The dark side of the brick

Excitingly, I've finally managed to escape London and get away for a few days. So, this morning, we packed the car with clothes, food, the wife's sewing machine, some books... and three lego sets that I deemed would survive transportation.  I've got to pace myself because these have to last me a week!   First out of the pile was the Boba Fett helmet ( 75277 ).  Weighing in at 625 parts, this is actually the simplest of the 2020 helmets.  However, it was a very satisfying build with plenty of interesting features.  Took me about an hour all told.     However, I'd like to raise two colour-related gripes: I really struggle to tell sand green apart from LBG in the instruction manuals, given my colour-defective vision Dark red is still coming in a really wide variety of colours and it's really obvious, even to me!

I forgot to post about this build a week or so ago... while I reported back in Jan that I'd built up all the Brickheadz barring the very limited Boba Fett and Han Solo in carbonite, I then discovered that I had the standalone Boba Fett ( 41629 ) hiding at the back of my pile of unbuilt sets. I generally like the Brickheadz sets - they're quick to build but satisfying and also quirky.  Apart from the fact that I struggled to tell the dark green and dark red apart in the light I have to build by and seemed to have a spare sand green piece where I was expecting a LBG, this was a fine build.  Some nice printed pieces too, which I always like.
