LEGO Creator #10246 Detective's Office Review

A lot of my friends and fans of LEGO are looking forward for this set to hit our shore here. Before the set reaches here, well here's something to feast our eyes. Below image is taken from Eurobricks member, Oky's review: 

#10246 Detective's Office Review

The interior of this set seems pretty crowded but still there are greatly design with some playability. I have no idea who is the baddies but there are some secret compartment to play with. It definitely made a great addition to our modular collection. That said, there is some catch up for me to do on the previous launches of modular house. Sigh*

LEGO Creator #10243 Parisian Restaurant Review

New year coming so do the new modular house. Here's a review on next year modular house by dj2005 in Eurobricks and below picture is taken from the review:

#10243 Parisian Restaurant Review

I have a couple of friends that are waiting for this set to be release and I guess most of them in my contact are waiting for this to be released. I do not own this set yet and I cannot talk much about it but judging from the picture when it was announced, it seems to be smaller but does not means it sucks. Design wise it looks really good and you have both nicely design interior and exterior. Another bonus would be the new scooter which some prefer customs.

For those that have started modular house collection, I guess there is no escape, all it need is just one set and you are done for good (like me). While for those that have not started and are into such great design of building by LEGO, this is the time.

Here's the details of the set (announced in Oct):

Have an unforgettable evening at the amazing Parisian Restaurant!

It’s very busy in the Parisian Restaurant. As a scooter zips by, inside the waiter rushes between the tables as the nervous young man gets ready to propose with the ring! It’s just as hectic behind the scenes, with the chef busily preparing the food. This beautifully detailed building is the setting for so many stories and is a great addition to the modular building series. The Parisian Restaurant has a fully-stocked, blue and white tiled kitchen with tableware as well as a cozy apartment with pull-down bed, kitchenette and fireplace. On the top floor is the artist’s room with a studio that includes a cast iron heater, easel, paintbrush and two works of art by the aspiring artist.

This amazing Parisian Restaurant model even includes a facade with croissants, clams and feather details that recapture the feel of Paris.

LEGO Exclusive LEGO The Movie Playset

Well, 17 playsets will be released in conjunction with the release of LEGO The Movie. That definitely gonna hurts our pocket, but depending on how nice the playset it is. Below is a picture taken via Brickset:

I do see a couple of new pieces in the picture, for police fans, I notice the new visor that looks really interesting. Seems like a night vision goggle which will be useful to your police team. Currently only this set were shown, I wonder what are the other 16 set.

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 Creator - August

I am not really into Creator theme myself, other than the house which manage to attract my attention but I  am always out of budget to owned one. Just cannot afford them. Anyway, the price of Creator set starting to get attractive here and is a good buy for your child I think.

#31010 Treehouse

$29.99 USD

356 pieces

#31012 Family House

$69.99 USD

756 pieces

This theme gets better every year although come and go are automobile, aircraft and houses, but this year they made some mecha to fill the needs of those mecha fans or maybe to compete with their competitor that releases Transformers in bricks. Although the head are not as cool as those of Transformers, but the designer did a pretty a good job. Up to date, the Creator theme now comes with more variety of color. Back to the post, the two new sets above sure attract my attention but not the other so I just posted both of this.

For locals, regarding the price that gets better, it is just for the current release, I'm not sure how much these houses will cost here, and the price might again goes up during the release.

LEGO Creator #31008 Thunder Wings Review

Another review has been posted on Brickset today. ince my main focus is on the minifigs, this theme are not my focus but color wise and part wise seems tempting.

#31008 Thunder Wings Review

From what I heard, if you are looking for parts or MOCer, Creator theme is always the best choice as the theme provide you with good amount of bricks other than cool useful part. So in average the parts will not cost you much of your money and you can have the pleasure to build anything you want and definitely useful for kids whereby their creativity are not bounded by play theme.

LEGO Creator #10232 Palace Cinema Picture

Due to the very busy schedule of mine, I have missed some pretty cool news that are surfacing the community and even the website. Here's an update that is quite outdated for now.

#10232 Palace Cinema

We all are dying to see the interior when we first saw the picture, and not long after that we get to see the interior of this modular. I would not say I'm impress with the interior but rather disappointed but the exterior is something to be like about. So we do need fork out some creativity to expand this cinema and renovate the interior that meet our expectation. That is what LEGO for I think.

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 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:

LEGO Creator #5767 Cool Cruiser Review

I believe this set were released not long ago and Creator again have new cars in the line. Eurobricks already got the review of this set up and it can be a useful references.

#5767 Cool Cruiser Review

The collectors of Creator cars might want to add this one into their collection for the sake of completion perhaps? I think Creator theme is suitable for kids somehow since they can dismantle and build other model from the same set.
