LEGO Minifigures Gift Set

I thought I'm a happy man to have the Target LEGO Minifigures Gift Set to reach me safely from all the way from the United States. A week or two passed and now there is another one that is being upoaded on Taobao.

If you asked me who is Lightning Lad, I seriously have no idea. I only know super heroes and their villain through LEGO playset. But another one to be added into collection and it will be a good news if this is easily accessible to the public. 

Kai on the other hand seems like the other version from reboot version, somehow the print gave me this feeling that was a reboot print. And well City comes out with a diver which may be from Exploration theme while I have no idea who on earth is that from Legends of Chima, some say is Sir Fangar.

Target's LEGO Minifigures Gift Set

This might be an old news but this set here contains three great minifigures. This is sold separately in Target at $15 or get it for free by spending $50 on LEGO products.

I managed to get mine at MYR100 off Bricklink, I guess this is the best deal I'm able to find so far with the Ringgit continues to weakens. Not sure if these minifigures will be release in the future set but I think is best just to get one set to keep although I do not like the Swamp Police minifigs.

LEGO City #60057 Camper Van Review

Here's another old article, a review posted on Eurobricks a week ago. This set is supposed to be release in next year but usually some set get to release early somewhere and the lucky one might just able to grab it and make a review of it. Below is the picture taken from Rufus's review:

#60057 Camper Van Review

The design of this van looks good and you have compartments on the top to keep the accessories. There are some interior too although a bit crowded and you can add a TV in it with the sticker provided. I like the looks of it but I have to skip it unless I have extra funds. For City fans or parents looking for playset for children, buy this, easy to build and have some playability in it. 

There seems no end to City vehicles and they get better with each release which put your previous version outdated. With the improvement you will have more to play with other than the sleek design. But I guess there is no escaping for city builder, there is always old cars running on the road right?

LEGO City #60012 4x4 & Diving Boat Review

I do have a previous version that looks something like this, just that it comes with a lesser minifigs and a watercraft instead of diving boat. Below picture is taken from review posted on Brickset:

#60012 4x4 & Diving Boat Review

If you were to ask me whether I like the set or not I would said yes, but due to limited funds, sometimes we need to decide wisely. Lately LEGO is making a good progress in releasing a good playset and a lot of great theme as well. If you have the budget is no hurt to get on of this to add into your city.

LEGO City #60011 Surfer Rescue Review

The Coast Guard is back again, so for those that missed the previous release and are thinking to add them into your City, here's the chance. Below is a picture taken from Brickset's review on the smallest Coast Guard set, #60011 Surfer Rescue:

#60011 Surfer Rescue Review

Frankly speaking, this set is a good set as it comes with 2 minifigs, a surfing board and a shark which I think we can hardly get back in past few years. It falls below 30MYR here in the local market, and I think the price is very good here if were to compare to the price of the current collectable minifigures series.

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 Review

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.

Upcoming LEGO City Images

Here's some upcoming LEGO City pictures from Whung, which I think is good too. Maybe two out of the four pictures might interest you. Below is the picture taken via Eurobricks:

 #60015 Coast Guard Plane

 #60026 Town Square

 #60025 Grand Prix Truck

#60027 Monster Truck Transporter

I think some of us might be into #60025 Grand Prix Truck and #60026 Town Square. However, the picture of the grand prix truck seems not so right to me, the truck seems small. On the other hand #60026 Town Square seems will be a set high in demand with all the things included inside it. It seems worth buying.

New LEGO City Minifigs Pack

I know my news come a few days later when people found them and indeed is pretty much outdated news but I still need to update it. The minifigure pack seems to be a very good set to add more fireman and policeman into your city that are full of criminal and fires.

#850617

#850618

This is are the numbers tha Brickset given to both of this set. Is cool to be able to afford to those minifigs without buying a set that cost you a lot. But the quality, whether or not it is the same with the one in the set or it is slightly lower, only those that bought it can tell. For display or child play this would be a wise choice.

LEGO City #60018 Cement Mixer Review

Brickset uploaded a new review on the page today, though not much of the pictures, but the pictures over there pretty much said it all about the playability. Short and brief but informative enough for you to evaluate the set yourself.

#60018 Cement Mixer Review

What I like is that the cement mixer is getting more accurate than before which is an improvement I would say.  Though I do not collect City line, but I like the rear of the cement mixer very much with all the chute added (there are no such thing in the previous release). Now it looks more like a real cement mixer.

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 City Mining Pictures

Not much of a new news lately, and Brickset have uploaded the picture of the three upcoming new LEGO City set, the mining subtheme.

#4202 Mining Truck

#4203 Excavator Transporter

#4204 The Mine

Finally a mining truck. The mining truck and the mine looks good. But you also need some transporter to transport this mean machines. I think is cool to add more new things to the city of your own in order to expand them.

LEGO City #4205 Off-Road Command Centre Picture

At last, we get to see how the Off-Road Command Centre looks like. Grogall, have put up a hi-res picture in Brickshelf and Eurobricks and the box art sure looks funny.

#4205 Off-Road Command Centre

Although I wish for medic gang to be back but the forest police set is interesting too. We get a few new parts and even bear from this forest police subtheme. Pretty cool eh?

LEGO City #7279 Police Minifigure Collection Review

Here's the other review that was posted yesterday at Bricks Review, a small set from the City theme which comes with a lot of minifigures, especially the police and the baddies.

#7279 Police Minifigure Collection Review

Not really a City fans but I think is worth buying too since there are four minifigs in the set since people might be selling the minifigs separately at a higher price.
