LEGO Marvel Super Heroes #6867 Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape Review

My favorite set, and I have to agree with the review that the off-roader is is awesome. We get two nice minifigs, Loki and Ironman, although many hated Loki due to the commonness which he appeared in three playset. Picture below taken from Bricks Review:

LEGO Star Wars #9499 Gungan Sub Review

Here's one of a good review with nice pictures and comparison with the previous Gungan Sub. Below is a picture taken from KielDaMan review:


Looking at Bricklink, Queen Amidala is very very pricey and getting the set seems to be one of a good option since it comes with two Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.

LEGO Architecture #21014 Villa Savoye

LEGO Ninjago #9561 Kai ZX Review

The last pictorial review from Bricks Review, #9561 Kai ZX. I'm pretty sure we can get him in quite a number of set, but that Dragon Sword used to be one rare part. This one is pretty worth buying.

IMG_4608

This one is worth buying since you are included with the Dragon Sword and the shoulder guard which you can only get in Ninjago. Cool one.

Image from Bricks Review.

LEGO Ninjago #9570 NRG Jay Review

The other one pictorial review among the three review posted last night by Bricks Review is on NRG Jay. The minifig looks so nice in the picture and the best part is, there are zero  part from that set are made in China.

IMG_4526

Great game for a child age 5 and above. But whether this spinner here works well or not, I don't know. But seems like arena is needed.

LEGO Ninjago #9572 NRG Cole Review

Last evening Bricks Review just updated the blog with new pictorial review, it was a rather small set and as shown on the title. . .

IMG_4605

Couldn't agree more about the price. The Ninjago spinner set is very well priced here. Just grab yours here and do not have to waste money importing them.

LEGO Minifigures Collectables Minifigures Series 8 Revealed

The eagerly awaited minifigures series 8 finally revealed and I can said it is very disappointing as most of the minifigs is either remake or you can get them from set.


There is a good and bad here, for those that does not collect based on theme get the chance to own at least a unique minifigs from that theme and for those repeated minifigs with new colour, the starters get to own them too, just different colours. The bad things, is the same old minifigs. . . 

Image via Brickset.

LEGO The Hobbits Bag Ends Revealed

This is the other set that was revealed in SDCC, but we are still not sure what playability does this set has, perhaps working light? This set seems to comes with a good amount of minifigs too.



Wonder how was the price range for this set. Looks interesting, just afraid of the crazy pricing by our local distributor. The Hobbits playset were set to be release on December.

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

An old post since 8th July, still I enjoy reading pictorial review. I would said that the set is very pricey here, but LOTR fans must them, it can't be help.


Is seems just like a layer and layer of wall. But LOTR sets have pretty good accessories of their own and hardly re-uses accessories from castle theme. To read the review from I Scream Clone in Eurobricks, kindly click on the link below the picture.

LEGO Super Heroes SDCC Exclusive Minifigs

Took this two cool pictures from FBTB, we all come to know about this two minifigs yesterday. Is great to own them but is sad to see the price that is sky high pretty much hurts.


I suppose the fans of Super Heroes knows both of these characters pretty well, Phoenix and Bizarro. Also been revealed today is Venom and Shazam.

Can take a look at the picture of Black Spiderman and Shazam at Brickset.

LEGO Star Wars Rancor Pit Image

This was one of the next year LEGO Star Wars set that will be release next year and has been revealed in the SDCC. Picture is as shown below:
Rancor Pit

Ok, seems like Jabba Palace is like the modular kind of set again and is extendable again, no reason to skip Jabba Palace now. Looking at the Rancor, looks cool and scary here. Pretty detailed one I would say. Wonder if there are more extension that will come after this.

Applause to those that got cheated by unethical seller, claiming the old rock monster as Rancor.

LEGO Star Wars SDCC Exclusive Darth Maul's Mini Sith Infiltrator Review

Also found something from FBTB, this year LEGO Star Wars SDCC exclusive that comes with the shirtless Darth Maul. Nice packaging, especially the can but at a premium price.


Not a new Darth Maul, looking at the content picture from FBTB, seems like they just throw in the exclusive Darth Maul minifigures pack in it.

Click on the link below the picture to read the review and for more pictures. . .

New LEGO Star Wars Clock

Found these two new pictures from FBTB and now the hype has been switch to SDCC especially the exclusive minifigs from Super Heroes theme. Anyway, below are the new LEGO Star Wars clock:


Is not really a new news anymore but just in case anyone do not know of them, like me can know about it. Any fans for this two brothers probably might want to snap up one each.

Malaysia LEGO Star Wars Price

As first I thought the pricing of this theme gets better, but I thought wrong. The price for the second wave of LEGO Star Wars soar again and is not getting any better. Still crazy prices.

#9496 Desert Skiff™
Price: RM169.90

#9497 Republic Striker-class Starfighter™
Price: RM279.90

#9498 Saesee Tiin's Jedi Starfighter™
Price: RM229.90

#9499 Gungan Sub™
Price: RM399.90

#9500 Sith™ Fury-class Interceptor™
Price: RM579.90

#9515 The Malevolence™
Price: RM689.90

#9516 Jabba's Palace™
Price: RM819.90

The price of the planet set still maintains at RM50 each, but looking at the price listed on top of  this line, it seems like they are still expensive and anyone can hardly afford them. Perhaps I should start to change hobby.

Malaysia LEGO City Mining Set Price

Not sure if only four Mining (subtheme of City) playset were released here in Malaysia. Below are the retail price that you can find in the market.

#4200 Mining 4x4
Pieces: 102
Price: RM54.90

#4201 Loader and Tipper
Pieces: 139
Price: RM79.90





#4203 Excavator Transport
Pieces: 305
Price: RM199.90






#4204 The Mine
Pieces: 748
Price: RM469.90









What do you guys think about the price, reasonable or not? Are you still expecting the price to get lower when LEGOLand Malaysia is launch? Hard to tell, but speculation is just useless now. Time will tell.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes #6873 Spider-man's Doc Oc Ambush Picture

For those that bought Avengers playset, probably already saw the minifigs in the comic book. A month or two ago we saw the box art but is very blur and now we have a clear picture on the set.

#6873 Spider-man's Doc Oc Ambush

This set a little resemble Hulk Helicarrier Escape with lesser minifigs. The price should be lower too huh?

LEGO Star Wars #9498 Saesee Tiin's Jedi Starfighter Review

Another Jedi Starfighter been released, so another one to collect. Not sure if the fans ever get bored with the Jedi Starfighter, but is quite fun to collect them just that all of their design are slightly different than each other.

9498 Saesee Tiin's Jedi Starfighter

9498 Saesee Tiin's Jedi Starfighter

Droids are still droids and the only different are the color. However, a new Jedi been released and another additional Jedi to be added into your Jedi collection. Even Piell looks quite detailed.

LEGO Star Wars #9497 Republic Striker-class Starfighter Review

Been busy and outgoing lately, so got no time to update the blogs. Anyway, here's a review made by Brickset on the new LEGO Star Wars set:

9497 Republic Striker Class Starfighter

The good thing on this set is that they are all printed parts and no stickers. As for the minifigs, their outfit looks nice, but not the droid.

LEGO DC Super Heroes #6858 Catwoman Catcycle City Chase Review

Here's a review on no longer so new set from Bricks Review, the Catwoman Catcycle City Chase. Below is the picture taken from the review:

IMG_0926

A good chance to get Catwoman, otherwise you have to pay quite a hefty price for the old Batman set. People who accepts any Batman character can buy this set since it is in an affordable range.

Link to the review is right below the picture.
