I am quite flattered. I agree on the tree; I didn't spend nearly enough time thinking through some design aspects. It uses too much studs not on top to be very official, and I think that a bigger cherry blossom tree would be more fitting - it's unfortunate I don't have enough pink pieces. Thanks for pointing that out. I was only considering the price in relation to other Ninjago sets. In comparison to other direct to customer sets it certainly is a much higher cost for its value than usual.

I remember seeing this on flickr. It's an impressive creation, especially after such a long dark age. What I particularly like is how well integrated the dark bley is into the light bley walls. If you need to make the lighting in your models more consistent, the easiest thing to do would be to use some kind of editing software to change the brightness and contrast.

Thanks for the comments. I do agree the name was very strange sounding when I first read it, but I just went with it. Can you see them now? They should be working, since they're now linked directly to flickr.

Ignacia Village Item #: 10234 Ages: 14+ Pieces: 1606 Price: USD $119.99/ EUR €109.99/ CAD $129.99 Year: 2011 Minifigs: 5 Theme: Ninjago! Explore the peaceful side of the Ninjago world! The village of Ignacia lies within the heart of the Ninjago universe, filled with peace and quiet for its humble residents. Stop by the 4 Weapons shop, home to the forging experts of Ninjago, or visit the village's ancient Temple. This action-packed village includes 2 large two-story buildings perfect for completing your Ninjago collection, and is full of surprises and details, such as an impressive array of weapons, minifigures, and accesories, open and close features for both two-story buildings, and a secret light-up forge inside the shop triggered by hitting the target outside. The village also includes a tall water tower, tree, and cart with field worker. Whether you're looking to complement your Ninjago collection or wanting to start one, Ignacia Village is the perfect Japanese-style setting. 4 Weapons shop measures 7" (17 cm) high by 10" (25 cm) wide when open wide! Ancient temple measures over 8.5" (21 cm) high by 12" (30 cm) wide when open wide! Water tower is over 8.5" (21 cm) high! Includes 5 minifigures: blacksmith, field worker, village elder, Nya, and Cole! Here is an overview of the set. When I was deciding what kind of set to make, I thought I would create a set that targets teen and adult fans of Lego to contrast with the kid-friendly craziness of the Ninjago theme; most direct-to-customer sets are made for older audiences. Also note that I did not make up the name for the set; credit for any names in this set goes to the Lego company. This is the "4 Weapons" shop closed from the back (Again, I did not make the name up; I found it on the Ninjago website). I used the pictures on the website for reference, but many changes (particularly on the roof design) had to be made to accommodate for the open and close feature. Here, you can see the temple closed and from the back. The second story (which can be removed from the building) is open from the back but the first story is not. This allows for more playability even when the building is closed. The small steps on the bottom allow the opened building's interior to flow onto the ground (see last picture). When the temple's sides are pulled open, the lower roof rearranges to fit nicely with the front. The back of both buildings. The shop's bottom interior features the blacksmith and his forge, while the second story is a storage room for weapons. The temple's ladder is pulled down from the second story. This was a fun build and I was surprised that the amount of pieces was fairly reasonable despite a heavy use of tiles and bricks, as well as other unorthodox techniques (SNOT for windows particularly); comparing this set to the Medieval Market Village (which has a similar layout/design and contains only 5 less pieces), this set's buildings are quite bigger. Leave your comments and criticisms below! Oh, and don't forget to visit my flickr photostream for more pictures (link).

This is a great set and well worth its price; normally I would be slightly bothered by its price per piece, but it has so many nice pieces. I think the best aspect of the Dino 2010 theme was the color scheme; dark red is certainly hard to find these days, and tan is always welcome.

This is my latest MOC, inspired by the Wipeout video game series. This is my first MOC posted on Eurobricks, so comments and criticism are welcome! It's a replica of the EG-X ship from the game. My flickr page for more views and video.

REVIEW: 7307 Flying Mummy Attack
quy replied to WesternOutlaw's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
I think the most disappointing thing about this set is the price. While this set does have a lot of rare pieces, it looks too small to be worth $20 USD. Only 125 pieces at this price range isn't exactly the best deal - there are some sets at the same price with twice the amount of pieces. If I were to buy this set, I think I would buy it for the mummy wings, since those seem to be hard to get. -
I agree. The Creator sets seem to be getting more expensive and the price per brick ratio is a lot lower. Out of all the new sets that are coming out, I only considered this one because the others weren't good parts packs. I wish they could focus on more bricks of the same color rather than a variety of pieces with different colors which it seems they are trying to give us in the newer sets.

I found this at my local Lego store, and picked it up mainly because I really wanted a light brick and this was the least expensive way to get it. This is my first review on Eurobricks. Set Number: 5764 Set Name: Rescue Robot Theme: Creator Year: 2011 Age: 7-12 Pieces: 149 Price: €14.99 / $16.99 The Box The box is about 26cm x 19cm. The front shows the three models and the light brick on the front. On the top, it shows a list of the bricks included. The back shows the three different models. Inside, there are two instruction manuals and two unnumbered bags. There are lots of nice parts, but nothing really special. The amount of pieces is actually a bit low for a Creator set. These are the most notable pieces in the set. There is a 2x2 curved slope piece in metallic gray/silver, plus two teeth pieces. Also the light brick seems to have some film that needs to be removed before it can be used. Here is the light brick lit up. It has an orange light, not yellow which the box suggests. The front page of the first manual showing how the light brick should be used. Random instruction page. The Build Here are a few shots that I took as I was building. Finished product: Leftover pieces: Here are some pictures of the finished set. It has a lot of joints but limited poseability. Comparison to a minifigure: The build was simple and easy, like all Creator sets. It takes about 10-15 minutes for an experienced builder. There is not much playability, other than the light brick, but it is better than most Creator sets in this price range. This set was a decent parts pack, with lots of hinges and joints, although probably not as good as other Creator sets. The most useful is the light brick, as this is currently the cheapest set that has a light brick in it. I usually like that most Creator sets have a lot of good pieces, and while the models do have some playability features, sets such as this one should only be bought if you're looking for some good joint pieces or you need a light brick. End of Review.
