    Here is my review on the GWP 40486 Mini Adidas Originals Superstar: THE GOOD: looks great and impressed on how it looks in its side. interesting build overall and some great use of new pieces. Printed tiles for the iconic 3 stripes. THE NOT SO GOOD: It depends on your region but better roll out plan in AU/NZ please. This is a great GWP. To me, it made a better impression than the 1:1 one. I like this colour scheme better too. Having a minifigure is just a nice icing on the cake. I'm also surprised with the overall building experience and Lego did went the extra mile for packaging on this one. I wish the adidas decors are also printed but I probably asking too much. I just hope the roll out / availability of this set can be improved and less stressful. For AU & NZ, this promotion is not yet live on Lego shop at home but it was available when physically purchasing the Adidas Originals Superstar in Certified Store. But they didn't have stock on 1st July so they ended up taking everyone's details and stock finally arrived few days ago. Anyway, totally recommending this to everyone if you can still get hold of this set.

    haven't try with the app, I had very terrible experience with app when they first released. May be I should give it another try. talking about discount, there was 30% off discount the the new sets here in NZ already lol

    I think they intended to be a mixture of it. yes, and I like the idea of the squid playing drum. The torso of the shark and mermaid have very nice printing though. hmm I wonder if this can happen in the same scale. might worth a try.

    thanks, i guess the colour is just these selection it focused on chocolate theme? if they go for a more fruity feel, would have been more colour and more expensive i guess XD

    There is a dual blades chopper, but it was different design! I wish they release the US special set (with white outfit and red guardian) outside US !!!

    Here is another review from me on Vidiyo 43111 Candy Castle Stage: THE GOOD: The bear minifigure is excellent, especially the head piece. I like the mini drum set on stage. THE NOT SO GOOD: Pricing as usual is high for Vidiyo sets. Bland compared to the other 2 Vidiyo sets I own from this wave. This set, it does capture a very pop vibe and nice candy themed stage but definitely not a castle as per the set name. The minifigures are excellent especially the Blue Beary Guitarist, I was surprised to see how they dual moulded the head with the clear blue on top. Some nice touches in the build but compared to the other 2 sets I have from this wave, It does few a bit bland both in terms of the end product and building experience. It's really really an expensive box of pop colour parts pack. Having said that, if this is your first Vidiyo set or for kids that only started collecting Lego, this is not a bad choice if you can get it with a discount.

    yes nice minifig. Vidiyo itself really has lots of great minifigs. Great article. looks like I'm the only few people who like this set. I agree and wish the pricing is 10~20% cheaper but I doubt this will happen =(
  8. Pchan1983
    Understandable. I guess in terms of discount, it depends on how much you get. yes, in general vidiyo are expensive. yup, the 3in1 pirate ship is one great set.

    Another review on Vidiyo sets from me, this time we take a look at 43114 Punk Pirate Ship: THE GOOD: The pirate ship stage looks excellent. The building experience is interesting to keep me engaged. Excellent selections of minifigures. Love the drummer set up. Great with the details in the backstage area. THE NOT SO GOOD: Hard to find something that needed to highlight that is not so good, personally may be a place for mic stand? Could be cheaper but then you often get discount of Vidiyo so eventually not really an issue. This is another good set in my opinion. No matter whether this theme is a success or not, the sets in this wave so far are pretty good in my opinion. This pirate ship does look good with great minifigures. And it's totally feasible as well. (I have seen actual sound stage looks like this). With matching decorations in the background, you can indeed create a customer summer music festival. Pricing often being brought up with Vidiyo sets but with a 15%~25% often, and the overall satisfaction after building it, pricing no longer relevant in my opinion. I totally recommend this set to everyone, I'm not a fan of Vidiyo itself and bought this purely based on the look but so far, I'm really happy with sets I bought so far.

    My elephant body and head arrived. Funny how this arrived earlier than my order 3 orders placed earlier... wondering if it's delay or lost again.
  11. Pchan1983
    Farmers was having 20% off last weekend, and Warehouse did buy one get one half price last saturday. fair point but it's very rare Lego did full gold parts on sets.
  12. Pchan1983
    From NZ, I just call them to request back order. It works pretty well for me.

    Here is my review on LEGO City 60301 Wildlife Rescue Off-roader: THE GOOD: New Animals! Lion, lion cub and the python are all excellent. Great savanna build, looks great too. Doesn't feel like 4+ sets. THE NOT SO GOOD: The off-roader is a bit too big if you compare to other Lego City vehicles. I bought this set purely for the lion but it turns out to be a pretty great 4+ set. The savanna setting build really exceeded my expectation, especially even from the back it looks very natural. In fact, this set is among those more complex 4+ builds. It looks good too. It is also great LEGO included not one but three new animals in a smaller set, and they are great. I really can't find anything to criticise in this set apart from the off-roader is a bit too big to my likings. Recommend this to everyone especially if you are looking for a Lego Lion.

    Probably, VIDIYO pricing is very aggressive down here in NZ for full RRP. The first wave now having 30% discount though.

    Here is my review on VIDIYO 43112 Robo HipHop Car: THE GOOD: Great Minifigures and accessories. Great Printed pieces especially the LED TV with music video playing. Surprisingly great car here. Interesting build with some cool features integrated. If you are collecting beatbits, another 16 of them in this set. THE NOT SO GOOD: Pricing. Although the car is great, the ratio between the front and the back wheel are a bit off but very minor issue here. This is a great set to be honest, it has great minifigures, interesting build, fun and looks nice. Regardless of how rubbish the app is, as a lego set, this is good. I always love new variations of the guitar piece, some great new printed piece as well. The LED TV with musics video playing going to be very useful in MOC. Lego includes a stand of one minifigure and 12 beatbits, but I do wish they also included the beat box case piece. This is also good news if you have bought the beat boxes and try to complete the beat bits collection, since it also include 2 unique ones and 14 assorted ones. So you don't have to buy double of the beat boxes to get more. Price indeed a bit high but I'm pretty sure you can get discount off this. Overall this is a good Lego set and I will recommend this to everyone.

    There are sheeps, the customer rep did ask me and I told them back order them is fine. I ordered on the 11th and when I placed the order both sheeps and elephants were out of stock. I guess Ill have to call them again tomorrow
  17. Pchan1983
    Price shows $0 and said cancelled in the status column :(
  18. Pchan1983
    The elephants in the order has updated to cancelled =(
  19. Pchan1983
    I;ve been calling to update the "Please contact customer service" status on my elephant order, it went to "In Process" after the call and then it goes back to "Please contact customer service" again. Hmm, anyone has similar situation before? I will need to call again tonight.
  20. Pchan1983
    yes, by piece count it's kinda pricey but then there are quite a few big pieces and also lots of animal. If I buy the animals just by itself from brick and pieces that would make up 2/5 of the price.
  21. Pchan1983
    interesting, my order got updated to please contact customer service but they are not available during weekend in NZ to call =( hope it's all good.

    Here is my review on latest 10775 Mickey Mouse And Donald Duck's Farm: THE GOOD: Lots of animals and the new sheep is great! Nice farm outfit torsos for Mickey and Donald. New Mickey Logo piece. Nice printing for the windows. THE NOT SO GOOD: Can't find any to be honest, i guess I would prefer a proper saddle piece for the horse. Overall, I like this very much. It's a decent set. Originally bought this set just for the new sheep but the minifigures and other new pieces are great, also it's not often you get a set at this price with so many different animals. The sheep is actually great and I would like an army of it before it becomes another goat situation (hopefully not). I also wish we could just order more of the Mickey logo piece. I really can't find anything bad on this set. Recommending this to everyone!

    argh I wish I saw this earlier. I just got off the phone to order elephants ... lol. the axe shaped guitar I really want but I don't want the boombox set. I guess will wait for series 2 of bandmates

    Here is my review on 76192 Avengers: Endgame Final Battle: THE GOOD: XCON van is great! Great references to the movie across the build. Big three (Iron Man, Cap, thor) are included in one set! New Thanos big fig, not perfect but way better. Surprisingly powerful missile shooter. Very nice Avengers Coffee table build. THE NOT SO GOOD: The actual avengers compound is still intact despite big debris next to it. The cage of Thanos makes no sense =P Wanda's expression a bit too cheerful and Thor missing his vikings beard. $20 too expensive I guess. Overall, this is a great improvement from the previous Endgame sets. Thanos while it's not perfect, it's a game changer. I now look forward to a Hulk with movable head. The compound build is ok, consistent with the previous avengers compound in previous wave, however, there are a lot of great references to the movies. I also like how they design the avengers coffee table. Although the laser confinement for Thanos doesn't really make sense. Also the main build is a bit too clean while you have big chunk of debris next to it. I'm also surprised on how powerful the missile is. To me, the best part of the build is the XCON van, it's a very nice van and I will totally buy a set with XCON van with Antman and Luis. Great they included the big three in the minifigures, I think it's the first time? The minifigs selection is not perfect (Happy Wanda and no viking beard for Thor) but I'm still satisfied. This is definitely a set for MCU fan and I still recommend to everyone despite the slightly high price tag.
