  1. I agreed. Luckily, there are some other nice existing suit torsos to change the groom's outfit. You ought to share with us too! I am looking forward to read your thoughts about this wonderful set. I am also pleased to note that this set appears in Australia as well. Thank goodness, this was not exclusive to LEGOLAND stores. Congrats nicoga3000! I also had it placed on my office desk and it attracted positive comments from non-LEGO fans. Definitely so! It is unique in its own class.
  2. Hello everyone, I am pleased to share with all of you another new fantastical LEGO Lifestyle set. Most of the time, I don't review these LEGO Lifestyle sets but this particular set has definitely arouse lots of interest and perhaps to many others as well, especially those City aficionados. Without further ado, let me bring you a journey that "most" of us will have to go through one day. Name: 853340 Minifigure Wedding Favour Set Theme: Miscellaneous Year: 2011 Pieces: 24 Minifigs: 2 minifigures Price: USD $9.99, GBP 6.99, EURO N.A, SGD $13.90 Resources: Brickset, BrickLink An original box image of the 853340 Minifigure Wedding Favour Set Back view of the original box image of the 853340 Minifigure Wedding Favour Set Wedding Bells! Well, it's definitely in life that "wedding" is one of the most important milestones that you will encounter in your life. A bond between both parties, known as the Groom and the Bride, ultimately Husband and Wife respectively. This is something which we have to embrace in life and I am pretty certain none of us will have expected to see this particular LEGO Lifestyle set, making into the limelight of wedding mood through the unique usage of minifigures wedding favours. I must admit that this is a superb idea and if I am actually considering doing one, provided if I can afford the budget to do so. Because most of the time, you will need to give to at least 200 guests and imagine the grand total for the wedding favours. IMHO, I don't think it is economical to do so, especially it's 6 times the price of a typical wedding favours that you will see in banquets. However, this is still an ideal wedding favour to be given out in a wedding dinner, especially if the other party like LEGO, have the budget and agrees to do so. Instruction Manual The LEGO building content There are few LEGO building parts and it's mainly for assembling the minifigures together. The stand and the decoration take up most of the space in the box. Looking at the content of the wedding stand As you can see, the separate leaflet has indicated that the wedding stand is meant to be used for "table decoration" and in most cases, it is used as a form of gift in wedding dinners or receptions to give to the guests as wedding favours. So, let's see how we can put this together. Putting them together By peeling the tape on the open-ends, it will enable them the 2 parts to be stick together through the use of 3M effective sticky paste solution. Not much of a hassle and the instruction manual below shows it all. For sure, I am not going to try out with mine set but I will trust that 3M products will have much lasting stick compared to other generic kinds. Putting the parts together The LEGO building elements As you can see, most of the parts are meant to build the minifigures together except for some white plates. In fact, most of the white plates are meant for the bride too. Read on to find out more. What type of flowers do you prefer? Obviously, the bride can have a choice to select her own preference for her boutique of flowers or placed the different variety together for a better appeal. The Bride and the Groom Just take a moment and look at their joyful expressions! The bride is very pretty in her wedding gown, plus the fact that it actually comes with a veil to cover her head and tiara on top. No doubt, the main highlight is focusing on the bride's outfit. The back of her dress is fantastic, while the entire dress is extended by the white cheese-slopes. I simply can't take my eyes off her. What's best of all, it even comes with 2 additional different hairdo colours to complement the bride. You can pick your own choice and to me, I think it's great to stock up more of the LEGO female hairpieces. On the other hand, the Groom is not very special. There are no new parts for the groom's outfit. Furthermore, the groom's torso is the same as the 8683 Series 1 - Magician. I wished TLG had actually came out a new groom outfit for this fellow. Despite of the typical groom's outfit, it is still up to us to customise the outfits and expressions for both of them! I think it's fun that this set provided a very good foundation for a wedding minifigures template for one to customise with. Which hairdo fits your bride the best? The completed set! The happy blissful LEGO wedding couple! To conclude, I totally enjoyed this set very much especially the entire concept despite of the fact that it is a LEGO Lifestyle product. In fact, this product far exceeds my expectations and scored high in many aspects. More importantly, apart from the wedding couple that was first found in the 10184 Town Plan which was put together through existing LEGO parts, this one have a brand new wedding gown for the bride. It's inexpensive, considering that it's a small-sized LEGO set and it can be used as an ideal gift for the newly weds. I am intending to give one to one of my newly wed friends and I do think that it will make a wonderful gift too. Except that I will think it is very costly and expensive to use it as actual wedding favours. An outstanding set with good amount of minifigures' accessories except for the groom which I kind of dislike. Other than that, this will be one of the set that I will acquire multiples of it. Summary review Playability: 9/10 (Good to integrate it with your LEGO City and Town set-up.) Design: 9/10 (Everything is good plus the extra hairdos' parts, but the groom's torso doesn't scored well.) Price: 9/10 (Inexpensive LEGO set but definitely expensive to acquire it as wedding favour.) Overall: 9/10 (If you ever see it, just grab it without any hesistation.) I gave it a "5" based on my Review Score Card. What about yours? I hope every one of you enjoyed reading this simple review of mine. Comments and Criticisms are strongly welcomed.

  3. Now I really wish we can all be friends but the sad fact is, it's hard for us to trust one another fully. I dislike the squabbling too.
  4. Thank you for helping to post this coverage!
  5. Access granted. Welcome to Reviewers Academy.
  6. Oh great, now what a mess we are in right now! I hate the idea of "sacrificing" to whatsoever greater beings out there. This is total crappiness. Don't know how we should go about sniffing those cultists out. I really hope we can get out of this mess in one piece.
  7. Voted for Emma, the designer.
  8. You outdone yourself again! It's absolute amazing with lots of complex building techniques in there especially the rock formation. Pure incredible.
  9. The medieval stuff are simply wonderful. Keep up the good work!
  10. This is totally speechless.... Don't they ever notice, we got our own sets of polling topics for Series 1 to 3 and the results doesn't even goes near there. This is crap with the exception of the Elf. Series 1 poll Series 2 poll Series 3 poll

  15. Another enjoyable review! I really enjoying looking at these new elements especially the new animals!
  16. Another great cinematic EB profile!

  17. Splendid review ever! Thank you Pandora. I never into Friends theme yet, but seeing so many great reviews recently has kind of tilt my interest a little bit more. For sure, I am picking up this as I am always fond of town houses and the interior is fabulastic. I am excited about those new elements! Detailed review as ever!
  18. I am suspecting and inclined to think that the LEGO Friends are modelling on what girls are thinking based on the liking of dollhouses which are very detailed in their designs and layout.
  19. So, what do you think of the new LEGO Friends? If you have not make a stand, then take a moment to read the latest review done by our humorous Eurobricks Root Admin, Hinckley, who has put this together for this new 3061 City Park Café review. Click here to view this review.
  20. You..... Lazy Hinck. It was definitely an enjoyable review to read. I really like the comparisons for the different minifigures that you have done for Friends' specialised parts. You made it so much fitting and nice. Certainly complements one another on the System minifigures. I am not a huge fan of Friends yet but after seeing this, it kind of influenced me on the liking department.
  21. Absolute well done rendition of the Bleach main characters in miniland scale. I am glad you had captured those details in there.
  22. This is totally great! I had a good laugh when I saw the MOC itself without the bubbles and after seeing the bubbles.
  23. Happy Belated Birthday, my friend!
