LEGO Legends of Chima #70102 Speedorz Leonidas Review

I started to get interested with this new theme after reading through one after another review made by those lucky people. Below is a picture taken from I Scream Clone's review on Eurobricks:


Guess it pretty much explain why the Speedorz set are more expensive than the Ninjago Spinner set. The Speedorz set comes with some parts and something else to build and well of course the whole thing is bigger and the seal seems to improved as well. The only downside, not as easy as the Ninjago theme to get the minifigs, since Speedorz are more expensive.

LEGO Legends of Chima #70100 Ring of Fire Review

Here's another review on LEGO Legends of Chima Speedorz playset by WhiteFang. Below is a picture taken from his review on Eurobricks:


Seems like different set have different ways of playing the game. I'm too lazy to go and understand the game at the moment and am quite curious how this Speedorz thing able to move while the minifigs are sitting at the back of it and dragging the Speedorz on the floor.

LEGO Legends of Chima #70003 Eris' Eagle Interceptor Review

Pictorial review of the 2013 sets start going on the web now and we get to see what's good and bad about the set. Here's another review on the new theme that are coming our way in Eurobricks:


The new theme do comes with some new parts which you might find it useful for your own MOC later on. The Eagle Interceptor seems to have some playability although we still have the flick-fire missiles as one of the playability and you can see the eagle shape in it.

Link below the picture will link to the review.

LEGO Exclusive #10232 Palace Cinema

Well, is not officially release yet and there is no prelim marks on it, but is not really right to post either. Anyway, below is the picture of this year modular:


The exterior again looks very well done, but lately I fell like the the modular house is getting smaller. But I cannot said anything yet because this are not the real models, but am eager to see how is the interior of this building. Hope it look just as great as the exterior.

LEGO Legends of Chima #70004 Wakz' Pack Tracker Review

Brickset posted a review on a playset for the new theme, Legends of Chima, and now I'm aware that the headgear are unique. Picture below taken from Brickset:

All Minifigs with Weapons

Now that TLG knows everyone is after their minifigs, they are releasing more and more unique minifigs to churn our money. But there is a nice design in the vehicle from the Chima universe where they implement the animal head onto the vehicle just like Ninjago.

Link to the review is below the picture.

LEGO TMNT #79101 Shredder's Dragon Bike Review

This review has been posted a week ago, but I just do not notice it until few days ago. I think I will only go after the minifigs from LEGO TMNT theme and not the playset. Picture below taken from Clone O'Patra's review in Eurobricks:


To be honest I'm not really a fans for TMNT, but the minifigs from LEGO looks good, except the vehicle which I cannot accept. I know the turtle cannot afford anything cool, but I still can't accept this kind of vehicle.

LEGO DC Super Heroes #10937 Batman: Arkham Asylum Breakout Review

Now now, this is something cool and a big awesome set that I myself wanted to own one, but there are many other which I have not bought it yet. Anyway, here's a more detailed review bombarded with more cool pictures from Clone O'Patra in Eurobricks:


Am really looking forward to own this set and not the to mention the other Super Heroes set that I have still not owned up until now. This set sure contains a lot of good parts and not to mention a nice building design made by the designer. So anyone going to get this after reading the review?

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes #30165 Hawkeye with Equipment Review

Another cool set that I think is worth mentioning and spending your money on, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes #30165 Hawkeye with Equipment. Here's a picture to seduce you to look for one:

IMG_2513

I suppose the fully armed Hawkeye is something that catch all of our attention and thanks to all the accessories, this set actually being scalp and is more expensive than any other set, while is also caused by the theme factor. Anyway, this is something nice to own, just my point of view and you can beg to differ. But seriously speaking, you can easily buy the parts separately and build your own rack.

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean #30133 Captain Jack Sparrow Review

LEGO Lord of the Rings #30210 Frodo's Cooking Corner Review

Here's another Lord of the Rings polybag set that is been reviewed yesterday by Bricks Review, Frodo's Cooking Corner, or whatever it is called. Below is a picture taken from Bricks Review:

IMG_2462

I'm sure many do not really like this set or even think of owning one especially those that already have Gandalf Arrive (#9469) playset since you will have the same minifigs from that set. After looking at the review this set was not bad at all and I think is a very good set for those of younger age.

LEGO Lord of the Rings #30211 Uruk-Hai with Ballista Review

New reviews though not new set has been posted on Bricks Review yesterday, and below is a picture taken from the review:

IMG_2484

I think this set sells very well in the other part of the world as they are cheap and affordable plus suitable for army building. However, the price here are not so good even if you check in Ebay or other site that sell it. The best set for army building is to source for cheap Uruk-hai Army playset here.

LEGO DC Super Heroes #76000 Arctic Batman vs. Mr. Freeze: Aquaman on Ice Review

Here's a review on Batman set posted by Oky on Eurobricks, and the set seems not bad at all, nice vehicle though smaller. Picture below taken from the review:

What can I said, I think the set looks pretty good and the price range should be the affordable one, I wish (for our local market). The new Batman looks good and so do the other two figs which all of them are considered as new minifigs which are not release before. The ski looks pretty good too, with a little playability that is.

LEGO Star Wars #75013 Umbaran MHC (Mobile Heavy Canon) Review

Got something to do when I was blogging halfway, so today I continue what is left unfinished. Here's another review from Moexy in Eurobricks:


Looks nice although is a little different from what is shown in the series so do the Umbaran soldier where the head are different. However, the MHC still resemble something that is shown in the series and then two great minifigs for the Republic.

LEGO Star Wars #75012 BARC Speeder with Sidecar Review

Clone Wars fans are shower with quite an amount of playset from LEGO next year, also, LEGO is finally bringing back the playset from Episode II. 


This BARC Speeder seems to be bigger compare to the one in Battle for Geonosis and Clone Troopers Battle Pack. Phase II Rex is well made and I assume a lot will be hunting for the Phase I Rex which is quite rare now. I think we can hardly get Phase I Rex now, since it no longer appear in Clone Wars.

LEGO Star Wars #75001 Republic Troopers vs. Sith Troopers Review

Here's another review on LEGO Star Wars 2013 playset made by Moexy in Eurobricks, #75001 Republic Troopers vs. Sith Troopers. Picture below is taken from Eurobricks:


The speeder are not bad actually though is a bit wider and the colour are a bit different. The minifigs are just awesome, with all the new cool looking minifigs, except one of the Sith Trooper which is not new but added with printed leg. This pretty much going to bring down the price of the Sith Trooper minifigs from Sith Fury Class Interceptor (#9500).

LEGO Star Wars #75000 Clone Troopers vs Droidekas Review

A lot of new set reviews are showing up on LEGO community page, and mordatre from Eurobricks posted a review on next year LEGO Star Wars battle pack:

10

Although this is a nice set, and nice droideka, but is no longer so east to build the army of Republic and it will be costly to do so. Now that Republic and Separatist join up in one battle pack building the Clone army will be a pain for us as the other two minifigs lot were either taken by battle droids or a pile of bricks

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes #76004 Spider-man: Spider-cycle Chase Review

I think I'm pretty late to update my blogs with the review, but since this is the new set and not yet available generally to the public, I guess is good to post them:


The great news is that this set is same tier with Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape (#6867) or so I heard from my friend. I do like the minifigs and is great to see that the vehicle can change mode. Let's see how much the distributor here going to sell this set, is either the price remain or higher. That is what I speculate.

LEGO Star Wars 2013 Minifigures Picture

I just can't wait for next year LEGO Star Wars set to be officially available to the public so that we can get all the awesome minifigs. Below are the pictures found via Hoth Bricks:

Captain Rex

A-wing pilot 

The above pictures are taken from ExoBrick's photostream in Flickr. The minifigs from the Star Wars theme is getting more and more detailed and now I feel like the old rebel pilot are not detailed enough. While below here, are some pictures of more cool minifigs from the Star Wars theme.



The battle pack Sith Trooper are more detailed compare to the one in the Sith Fury Class Interceptor which is unacceptable.  But they do looks nice and great job for adding more details into the minifigs. Anyway the two dude with space helmet are just unacceptable, is far way different than the actual character.

LEGO The Lone Ranger

Pictures of the upcoming LEGO The Lone Ranger playset is surfacing the the web now thanks to LEGO for letting them to make appearance in the consumer catalog.




I can only said the look superb. It's been a long time since we have western theme, a theme which is quite popular among the fans too. From the pictures, we have new horse (sorry all I focus is on the minifigs), and we two main character seems to be repeating in all of the set. All on all, they are just awesome.

LEGO Ninjago 2014

This is no longer a hot topic now as the news is here for a few hours already or maybe almost a day. But to all LEGO Ninjago fans, this is somewhat a great news.


And so, the Ninjago team will be back in 2014 after the a break in 2013. Anyway we still have some playset in 2013, so that will keep us company for awhile until they come back with more playset. Good news or bad news?

I think this is because there are too many new theme coming up and the machine is in their full capacity plus this is one hell of a popular theme.

LEGO Lord of the Rings #9472 Attack on Weathertop Review

One review has been posted so far in Bricks Review for this month. Though the review is not of any recent released playset, but still readable. Picture below is taken from Bricks Review:

IMG_5283

This set seems good and there is a good amount of minifigs included the two horse and not to forget the amount of accessories and the spare accessories provided to you. The Weathertop looks great as well, and the interior which have microfigs and torch makes the ruin looks more old.

LEGO Super Heroes #10937 Arkham Asylum Breakout Review

The largest set from the Batman universe are coming next year, this round the asylum is bigger and badder. Below picture is taken from Comunidade:


Is great to have a number of newly printed minifigs, though still same character in new look, but no Nightwing this round. However the building itself looks very good compare to the previous version but this one definitely gonna made a big hole in your pocket. Anyway this is something worth your penny.

LEGO #71000 Collectable Minifigures Series 9 Review

The wait is over, and yesterday all of the series 9 minifigs has been revealed. Thanks to the review on Eurobricks which is very well written. Image below is taken from the review:


The series 9 box set will only have two complete set and this round it is not easy to get three sets since you have to hunt for 6 different minfigs. The two sets, one for display, one to keep, the rest to trade or keep. The bright side, it is suitable for army building which most of the fans wanted. The sad side, now that they are only two complete sets, is hard for resellers to sell in set, and this might caused price to shot up for a complete set of minifigs.

LEGO The Hobbit #30212 Mirkwood Elf Guard Review

The Hobbit, a new theme from TLG, starting to show up and they do have polybag set as well. So far there are two that has been revealed like Gandalf set and this Elf Guard set. Here's a mini review posted on Brickset:

30212 Mirkwood Elf

I do see this set on Bricklink but I hesitated that time and is all gone now. Is the right time for you to build your elf army, but without the elf hair and ear but instead hood. The elf is fully equipped and it looks just great and been released at the right time.

Link to the review are below the picture.

LEGO The Hobbit #790004 Barrel Escape Mini Review

New sets starting to appear on the shelf and the lucky ones are able to snap them up right before Christmas and right before anyone from the other part of the world. Brickset have a made a review on #790004 Barrel Escape:

79004 Barrel Escape

79004 Barrel Escape

The set do comes with a few weapons and five minifigs, which is a lot I think. Though the set not that big or large but it definitely looks neat. LOTR fans definitely have to own them all, at least the minifigs.

LEGO Collectables Minifigures Series 9 Teaser

A few pictures leaked and shown to us especially the guy in chicken suit and the space orge but we have no idea what are the other 13 minifigs that are coming our way. However, on Monday LEGO release the pictures of the minifigs that are shot from their back on Facebook.


The above image summarize the figures that we are getting from Series 9 and hell yes quite a number of cool characters. You can drop by HERE to see their individual picture.

LEGO City #60009 Helicopter Arrest Picture

I do not recall I see the picture of this set before until few days ago I saw it on Eurobricks. Below is the picture of #60009 Helicopter Arrest taken via Eurobricks:

#60009 Helicopter Arrest

Though the hideout seems simple but I think that it looks interesting. We have a five minifigs and a dog which is the pros of the set and we do have those big chunk of parts that made the helicopter and the boat. Though City is back to fire fighter and police but I think the it is something that we can look forward to collect too.

Thanks to Grogall for the hi-res pics, you guys can found them in Brickshelf.

LEGO Star Wars #75014 Battle of Hoth Pictures

Finally something new and fresh to be view again. Here's a picture found via Hoth Bricks but I think original source is from Russian website. Anyway thanks to Hoth Bricks we get to see the picture:



Another Snowspeeder (not sure how many version has been released buy LEGO) with a quite a number of minifigs. So whoever that started to collect Hoth Echo Base and still keep it up to date and continue with all the Hoth set, he probably able to see the previous Snowspeeder.

More LEGO Star Wars 2013 Pictures

LEGO Star Wars 2013 is no longer a surprise for us as we have already seen most of the wave 1 set (who knows there are some exclusive that are not reveal). Anyway, the two pictures below is found via Hoth Bricks:



The AT-RT is oversize again but this is the only way to add as much details into ti as possible. It looks as cool as before and maybe cooler compare to the Clone Walker that is released back in 2005. On the other hand, we finally get a new kind of pilot, but hopefully more variation to come, and Pong Krell seems not too tall which  the size is just right. But he sure have a long torso.

LEGO Galaxy Squad Playset Pictures

Finally a person bought a set from the new Galaxy Squad theme and at the back of the instruction book, the playset for this theme finally revealed. Below is a picture taken from Cupishalfempty's photostream:


Not all seems nice, but the two bugs machine really resemble the bugs themselves. The two set, #70704 and #70705 really caught my attention. Looks pretty cool at the moment as the human faction machines able to change mode while the the bug faction have the new pod. Interesting theme.

Should have left one more set that are not reveal yet.

LEGO Lord of the Rings #9470 Shelob Attacks Review

Here's another review that is been posted yesterday in Bricks Review, and though the set been released quite sometimes ago but it might still be useful for those that are waiting for grate deals on the set. Picture below is taken from the review:

IMG_6237

Gollum used to be only appear in this very set, but now it seems like he is appearing in the smallest set of The Hobbit. But this is the still the only set to get Samwise Gamgee and to have additional two rings are really a bonus since it is quite pricey in the market.

LEGO Lord of the Rings #9469 Gandalf Arrives Review

LEGO Galaxy Squad

Galaxy Squad the new space theme next year finally revealed two of the sets. Well, I suppose the pictures are taken somewhere in the United States, since there is a part counts printed on the box. Anyway, I found this two pictures from a Korean community, BrickInside:



I like they way the design the vehicle and we have new trans-neon parts. Looking at the two pictures, the vehicles seems pretty cool. There seems to be a new minifigs too, which I suspect is robot or cyborg but one strange thing, if the human are in orange and white, why is there a blue cyborg there. Looking forward to look at all the playset though.

LEGO Creator #10233 Horizon Express Review

LEGO The Hobbit #30212 Mirkwood Elf Guard Polybag

Something new surface again, and according to Brickset, this minifig do not appear in any of The Hobbit playset (yet). I think this will cost you something in the aftermarket for sure.

#30212 Mirkwood Elf Guard

Anyone think of army building again? Might be a good chance to grab your army. A good set that I would not want to miss if I have a chance to grab hold of it at a reasonable price.

LEGO Exclusive #3300014

This is one cool exclusive Christmas set that comes with four minifigs. Anyway, this is something rare I suppose and those in other part of the world can only source from other country.

#3300014

A great set to owned doesn't it. I suppose this set can blend into your Christmas collection set very well, those bakery, toy shop and post office. Would be great to able owned them all.
