Pchan1983

Nice review. I agree to most of your points except the price XD I wish this is $10 NZD cheaper or they include at least 2 more minifigures =P

Ordered lots of new minifigure heads and new printed parts. The white poop was sold out already but ordered 100 brown poops XD I'm surprised some of the new Ninjago stuff are not even listed.

you're welcome. I usually don't open all of them just feel them and open only one set.

Just opened my box of the minifigures today. The hardest to feel were definitely Green Lantern and Sinestro. The are literally the same except Sinestro has an extra hair piece. My favourites are Joker, Flash, Bubblebee and Batmite. I'm not familiar with DC characters apart from the famous one. I feel this series is not as good as the last two because this doesn't have much new pieces. A bit more new hair piece or accessories would be nicer. I'm happy it comes with 3 complete sets and 5 x Jokers in a box but at the same time this is one of the few series there are figure I don't really want to keep extras.

These are available too. Along side with variations of dual moulded legs and the head with heart shaped sun glasses.

The Elephants Costume, Ice King and Penguins are all available at Auckland Lego Certified Store now. It's available in Auckland too.

Thanks but I got B&P are not currently available message =( .

I like it. For me, any builds in battle pack is not significant as I buy it for the minifigures. I think the minifigures are excellent. Additional arm printings would be nice though. But I like the fact I have 4 unique figures. One thing though, NEED A JET PACK XD. Here is my review too.

Haha, yes I guess that's why they added the trailer as the office for the used cars sales.

Here is my review on the new Lego City 60258 Tuning Workshop: THE GOOD: The dog house and the new bull dog. The tow truck is great building and looks authentic. The trailer has great details and I like the colour scheme. Some great new minifigures. Interesting update to the wielding visor. THE NOT SO GOOD: Overpriced. I hope the workshop actually has a roof. The back of the sign looks really bad with one piece sticking out. One vehicle too many? I really have mixed feelings about this set. I bought it because I got some points to use at Lego Store and really wanted the bull dog. The dog house did not disappointed, in fact it's so good I wish Lego made a polybag with only the dog house and a dog figure. Overpriced set is kinda expected these days but I wonder if dropping one vehicle would lower the price significantly. The biggest problem I have is with the work shop itself, I understand why there is no roof to accommodate the play feature but having a piece sticks out like that at the back of the sign irritates me. Anyway, you do get a few awesome vehicles like the tow truck and the sports car. The minifigures are great too. (Am I the only one thinking Tread Octane looks like Adam Sandler in "Uncut Gems"?) . I will only recommend this set if you are interested in all components included in this set or you are able to get a discount. Otherwise, if you just looking for one or two thing in this then I suggest you wait for it to be in the B&P inventory or bricklink.

It will take another 10 yrs to complete the full cycle of the 12 animals =)

Built the other 2020 Chinese New Year set, here is my review on 80104 Lion Dance: THE GOOD: Excellent design on the lion costumes especially the head, it looks very lively and just the right proportion. Again NO STICKERS! Lots of new exclusive minifigs, love the rat costume guy. Double sided gate! Great podium stage with poles, very useful for Lego Kung Fu tournament. (Watch Jet Li's Once Upon a Time in China then you get what I mean) THE NOT SO GOOD: Can't fault this set again, if I really want to be picky is that it would be nice if we can actually fit minifigures under the lion costumer instead of using just legs. Again, this is another excellent set. I personally like the Temple Fair more but to be honest, if possible I recommend everyone to get both. With no stickers, better availability, reasonable pricing and excellent design, Lego has outdone themselves with these 2 chinese new year set. I really like how lively the lions are looking, would be nice to fit minifigures under it but I'm probably asking too much.

Thanks and yes excellent set indeed. Yup and there is a pile of them when it rolled out in our Lego Certified Store so I think we won't run into shortage this time. Just done my Lion Dance and got blown away again =)

The 2020 Chinese New Year sets have now been released in Asia Pacific region, I immediately got my hands on it this morning and here is my review on it: THE GOOD: Excellent display piece and 14 minifigures! NO STICKERS! YES I REPEAT, NO STICKERS! So many new and great pieces. Fairly interesting builds and I don't think it's for 8+. More like 12+ in my opinion. There are some very nice touch on replicating the authenticity of chinese new year. Seriously, the price is very fair in terms of what you get from it. THE NOT SO GOOD: Can't find any, if there is one probably some of the builds can be repetitive. Overall, I think this is a 10 out of 10 and Lego has set a very high bar for 2020. And not a single stickers, I wonder if Lego will continue this trend. With 14 minifigures and some of them are exclusive, at the current price it just too good of a deal to pass. Great design, fun build (took me 3.5hrs) and so many new pieces as well. More over, this time is not regional specific and will be widely available globally (Jan 10th for US and Europe I believe). I'd totally recommend this set to anyone.

Just bought the 2 microfighters set 75263 and 753264. Was particularly impressed with the Kylo Ren's shuttle microfighter. And great move from Lego to include these two minifigures in cheap sets. Loved it. Here is my review on both. Anyone else loved the new microfighters?

I think it's a good thing if they don't close down, so this gives us the opportunity to order new pieces without waiting until FEB if they become available.

Just built the GWP Christmas Tree. Loved it, I'm surprised with the size and it's perfect for desk display! I think it's even great for Giant Christmas Tree display in a lego city. I wish the threshold for it was a bit lower but never mind because the end results is great.

Interesting they still haven't closed for holiday yet this year ... I remember they closed pretty early in previous years.

Built the 1989 Batmobile - Limited Edition. (the small one) . I'm surprised how well the stand works and absolutely loving this smaller version. I really wish this set is more widely available.

wow, didn't know the disney castle tile is available ... now I need to think should I place another order before end of the year.

I bought 70905 2 years ago and finally opened it to prepare myself for the 1989 batmobile next week. I'm surprised 70905 gave me another printed 1x1 round batman logo piece and the printed BAT MERCH gun. Love the minifigures but the car seems to be a bit bigger than the scale shown in the movie. Here is my full thoughts if you are interested.

May be trolls world tour or minions?

I managed to finish building mine today. Here is my quick video review of it. Turns out the white aren't that bad. THE GOOD: Impressive models and builds. Especially the Triceratops and the rib cage design. The white turned out to be better than the photos. Fun to include a Lego Sapiens. THE NOT-SO GOOD: Would have been better the name plates are printed than stickers but not that big of an issue. The T-rex rib cage would have been better with more gaps between ribs. Overall, I think it's better than I originally thought and I really like it in the end. I might be asking too much if I want the fossil to be same scale as previously released lego dinos but it's going to be extremely challenging to get such build. I'm also surprised the fossils are part of the stand, you cannot seperate the fossil and the stand. Anyway, I do recommend this to everyone who likes Lego.

Exactly. In fact even a search on B&P is dangerous.

I miss the 9v trains and Western theme.
