  1. Here is my video on the latest safari sub-theme 60300 Wildlife Rescue ATV: THE GOOD: Turning action works surprisingly well. Includes not one but TWO monkeys. The new monkeys are cute. New printed pieces. THE NOT SO GOOD: May be include a hair piece for the minifigure? Wish the monkeys can hold their poops. Overall, I think this is a great small set and a great way to get the new monkeys in a very cheap way. In fact, I appreciate LEGO includes not one but TWO monkeys in this set. It also comes with 2 pieces of poops too XD. Unfortunately, the monkeys can't hold the poops. The ATV though is a nice surprise, the turning action works surprisingly well, I'm pretty sure this will be utilised more in the upcoming stunts sub-theme. Also, I love the printed drone control as well. Really can't fault this set, recommend to everyone =)
  2. My box got 3 completed sets, I was worried after a few got only 2 sets. Anyway, I kinda like it. I know scale is a bit off for some characters but I have to admit on its own they are good. And love the cheese slope piece! Just wonder if it's only NZ has delayed release outside LEGO stores? All local retailers only received their stock in late May ... hmm
  3. argh sheep already out of stock... Lion too. Sadly big elephants is $0.00 ....
  4. Really like the polybag and wish LEGO release a few more under the minion theme!
  5. Don't worry, it will be 20%~40% off soon in the next round of clearance.
  6. Here is my review on 10292 F.R.I.E.N.D.S The Apartments: THE GOOD: Spacious to place minifigures in different situation. Foosball table and some of the furnitures are great little build. Love both kitchens. Great new version of the characters in minifigure form. THE NOT SO GOOD: Building experience not as fresh as The Central Perks Cafe. Overall, it's really a set for the fans of the tv series. I personally not a fan but watched it on TV back in the days, so the experience during build and after building is quite different compare to let's say any MCU sets. I would have give it full marks if I did not own the Central Perks Cafe. There are lots of building techniques already been done, and I do feel the Central Perks one is a bit more complex and the end product is more lively. Having said that, I still has a good time and surprised with size of this. And considering Seinfields set is also on the way, we may able to build our own TV studios in LEGO. The minifigures are excellent and it's always good to get new version of any characters. (but sad LEGO cut corner for not wearable turkey XD) The highlights for me are definitely the foosball table and both kitchens, I feel there are not of great stuff being hidden there and only appreciate it when you actually built it. You will love this set if you are a fan of the series, but if you are like me, I will still recommend this set but will rate the Central Perks higher and the pricing of this one is also slightly on the higher end, especially in NZ =(
  7. Thanks! will just have to wait.
  8. anyone knows when the Shang-Chi sets will be available in AU/NZ? I saw it available in US and Asia but it's not even on Lego.com for AU NZ yet.
  9. I like this 4+ set with the printed washing machine. Low cost way to get extra minions too. I wonder if there are more sets next year.
  10. Here is my review on 76188 the 1966 Batmobile: THE GOOD: Although there are some slight difference but great to get 1966 batmobile in a standalone set. Great joker minifigure. Improved display stand. Very interesting building techniques on both the front and back bumpers. The batmobile does look great and really capture the vibe of the real thing. THE NOT SO GOOD: No Robin. Batman skin tone too pale. Hard to apply stickers. The replacement parts for the stud shooters not easy to change. I'm so happy they releases this 1966 batmobile by itself, especially I was so tempted to get that batcave back then but I managed to control my urge to collect everything. The batmobile is excellent and I like they improved the display stand as the 1989 batmobile GWP often falls off the stand. The minifigures are great but Lego really need to improve the printing on dark colour head piece. Overall I enjoy the build and happy with the results. Despite common flaws with print and stickers, I still recommend this to everyone as it's a great set in summary =)
  11. Finally after a year delay, here is my review on 75550 Minions Kung Fu Battle: THE GOOD: The set actually looks great and will fit very well with the chinese new year temple festival from last year. Surprising new printed element, looks like shin ryu from Dragon Ball. Great mini dragon dance build. Cool action features. THE NOT SO GOOD: No way to have the just one minifigure stands on flat surface with falling when holding the dragon dance but I guess this is expected =P Overall, I like this set. It's probably a runner up if compared to the buildable minons set. I really like the look of it and really surprised with the new printed tile. I thought it's gonna be stickers when they first annouced this. I like the action features and the minifigures included. Otto looks really cute but of cos this is subject to if you like Minions or not. The price while is on the high end, given it is not uncommon to get discount off this, pricing ain't that bad to be honest. anyway, I think this is a good set includes great minifigs and some cool stuff which I will recommend to everyone.
  12. The minifigures are pretty tight on their stands. I even struggle to pull them out at one point. I got this when it first released in 2000, and I like to keep things looking new =)
  13. oh you mean the new market store already has it? or photos on IG?
  14. I can't believe this set released 20+ years ago. Here is my review on 3409 Championship Challenge. THE GOOD: Fun set for everyone and football fans. The shooting mechanism works really well. Great utilisation of pieces to create the goal and using net for goal net. Added as much variations of face as they can at the time of production to give characters to each team. THE NOT SO GOOD: Can't really find any fault given the set is really selling the unlimited possibilities of the play feature. Overall, this is a great play set. It's definitely not a set for you if you are into building experience. I like how the shooting mechanism works. It's also great to see how easily they can make a goal with the limited piece variations back then. I definitely look at this set differently compared to how I would see it 20 years ago. It's great they included 2 teams for obvious reasons and I'm surprised how long those stickers last! All I say is I still like this set and would recommend to all football fans or if you looking for something that you can have fun with friends and family.
  15. I bought this like 2 years ago for the Ostrich and finally opened it today and I like it. I agree with your rating, it's actually a very good set. Can't believe this has been out for over 10 years.
  16. Good, hopefully we get another installment!
  17. Here is my review on 71747 The Keeper's Village from Ninjago: THE GOOD: Great looking set. Interesting build techniques through out. Great design in the dragon head. Excellent printings on minifigures. Some nice new elements like the piece on top of the statue and the printed sheilds. THE NOT SO GOOD: The price. My own preference but I would want more tribe person instead of 3 ninjas. Overall, I like this set a lot. It reminds me of island people from the old pirate theme. This set does look really good although it's not really a village. I enjoyed the building experience a lot especially the dragon head and the throne chair. The printed shield does look like Godzilla and I wish they included more new elements like that. Although the minifigures are great I do wish they swap on ninja for one more village people as this theme does not have many sets, it's a mission to build an army of this tribe given B&P recently does not sell much Ninjago pieces. The price is on the higher end and I do wish it is $20NZD cheaper but in the end I'm very satisfied with the outcome and still recommend this set to everyone.
  18. Took me awhile but finally opened it. I have the same thoughts of the bumper build. I wish they have more chrome colour parts like the original design did. And it's actually a lot more longer than I have expected when looking at it from above.
  19. Just built mine and very happy! Great display piece in just the right size. The minifugres are so adorable but my favourite is the bees!
  20. Yes, great way to use those gold colour parts you bought from B&P too =)
  21. Do it, probably buy 5 to make a massive mountain =)
  22. I started to like the whole BeatBox Concept. Price aside, I found it a very good way to display the minifgure and can easily modify to other themes. And on a plus side, all 6 minifigures are great. Good that most of the shops here are selling at 15% off at least.
  23. I also noticed it hasn't been released in ASIA, probably to do with the Music Licenses or they want to secure local musics ? and it's coming in few months... my wallet can't catch up XD.
  24. Just opened my box. Looks like each minifigures are positioned at the same place in both rows in one box. Anyone know how many variations of the beatbits tiles are there? I find it to be much harder to collect these. By the one the blind box package kinda grow on me slowly. I know it took away the fun of bag feeling but I like it when I open the box all the blind boxes lined up perfectly XD
  25. The movie now delayed to 2022… I wonder if the sets going to be delayed again ???
