My Santa? Blocky, hurriedly built and carrying questionable presents.

I really really wish for some time (alone) with a good book. But raffle minifigs are high up on the list too!

Thanks for the good review. The Chima theme is warming up to me with these pictures, I actually think I like the wolves the most of what I've seen this far. They have a feral look. I might get this for the figs, not that big a fan of the pack tracker but ok parts.

Thanks for the review. I was a bit hesitant when I first read about Chima, but seeing the great minifigs etc in this set has turned me around, now I want this :)

Here's my entry, me and Hilma had good fun building this with her favourite minifigs and creations:

1. No 2. Individual appeal 3. "Den lille havfrue" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid_(statue) in copper, including the stone etc. 4. I'd really enjoy a continuation of medieval market village! A baker, chapel, a mill or something similar. Castles we have (or build ourselves), but the houses in the village would be great! 5. Really enjoy the cafe corner, green grocer etc. Backdrop extraordinary and what an inspiration, and something I can enjoy showing off - impresses child and adults alike ;)

It's actually 14 inches from taillights to headlights, 36 cm. This is not including the flimsy antennas protruding forwards. Also, apparently purple is the color of choice in the galaxy these days.

Must have missed those sets or I've been out of the loop a long time :)

Thanks all, glad I could show you the set now when it appeared here. There were some questions about Brick Daddy, aka SPACE PIMP. "Does his head glow in the dark?" Indeed it does, and a mean shade of green too. It doesn't show in the picture here, it was just a cool picture of BD bareheaded. Another dweller here asked about if you could fit other hats/caps onto his head. He has some disadvantages compared to normal yellow minifigs in that his head has some squidlike features, shown here. But alas, he can fit a cap! Atleast one of the new ones. Oh, and a wizards hat too, but I have no pictures of that. No helmets though.

Yesterday I dropped by a toystore in town to look for the PoP sets as I was craving some new bricks (due to the fact that I should be doing other things). They didn't have them, but instead there were the new Kingdom sets and two SP3 sets I had not seen before. Or reviewed here either, so I got the idea to spend my valuable time not studying but building LEGO. When I got home I noticed Jisthekid had already done his review, but here is mine too: Set Number: 5984 Set Name: Lunar Limo Theme: Space Police III Year Released: Summer 2010 Parts: Jisthekid says 391, no info on brickset yet. Minifigs: 3; Brick Daddy, Jawson, Police Officer Price: 499 sKr (BR store, Linköping, Sweden) First, I must say I've really enjoyed the SP3 line. Not that I have all sets but the minifigs have been great and the ships somehow appealing to me with their retro car look. Of the two new sets the store had in stock, the Lunar Limo stood out. Appealing boxart. Didn't I need a crimelord to lead the gang? Absolutely! So with great satisfaction I picked the box from the shelf. The box is quite large. Here admired by a lone farmer who happened to stroll by. Doesn't it look very... pimped? Gold black and purple in a nice combination that matched Brick Daddy's classy clothes. The box had the two punchout helpers for opening, but if you want to spare the box you need to use a knife. Not that hard to accomplish though but there's better ways to open a box if you want to save it. And the back, showing features. It's ok, even though I grew up with the backs that showed alternate models. I guess showing the features of the set sells it to kids, but sometimes the alternates was what thrilled my mind as a kid - "That one would fit perfectly with <insert MOC>". Picture of the side showing the minifigs in the set. A large reason for me buying this instead of Undercover Cruiser. Ahh, emptying the contents on the table... an ancient ritual. Total satisfaction. Here all the contents on the table, including the single manual and DSS. I don't put my stickers on anymore but they look discreet and classy, like the other stickers in the SP3 set so maybe I'll change my mind. They're black, purple and gold and there's no bulletholes or more ganglike markings as Brick Daddy rides in style baby! Oh yeah. Ehum... the bags are numbered from 1-4 and the instructions uses one bag at a time - very handy, I remember when you usually had opened all bags by step 5 in the instruction as it picked parts from different bags all the time. This way I didn't flood my too small buildingsite with parts. Neat. Contents of bag 1: bricks and more bags! And the minifigs ofcourse. No child could stand the wait longer than through the opening of the first bag, so it's a good thing they're here. I have pictures of all the bags content separately and the spare pieces from the bags, but I usually don't enjoy seeing them in reviews myself so if you're interested I can link them. And as I open the smaller bag, even more bags! This one contains Daddy's head and was actually quite tricky to get into, as I didn't want to use force and risk harming the head. All the lovely figs assembled together. I like Jawson too, looks very rough. I guess you need a bunch of henchmen to keep bikers and whatnot in line, and they can act as chauffeurs too. But... look at the police officer! I don't like the new helmets at all, I think they sit to high on the head and cover the mouth and look... bulky. And I've tried to get them to fit lower. Is it just me, or is anyone else having the same problems? Daddy in stylish purple though. His head is not that large so his hat rides low. I like him. A pir of gold epaulettes and a red cape and he's even more pimplike ;) A cane perhaps? Backs: The instructions are easy to follow, it's just one manual wich is good and you can actually easily tell black apart from dark and light gray. Daddy is inspecting the what his money has bought enginewise. It's large, it's got exhausts in gold and an... air intake? Oh well, no alien is wearing any breathingapparatus anyway so we can drop the whole vacuum idea. The whole front of the limo is very sleek and has plates and slopes to make it more smooth. Apart from the figs, no new parts I could tell. I haven't come across this yellow little axelpiece before, it's very similar to a previous part with little teeth on one end - now it's smooth on both sides. It always used to be an aestethic choice on my part wich way to put the teeth (it never showed in the final build but anyway) but now I don't have to. Also, doesn't it look swooshable? Look after bag 2. Jawson likes the idea of getting to drive this monster. Daddy rides in style, wich includes not only his flashy Lunar Limo exterior but a nice seat for him too. The main hull of the limo is six studs wide, the same as many new town cars and trucks. This makes it easy to position the minifigs inside, even though they still doesn't ride side by side. And Daddy wouldn't want to have it that way either, he rides in the back - driven by his lackeys. The front and back parts of the hull connects like so, and then you strengthen this with windows and minor SNOT on the sides. It's not possible to easily separate later on, though will come in handy when storing in a box for transport. The limo is long! Swoosh? Hmm, not really. Here, it starts to get a bit flimsy for it's length (just a feeling, theu build is sturdy). More on this later. The poor officer realises that with an engine like this, he'll never be able to catch up on foot. He'll need a ride himself, but he aint gettin any! It's good he's included anyway, for playability if nothing else. Underside. The howerstuds dosn't get it airborne enough though it makes for a smooth ride on my table. The completed set! The build was quite easy, no hard techniques. Looks good but lacks that little extra. I think that with a ship this long, it has to have some more weight to it. I think it definately needs a MOCed underside with a bunch of black slopes, tubes etc. The greebling on the ship itself is decent and in stylish gold wich fits the overall feel well. I can really see this ship flanked by the black gangster ship in 5973 Hyperspeed Pursuit :) So, verdict? The price seems a little steep for the parts but it's been that way lately. Minifigs... well Brick Daddy steals the show here. He looks like a 70's pimp in purple, it fits him well. He's not as cool as the red alien from the SP Headquarters though close, and I can't see how additional minifigs could have added to this set. The build was nothing special and will not be hard for kids. Black parts is always usable and I like the slopes. The final build is true to the boxart but feels a bit lacking as I've said earlier though it's sturdy. Playwise it's lacking in guns for a ship this size but that's easily moddable I guess :) Oh, and the ejecting shooter in front, completely forgot that (since I'm no fan of it though know that kids like them). Still, maybe I feel it's a little pricey for what you get. If you want Daddy it's a must (since he only appears here as of yet) and if you want a lead car/ship, but otherwise? Nah. 3/5 from me. Still has a menacing front. The SP in the back notices a broken taillight and turns around... The roof rides as low as Daddy's hat. "Sir, could you step out of the vehicle? Yes, out. No, there's ground to stand on no problem. What? No! Outside, sir!" "What's this farmer and the prize pig doing in your trunk? You'll have to come with me to the station" This is where Daddy will use his little speeder to escape, but otherwise I don't see why he needs it. If he can't escape in his large ship he'll be overtaken in his small. Though it's probably good for cramped spaces, it's not big but packs a ferocious gatlinggun. Well there's the review. So what do you think of the latest wave in the SP3 line?

Oh, but one important question has not been asked nor answered - is it possible to "feel" what minifig is in the bag before you open (or even buy..) it? It would spare me a lot of clowns, divers etc. Though if you can only order these from TLG, this will not be an issue.

Nice review! I really liked the videoformat, with the pictures of the real guns alongside the brickarms version. Also, your voice presented itself nicely. Good flow in the narrating. My personal favourite of these weapons is the MP5, it's a nice size for my minifigs. A problem with some other weaponmodels is that they doesn't retain enough brickish feel. The assultrifle (forgot the name) carries this flaw in my opinion. But I really really like brickarms accessories. My interstellar marines needs more! Again, thanks for the effort and the nice review.

I bet the people visiting BrickCon liked it a lot too It's amazing. Very.. steampunk or postapocalyptic. I haven't read the Hungry Cities books but I've seen the covers in my bookshop some time ago and I thought of them when I saw this. Maybe I'll have to read them too, or atleast see the movie when it's finished. I really like the industrial look of the legs and wheels. The suspension really works? Wow... you have a picture of the city going over some obstacle? It's very eco-friendly too with solar- and air power.. I'd have liked a large boiler or similar "dirty" powergenerator too, but I really like the garden. All the little minifigs growing their own food in their mobile city. Anyway, great MOC. Truly inspirational!

Great review. I always liked the playability, connecting and disconnecting modules while making whirring noises myself. It's great that the front part was a more agile craft too, and the lab that could be left as makeshift base on a faraway couch. It's an epic set.

Oh nice. I remember playing with most of those sets... the memories :) I actually think that the parts still lies at my parents house. I'll have to check that the next time I visit them.

Well...? They are all excellent ideas! So, show us some pictures!

!!! It took me a short while before I understood that a prize wasn't one minifig chosen from the ones shown. Eurobricks and Copmike have outdone themselves, thanks a lot. It's no wonder EB sorts so high under my "most visited" sites :)

That's a large SHIP Oh, I want to build my own now, but I gues it'll be just a smaller version. So, is it a crew of 4 plus the MPT's? Who's manning the mobile guns?

It's a nice battlescene with a good feeling of action. I especially like the red+blue colorscheme for the soldiers, and just enough extra detail like rocks on the ground. The trampled flowers are a nice touch, but I'm not 100% sure if they're distracting. Anyway, great scene.
