Star Wars MOC

I found something interesting today while browsing through Brickshelf. Not sure whether is my internet connection problem in the past few days or Brickshelf is down, since I can't visit the site as some folder can't be viewed.

Anyway, here's an interesting Star Wars MOC of Droideka nad Tank Droid from XJ's Brickshelf folder although they are mini in size.

I like the Droideka very much, since it can turn into the round shape. While here's the small tank droid which again size does not matter:

LEGO CITY 2010

Here's some pictures of coming LEGO City. They are focusing on fire station and trasportation. Also there will be farm set with new animal figure, pig.


There are some improvement made for fire department theme. I like the new boat, it just looks great. On the other hand, we have new air port with control tower.

LEGO Indiana Jones #7195 Ambush in Cairo Review

Doing another review for fun. =D

Details:
Theme: Indiana Jones (Classic)
Name : Ambush in Cairo Review
S/N : #7195
Year : 2009
Pieces : 79
Minifig : 4
Price : RM92.90, SGD29.90, USD10.99, GBP9.79

The theme of the box art do not change ever since this theme is launch but the size of the box is getting smaller compare to the two previous set. The front of the box art is show us the thing we are getting after assembling all the bricks with some added background while the side shows us the minifigs we are getting together with their name. At the back is just another shot of the set with small advertisement of #7199 Temple of Doom and the Indiana Jones game.

Inside the box, we found ourselves with 2 packs of bricks and an instruction booklet. The instruction booklet do not include us some basic knowledge of assembling LEGO anymore but straight to assembling minifigs process. As usual we got building steps and brick checklist together with some summer Indiana Jones set advertisement.

This set include us a lot of minifig's accessories as well. We got guns, apples, plate, pan, sword and whip. Consider it not bad though. Extra handgun are not included here.


We got four minifigs from this set which is much better compare to the two small Indiana Jones set in the previous release where we got only three minifigs. Both Indy and Marion got new outfit and I'm glad that the turban and ninja headgear is back.
As usual Marion got two expression and under the ninja headgear is the Grail Guardian minifigs head. Those thug from Cairo have darker skin tone too.

While here's the small little stall together with the cart. They looks so simple and it probably took you five minutes to complete everything. But luckily, there are plenty of accessories provided so it is still worth getting.

And here's the two little extra parts left for us.

While here's the shot of completion:

Playability: 5/10 Just the cart with moving wheel function and the big wooden tank to hide minifigs.
Design : 7/10 The design of the cart is good but not the stall.
Price : 4/10 The price here (at my country) are not acceptable.
Overall: 8/10 Great amount of accessories and four minifigs! I just like it!

LEGO Star Wars #8084 Snow Trooper Battle Pack

Star Wars has become my favourite theme and also many other favourite. If I'm not mistaken #8084 Snow Trooper Battle Pack is shown in a Russian event. Below are the picture:

Love this set so much as we get a proper speeder bike this time round although the front turret are different. But compare to the previous battle pack, there is nothing to complain about this speeder bike. We got all rare minifigs in here and the good part is we get a new helmet mold for AT-AT Pilot as well! The new helmet seems to be more accurate but bigger as well as with more printing, that eventually will lead to a messy printing.

Most probably the rumour of new AT-AT is coming is true.

We got new helmet for ARC-170 Starfighter Pilot too, which is face revealing.
Also, here's #8086 Droid Tri-Fighter image:

I like the new look of this set and I suppose it is bigger compare to the previous version (#7252). Now we can have new space scene made. XD

LEGO Technic 2010

I'm not a real Technic fans but I guess the buggy looks great and here's the pictures of the sets without any confidential mark on it. I found them on Brickshelf, but not sure where is the real source from.

#8406 Helicopter & #8408 Buggy

Both are the same colour, and at first I either one of them are alternate model to another. XP
