces for a price of $25. Tsang even joined the LEGO design team in Denmark to assist with packaging-design and model approval. The set was designed by LEGO designers Woon Tze and Raphaël (pictured below), who took inspiration directly from the art and designs of Arnold Tsang, the assistant art director for Overwatch and concept artist behind Bastion. The #75987 LEGO Overwatch Omnic Bastion set includes both Bastion and Cardinal (Ganymede’s name in this skin) in an exclusive Omnic skin. Through their friendship, Bastion was able to break its original programming and set out to explore its surroundings to discover its new purpose. 🙂īastion is a fan-favorite hero with a rich storyline, including its friendship with a bird named Ganymede. I was one of those fans, and purchased it as soon as it was announced, received it five days later, and immediately built it. For LEGO fans who have been looking forward to the LEGO Overwatch collection, this little set was received with great excitement. The #75987 LEGO Overwatch Omnic Bastion set can be purchased from the Blizzard gear store, or at BlizzCon 2018 held November 2-3 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. As we discussed about a week ago, the first LEGO Overwatch set became available as an exclusive through Blizzard Entertainment (the makers of the original game).
