Masked Builder

"Well hello Cinna, nice to see you here." Alexis smiles.

"No it seems things never do. Elves should not be adding to the unrest here."

I was rather interested in this polybag. Polybag availability can be iffy anywhere so I wasn't sure if I could get it. When I found it in my box I was quite excited to have it! Set Information: Name: Super Secret Police Enforcer Set Number: 30282 Pieces: 40 Price: $4.99 Ages: 6-12 Minifigs: 1 Theme: The LEGO Movie Year of Release: 2014 Bricklink Brickset Flickr Set Baggy: There's not much on the front of this bag, nice and neat. The speeder, for lack of a better word, is placed on a rather neutral background, I think it's a construction site. The back has the usual translations and warnings. Contents: Five extra parts. I wonder why LEGO chose the trans-black visor... Manual: The manual is a very nice blue and yellow setup, it reminds me of the construction sets. There are six steps on this page, and you've mostly finished the build. Four more steps on this page, along with two sub-assemblies. There's also a large ad for several other The LEGO Movie sets. Minifigure: While I really like the uni-eyed robot, this guy is growing on me. His helmet only comes in one other set, and this is a much cheaper way to get it. The torso is nicely detailed with a great badge that matches his helmet logo, and his knee-pads and pockets on his legs are great. On his back he has a radio with a wire going to his helmet. I guess what I don't like about this guy is that his head is a "v" shape, just not my style. This gun is great! I thought the stock would be longer, and I'm not sure if I like the clip on the top, but I think I can ignore it. Finished Model: No build pictures with this model as I showed you the manual. This is a very compact, fun little craft. The lines are great, and the angles flow well. Good work LEGO. While simple, this speeder is quite spectacular. The simple lines, flowing curves, and over all great shape lend this to be a great model. I noticed on the bag that LEGO intends for there to be three thrusters on this model, though only two have trans pieces to represent that. The back is not really for viewing, plus you won't see it when you're swooshing it. Conclusion: This is one of my favorite polybags that I've gotten in a long time. It's very, very fun to swoosh around the house. Like I said, the minifigure has grown on me as I've written this review, he looks better with his helmet on for sure. While the build is simple, and there are no great parts, it all goes together to make a great, fun little set. Good work LEGO. (Now to find out who designed it.) Ratings: Playability: 8/10 There's not a lot beyond swooshing it around. Yes I do love swooshing stuff that much. Design: 8/10 I think LEGO probably could have squeezed in a flick missile, but I like where the set is now. Price: 9/10 Not the best PPP ratio, but the design for such a small number of parts is great. Minifigures: 8/10 He's got a rather rare helmet. Parts: 6/10 Nothing new or spectacular in this set. Total: 39/50 How he drives in a straight line with only one hand on steering is beyond me. Like this review? Want to learn how to make good reviews? Then join the Reviewers Academy!

I rather liked the look of this polybag. A small Micro Manager to battle with Wyld Style, I wasn't planning on getting any sets with Mirco Managers, and what looked to be a nice part selection. This too came in my package with The LEGO Movie Presskit. Set Information: Name: Micro Manager Battle Set Number: 30281 Pieces: 27 Price: Promotional Item Ages: 6-12 Minifigs: 1 Theme: The LEGO Movie Year of Release: 2014 Bricklink Brickset Flickr Set Baggy: The front of the bag shows a scene from the end of the movie where the Master Builders are fighting the Managers. I don't remember Wyle Style getting nun-chucks though. The LEGO Movie logo is featured prominetly. As this is the European bag, there is very little information to clutter up the front of the bag. On the back, you have the usual warnings and translations of the set name. Though on this set there seem to be less than usual. Contents: There are four extra parts in this set. Nothing to really note however. Wyld Style's hood came in this bag, I assume to protect the color printing. Manual: I love that the manual harks back to the older style of Creator sets, with the yellow and blue color scheme. In six steps you've built most of the Micro Manager. Only a quarter of this page is actual instructions. The other half is devoted to an ad for some of the other The LEGO Movie sets. Minifigures: Wyld Style is a great minifigure. Sure she has a generic hoodie on, but it is still cool. The right side of her outfit has been "gratified" on in blue and pink, it's a newer idea that LEGO tried and it works for this figure. Her hair is also quite new, she's got some printed highlights in her hair. The first thing that jumps out on you when you look at her back is her hood. The inside of her hood is printed in a nice pink color. She has the usual female print, which has some of the sides taken out with some printing. Here you can see the printing on her arm, which matches the print on her torso and legs, as well as the profile of her hood. It doesn't stick out to bad. The other side of her head is a bit of a point face, and you can also see the pink and blue print on her back. Finished Model: No build pictures as this set is so small. I really quite like this set, it has two of the new upward brackets. This guy looks very like the other Micro Managers, LEGO did a great job keeping them all similar. He only has one eye, but a common eye count isn't unusual with these guys. Not to much of anything going on in the back of him. What he's supposed to do with the wrench and chainsaw piece, I'm not sure. If the kids like it, that's all that matters. Conclusion: This was a very quick set to build. There's not a whole lot to it either, though I LOVE the parts selection here. The new brackets are great to have around. Wyld Style isn't a bad minifigure in anyway, though I've already got three of this version, maybe more sets with her hooded... Ratings: Playability: 5/10 Let's be honest here, the whole idea is for Wyld Style to "fight" the Manager. But there are no fighting features. (Flick Fires) Design: 6/10 It's a micro manager, which is a black box. Price: 8/10 While I don't know what price this will be, I think $4 is fair for the amount of decent parts. Minifigures: 7/10 Nobody exclusive to this polybag, but a good way to get a cheap Wyle Style. Parts: 9/10 I LOVE the new upward brackets. You get two in black! Total: 35/50 For some reason, I keep seeing this. Like this review? Want to learn how to make good reviews? Then join the Reviewers Academy!

When I first heard of this set, I wasn't at all interested. Small polybag, with Emmet and a rock? Not really interesting. I was planning on getting the Cloud Cuckoo set, so Emmet wasn't a draw for me. This set was in my package of sets including The LEGO Movie Press Kit. So I can't argue with that! Let's see how the set is. Set Information: Name: The Piece Of Resistance Set Number: 30280 Pieces: 33 Price: S@H Promotion Ages: 6-12 Minifigs: 1 Theme: The LEGO Movie Year of Release: 2014 Bricklink Brickset Flickr Set Baggy: I really like the layout of The LEGO Movie set art. We have The LEGO Movie logo in the upper right corner as well as some movie frames showing numbers. This is the European bag, and it doesn't have any age or part counts on the front. The back is full of the usual stuff, warnings in every language, and The LEGO Movie translated too. Contents: Here are the extra pieces. Rather boring, but not bad for a polybag. Manual: The manual has five, six if you want to count the instructions for Emmet, steps on this page. The blue and yellow printing seems fitting since this set is based in a construction site. On the back are four more steps, as well as a warning not to launch the rock bit at anyone head, though how you would do that I don't know. The other half of the manual is taken up by an ad for three of The LEGO Movie sets. Minifigure: Emmet is the same as each other Emmet made. While it is a generic construction worker design, after having seen the movie, it's much more special to me. I love his badge with his name on it, as well as his rather classic exp<b></b>ression. From the back you can really see the new hair mold well, the Piece of Resistance blocks up a lot of the printing on his back too. His alternate expression is nice, I love having new faces, as it gives me more choices in scared heads. The back print on Emmet is some reflective silver bits. Finished Model: The completed set. It's really simple and took me less than five minutes to build. Though I do like the combination of colors and slopes which make for an interesting look overall. It's really just a rock, though the 1x1 plates in trans-yellow do break up the monotony. LEGO has done a rather good job with their sloping in making an interesting shape. And the other side, this little bit is all functionally. Functions: The main feature of this set is "finding" the Piece of Resistance. By pushing this piece here. The rock piece goes flying. It actually launches fairly far, this is how far it went. I didn't push that hard, if you push harder it would probably go farther. Conclusion: This neat little polybag isn't terrible. Sure it just includes Emmet and a rock bit, but I could see some young boys wanting a cheap set with Emmet and the Piece of Resistance. I believe that this set is all about the functionally of "finding" the Piece. Which is a good idea, since this is a big moment in the film and not at all represented in the film. Overall I like, it. Not the best polybag I own, but not bad either. Ratings: Playability: 5/10 This set is all about the function of "finding" the Piece of Resistance. It's not a terrible function, but this throwing design has been done before. Design: 7/10 I like the color combination and the angles that the slopes make. Price: 7/10 I can see this set retailing for about $4, which isn't a bad price. I can see kids buying this just so they have Emmet. Minifigures: 6/10 It's just Emmet. He's generic but designed well, and I rather like him after see the movie. Parts: 8/10 Nothing to interesting, I do like the slopes that were included. More slopes are always nice, especially when I'm doing rock work. Total: 33/50 It works quite nicely as a Emmet flinger too.

No it's $45 for us.

Arrow is getting a third season! I think they should just bight the bullet and go another three. Careful scrolling down on that site, some spoliers for the people who don't know Arrow.

"Let the Orc live. I've had enough death for today." Alexis says cleaning her fan off.

How much olive green is there in the set?

Alexis swings her fan again.

Alexis swings her fan at Dyruultar A.

Alexis repeats.

"You're so blind! This is for the good of the country." Alexis repeats.

Alexis repeats. "Dang orc."

Alright, I've watched this now and must say that it wasn't bad. I would like an original story as nothing here was new to me. But the fact that you animated this is quite impressive. Glad go see that you've got more of the official figs as Flash was looking a bit rough there at the end.

Alexis swings her fan at Kanvyral A from the back row. OOC: Sorry about that last action, it's a real pain to format posts from my phone.

I do agree that the movie interpritation is terrible. But the books are pretty good.

Alexis repeats.

No I agree he looks the role I think. Never heard of him before though...

"Here you go Haldor." Alexis dumps a nostrum on him, then swings her fan at Aj-Kahr Kanvyral A, from the front row.

"Yes Haldor, I'd be willing to give you some gold too if you get me healed up." Alexis drinks a Nostrum, Smelling salts, and her Dragon fire stew after Haldor heals her.

Going to watch this later, I did watch your preview and it looks quite good!

I haven't heard of your first four movies, monty. Mine are: Pacific Rim Captain Philips Star Trek into Darkness Desolation of Smaug Iron man 3 No particular order for these. Didn't see Elysium, but that would probably be on the list.

Actually I rather liked the probowl this year. Though I think a lot of it is the new rules And the Seahawks will win. Best offense vs. best defense, the defense has always won.
