    REVIEW: 80101 Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner

    Thank you guys for your thoughts and comments. I could think so. It is just a plausible theory. Fully agree with you on the reunion dinner aspect. I will miss them deeply. Glad you had positive vibes about this set. Agree on the distribution hype and it is indeed unfortunate. Well, it could also be part of the wider TLG strategy because they could not know how well these sets could perform on worldwide and if other parts of the world like US and Europe could even interested in such Chinese centred LEGO designed sets.

    Chinese New Year’s sets -2019

    I believe by now, whole of Singapore had exhausted the retail stocks from all possible retail channels. It is said there won’t be any restocking for Singapore. Any words on other Asia Pacific region?

    REVIEW: 80101 Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner

    Thanks guys for your comments and views. It really pleased me to see other AFOLs who are not Chinese are also equally excited about this built as well. You definitely ought to get this and I am pretty sure you will enjoy it. Don't let the exclusivity discourage you. Same sentiments. I hope the printed tiles will also be made available in other future sets. I also look forward to see what builders can do with this basic design to make the entire house complete. I also hope to find out who is the designer of this set as well. It is pretty accurate to me. Nice, I didn't know Nick was involved in the Dragon Dance design. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. If they had gone for the actual food molds, then the table will definitely be not enough to accommodate all of the food cuisine. I think printed tiles work fine for me at this point.

    REVIEW: 75972 Dorado Showdown

    I felt this set is lacking in details especially on the built. It is quite bare and empty. I am not quite impressed with it. I will probably get the minifigures from BL instead.

    REVIEW: 75971 Hanzo vs. Genji

    Nothing too impressive about the Shrine and it does able to integrate with the Ninjago setting though. The minifigures are pretty nice to look at. In particular, Hanzo is something whichg I like to have. I am still undecided on this set but looking at your review. It is making me to reconsider my position again.

    REVIEW: 75970 Tracer vs. Widowmaker

    The best Overwatch entry level set. It is perfectly nice looking set to savour this theme especially with Tracer in this set. Thanks Oky for this review.

    REVIEW: 75973 D.Va & Reinhardt

    Thanks Oky. I love the mecha builts as well as the minifigures. Reinhardt does look abit of Odin though. I enjoyed this review as much as seeing close up images. I had no knowledge about Overwatch and your review gave me a pretty good insight and nice idea on what this theme is all about. I am certainly aiming to get these for the builts and minifigures.

    Review: 70841 Benny's Space Squad

    Very fine review. Love the finale picture. This set is nowhere to be seen and is selling like hotcakes in Singapore.
  17. Hello everyone, I am very pleased to present my latest reviewing adventure on this brand new licensed LEGO Minifigures - Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Series 1 which will be available worldwide in August 2018. First of all, I would like to give my thanks to The LEGO Group (TLG) which include the LEGO CEE and LEGO Collectable Minifigures Design Team and our very own EB CopMike. Most importantly, my wife (Belun) for allowing me to review this series in peace over the past weekend. I can't believe I had completed 27 exhaustive LEGO pictorial reviews including this current one, solely for the coverage of the LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series / LEGO Minifigures Theme throughout the past eight years. Following Eurobricks tradition for all of the past Collectable Minifigures polls once more, it started with a humble beginning of Series 1 followed by Series 2 in the year 2010 and it continue to spread like wildfire with another three strong waves of minifigures craze in the year 2011, putting Series 3, Series 4 and Series 5 in an excellent harvesting year. In the year 2012, we celebrated with Series 6, Series 7 and recent Series 8. With the year 2013, we have the Series 9, Series 10 and Series 11. In the year 2014, we seen the LEGO Movie Series, The first LEGO Simpsons Series and Series 12. In the year 2015, we had the Series 13, LEGO Simpsons Series 2 and Series 14. In the year 2016, we seen the Series 15, LEGO Disney Series 1 and Series 16. In the year 2017, we have the LEGO Batman Movie Series, Series 17 and LEGO Ninjago Movie Series. Beginning of year 2018, we see the LEGO Batman Movie Series 2 and Series 18. Now I would like to invite everyone to cast their vote for LEGO Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Series 1 poll statistics. Name: 71022 LEGO Minifigures - Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Series 1 Theme: LEGO System / Collectable Minifigures / Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Year: 2018 Minifigs: 22 unique minifigures Price for 1 box: USD N.A, GBP N.A, EURO N.A, SGD N.A Price for 1 packet: USD N.A, GBP N.A, EURO N.A, SGD N.A Resources: Brickset, BrickLink An image of an 71022 LEGO Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Series 1 The LEGO Minifigures - Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Series 1's main colour schema is a beloved mixture of misty night scene which set between Hogwarts and New York. [Reference 1] [Reference 2] [Reference 3] [Reference 4] What could possibly lurk within these mysterious sealed packets? The highly anticipated new Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts licenses finally made its way to CMFs with awesome excitement This is the first ever LEGO Minifigures series to break new grounds to include the first ever 22 unique LEGO minifigures in a series. This new series is not the traditional LEGO Minifigures Series and instead TLG had brought us a splendid treat for Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts fans through this amazing minifigures' line up, featuring unique named characters. Despite some of the characters' rendition, it is welcoming to see most of the characters in their new attire as well as equipping them with new medium short legs for these 'child' characters in Year 1 to 2 during Hogwarts. TLG had previously already indulged us with Batman Movie Series and Disney Series from their license theme. Well, for the minifigures theme to include the universe of Harry Potter characters and the new Fantastic Beasts characters without the need to buy a set is indeed marvelous. The LEGO Harry Potter theme had previously appeared from 2001 to 2004 where the minifigures are still in the traditional yellow minifigure tone. Then in 2005 to 2007, we start to see Harry Potter minifigures in flesh tone. I was one of the fortunate fans who had managed to buy LEGO Harry Potter sets when it was re-released from 2010 to 2011. Thereafter, we had not seen any Harry Potters sets until just recently where Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts are packaged together to form under the LEGO Wizarding World. I do not know if there will be a future series for this theme and the coining of Series 1 in this theme is merely to serve as a continuation if there is ever plans for one. Past licensed series are normally not just one-off. A note, large portion of the characters' references are linked to harrypotter.wikia.com for additional background information on the named characters. IMPORTANT: Please note that the naming for all 22 minifigures, where applicable, that I have use for this review are likely to be official TLG minifigures naming for the LEGO Minifigures - Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Series 1. General Statistics for 71022 LEGO Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Series 1 I have decided to shift my distribution ratio to the top of the review, due to extensive scrolling of 22 minifigures' characters coverage plus I have received feedback of my reviewing format which I hope will be useful. I have shared my thoughts and views at the end of each minifgures' coverage. Below is the combination which I have received from my box, 1 Percival Graves 2 Luna Lovegood (s) 2 Professor Sybill Trelawney (s) 2 Harry Potter (Invisibility Cloak) (s) 2 Credence Barebone (s) 3 Harry Potter (Hogwarts outfit) (s) 3 Hermione Granger (s) 3 Ron Weasley (s) 3 Draco Malfoy (s) 3 Neville Longbottom (s) 3 Cho Chang (s) 3 Dean Thomas (s) 3 Lord Voldemort (s) 3 Dobby (s) 3 Cedric Diggory (s) 3 Professor Filius Flitwick (s) 3 Mad-Eye Moody (s) 3 Professor Albus Dumbledore (s) 3 Newt Scamander (s) 3 Tina Goldstein (s) 3 Jacob Kowalski (s) 3 Queenie Goldstein (s) New medium movable short legs A great highlight in this series is the new minifigure element of movable short legs. I had placed all three minifigures for height comparison. The new medium short minifigure is mid-tier between a regular and short legs minifigures. It can walk and sit like a regular minifigures where the short leg minifigures are not able to achieve. It is so versatile and useful, which helps to increase playability for the traditional short-leg minifigures. I noticed the traditional short-legs is still in circulation which will also bring me a thought, if the new part is meant to supersede the existing part or to complement the array of minifigures' parts. In this case, I really hope this new medium short legs will be made available in other LEGO themes as well. Different new wand sticks Another wonderful new highlight in this series is the inclusion of these new wands' parts. Among the 22 unique minifigures, there are 3 characters who don't wield a magical wand and they are Dobby, Jacob Kowalski and Credence Barebone. To my surprise, these new wands contain an extra piece and you will require to use some force to take the wands' mold apart. As of now, the new wands are available in six different colours and they are very useful minifigure accessory. The wands can be wielded forward like what I had done with my minifigures and it won't hurt the arm. I am very tempted to replace the oversize wands that I have in my current collection. These new wands are prove to be useful indeed. In addition, if you bought a box and bother to take it out in an organised manner. You will be amazed by the numbers of extra wands which will be useful to give you a head start to do your own replacement exercise subsequently. Front view comparison of current LEGO Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Series 1 with the rest of the past CMFs series I have placed all 28 different minifigures packets as part of my overall comparison. From the above aerial image, you can see an impressive transformation of LEGO CMFs Series over the long course of time. It is so delightful to be able to see all of the assorted designs series at one glance. The LEGO Minifigures Theme is a force not to be reckoned with and remain a very strong contender in the TLG product range since 2010. 28 different releases including regional exclusives are not easy to replicate the craze in many LEGO CMFs followers. So, are you still following the CMFs craze since Day 1? Take a closer look at the following images. This is the front view of the LEGO Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Series 1 packet, while this shows the back view of it. This is an image that shows the back view comparison for all of these packets. Simple reminder to all of my regular CMFs readers. If you are intending to collect the precious and hard-to-find minifigures, hone your skills for the touch and feel method. This is an important skill set in order to locate the minifigures that you want without spending too much money by randomly acquire them, especially so when you are intending to buy large quantities. Your sole mission is to memorise and remember the minifigures assortments for each of the specialised designs. Isolate and identify the most unique accessory or accessories for the particular minifigure. From there, eliminate the torso, head and legs and feel for the other parts. The sole disadvantage of this method is that much time would be wasted if the minifigures that you are looking for have been taken from the box. You might also end up with sore numb thumbs after feeling them. Please be careful and treat the packets with respect when you do the above. Reason being, there are many fragile and soft parts in this series. Front view of the LEGO Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Series 1 promotional poster - updated Back view of the LEGO Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Series 1 promotional poster - updated The first 16 minifigures are dedicated to the Harry Potter books' characters while the next 6 minifigures are dedicated to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. It's very uncommon for TLG to dedicate 2-in-1 theme in a single release even though I must admit it is a welcoming and yet stretch move. As you flip to the back of the promotional poster, you will notice a set of simple instructions to guide those who are not familiar with the fixing of minifigures' accessories built and cape placement. These are some form of basic instructions to guide our very young builders who may not be too familiar with these building parts. The simple illustration is to ensure those minifigures are fixed correctly. 1) Harry Potter (Hogwarts Outfit) Without further ado, let's bring out the first licensed minifigure design from this series. This the main protagonist and leading character based on JK Rowling's Harry Potter books. I grew up with Harry Potter movies, similar to Lord of The Rings movies back in 2000. I had unfortunately missed LEGO Harry Potter sets then, as these were in my dark ages. Back in 2010, I had a chance to rekindle with LEGO Harry Potter and this time round, the brand new Wizarding World in 2018. Harry Potter had appeared a total of 25 different variants till this date and is arguably the most common minifigure ever released. Despite of its numerous re-releases, this is actually the first short leg equivalent of Harry Potter and is donned in the Hogwarts robe outfit. Harry Potter was a half-blood wizard, one of the most famous wizards of modern times. He was the only child and son of James and Lily Potter who are both members of the original Order of the Phoenix. Harry's birth was overshadowed by a prophecy and this caused the Potter family to go into hiding. Lord Voldemort made his first vain attempt to circumvent the prophecy when Harry was an infant. During that attempt, he murdered Harry's parents as they tried to protect him, but this unsuccessful attempt led to Lord Voldemort's first downfall. This downfall marked the end of the First Wizarding War, and to Harry henceforth being known as the "Boy Who Lived" which will lead to a series of blockbuster movies ever since. Parts assortment The parts assortment are slightly above average. The medium short legs for the minifigure is very well designed and I prefer this black suave hairstyle much over than the older appearance. The white owl is a great re-introduction and owls from the Harry Potter theme are coated with nice details. You can view more of the details from the all rounded view inclusive of front, side and back view. Different variants of Harry Potter Visiting Gringott's Bank How can I help you? Harry, this is Buckbeak We love your owls collection 2) Hermione Granger The next in line is Hermione Granger in medium short legs. Hermione Granger was a Muggle-born witch. At a very young age, she learned that she was a witch, and had been accepted into Hogwarts School. She was sorted into Gryffindor House. Hermione Granger possessed a brilliant academic mind and proved to be a gifted student in almost every subject that she studied. She is the original trio which accompanied Harry Potter in their adventures. Hermione Granger had appeared a total of 10 different variants till this date.

I believe this is her pet cat - Crookshanks and it is a brand new cat design among the recent releases of new cats.

Different variants of Hermione Granger Pets gathering Legendary Gryffindor Knight Visiting Ollivander's store 3) Ron Weasley The next minifigure is the muddleheaded Ron Weasley in medium short legs.

Neville wears a new hairpiece together with a light brown ear mufflers.

Cho began dating Cedric Diggory until the loss of his life in the Second Wizarding War and subsequently, she was also in a short romantic relationship with Harry Potter. This character is quite a popular character and I am sure it will be popular among fans' request for her first appearance in LEGO. Parts assortment The parts assortment are slightly above average. Cho has the same rubbery hairpiece like Series 12 - Spooky Girl. The owl is also a brand new variants. Her outfit is the typical Hogwarts uniform and her skin tone is light tan similar to Asian complexion which is quite incorrect based on the final design. Cho wasn't very tan and I was hoping that she could be slightly fairer. Her minifigure also include a grey skirting around her waist. You can view more of the details from the all rounded view inclusive of front, side and back view. It is a pleasure to meet both of you Could I buy an owl for you? 8) Dean Thomas The next minifigure release which has the same unique status as Cho Chang is none other than Dean Thomas in his medium short legs.

Parts assortment The parts assortment are average. It has the new skirt torso and donned in dark green long robe. It's great to see a brand new snake mold and this nasty snake is known as Nagini. At first, I thought Nagini can't be held by a minifigure but I just discovered that it can be held at the rear point of the tail (at one specific point).

Likewise, the new dish with the water printing that is meant to be a pensieve, an object used to review memories. You can view more of the details from the all rounded view inclusive of front, side and back view. Different variants of Professor Albus Dumbledore (with slight modifications) Harry, I am very pleased to see you 17) Newt Scamander Now, the 16 characters of Harry Potters universe are completed. We are now moving on to the next section of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Meet the charming handsome Newt Scamander in this latest release. Early in life, Newt Scamander developed an interest in magical creatures, influenced by his mother's breeding of hippogriffs. He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he was sorted into Hufflepuff House, and was sentenced to expulsion, though Albus Dumbledore protested his innocence. His new adventure began in New York where he had twists and turns with other new accompanying characters. Newt Scamander had appeared a total of 1 different variant till this date and both minifigures are equally charming and in this version, you can actually see this little green guy known as Bowtruckle who follows Newt closely. Parts assortment The parts assortment are excellent. First of all, the new briefcase design is simply amazing as it can place 2 pieces of 1x1 round tile in a fitting manner when the briefcase can be opened and stored at ease. You get the brand new animal piece known as Niffler (attracted to shiny objects) who is real iconic in the first sequence of the movie. The Niffler is simply adorable and I am glad I don't have to stuck with the brick-built animal from the 71253 Dimensions playset. You can view more of the details from the all rounded view inclusive of front, side and back view. Different variants of Newt Scamander Officer, I assure there is no contraband inside Cough up those gold right now Meet the Swooping Evil Niffler, meet your new friends You will make an outstanding fantastic beast 18) Tina Goldstein As we are moving on to the next section of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Meet the witty Tina Goldstein. She was a half-blood American witch. She attended IIvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she was sorted into Thunderbird house. After graduating from IIvermorny, she became an Auror for the Magical Congress of the United States of America. Tina was dismissed from her position as an Auror for magically assaulting the non-magic people - Mary Lou Barebone. She assaulted Mary Lou in front of witnesses as a response to her beating her adopted son, Credence Barebone. Tina was investigating the New Salem Philanthropic Society, against the orders of her superiors. She was reinstated after helping to arrest Gellert Grindelwald. Tina had appeared a total of 1 different variant till this date and both minifigures are equally nice. Parts assortment The parts assortment are slightly above average. It has a nice hot dog and the bun with it for Tina to eat while on undercover duty. She has a dual facial expression which showed an upsetting appearance.

Returning home to the United States he found work in a cannery, but dream of becoming a baker. He went to Steen National Bank to apply for a loan but was turned down. While at the bank he met Newt Scamander who stopped in New York on his travels to find and document magical beasts. Through Newt he was exposed to the magical world, but had his memories wiped as was required by wizarding law. This is a welcoming new addition for one of this main characters being made available from the last movie. Parts assortment The parts assortment are slightly above average. The new briefcase which we had seen in Newt Scamander earlier ago, is included in this assortment. It is indeed a very useful accessory and the two printed cake tiles (1x1 round tiles) are nice inclusion as well. You can view more of the details from the all rounded view inclusive of front, side and back view. Stop right there Good day to you 20) Queenie Goldstein The next magical character is the sister of Tina Goldstein and she is none other than Queenie Goldstein. She was a half-blood American witch.

After graduating from Ilvermorny, Queenie acquired a desk job in the Wand Permit Office within the Magical Congress of the United States of America. Because of her beauty, she was described by others as being a "bombshell". She was also an extremely accomplished Legilimens, someone with the ability to extract feelings and memories from another’s mind. I am very glad to see this nice character appearing into the Wizarding world and I don't have to buy sets to get to own this licensed character. Parts assortment The parts assortment are slightly above average. The strudel is the main highlight among the accessory and the hairpiece is a nice inclusion. You can view more of the details from the all rounded view inclusive of front, side and back view.

Credence had two adopted sisters, Chastity and Modesty. Credence was an Obscurial, a Witch or Wizard who developed a parasitical force known as an Obscurus through the repression of his or her magic.

You can view more of the details from the all rounded view inclusive of front and back view. Don't let it swallow me Please take a leaflet We will like to help you 22) Percival Graves The final character in this series is the main antagonist from the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and many could have first known him as Percival Graves. He was an Auror, Director of Magical Security and head of MACUSA's Department of Magical Law Enforcement. At some point, his identity was assumed by Gellert Grindelwald using Human Transfiguration. It is unknown if he was killed or kept in captivity during this time. In this case, we got ourselves two characters' in this packaging. He was a pure or half-blood wizard who was considered to be one of the most powerful and dangerous Dark Wizards of all time, considered to be surpassed only by Tom Riddle or Lord Voldemort in this case. A student at Durmstrang Institute, Grindelwald was expelled for twisted, dark experiments and near-fatal attacks on his fellow students. He later fostered a friendship with a young Albus Dumbledore, making plans to find the Deathly Hallows and lead a Wizarding revolution to end the International Statute of Secrecy, creating a benevolent global hierarchical order led by wise and powerful witches and wizards that dominated Muggles. Their partnership fell apart. Grindelwald left Britain and later stole the Elder Wand, proceeding alone with the planned revolution. Other than from this LEGO minifigure packet, Gellert can also be found in the upcoming 75951 Grindelward's Escape set. 22) Bonus character - Gellert Grindelwald Parts assortment The parts assortment are slightly below average. It has two hairpieces and dual facial expressions to reveal Gellert Grindelwald's actual appearance. You can view more of the details from the all rounded view inclusive of front, side and back view. You will surpass my prowess There's nothing to be afraid of My thoughts on the distribution ratio Based on the distribution, I have achieved one full complete set of 22 one-of-a kind minifigures each, including the very rare Percival Graves which is extremely disappointing. I hate to rant but this distribution ratio is disappointing and I do not understand why that character need to be made so rare. TLG could easily give him an extra count and in this way, we can have two complete sets with just only 16 spares. Now instead of 16 spares, I am left with 38 spares now which is more than twice of the amount. I simply do not understand this logic and this is definitely one of the worst distribution ratio that I had ever seen. My remaining spares based on 22 unique minifigures: 0 Percival Graves 1 Luna Lovegood (s) 1 Professor Sybill Trelawney (s) 1 Harry Potter (Invisibility Cloak) (s) 1 Credence Barebone (s) 2 Harry Potter (Hogwarts outfit) (s) 2 Hermione Granger (s) 2 Ron Weasley (s) 2 Draco Malfoy (s) 2 Neville Longbottom (s) 2 Cho Chang (s) 2 Dean Thomas (s) 2 Lord Voldemort (s) 2 Dobby (s) 2 Cedric Diggory (s) 2 Professor Filius Flitwick (s) 2 Mad-Eye Moody (s) 2 Professor Albus Dumbledore (s) 2 Newt Scamander (s) 2 Tina Goldstein (s) 2 Jacob Kowalski (s) 2 Queenie Goldstein (s) Data Analysis Distribution ratio will determine which minifigure will truly be popular. It is not hard to wonder that now the most incredible rare minifigure in this series is the inconspicuous villain, Percival Grave. The next hard to find will definitely be the 2 in this series which are Luna Lovegood, Professor Sybill Trelawney, Harry Potter (Invisibility Cloak) and Credence Barebone. That's my best bet on which minifigures will be most popular. As there are no generic minifigures' for army builders to tap on, I guess it all boils down to what new parts or accessories to you need to amass. I am sure everyone is eyeing for Percival Grave (suddenly became the hottest character in town), after the Series 18 - Classic Police Officer which has the probability of getting it in 1.66% in a mint untouched sealed box. Well, I strongly believe most of us will be looking for this priceless minifigure for the sake of hoarding it or simply aiming to complete it for the purpose of 22 unique minifigures. So, what's the safest strategy to get it? Just buy a box and be done with it and thank goodness there are many new useful hairpieces, headpieces and accessories. Don't bother to pay high amount for this ridiculous pricing but I am sure the sellers will be pricing this minifigure at all time high since this is one out of 60 in a sealed box. In short, I am extremely disappointed with this current distribution arrangement. What do you think of it? Do you like the overall distribution count?To conclude, based on the probability demonstrated by this review, as an example, here are the summarised results,High probability 1) Harry Potter (Hogwarts outfit) (s) 2) Hermione Granger (s) 3) Ron Weasley (s) 4) Draco Malfoy (s) 5) Neville Longbottom (s) 6) Cho Chang (s) 7) Dean Thomas (s) 8) Lord Voldemort (s) 9) Dobby (s) 10) Cedric Diggory (s) 11) Professor Filius Flitwick (s) 12) Mad-Eye Moody (s) 13) Professor Albus Dumbledore (s) 14) Newt Scamander (s) 15) Tina Goldstein (s) 16) Jacob Kowalski (s) 17) Queenie Goldstein (s)Total range: 85%Each: 5%Low probability 1) Luna Lovegood (s) 2) Professor Sybil Trelawney (s) 3) Harry Potter (Invisibility Cloak) (s) 4) Credence Barebone (s)Total range: 13.33%Each: 3.33% Rare probability (which I encourage you to just buy a box and be done with it)1) Percival Graves Total range: 1.66%Each: 1.66% It is a beautiful treat for fans of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts to own them in CMFs series The LEGO Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Series 1 will be launching on the 1st August 2018 (worldwide) To conclude, the LEGO Minifigures - Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Series 1 Minifigures Series 1 has break new CMFs ground by achieving the impossible of racking 22 unique minifigures' design in a single release with the combination of two iconic movie licenses of having new licensed characters in their variant outfits. The level of sheer expansion of the CMFs has greatly made it to new realms and Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts being one of the premium LEGO Licensed Theme. It has indeed attracted many new and old fans all over the world. has continued successfully surprised us with another new level of design creativity. It greatly excites me for this licensed theme and not many licensed themes excite me this much. With this possibility, I wonder if there's ever an opportunity to see superheroes from Marvel, DC or even Star Wars for that matter ever appear in the CMFs theme? Time will tell. Other than the positive nudge about this series, the greatest sole disappointment in this series is the terrible distribution ratio. Other than that, it could have been an almost perfect ten. Traditional LEGO CMFs series always appeal widely to the masses. One thing for certain is TLG is not really intending to just focus on the traditional stuff. There are already clear signs in the shift in their marketing and design approach. Time will tell if the change in the LEGO CMFs could sustain and continue to appeal to general public and LEGO fans. It is not an easy theme to continue create, design and introduce many new creative and original designs for each new series. The LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series or known as LEGO Minifigures Theme shall always be a rare commanding class of their own, which distinguish themselves from regular LEGO Theme and special releases. It has been a very long standing tradition and yet they are able to retain the charm and excitement, until today and I am not out of interest yet. Now with a total of 438 minifigures released for the entire Series 1 to 18, the LEGO Movie Series, LEGO Simpsons Series 1 to 2, Disney LEGO Minifigures, LEGO Batman Movie series 1 to 2, LEGO Ninjago Movie Series and the current LEGO Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts series, not including Mr. Gold which unfortunately I do not have the blessings or lucky stars to own it till this date, and the special exclusive Toy Soldier and Zombie Skateboarder minifigures that can only be obtained through The Minifigures Character Encyclopedia books respectively. At such accelerated releasing rate, I wonder what is everyone's display plan and if they can keep up with the display shelving area for future expansion. For myself, I had already done a nice display for my own CMFs and with this new series, I had maxed out my current display. I will need to work something out in order to accommodate future releases. Meanwhile, I really wonder what exciting new series will TLG have for us. Only time will tell and let's be patient about it. I am confident that it will be worth the wait as always.

Price: 6/10 (Pricing notch for SRP is not out but I guess it will be hovering around SGD$6.50 and I highly disliked the distribution ratio.)Overall: 8.7/10 (Ready yourself for this new amazing Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts minifigures to see such an exciting licensed minifigure theme. Definitely worth the wait) I gave it a "5" based on my Review Score Card. What about yours? I hope everyone of you enjoyed reading this simple review of mine. Comments and Criticisms are welcomed.

    [REVIEW] 5005251- Penguin Winter Hut

    Thanks for the review. I wasn't even aware of my own country's TRU promotion until you have pointed it out. Now you are making me think whether if I should get this exclusive minifigure design to couple with my CMFs Penguin Suit Guy.
  23. Our Eurobricks Reviewers Academy Teacher, Makoy had recently gotten his hand on this promotional minifigure from the Malaysia Toys R US exclusive. Take a moment and see this comprehensive review of the 5005251 Penguin Winter Hut. What do you think of this promotional minifigure design? Do you prefer to see it in the LEGO CMFs instead?

  24. Hello everyone, I am back to share one of my latest Summer Star Wars purchase and this new release excites me greatly. Thankfully I had managed to get this off at a very reasonable price instead of having to pay a full SRP for it locally in Singapore. I had been contemplating for this set for a long time and it is a timely release for such an iconic Jedi Starfighter led by General Skywalker in the Clone Wars. Yes, this is the tenth anniversary of the Clone Wars and seeing this set appearing once more versus the 7669 Anakin's Jedi Starfighter, released in 2008. Without further ado, let me indulge you guys in this simple review. Name: 75214 Anakin's Jedi Starfighter Theme: LEGO System / Licensed / Star Wars / The Clone Wars Year: 2018 Pieces: 247 Minifigs: 1 minifigure and 1 droid Price: USD 19.99, GBP 25.99, EURO 29.99, SGD 59.90 Resources: Brickset, BrickLink, Brick Insights An original box image of the 75214 Anakin's Jedi Starfighter Back view of the original box image of the 75214 Anakin's Jedi Starfighter Anakin is back with a re-release of this starfighter Jedi Starfighters are the main commanding fighters among flight squadron for the Republic. Each starfighter is commandeer by a Jedi during the Clone Wars and are highly revered as Commanders or Generals with regards to the Clone Troopers. Till this date, there are a couple of Jedi Starfighters released as early as 2002. I never really had a chance to own a decent Jedi Starfighters and in fact, this is my very first Jedi Starfighter to add into my Clone Wars collection. I had always liked General Skywalker in the Clone Wars and getting this as my first make lots of sense, coupled with good pricing. It was hard to say no. The content of the sealed box The sealed box come with three numbered mint packs. The instruction manual is part of the content. This set also contain a dreaded sticker sheet which I did not apply for my set. After the set is completed, these are the remaining spare parts which are spread across the packs. You can view the spare parts for packet 1, packet 2 and packet 3. Anakin Skywalker and R2-D2 This set contain the main protagonist of the Clone Wars - Anakin Skywalker or otherwise known as General Skywalker, of the 501st Legion, accompanied by Captain Rex. Anakin Skywalker had appeared 19 different variants ranging from original yellow skin tone to cartoonish version of Clone Wars and the regular fleshie appearances. This is one of the nicer looking minifigure of Anakin Skywalker and some of my other favourites include the 9494 Anakin's Jedi Interceptor and 9526 Palpatine's Arrest. While Anakin's trusty droid, R2-D2 in this design has magically appeared in 5 recent sets. By turning them to their back and removal of hairpiece, you can see back view of the minifigure with alternate facial expression including back printing. The entire building content for Packet 1The completed built for Packet 1 The entire building content for Packet 2The completed built for Packet 2 The entire building content for Packet 3 The completed built of the Anakin's Jedi Starfighter The completed built of the Anakin's Jedi Starfighter design is nicely done and well articulated. Swooshable and medium built for such a starfighter to handle with great playing. More importantly, it stay true with the reference material. It is a pity that I do not have the 2008 version to compare with. Looking at the two designs together, both are pretty similar in their built and placement of key design components. I noticed that it had smooth the front of the starfighter and R2-D2 docking area is much compact and streamlined which I prefer in this version. This set measured at 8cm high, 10cm long and 13cm wide. It has a decent playability including the landing gear, hidden storage of the lightsaber beneath the starfighter and stud shooters on the slant wings. I didn't notice there is a hidden storage for extra ammos and I had concluded it was located pretty near the front of R2-D2 docking station. The cockpit flight control front is a printed roof tile and it is welcoming than a stickered piece. You just need to lift it up to discover it. s very simple and good-to-have feature to accompany this battle pack. You can enjoy more of the up close viewing angles from the side view and back view. Sir, we will hit the Separatist Forces hard Ready for the next war mission? Your safety is secured with General Skywalker Rex, which starfighter should I be taking? Off we go to our next adventure To conclude, this is a slightly high above average LEGO Star Wars Starfighter for a Jedi. Jedi Starfighters are normally priced at a premium range and it is only make perfect sense to buy it when is on sale or the minifigures' count increase more than 1. Droid does not count as a minifigure. I bought this set purely because my Clone Troopers need a proper General Skywalker leading the troopers into battle during the Clone Wars era. Furthermore, this starfighter is very iconic in the Clone Wars and is instant recognisable in the Clone War cartoon series. I enjoyed as much as building it as well as actually playing with it. Last but not least, I do not have to pay premium price to get the decade old set and this re-release is welcoming in my context. Summary review Playability: 8/10 (Fun to play with various play scenes, which you can imagine from the Clone Wars series) Design: 8/10 (Good re-released Jedi Starfighter design and nice minifigure too.) Price: 5/10 (Get this set when it on sales as I find it very expensive to pay it at full SRP in Singapore.) Overall: 7/10 (Get this Jedi Starfighter or simply let this design be your ever first one to begin with, if you have never buy one in the first place. You will find it worthy for swooshing.) I gave it a "4" based on my Review Score Card. What about yours? (Star Wars poll function is still broken and I exclude the poll in this review). I hope every one of you enjoyed reading this simple review of mine. Comments and Criticisms are strongly welcomed. Pictures can be found in My Flickr.
