  1. I like the use of shell as a toilet seat.
  2. Could be they are setting up different parts centre across the globe? as far as I know, the replacement parts are sent from Denmark.
  3. Sorry, it's a different video but a similar thumbnail. let me know if I should remove one as I was not sure if I should link the review in this discussion? I removed opening one earlier.
  4. Here is my video review + feel guide on series 19: 1. Video Game Champ Lovely new game controller piece. (but realise it looks great but not practical because the figure wont be able to hold it both hands XD) Very nicely printed torso. 2. Shower Guy Love the blushing facial expression. Interesting print under the bath towel. Green rubber duck is less useful than the yellow one. 3. Fright Knight Great new clear sword piece. The real gem of this figure is the printed torso underneath the armour. 4. Monkey King Excellent printing and details through out. Surprised to see 2 different facial expressions. Not sure if regions that are not familiar with Journey to West will appreciate the details put into this figure. 5. Programmer Nice easter egg on the torso print. The little robot is also interesting and useful outside CMF. 6. Mummy Queen Nice printings and the print quality is good. Accessory is a bit bland and not really that keen to have 5 of them in a box. 7. Jungle Explorer Great Chameleon! Nice to see new colour of this type of back pack. 8. Fire Fighter I like the new fire fighter cap with hair moulded to it. A big light in terms of accessory. 9. Dog Sitter LEGO POOP! love it! Not one but TWO DOGS!!! Also interesting facial expression too. 10. Pizza Costume Guy Like the new face. Will appeal to food costume collectors but other wise nothing surprising here. I guess every one saw this one coming when the water melon guy released with LEGO MOVIE 2 CMF. 11. Galactic Bounty Hunter Very detailed printing again. Love the use of clear red piece for the tablet. 12. Gardner LEGO flamengo!!! Great new torso prints and legs. Also love the new colour of this hair piece. 13. Rugby Player Love bland at first glance but the facial expressions are brilliant. Would be better to include an extra hair piece. 14. Fox Costume Girl Probably a left over from the LEGO MOVIE 2 CMF? Like the colouring. One of the face expression is really evil if you consider there is a chicken included. 15. Bear Costume Guy Like the face underneath the costume. Great rainbow piece! very useful to combine with the 1x1 square rainbow tile. 16. Mountain Biker Surprised to see a bike included. (Too easy to feel) Great new helmet with hair moulded to it. Overall, I like this series. I'm genuinely surprised on the number of double sided face and animals in this series. Some of the printings are exceptionally well done. It's great to see no more rare figure and if you are looking for the whole box, you do get 3 complete sets. And if you are just looking for individual figure, this series isn't that hard to feel either. Personally, my favourites are the Dog Sitter and the Monkey King. The fright knight's torso printing is a surprise for me, the went extra mile on that. The weakest in my opinion is probably the Mummy Queen but this is just me. It's hard for me to not recommend this to everyone because minifigures are always great. Now time for me to get more extra Dog sitter so I can make some moc heavily feature poops XD
  5. Just picked up my box this morning. Great to see 3 sets in one box again. I love the Monkey King and the dog sitter. In fact, I went out to buy a few more just to get more poops XD. I feel this series is great overall!
  6. Here is my video review on 71044 Disney Train and Station: THE GOOD: The station and the train look stunning. Some very very interesting techniques in the station build. (Love the windows and the nice chairs) The 2 passenger carriages are both excellent both in terms of building experience and how they look. Excellent Minifigures. I was impressed with Mickey and Minnie. Some nice replicas of actual items in the real stations. Printed piece for the box of Disney Castle lego set! THE NOT SO GOOD: OVERPRICED! (especially for NZ, $599 is bit too dramatic) I wish they find a way to cover the wirings connecting the battery box and motor. Some nasty stickers to apply. The red bricks for the exterior are slightly too red in my opinion compare to the photos of the actual Disney Station. The included tracks unable to provide a big enough loop for a satisfied train run given this train is a bit longer and bigger than the typical lego train set. Overall, this is one stunning display model and yes, it is overpriced. I think the fair price in NZ should be just under $500. If you buy batteries and extra tracks for better experience, it will be close to $700. Having a high demand exclusive minifigure like Goofy in this set is a very very "corporate" decision XD Now I kinda relieve they didn't include Pluto. Anyway, apart from the price complain, the other only major negative is the exposed wiring. Other than that, this set is actually fun too build. Yes, the final bag could feel like hitting a wall in the final stage of marathon. However, I like they brought back multiple instruction booklets. One for each major components, this allow simultaneous building experience with your family and friends. There is a sharp contrast in terms of build techniques difficulty between the train and the station, the station is definitely for more advanced builders. In the end, I did not regret my decision to buy this and it was fun building with my wife and I like the end result. I will only recommend this set if you really like this set or a Disney fan though as the price is really a bit of a deal break if you are just looking for casual fun!
  7. I believe so. but i guess your order will be too big for the service centre to take it via phone? XD Not me... tried 3 weeks the same. Fail at final hurdle. The customer service said the typical thing clear cache...etc but I'm pretty sure the certificate used to authorise payment must be mismatched since the migration. I guess just have to wait or do it via the phone (It's a pain to order on phone if it's a order that is so big that I'm worried they make mistake).
  8. If you select edit on the order in your cart, it takes you back to the B&P page with your parts in the cart there.
  9. that require some skills and pretty difficult with my shaky hands =)
  10. Here is my video review on 75895 1974 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0: THE GOOD: Looks great and captures the look of 911. Great minifigure torso with a nice print. I like how they designed the tail lights build. THE NOT SO GOOD: I think Lego needs to come up with a better way for the rear windows. The gap shown by stickers is really not that good. The spoiler is a bit too thick and flat in my opinion. Overall I think this is good addition to the speed champions line. It's one of the few sets that actually capture the look of the real car well. At this price and size, I have no complains and recommend to everyone. As a bonus, you also get a nice minifigure. I still think the F40 is the best so far.
  11. Yes indeed! Given the upcoming CMF with poop piece, I think it's a thing with LEGO recently to go for crap XD Yes, I'm holding off on the Shack at the moment. I really want it ASAP but just like you waiting for the Juice Bar promo. Highly likely the same here ... I already bought the school because of a 20% off promo at toy store near by neighbourhood. That sounds interesting. please share pics when you built it.
  12. Here is my video review on another Hidden Side set, 70423 Paranormal Intercept Bus 3000. THE GOOD: Great minifigures! (This kind of apply to all Hidden Side sets) The school bus is actually look better than in pictures. I like the front, interior and the windows. (although I don't dig the big rear wheel arch) It really gives me a zombie movies vibe. Love the Haunted Toilet's way of attack =P THE NOT SO GOOD: The toilet in non-haunted mode does look a bit incomplete from the top. This is yet another great set in the Hidden Side Theme, I would still rate the shrimp boat and graveyard a bit higher. And if you want to build a school bus, this is a good baseline to refer from. It has the right coloured parts too. Again, the minifigures are top notch. The torso for Jack will be very useful, don't forget the 2 construction workers too. I will recommend this set to you if you like haunted lego themes.
  13. Yes, I wouldn't break the shrimp boat in half because it looks great!
  14. Here is my video review on 70848 Systar Party Crew: THE GOOD: Stardust Benny! Can't believe they actually made it. Unikitty boa scarf, seriously I now wonder why the left out the cape for the wedding ver. Batman. Printed keyboard tiles! THE NOT SO GOOD: The speaker is a bit lame especially given just one. For people in Australia and NZ, this is pretty hard to get. This is actually a great character pack! Stardust benny itself worth the money! And this set is actually good value. On top of that you also get 2 printed keyboard tiles! Unikitty boa scarf is great too, it's unbelievably soft! (LEGO, please give us the cape for the wedding Batman!) . I actually like the dance floor too. Other accessories are kinda miss but parts are always useful. Recommend this to everyone!
  15. same here in New Zealand =(
  16. Thanks. That's a great idea =)
  17. Finally got hold of this set and here is my video review: THE GOOD: The Sparkle Babies! Of Course! Too adorable to not like. Great alternate faces for Lucy and Emmet! Good price! Printed Everything is Awesome piece! THE NOT SO GOOD: The side build and feature is a bit underwhelming. Would like to use the clear take out cup style (the bubble tea cup from NINJAGO MOVIE CMF) instead of current brick built ones. Overall, I think this is a great minifigure pack. At this price ($18 NZD), you get 2 sparkle babies is just ridiculous in my opinion given recent price hike. (The sewer babies cost $25 NZD with less interest build) . Totally recommended to everyone especially if you are a fan of the LEGO baby figure. It's a bit of a hassle to find this set though if you are living in NZ or AUS because rumours say this set will not be available in retail stores. You have to get it from LEGO stores or shop@home (listed out of stock within a day) .
  18. Yes totally agree, Hidden side kinda grow on me too now. Ended up buying a few other sets as well (thanks to some retailers discount). Looking at some rumours, seems like there will be more next year. Can't wait and hope for a D2C may be XD
  19. Yes, The Jonas are great. I just hope Brick & Pieces re-open to other countries ASAP so I can buy extra set of torsos and legs, save me the hassle to switch heads =)
  20. I feel the mini figure for the Disney Train is a bit of let down. Although getting Goofy is nice but we desperately need Pluto! That store has been saying they will open in 2019 since Q4 last year but yet to opened. And they sound like more of a massive reselling website. Plus posting leaked photos on their page several times, so I would probably wait until Lego announced it officially before posting any pics.
  21. Wow, looking at the price... I don't think I will ever spend money on these but your reviews made me want them more... I wish Lego stop making exclusives like this =(
  22. Yes, one of the main reason I bought this set. I have a weak spot with LEGO baby. This Voldemort one is adorable yet creepy. Haha, probably they do. wow @Graupensuppe, that looks cool! Time to spend some time modifying mine tonight =P
  23. Here is my video review for 75958 Beauxbatons' Carriage: THE GOOD: Nice looking carriage with some surprising techniques! TWO Pegasus included!!!! Awesome minifigures. (I believe they are all exclusive to this set) Love the hat piece for Fleur and Gabrielle. THE NOT SO GOOD: Price is a bit high! Would love it to be $60 NZD range. Overall another MAXIMUM EFFORT set from LEGO. Great addition to the theme and actually would also well fitted in non-harry potter settings too. I'm particularly impressed with one of the technique they use to build the interior of the carriage! And the most exciting thing for me is this set includes not just one but TWO Pegasus! I actually bought this set for them =D . I would totally recommend this set to everyone even if you are not a Harry Potter fan, if you can try get it from a retailer that gives you discount!
  24. Absolutely loved this new theme, here is my video review on 70420 Graveyard Mystery: THE GOOD: Excellent graveyard build, simple yet captured the vibe. Excellent minifigures again, I thought it's the same version as the shrimp boat set for Jack and Parker but no, the faces are different and great! I love the details they put into the storage. Subtle but great! THE NOT SO GOOD: The stickers are a bit easy to fall off. (You might noticed in the video) Probably just my one? Would be better if the set up of the graveyard can be adjusted in a modular way but hey, I guess I'm asking for too much and it's not hard to modify it anyway. This is yet another great set from this new HIDDEN SIDE theme. It's good value for your money too. What impresses me with this one and the shrimp boat is that they can integrate into any city-ish theme seamlessly. I do think the shrimp boat set has a better build but this one has its charm. I totally recommend this set to everyone!
  25. Watched Hobbs and Shaw 2 days ago. It's funny. One of the joke is definitely one of the best joke in recent times. loved it. My full thoughts here.
