[REVIEW] 70671 - Lloyd's Journey
WhiteFang replied to makoy's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
Such small sets appeal to me greatly, especially with the white wolf. I am just going for the unique wolf, while the minifigures are pretty useful in its own way. I am just here for the exclusive animal. -
Outstanding review, Makoy. This small set completely appeal to me with its minifigures selection and the useful parts. I am looking forward to pick it up as soon as I can. Thanks for sharing with us.

Thank you Hinckley for the awesome hosting of Forest Mafia 3. Your photos made this whole experience very indulging. For me, it was a short lived but yet enjoyable mafia experience. Perhaps, I am much rusty than before and need to get a few more games coming to dust my engine. Unfortunately I am unable to survive beyond Night 1, due to the Croc aiming me as a kill... Other than that, I had to said that I made a little bit of mistake in my role playing which somehow resulted me in the large target board on my back. Nonetheless, it was fun. Oh well, I am Braxton the Bear! It was a great game and I was rooting for the townie even though I was gone. Past few days were intense and thank you for the fun and incredible mafia experience.

Outstanding review. Do you know this set is inspiring me to go watch Stranger Things on my Netflix account? Got to admit that seeing an original Netflix series in official LEGO is mindblowing. The sheer design is another mastery level which is not an eye trick. Glad to know is strong and sturdy. Thanks Makoy for taking your time to do this top grade review for our EB community.

REVIEW: 71024 LEGO Minifigures - The LEGO Disney Series 2
WhiteFang replied to WhiteFang's topic in LEGO Licensed
Thank you so much everyone for your thoughts and comments. It's great to know that most of you enjoyed this upcoming new series and for some of us, there are some minifigures which still interest you. I am really glad this review also had served an useful purpose to a large number of members too. Nope. Scrooge McDuck's top hat cannot fit on Mickey and Minnie's head. This photos will give you a rough idea. Yes, they are different. Thank you! Hope this photo help. Let's keep our fingers crossed. Well said. I do agree this is a very positive way of viewing these almost duplicates. Unfortunately, my Friends collection is very limited. Hope this photo could be of use. -

REVIEW: 71024 LEGO Minifigures - The LEGO Disney Series 2
WhiteFang replied to WhiteFang's topic in LEGO Licensed
Dear Eurobricks Community, I am very pleased to share with all of you my newest review work on the LEGO Minifigures - LEGO Disney Series 2. It took me almost a week to put this together since I received it from TLG on April Fool. Eurobricks is not the only community doing this review and there are many other communities had released theirs. I sincerely hope my latest reviewing work continue to excite all of you in this highly anticipated LEGO Minifigures Theme. Feel free to leave your thoughts and comments. Thank you. WhiteFang -
Hello everyone, I am very pleased to share my latest reviewing adventure on the brand new LEGO Minifigures - The LEGO Disney 2 Series and it will be available worldwide in May 2019. Special thanks to The LEGO Group (TLG) which comprise of the LEGO CEE and LEGO Collectable Minifigures Design Team for making this reviewing opportunity possible. We also should not forget our EB Ambassador, Jim. My sincere thanks to my wife (Belun) for her dedicated support. It's been nine whole years and it amazed me that I had actually completed 29 exhaustive LEGO pictorial reviews including this current one, solely for the coverage of the LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series / LEGO Minifigures Theme. Following Eurobricks tradition for the past Collectable Minifigures polls, we started with a humble beginning of Series 1 followed by Series 2 in the year 2010 and it continued to spread like wildfire with another three strong waves of minifigures craze in the year 2011, putting Series 3, Series 4 and Series 5 in an excellent harvesting year. In the year 2012, we celebrated with Series 6, Series 7 and recent Series 8. With the year 2013, we had the Series 9, Series 10 and Series 11. In the year 2014, we seen the LEGO Movie Series, The first LEGO Simpsons Series and Series 12. In the year 2015, we had the Series 13, LEGO Simpsons Series 2 and Series 14. In the year 2016, we seen the Series 15, LEGO Disney Series 1 and Series 16. In the year 2017, we have the LEGO Batman Movie Series, Series 17 and LEGO Ninjago Movie Series. In the year 2018, we experienced the LEGO Batman Movie Series 2, Series 18 and LEGO Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Series 1. In the year 2019, we seen the LEGO Movie 2 series. Now, let's see where your vote will bring us for the LEGO Disney 2 series poll statistics. Name: 71024 LEGO Minifigures - LEGO Disney 2 Series Theme: LEGO System / Collectable Minifigures / Disney / Series 2 Year: 2019 Minifigs: 18 unique minifigures Price for 1 box: USD N.A, GBP N.A, EURO N.A, SGD N.A Price for 1 packet: USD N.A, GBP N.A, EURO N.A, SGD N.A Resources: Brickset, BrickLink, Brick Insights An image of an 71024 The LEGO Disney Series 2 The LEGO Minifigures - The LEGO Disney Series 2 followed closely with the previous LEGO Disney Series by utilising the medium blue colour schema. [Reference 1] [Reference 2] [Reference 3] [Reference 4] What could possibly lurk within these mysterious sealed packets? The Disney magic has once again embraced into LEGO CMFs With the recent news release for the LEGO Disney Series 2, the global LEGO communities were very hyped and looking forward to this brand new LEGO Minifigures - LEGO Disney Series 2. This new sequel continued from the LEGO Minifigures - LEGO Disney Series 1 which was first released in 2016. After three years of hiatus, TLG presented with us the second Disney Series which will expand greatly into Disney realm. The Disney Series 2 built upon the same number of 18 minifigures from the previous series and it expanded from current and newly released Disney themes. The Disney Series 2 contained eight major themes for the 18 unique characters which are made up of Vintage Disney, Ducktales, Chip 'N' Dale, Frozen, Aladdin, Hercules, The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Incredibles. We are also pleased to see the expanded Disney characters expanded into previously released themes like the Aladdin and The Incredibles. Both are amazing Disney themes which will interest many fans. There are much exciting things to discover about when I first opened these packets. A few notable things to be very elated about include is the large numbers of unique molds and hairpieces. There are a decent amount of new accessories for the minifigures. Furthermore, almost all the minifgures had back printing and side printing that include arms with two toned printing. These remarkable designs and new additions are very impressive which I will like to draw to your attention in the individual minifigures' showcase. IMPORTANT: Please note that the naming for all 18 minifigures, where applicable, that I have use for this review are likely to be official TLG minifigures naming for the LEGO Minifigures - LEGO Disney 2 Series. In addition, this box is not sealed and the distribution ratio which I have received is based on my received copy. This distribution ratio is not intend to serve as a 100% accurate distribution. I reckon it has a good 98% confidence level. General statistics for 71024 LEGO Disney Series 2 Below is the combination which I have received from my box, 2 Huey (s) 2 Dewey (s) 2 Louie (s) 3 Jafar (s) 3 Jasmine (s) 3 Hercules (s) 3 Sally (s) 3 Jack Skellington (s) 3 Edna Mode (s) 4 Vintage Mickey (s) 4 Vintage Minnie (s) 4 Scrooge McDuck (s) 4 Chip (s) 4 Dale (s) 4 Elsa (s) 4 Anna (s) 4 Hades (s) 4 Frozone (s) Based on the above distribution, I have managed to achieve two full complete sets of 18 one-of-a kind minifigures each. This arrangement will make many LEGO fans pretty frustrated frustrated as there are 24 spare minifigures which can be ideally converted into another complete set. This lessen the incentive by simply buying a mint box or finding your desired minifigures in the wild. I wonder which are the minifigures will be the most popular and hard-to-find for you guys. I would think the three nephews of Scrooge McDuck will be very hard to locate due to its very limited number of appearance. As for the others, I am guessing Hercules might be a little hard to find. The Frozen characters and Chip 'N' Dale is also another high possibility. That's just my speculated guess. Front view comparison of current LEGO Disney Series 2 with the rest of the past CMFs series The LEGO Minifigures Theme is a force not to be reckoned with and remain a very strong contender in the TLG product range since 2010. 30 different releases including regional exclusives are not easy to replicate the craze in many LEGO CMFs followers. So, are you still following the CMFs craze since Day 1? Take a closer look at the following images. This is the front view of The LEGO Disney Series 2 packet, while this shows the back view of it. The new LEGO Minifigures packets are likely to continue in this packaging fashion since the era of Unikitty Series and their back view where some of the content are packed in individual sealed packet. When you open the packet, you will see this amount of content pouring out and the instruction manual is folded and sealed with a tape. Among the 18 minifigures, these are the five minifigures with a separate sealed packet within the building packet. In fact, there are some elements which are kept separately and in this case, it is the minifigures' capes. I guess the reason why the minifigure packet is much bigger is due to accommodate these sealed packets respectively. Simple reminder to my regular CMFs readers. If you are intending to collect the precious and hard-to-find minifigures, hone your skills for the touch and feel method. This is an important skill set in order to locate the minifigures that you want without spending too much money by randomly acquire them, especially so when you are intending to buy large quantities. Your sole mission is to memorise and remember the minifigures assortments for each of the specialised designs. Isolate and identify the most unique accessory or accessories for the particular minifigure. From there, eliminate the torso, head and legs and feel for the other parts. The sole disadvantage of this method is that much time would be wasted if the minifigures that you are looking for have been taken from the box. You might also end up with sore numb thumbs after feeling them. Please be careful and treat the packets with respect when you do the above. Reason being, there are many fragile and soft parts in this series. Front view of The LEGO Disney Series 2 promotional poster Back view of The LEGO Disney Series 2 promotional poster 1) Vintage Mickey Without further ado, let's bring out the first minifigure design and it is the well known popular Mickey Mouse. In this case, we are presented with a Mickey variant in this vintage style. This Vintage Mickey is comprised of monochrome with a slight tint of grey at his legs. His minifigure entry was ought to be a surprising appearance but yet it was quite a huge disappointment, especially for those who owned the recent LEGO IDEAS: 21317 Steamboat Willie. The minifigures are exactly the same from this LEGO IDEAS set which is accompanied with the upcoming second character in this line-up. Somehow, his duplicate appearance could have diluted the LEGO IDEAS set through its minifigure cannibalisation. It is either by owning this Vintage Mickey without the need to own the aforementioned LEGO IDEAS set. It was a mixed feeling for me and I thought it will be better for TLG to position other distinct unique Disney character in this series instead. Parts assortment The parts assortment are average and it can be found in the LEGO IDEAS: 21317 Steamboat Willie. The new Captain hat can be placed on top of Mickey's headpiece. While the ship steering wheel can be used for ship building MOCs. You can view more of the details from the all rounded view inclusive of front, side and back view. Different variants of Mickey I wish to commandeer a ship like this S.S Willie is now under my possession 2) Vintage Minnie The next in line is Vintage Minnie which also faced the same predicament as the earlier Vintage Mickey. The Vintage Minnie can also be found in the LEGO IDEAS: 21317 Steamboat Willie. I really wished it can have some slight unique touch or simply replace it with something much relevant and exciting. Otherwise, fans will just view it as a very simple way of acquiring these classic characters which I am not sure if is actually a good idea to begin with. Perhaps, just thinking out loud. It might be the situation where the cost of production will be better to optimise the same release of designs through other avenues and it just so happen to be under the LEGO Minifigures Theme. To me, I am feeling a bag of mixed feelings. Post-review note: I was informed that the Vintage Mickey and Vintage Minnie had a slight difference in terms of the colours, which is from white to grey from the LEGO IDEAS: 21317 Steamboat Willie. Parts assortment The parts assortment are slightly below average and it can be found in the LEGO IDEAS: 21317 Steamboat Willie. The new lady hat can be placed on top of Minnie's headpiece and it also come with a spare. She also come with a white lifebuoy. The skirt piece with tint of grey and white spots is similar to past Disney skirts designs. You can view more of the details from the all rounded view inclusive of front, side and back view. Different variants of Minnie Mickey & Minnie evolution Do you prefer this variant? Cruising down the riverstream Shipwreck encounter 3) Huey Now, let's focus on the third minifigure in this series which is Huey. He is one of the triplets naughty nephews of Donald Duck and was heavily featured in Ducktales. This Disney cartoon is which I had grew up watching in the late 1980s. His other two companions, Dewey and Louie are featured in this series 2. His design modeled closely with Donald Duck. To represent themselves as children, short leg was used. His red outfit was distinct and closely represented with the original art reference. Parts assortment The parts assortment are slightly above average. Huey comes with the lime green Junior Woodchucks book and this is a modern book design where a 1x2 printed tile can be attached to it. The 1x2 printed tile appear to be a map or some sort of compass which was embedded within the book. Huey comes with a white fluffy duck tail which can be placed at the back of the legs. The red cap can be inserted nicely on top of Huey's headpiece. You can view more of the details from the all rounded view inclusive of front, side and back view. What are you reading? Throw the book over to me 4) Dewey The next Ducktale minifigure is Dewey and is one of the triplets nephews of Donald Duck. They all look very similar and the clothes are the ones which separate them from one another. In this case, I am very fond of the blue outfit of Dewey and he draws fond childhood memories of mine. It is probably because his attire is similar to a mini Donald Duck. Judging by his choice of accessory - slingshot, I can safely guess he is the most mischievous among the trio. Parts assortment The parts assortment are average. Huey comes with a wooden slingshot and there's a spare piece for it. Dewey comes with a white fluffy duck tail which can be placed at the back of the legs. The blue cap can be inserted nicely on top of Dewey's headpiece. You can view more of the details from the all rounded view inclusive of front, side and back view. Join my slingshot club Making new friends 5) Louie The next Ducktale minifigure is Louie and he is last of the triplets nephews of Donald Duck. Louie donned the bright green outfit. The base design is the same as Dewey and Huey. The only differences are their colours of the capes and torsos. Louie concludes the trio and because of their low distribution count. Many people will probably be searching the above three minifigures to complete the entire Ducktales trio as part of their Disney collection. Parts assortment The parts assortment are below average. Huey comes with a flashlight and there is a spare 1x1 round yellow element. Louie comes with a white fluffy duck tail which can be placed at the back of the legs. The green cap can be inserted nicely on top of Louie's headpiece. You can view more of the details from the all rounded view inclusive of front, side and back view. Off we go to another adventure There is nothing left in my stall I sense danger behind us Are you the new mascot? 6) Scrooge McDuck I am also very pleased to see Scrooge McDuck in this series, as it complete the last of Ducktales appearance. Scrooge McDuck is a shrewd businessman and an adventurous treasure hunter. He is a very successful person and yet appeared to be very stingy. He grew his riches from leaps and bounds. The above design showed a very accurate reference to the original artwork and I am particularly fond of the spectacles near its mouth. In the Ducktale series, Scrooge McDuck adopted Donald Duck's trio nephews after he decide to join the Navy. Parts assortment The parts assortment are slightly above average. Scrooge McDuck comes with a new printed printed coin currency of 10 cents and one of which is a spare. He also carry an wooden stick and it also comes with a spare. Scrooge McDuck comes with a white fluffy duck tail which can be placed at the back of the legs. Do notice that his duck tail have the blue tint at its front to match the torso and legs colours. The new black top hat can be inserted nicely on top of his headpiece. You can view more of the details from the all rounded view inclusive of front, side and back view. Ducktales Change of situation Distant relatives Shrewd Businessmen 7) Chip The next Disney Series which we are covering is the Chip 'N' Dale. These may look like primitive chipmunk characters and are often referred as cute stuffy equivalent. Do not fall for their charm. Chip is often portrayed as someone being careful and caution. The actual design is very impressive and it can be instantly recognised as Chip with his distinct dark brown furring. For me, I knew this character through the cartoon series of Chip 'N' Dale: Rescue Rangers. Parts assortment The parts assortment are average. The parts for building an acorn is rather simple but a smart use of using Neville Longbottom's mandrake design minus its print. The entire mold is filled with prints especially around its headpiece and torso. You can view more of the details from the all rounded view inclusive of front, side and back view. Animal Control Did she just cast a transfiguration spell? 8) Dale The next Disney character is Dale and he is part of Chip 'N' Dale series. Dale is often portrayed as someone being laid-back and impulsive. The actual design is very accurate and it can be instantly recognised as Dale with his distinct light nougat furring and red nose. For me, I also knew Dale character through the cartoon series of Chip 'N' Dale: Rescue Rangers. Parts assortment The parts assortment are average. He only carried a brown sack to contain his loot. The entire mold is filled with prints especially around its headpiece and torso. Do notice the red nose and the paint can be easily scrapped off. One of the Dale minifigure's red nose was scrapped a little when I opened the bag out of its sealed content. You can view more of the details from the all rounded view inclusive of front, side and back view. Chip 'N' Dale Shall we exchange our food supplies? Who is the best tag-team? 9) Elsa The next Disney Theme is Frozen and it is very popular among children especially girls. This movie had a very nice ringing and contagious soundtrack. The movie is equally pleasing and I particularly like the ending to it. Presenting my favourite character in this series and it is the Queen Elsa of Arendelle. I am very pleased to see a very proper minifigure to it instead of resorting to get this character through the LEGO Disney Princesses series like the 41148 Elsa's Magical Ice Palace from the LEGO Frozen Theme and the figure are modeled after the Friends mini-doll model. This whole dress is particularly attractive and nicely portrayed as well. Parts assortment The parts assortment are above average.

Meeting the Hogwarts Founders Fighting fire with ice 10) Anna Presenting my next favourite character in this Frozen series and it is Anna who is also the sister of Elsa. I am equally pleased to see a very proper minifigure instead of the Friends doll model. This whole outfit is instantly recognisable and made good reference to the original artwork in her winter outfit. I could imagine using this minifigure well for other medieval MOCs and I trust this will be a popular sought for character as well. Parts assortment The parts assortment are above average. It include the new lamp design which was seen in the recent Harry Potter sets. Her new cape design is pink from both sides. Her braid hairpiece is a new rubbery mold piece. She also comes with a new skirt torso. Her minifigure also encompass detailed printing. Anna also contain an alternate facial expression. You can view more of the details from the all rounded view inclusive of front, side and back view. Let It Go Waiting for someone special Escorting you, my lady 11) Jafar The next Disney Theme is Aladdin and it is expanded from the first Disney Series 1. I find the inclusion of Aladdin is very timely especially with the upcoming Disney blockbuster movie of Aladdin. Jafar is the antagonist of the Aladdin movie. He is the Grand Vizier of Agrabah, the Sultan's most trusted adviser. He is also an evil sorcerer who secretly plots to obtain the Genie's magical oil lamp and rule Agrabah. The design is very accurate to the original artwork to depict his dark red and black outfit. Parts assortment The parts assortment are average.

I am very pleased to see Jasmine appeared in a minifigure than its predecessor from the mini-doll design. She had appeared in other Disney Princess sets in the Aladdin theme. Her princess outfit is very accurately done with the original artwork. I am sure this character will add a good array of minifigure design from bustling marketplace to royalties. Parts assortment The parts assortment are average. It include her new pet bird which was first appeared in the 41161 Aladdin's and Jasmine Palace Adventures. Her long black tied hairpiece is made of soft rubbery material. You can view more of the details from the all rounded view inclusive of front, side and back view. Aladdin How to be a Disney Princess? 13) Hades The next Disney theme is from Hercules and I find it very surprising this theme is included in this series. It was quite an unexpected surprise. Hades is the main antagonist of Hercules animated movie. He is a smooth talker, God of the Underworld with a fiery temper and a vendetta against his eldest brother, Zeus. In secrecy, Hades hatches a scheme to take over Mount Olympus, but a prophecy foretells that a hero will rise against him and end his reign. Hades can be truly employed in various evil looking customisation since his outfit reek of scheming from top to bottom. Parts assortment The parts assortment are average. The flame pieces are common LEGO parts and it also come with a spare. The fiery blue flame on his head cannot be removed from his headpiece as it is glued together. His bottom is similar to Ursula but is entirely a different mold. You can view more of the details from the all rounded view inclusive of front, side and back view. Scheming evil plots Fear and Tremble 14) Hercules Hercules is the main protagonist in this series and he is one of my favourite character in this outfit.

Suggest you to watch the movie to see the actual difference with an open mind. Parts assortment The parts assortment are above average. The swords come in pairs and one of it is a spare. The circular shield is the eye catching and useful medieval piece of accessory. It also bear the symbol of lighting similar to Zeus wield the lighting bolt. It also come with a new light blue cape.

Arena champion Battle of good vs evil 15) Sally The next Disney theme is the Nightmare Before Christmas. I never knew this Tim Burton's movie was part of Disney franchise. It is interesting to see how a fantasy Halloween Town filled with monsters which we are familiar with.

Her rag-doll design with its seem-to-be various patches sewn together are some amazing details in this design. Parts assortment The parts assortment are slightly above average.

The Nightmare Before Christmas Visiting old friends 17) Edna Mode The last Disney theme in this series is the expansion of The Incredibles from the former Disney Series and the recent LEGO Juniors theme of The Incredibles 2. I am very pleased to see an improved design of Edna Mode unlike the one from 30165 Edna Mode polybag. Edna is an outstanding superhero fashion designer and her prized works include the original superheroes designs for the Incredibles family members. Parts assortment The parts assortment are slightly above average. She comes with a pair of white tea cups and one of which is a spare. Her tote bag also included a 1x2 printed title with her own surname and logo printed on it. The excellent hairpiece is done nicely with her eyes expression and spectacles placed in such distinct fashion. Enda mode contain an alternate facial expression and if you done some changes to it with the former, this will be the outcome.

Different variants of Edna Mode Bespectacled fellows Allow me to design your costumes You need a new set of design outfit 18) Frozone The last character in this Disney Series 2 is Frozone from The Incredibles. He is also known as Lucius Best and is one of the supporting characters of The Incredibles. He is the best friend and a close ally of Mr. Incredible. He has the ability to create ice and freeze surfaces with his hands. This character will certainly pleased many fans of The Incredibles which will add right into the midst of the other similar minifigures of The Incredibles. Parts assortment The parts assortment are slightly above average. He is given a pair of transparent energy blasters to simulate ice freezing.The 4x4 circular round disk is a very uncommon piece and I am very pleased to see it appeared as Frozone base. By placing the white jump beneath the disk, it will create an illusion of it floating. You can view more of the details from the all rounded view inclusive of front, side and back view. The Incredibles Please keep my popiscle cold Overwatch Players joined the fray The LEGO Disney 2 series will be launching on 1st May 2019 (worldwide) To conclude, the LEGO Minifigures - The LEGO Disney Series 2 is a specialised CMFs release featuring a total of 18 minifigures with 16 brand new designs of the Disney universe and 2 rehash characters from an existing LEGO IDEAS set. The biggest pull factor is the amazing design and artwork which are closely referenced with the original artwork across these mentioned themes. This second series is an outstanding release is a force not to reckon with which complement well with the first Disney series. On the whole, I would said this is a remarkable release despite of the disappointing distribution ratio of 2 complete sets in a sealed box which resulted in a large number of spares of other characters. Furthermore, I also noted this series lack of the minifigure neck marking which can increased the tightness and grip of the head and neck. This was seen in the previous series of the LEGO Minifigures - LEGO Movie 2 Series. Traditional LEGO CMFs series had always appeal widely to the masses. I really wish to see the next series moving back to its traditional charm. One thing for certain is TLG is not really intending to just focus on the traditional stuff. There are already clear signs in the shift in their marketing and design approach. Time will tell if the change in the LEGO CMFs could sustain and continue to appeal to general public and LEGO fans. It is not an easy theme to continue create, design and introduce many new creative and original designs for each new series. The LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series or known as LEGO Minifigures Theme shall always be a rare commanding class of their own, which distinguish themselves from regular LEGO Theme and special releases. It has been a very long standing tradition and yet they are able to retain the charm and excitement, until today and I am not out of interest yet. Now with a total of 476 minifigures released for the entire Series 1 to 18, the LEGO Movie Series & the LEGO Movie 2 Series, LEGO Simpsons Series 1 to 2, Disney LEGO Minifigures, LEGO Batman Movie series 1 to 2, LEGO Ninjago Movie Series, LEGO Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Series and the current LEGO Disney Series 2, not including Mr. Gold which unfortunately I do not have the blessings or lucky stars to own it till this date, and the special exclusive Toy Soldier and Zombie Skateboarder minifigures that can only be obtained through The Minifigures Character Encyclopedia books respectively. At such accelerated releasing rate, I wonder what is everyone's display plan and if they can keep up with the display shelving area for future expansion. For myself, I had already done a nice display for my own CMFs and with this new series, I had maxed out my current display, as seen above. I will need to work something out in order to accommodate future releases. Meanwhile, I really wonder what exciting new series will TLG have for us. Only time will tell and let's be patient about it. I am confident that it will be worth the wait as always.

Summary review Playability: 10/10 (New LEGO Disney characters which are expanded onto the main stream of sets and the previous Disney series.)Design: 9/10 (High amount of detailed printing, new parts/accessories and alternate facial expressions. The drop of my score is the rehash of Vintage Mickey and Minnie.) Price: 6/10 (Pricing notch for SRP is not out but I guess it will be hovering around SGD$6.50 and distribution ratio is disappointing.)Overall: 8.3/10 (Get ready for another amazing CMFs experience with the new and old characters of LEGO Movie casting.) I gave it a "5" based on my Review Score Card. What about yours? I hope everyone of you enjoyed reading this simple review of mine. Comments and Criticisms are welcomed.

REVIEW: 80101 Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner
WhiteFang replied to WhiteFang's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Dear all, these images are new addition to my new customised printed Chinese Couplets. I bought two sets of them with three couplets as a whole. The part is entirely LEGO part and the print is UV printing which is pretty good. I got this through my friend's assistance who is good to access such Chinese shopping website (my Mandarin is not that good), https://m.tb.cn/h.3Eqi3Oh?sm=851ff3 I reckon is about USD$4 per set. Take a look at these new images. Overall, I felt it added a much better finishing than the official stickers. Just my one cent. -
Thanks guys for your feedback and thoughts. I will certainly take heed and see what I can do for future improvments. I didn’t realise white on white had created so much problems and I only noticed it much later.

Check out this latest MOC scene which is done by our Eurobricks Count, koalayummies. This MOC filled with nice details ranging from the fully equipped jeep to the scientific measuring equipment which is used in the harsh barren desert.

I am so eager to find out what you guys had won from this year and last year. It’s so exciting to guess this mystery!
-
This is very apparent to me for at least the first time. So, I find the quality hard to believe especially coming from a licensed set. I had to be careful with the helmet when I handle the minifigure. That was the most disappointing experience.
-
@Oky, I had just built this amazing set. I really enjoyed it. I will like to check with you if you have any problem with Reinhardt minifigure. It is because my helmet and the head are very loose. The helmet can drop off when I invert the minifigure. So, I like to check if you are also having this same problem as me?
-
Thanks guys for your feedback and comments. The gaps were also there in 75105 if I remember correctly. Thanks for sharing. Didn’t know that the reinforcement is an improved design from the previous MF. Thanks Kristof for sharing your honest views. It is where such constructive critics could help the reviewer to improve for future reviews. I really do welcome such feedback and I know you don’t bear ill intentions. Noted there are a lot of reviews out in the Internet, as outlined by Brick Insights. However, there are nil review for this set on EB. Doing a review does not mean it has to be the latest. It could also be an EOL set. In this way, I do not think it is recommended to only review or share the latest releases as and where it is. Multiple reviews are always welcomed as it offer different perspectives. Agree the photography is not very ideal as the base colour of the model is white and my floodlights had created unnecessary harsh light/shadows only after the photos are being processed when uploaded onto computer. I will take note of it and improve on it further. Noted that the write up may not be coherent at times. I will pay more attention when I put my thoughts together. It may misrepresent wrongly and I apologies if is confusing for you.

Lego Pictorial Review: 75212 Kessel Run Millennium Falcon
WhiteFang posted a topic in Frontpage News
Our Eurobricks Global Moderator and Reviewers Academy Teacher, WhiteFang had just completed this review of the 75212 Kessel Run Millennium Falcon which was featured in the recent SOLO: A Star Wars Story movie. Do take a moment to check out this iconic Millennium Falcon review right here in Eurobricks LEGO Star Wars Themes Forum. Share your thoughts with us if you like this latest design variant as well. Click here to view the 75212 Kessel Run Millennium Falcon review in the Eurobricks LEGO Star Wars Themes forum. -
Hello everyone, This is my fourth review from the LEGO SOLO: A Star Wars Story and I had finally seen the movie. It is a good movie which give me a glimpse of Corellia and other associating new planets but yet fail to live the expectations of other recent Star Wars movie like Rogue One. Well, I am not going to talk much about movie plot for this review. So be rest assured that there are minimum spoilers in this coverage. Previously, I had reviewed the 75209 Han Solo's Landspeeder, 75210 Moloch's Landspeeder and 75215 Cloud-Riders Swoop Bike. This review can only be made possible with LEGO CEE and Eurobricks Ambassador, Jim for facilitating this reviewing opportunity. Although this is a late review to the scene but I still hope you find this review useful. One important thing to note, I am entirely reviewing this with nil Millennium Falcon building experience. I had bought some older variants of Millennium Falcon but I haven't build them yet due to space constrain. Therefore, the experience which I intend to share is from a new builder which TLG seek to inspire a new generation through this iconic design. Furthermore, I am personally pleased to complete my current collection of LEGO SOLO sets with this last addition. Without further ado, let me share the reviewing journey for the legendary kessel run. Name: 75212 Kessel Run Millennium Falcon Theme: LEGO System / Licensed / Star Wars / SOLO: A Star Wars Story Year: 2018 Pieces: 1414 Minifigs: 5 minifigures plus 2 droids Price: USD $169.99, GBP 149.99, EURO 169.99, SGD $279.90 Resources: Brickset, BrickLink, Brick Insights An original box image of the 75212 Kessel Run Millennium Falcon Back view of the original box image of the 75212 Kessel Run Millennium Falcon Inspire a new generation of Star Wars fans This new redesigned Millennium Falcon which is featured in the SOLO: A Star Wars story movie is targeted to create interest with new Star Wars fans through this iconic Millennium Falcon. It was owned by Han Solo which he won from Lando Calrissian in a gamble. This will be explained in this movie. Then, we have Rey taking over the controls from Han Solo in end of Episode 7. Since the start of LEGO Star Wars in 1999, the 7190 Millennium Falcon was the very first minifigure scale play design. Then, it had an improved design and minifigures in 2004 with the 4504 Millennium Falcon. Subsequently in 2007 and 2017 with a decade apart, the largest UCS Millennium Falcon was released under 10179 and 75192. After 2004, TLG had released a version in 2011 under 7965 and in 2015 under 75105. This is indeed a long march since the dawn of LEGO Star Wars where this iconic design had been rehash numerous times. Then, as LEGO fans, are you pleased with this new redesign? Many of us felt the usage of white bricks somehow differ from the original grey parts. For me, I am starting to worry that the white bricks will undergo degrading of white to not-so-white in a few years time. Why the ship is coloured white could suggest a link with Lando. Considering this is the first Millennium Falcon which Lando had acquired at the beginning and modified to his style. It can't be help when Lando set his eyes on the crude freighter and saw its potential beyond just a working-class light freighter. We will move toward The overview of the building process The sealed box came with these building content. The instruction manual and sticker is kept in this manner. The entire built is divided into 10 significant milestones and it took me about 4.5 hours to finish building it. The pacing for entire building experience is excellent and it does not feel too tiring. After the set is built, these are the remaining spare parts. The content also included a sticker sheet. A closer look at the LEGO minifigures from the official box art The newly designed minifigures and droids from the Solo movie Firstly, let's go through the minifigures and droids section. From left, we have the DD-BD droid, Kessel Operations Droid, Quay Tolsite, Qi Ra, Han Solo, Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca. All of the minifigures and droids are unique, except Han Solo and Chewbacca who had reappeared in this SDCC 2018 exclusive of 75512 Millennium Falcon cockpit. These are the minifigures come with alternate facial expressions. I am also pleased these minifigures and droids also came with back printing as well. The main cast of the Millennium Falcon These are the main cast from the Millennium Falcon. Qi Ra minifigure had appeared 3 different designs so far and in this variant, her hairpiece is rubbery. She used to work for Lady Proxima before putting her sad life aside and joined the Crimson Dawn. She is now a capable strategist and advisor to Dryden Vos. Han Solo was a smuggler who became a leader in the Rebel Alliance to restore the Republic and a key leading figure in the defeat of the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War. Han Solo had appeared 41 different designs so far. Chewbacca was captured and was rescued by Han Solo. Ever since, there were best buddies till the end of time. Chewbacca had appeared 7 different designs so far. Before we knew Lando as the keeper of Cloud City, he was actually a smuggler and now aim to retire by becoming a full-time gambler through sabacc. Lando had appeared 7 different designs so far. Do note that his cape is pretty stylish with a navy blue and black borders. The other droids which are included in this set All of these droids are unique to this set and they are actually found in the Kessel Mine. The DD-BD droid was a captured slave to carry out mining operations. Quay Tolsite is a member of the Pyke Syndicate and is the caretaker of the Kessel Mine operations. His minifigure is the most well designed and accurate with the movie reference. The Kessel Operations Droid took care of the main controls and was directed by Quay Tolsite accordingly. Which outfits do you prefer? The entire building content for Packet 1 The completed built for Packet 1 The packet 1 focused largely on the building of the Millennium Falcon base. You can take a closer view of the front and bottom of this building stage. The entire building content for Packet 2 The completed built for Packet 2 Packet 2 focused on the built of Millennium Falcon interior highlights like the cargo hold, bunk, drinks and seating area. You can take a closer look at these various views from the rest area, bunk area and cargo hold. The entire building content for Packet 3 The completed built for Packet 3 Packet 3 is building the interior surroundings which we will see the ship begun to form from the front and side. You can take a closer look from the front view. The entire building content for Packet 4 The completed built for Packet 4 Packet 4 focused on forming sides of the Millennium Falcon and the cockpit base. The entire building content for Packet 5 The completed built for Packet 5 Packet 5 focused on completing the rear engine exhausts and sides of the Millennium Falcon. The entire building content for Packet 6 The completed built for Packet 6 Packet 6 focused on building the side structure including docking entrance pillars. The entire building content for Packet 7 The completed built for Packet 7 Packet 7 focused on building more of the Millennium Falcon's interior. You can view some of the close up images from the front and bottom including the rotating laser cannon. The entire building content for Packet 8 The completed built for Packet 8 Packet 8 focused on building and forming the top opening flaps all around the Millennium Falcon. You can take a closer look from the front view. The entire building content for Packet 9 The completed built for Packet 9 Packet 9 focused on almost completing the Millennium Falcon minus the auxiliary craft at the front. Just by viewing this close up front view, don't you think we are almost complete the building? The entire building content for Packet 10 The completed built of the Millennium Falcon The Millennium Falcon is measured at a height of 11cm high, 48cm length and 30cm wide. The Millennium Falcon is manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation with a model of YT-1300. It has an atmospheric speed of 1200kph and equipped with dorsal and ventral single laser cannon turrets under their weapon arsenal. It just require a crew of two to properly fly the Falcon: pilot and co-pilot. The Cockpit can can seat two extra crew members at the communications and navigational stations which is not seen in the above LEGO model due to space restriction. In case anyone is wondering what exactly is kessel run? The Kessel Run is a legendary navigational route through the chaotic space that surrounds the Kessel planet. The local Si'Klaata Cluster and the Akkadese Maelstorm are shifting systems of dangerous stuff across hyperspace travels. In a nutshell, it is a bloody shortcut with hell of traps and pitfalls along the way just to save precious traveling time. This iconic spacecraft is equipped with state-of-the-art weapon cannons which can be found at the top and bottom of the ship. For increase playability, this model come with dual shooting missiles at the side. This is the rectenna which processes data to assess the Millennium Falcon and its surroundings. It uses passive electromagnetic gathering surfaces as well as active-bounce signals. These are the six dorsal heat vents at the rear of the ship. The igniter is where the fuel combustion output is taking place. This is the iconic cockpit which can also be removed from the front. Do note that the landing gear is non-retractable and it can also be seen here. You can view some of the close up exterior images of the Millennium Falcon from the front view, side view, rear view and bottom view. This Millennium Falcon variant is owned by Lando Calrissian where he had made it his home in space. The forward compartment houses a lounge for the ship crew which includes a drinks bar, holotable for playing dejarik and sound system or control panel. It even had a wide bunk for the crew to sleep comfortably. It has a boarding ramp which enable the crew to enter from inside or outside. A closer view at the top of the Millennium Falcon Opening the top flaps for the Millennium Falcon By opening up the top flaps of the Millennium Falcon exterior, you will be able to notice four distinct sections. namely nearing the cockpit, cargo hold, rest area and drinks counter. This Millennium Falcon variant also included an escape pod bay (configured for 2 pax) which can be launched at beneath the top laser cannon. There is also a stowed auxiliary craft which was never seen in the original Millennium Falcon design. It can be lifted up through this front mechanism. It can be easily slide out from the front and detach from the main spaceship. Let's jump into lightspeed Let's discuss our next course of action A closer look at the rear cargo hold Let's have some drinks first The very first original design of the Millennium Falcon What do you think of this version or variant of the Millennium Falcon? Flying off to a brand new adventure To conclude, this is a pretty decent Millennium Falcon building experience. I love the minifigures' assortment and I have no issues or rant about it. For the Millennium Falcon design, I find it strange to have that auxiliary craft at the front to make it complete and I am pretty sure Han Solo got rid of that feature to shave some weight. My only grip about this Millennium Falcon is the colour of white. I am not fond of having a white Millennium Falcon cutting with blue stripes, knowing the case that it won't go down well in time with the white bricks becoming yellowish. This is pretty tragic and yet unavoidable. Even I manage to hide it away from sunlight, it still manage to get the whole model turning into a piece of yellowish dull crap. I don't have a known solution for this Millennium Falcon and I can understand why they had to design white for the movie and of course to tell others that is not the regular Millennium Falcon which we are getting. Many of the interior features are largely similar with the predecessors. This ship is worthy for display and I am very glad to have it in my collection despite of the colouring. My advise to get it only if you are a great fan of SOLO movie or if you do not own any Millennium Falcon. If you are bend to get the minifigures, getting the Millennium Falcon doesn't warrant the hefty price tag unless you are a Millennium Falcon collector. You don't need so many and I am very pleased to have my third Millennium Falcon in my collection, right after 7965 and 75105. Owning these 2 sets are great enough meaning to show the past, present and future of the Millennium Falcon's evolution. Please note that all opinions and content shown in this Eurobricks pictorial review is from 'WhiteFang' and is not meant to represent LEGO official views. It is purely stated to share as a vantage point of a reviewer. Summary review Playability: 8/10 (Fun playing actions from the exterior and interior of the Millennium Falcon.) Design: 7/10 (Good design of the revamp Millennium Falcon but I am not a fan of white and blue Millennium Falcon.) Price: 7/10 (Price is on the high side and I only encourage you to get it if you are a huge fan of Millennium Falcon design or the movie itself.) Overall: 7.3/10 (I enjoyed the entire building experience and had good fun with it. Get it if you are new to Star Wars and this set is a good one to inspire the next generation) I gave it a "4" based on my Review Score Card. What about yours?

REVIEW: 71023 LEGO Minifigures - The LEGO Movie 2 Series
WhiteFang replied to WhiteFang's topic in Special LEGO Themes
At least from the box which I had received, I managed to get full set of 3. There are more disturbing reports that some of other sealed boxes are reported to have strange distribution numbers as well/. Likewise, I am also interested to know what are the ongoing distribution reports and this is definitely the first of its kind where distribution had widely skewed from the norm.
