LEGO Star Wars #75021 Republic Gunship Review

Here's a chance for those that missed out the previous release of Republic Gunship that was released back in year 2008 without the need to pay a premium on it. Below image is taken from Brickset:

Review: 75021 Republic Gunship

For those that have not gotten any gunship, is not too late, and this gunship looks good, just that it is from Episode II instead of Clone Wars. The set comes with new characters except the old boring Super Battle Droid. I still prefer Clone Wars version over this but I might get this new one as well.

LEGO Star Wars #75017 Duel on Geonosis Review

This new LEGO Star Wars is really something, is all about the parts scattering around to build some scene for Yoda to fight with Dooku. The all new minifigs was included in this set, I bet the predicted cannot sell well without the new minifigs. Picture below is taken from Brickset:

75017 Duel on Geonosis

The playset is definitely suitable for kids, while the minifigs is something very suitable for the AFOL. I think the reason I am going to get the set are for the minifigs, and not the parts. It might be a waste to purchase all the minifigs separately since I think these minifigs are not cheap.

LEGO Star Wars #75015 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid Review

Other than MTT and AT-AT this is one of the tank like droid that I like. I have not really owned this set yet but the main attraction in this set is pretty much the Jango Fett minifigs which have not make appearance in LEGO playset for 11 years. Image below are taken from Brickset review:

75015 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid

According to the review the new tank droid is bigger compare to the one of Clone Wars version. If you are building droid army, you might want to snap a couple of this set and you will have a lot of Jango Fett. But hey, this is a good set to get the wheel tread.

LEGO Lord of the Rings #10237 The Tower of Orthanc Review

Here's the review of the tallest LEGO LOTR structure for the time being from Rufus in Eurobricks. Below is a picture taken from his review:


This tall set have a lot of interior hidden behind the structure, and I guess there is where all the playability are. The tower is impressive, however, displaying this set is really a challenge, where and how to keep it dust free especially. I believe all of the LOTR fans are getting a copy of this while for the local, it pretty much depends on the budget to afford a set like this.

LEGO #40057 Fall Scene

Now that we have summer scene (IMO it was the most expensive) and spring scene (which was the most worth it at the moment), next one coming are pretty much Fall Scene. Below is the picture taken from Brickset:


Comes with three minifigs, and a lot of small tooth like pieces in various colour that symbolize the fall scene. I skip summer scene since it is not that worth getting while the springtime scene was the most favorable set at the time being.

LEGO Creator #40078 Hot Dog Stand

Not something new to tell about but this upcoming polybag, maybe already released in some places, just attracts me. The hot dog stand do seems bigger and this time it comes with two minifigs and a bicycle. Way better than the impulse set, but the price are way "better" too. Image below is taken from Brickset:


I think this polybag can be easily blend with you City or even Palace Cinema with some guy selling hot dog outside the cinema.

LEGO City #60020 Cargo Truck Review

I am definitely not a LEGO City fans, not because of the design or playability are bad, but instead are the design of the vehicle that are getting better each year and most dangerously, any single theme can be blend into it with your imagination. Below is a picture of the cargo truck taken from Brickset review:

60020 Cargo Truck

I have a feeling that the size of the cargo truck shrink. But the design are still great and the playability are still there. The design of the forklift looks nice as well, and is definitely to like about from this playset. I do love some of the playset from City theme, but due to the fact that so many theme and so many nice playset comes out all at once, there are just not enough resource to cope up with this crazy collection. Sometimes I do envy on the people that can focus on one theme.
