Green Arrow looks great! The setting is perfect.

The last one is good Oky. Made me laugh.

Etzel, we'd better be back before December 21!

Wanted to break from my plans for today's viper. So I grabbed a cockpit and this is what came out. I really like the angle into the forward prongs.

I still have yet to find anything anywhere! Guess I have to wait until next Tuesday, though I'm hoping TRU gets them Saturday.

"This is infuriating. Let's try my compass." Alexis concentrates on finding the killer.

"Well it looks like this place is a bust." Alexis digs here and at the other coffin room.

Alexis rolls her eyes at Haldor. "Well that took forever. Cronk I guess you get the sword. Haldor and I will split the two somas. Unless you want both Haldor."

I've emailed LEGO, but I have yet to hear from them. No I sadly do not. If I get one from LEGO, I'll update the review.

Another animal based viper. I'm quite happy with this little guy. He's strong enough to swoosh too! Thanks guys, happy to know you liked that one.

Alexis repeats her attack. Same order.

Wow. The only ones I have to get are the green, red, and blue sets. They're just to cool to pass up!

"Quite right you are Cronk." Alexis attacks the Swordsman with a pair of light spells from the back row.

I like the new robo-figs, and that pod the aliens have to capture the humans looks useful too. Can't wait to see the rest of the sets.

Thanks again for the feedback guys! It's good to hear that someone else likes the sword mold!

25 reviews deep! I've written 25 reviews with the Reviewers Academy. Making progress! From Big Cam.

"Thanks, Cronk. My head really hurt. Let's finish this guy off." Alexis attacks the Swordsman with a pair of light spells from the back row. Battle Order: Cronk Alexis Alexis

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'll keep you posted on what happens with LEGO. Thanks! That's where I got mine. I'd planned on it being on the pricy side, so I guess I was read for it.

When I first got news of this figure, I knew I had to own one. What Tolkien fan in their right mind would pass up a Last Alliance Elrond minifigure? However, it was a preorder bonus so I had to dish out a fair amount for him figure. Keep reading for my 25th review special! Set Information: Name: Elrond Set Number: 5000202 Pieces: 6 Price: Preorder Bonus Ages: 6+ Minifigs: 1 Theme: Lord of the Rings Year of Release: 2012 Bricklink Brickset Flickr Set Baggy: The front of the bag has an action pose of Elrond over what could be actual movie footage. It's to small to tell. Then we have the Lord of the Rings banner, Saurons middle finger with the ring on it. Flipping the bag over, we have the usual safety spiel. However, there is no clear line where the color print didn't go, so we can't see the contents of the bag. The baggy is the exact same size as the Darth Maul promo polybag, which is slightly smaller than a normal polybag. Contents: There are only six parts in the bag, and no extras, but I'm already drooling over that sword! Minifigure: So, here he is, out of the bag, and in his full glory. He does look good doesn't he? I have no complaints what-so-ever about him, but let's go a bit more in-depth. Starting with a straight on shot, the first thing that jumps out at me are the colors. We have gold, a soft green, and a darker blue. They all work together perfectly here, capturing the essence of the costume. LEGO did an excellent job making the design simple but still keeping that detail. He has the same hair as Legolas and Haldir, but in dark brown. Notice he has a short cape rather than the long one featured on the bag. I'm still unsure as to why this happened, but I'll be emailing LEGO to see if I can get a long one. The armor continues on the back, even though we don't see it in the movie, I'm sure it looked something like this. A side-by-side comparison of the minifigure and Hugo Weaving who plays Elrond. There's no dirt on any of the minifigure's clothing, but I think that probably would have made it to busy. Other than that, it looks like a great recreation of him. Lastly, a quick comparison of the three elf minifigures available. They all have drawn faces and serious expressions. Nothing funny about these three. Conclusion I'm very happy with this figure. LEGO did an excellent job adapting him into LEGO form, and I can't complain about the color scheme. That sword still has me drooling, so many opportunities to use it. If you're on the fence about Elrond, go get yourself one, he's worth it! Ratings: Playability: 9/10 He's as playable as any minifigure, I don't do much playing myself, and less so with this guy as I paid a nice sum for him. Design: 10/10 The design is perfect, then again, there wasn't much LEGO had to do to this guy. But they adapted him nicely. Price: 8/10 Like I said, I dished out $25 for this guy, which I think is pretty fair for how limited his release was. Minifigure: 10/10 If LEGO, keeps making figures like this I think it's time I get a job. Parts: 10/10 I just love that new sword mold. It looks like a perfect representation of the movie prop. Total: 47/50 Not a perfect score, but I don't think minifigures really work on a scale like this. Like this review? Want to learn how to make good reviews? Then join the Reviewers Academy!

I got a bunch of the Classic Space minifigures about a year ago, and I figured it was time I put some to good use. They really are good figures for the era. Thanks you two! Glad to see you following along.

Yeah, it's getting a bit old with Haldor not being able to hurt anything!

That polybag looks great! But TRU, you need to have Hobbit sets!

Batte Order: Cronk Haldor

I only have a small bit of LEGO time Sundays as Football is on. So another small one before I go into a huge group of minifigure scale vipers. And I made new, better, shots of the Chima Viper.
