LEGO Creator #7346 Seaside House Review

I might miss this review out when updating my blog back then. Is nothing new to be spoke about right now, but is still a good review that one should not miss. Picture below is taken from Pandora's review in Eurobricks:


Perhaps you can expand this house by buying a few of this set. Looks really good though, but the house is small. Overall, is still looks good for display.

LEGO Star Wars #7667 Imperial Dropship Review

Here's a set back in 2008, a good set to build your Imperial Army even now.

Is still a nice set even until now, a bit classic feeling here and a shiny Shadow Trooper really looks attractive. To view the review, kindly click on the link below the picture.

LEGO Star Wars #9491 Geonosian Cannon Review

Compare to the #9490 Droid Escape, this set is not so demanded by many. But LG is smart enough to add in a new commander and a zombie Geonosian in the set, otherwise this set would be as crappy as the Geonosian Starfighter.

IMG_1125

Four seems like a good number of minifigs that is been provided. Is pricey here but is definitely cheap in other country like the United States. Click on the link below the picture to read the review.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes #6869 Quinjet Aerial Battle Review

The picture that is been posted by FBTB really attract my attention. Although this is nothing new to write about, but I think referring a few review before you get the set would be great (and also to get yourself poison into this theme). Image below is taken from FBTB:

6869 Quinjet Aerial Battle

I'm so gonna get one of this, ad get a few more if budgets allow. Really a nice set.

LEGO LOTR #9470 Gandalf Arrives Mini Review

Is surprising to see the price tag that is placed on LEGO Lord of the Rings playset, but is definitely a very popular theme and the first theme to introduce the new horse. Here's a picture taken from Brickset on the mini review they made on the theme smallest set:

9470 Gandalf Arrives

We get only two minifigures in here, and I suppose the new mold for the horse are expensive so do the licensing fee. For those that are into this theme, is time to start scouting them.

Team Great Britain will have their own Olympic LEGO minifigs. They will be on sales starting on 1st July. Image below is taken via Brickset:

LEGO LOTR #9474 The Battle of Helm's Deep Mini Review

I can foresee that this set will cost us a fortune in our local market, which I hope that I am wrong. Below picture is taken from Brickset:

9474: The Battle of Helm's Deep

All I see here are two pieces of wall and a tower and at that ridiculously expensive price even in the United States. Probably the licensing fee is too expensive.

Image from Brickset.

LEGO LOTR #9472 Attack on Weathertop Mini Review

LEGO Lord of the Rings is now on LEGOShop@Home in the States and Canada and their price is very much pricey. Anyway, here's another review from Brickset:

9472 Attack on Weathertop

Is a high bounty to pay in order to get the Ringwraith, I think is best I go for Avengers.  For larger image, please click on the picture, while click on the link below to the review.

LEGO Monster Fighters Polybag

So here's the first picture of the polybag set from LEGO Monster Fighters. Below is the image taken from Brickset:


My opinion this is one great set. The clock is just nice to be use as the interior of the LEGO houses. Chaining the ghost to the ball seems creative too.

LEGO LOTR #9671 Uruk-hai Army Mini Review

Now, this is a a good set to build your Uruk-hai army and I suppose this set will be the best selling among all the other since it got a good amount of minifigs. Image below is taken from Brickset:

9471 Urak-Hai Army

Not only this set comes with great amount of Uruk-hai army but it can help extend the wall of Helm's Deep. Is an expensive year I would say. Link to the review is right below the picture.

LEGO LOTR #9476 The Orc Forge Mini Review

Firstly, the set is not yet been released but instead this is the set auction off during the AFOLCON. Below is the picture taken from the review made in Brickset:

9476 The Orc Forge

The only thing that attracts me in this set is only the armor and headgear with the printing. Link to the review is right below the picture while the pictures link to Flickr.

The good news,  #10223 Kingdom Joust already reach our shore. Below is the picture for your reference:


The retail is at RM599.90, you might be able to get 10% off from some store. I'm not sure if this is cheap or expensive but if you think logically is still pricey. Just because our distributor jack up the price of most of the set, especially the license theme, now it makes us feel that the set is within the affordable range.

Vader from Brickhorizon has made a review on the exclusive Hulk minifigs. The minifigs looks pretty good although the leg are printed only on front but not the side of the leg as well. Below is the image taken from Brickhorizon:


Link to the review is right below the picture. LEGO should have made this promo a worldwide but too bad is only on the selected countries.

LEGO Batman Visual Disctionary

Another old news regarding Batman Visual Dictionary.The exclusive minifigs that comes with the book is already revealed, however the picture is a little small. The picture below is taken from DK Books website:


To take a peek at the book kindly visit HERE. Seriously got no idea how thick this book can be because there are not much set from Batman and the timeline are somewhat short for the past release.

LEGO Star Wars TC-14 Mini Review on Brickset

First up, an old news. Another exclusive chrome minifigs from LEGO Star Wars universe but it seems like the torso got scratches just like the minifigure series.  Is disappointing to see that the quality is low, but for those who get it for free, I guess there will be no complain.

TC-14

For those that have to pay for it you might want to think twice but for hardcore fans, I think is just not right to miss this exclusive minifigs.

Upcoming LEGO Friends Revealed

Despite so much critics, I believe this theme do sell very well, now even the guys bought it to get the colourful parts that we hardly found in normal playset. I suppose this theme is the most successful girls theme. Anyway, below is a picture taken from Brickset:

#3185 Riding Camp

Is not a new news as this one has been posted on Brickset a few days ago. But I believe we all are pretty eager to see what new set are coming from LEGO.

Image from Brickset.

More LEGO Star Wars Summer Wave Pictures

I felt that I somewhat lost interest with Star Wars for now as the new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is a pretty hot item right now. With limited resources, I just have to plan wisely. Anyway, Jabba's Palace is a good set to pull you back on track.

 #9516 Jabba's Palace

If you are looking for more pictures, including Series 2 Planet sets, just head on to Brickset. They are very much updated now with a picture that is legitimate and viewable.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Polybag

I'm not sure whether these polybag can bring down the price of those minifigs, but is definitely a piece of good news for those lucky people that can get them, unlike here in our country.


I suppose the pictures are taken from the instructions, they seems pretty blur but viewable and know exactly what that polybag comes with. Is a great way to get Thor without ripping off your wallet.

LEGO Creator #7346 Seaside House

The coming Creator #7346 Seaside House looks pretty good and is already been revealed in Brickset. Although the picture are not so detailed yet, but is very much big and clear:

#7346 Seaside House

Seems cool although is a pretty small house, but I'm sure you can expand this house adding another set into it. I believe people will buy it, after all Creator house looks good all this while.
