Hmm I really didn't like the idea of Microfighters and the results haven't changed my mind but this one looks kinda cute (along with MF and ISD). Thanks for the pics also can't argue with that

It's TLGs chose for the special forces clone troopers, the blue version in JEK14's starfighter had stormtrooper helmet too, I think it looks great, gives a whole different look for clone troops. Hmm I thought by grey they meant that there won't be orange marks but grey ones on the speeder. But if I go with your theory it would be better, I only have the first blocky snowspeeder (which is still my favourite) which was grey and it looks better in grey IMO.

Whoaa! The best LEgo Wall-E I've ever seen, the rusty parts on the body are very well done! Congrats!

It's a very good question. I don't think it would hurt so much as I imagined when first thought about it. I mean they just release the same vehicles over and over again with new parts and better printed figs. One can easily apply the new pieces and building techniques into an older version to create a modernised SW model. Nowadays it feels like a rip-off, buying a set that you technically not own, yet you almost have a copy of it, but you buy it for the new figs eventually. Although this system has a good side as well, those who just started collecting Lego or got back from the dark ages may missed the certain vehicle/building and can get the new edition. Still I don't worry about TLG stops releasing SW sets since it's one of their main themes, and I don't know for sure but I bet that this line is the most productive. And knowing that fact I can't imagine how I would really feel if TLG stopped producing the SW line.

If you are referring to this then it only appeared in the new 2014 winter set line of Chima and SW. So it's a new part and quite a useful one IMO.

Oh Oky the PoTC one was great, when I first saw the Desolation of Smaug trailer I thought that's Orlando and then I realised that he can't be

I see what you are talking about, I myself think the same too about the arms, but I think the aesthetics had to sacrificed for the smoothly working claw-opening function.

Thanks for all the information Pablo94! I'am really curious about the Rebels sets, I read that they could be combined a few pages back, but I still don't know if that's true. The snowspeeder is a very useless set for me, TLG constantly releases one every 2 year almost... It's boring while there are still ships that we haven't seen in Lego. The ISD is still in the center of my curiousity, I was so sad that I missed the 6211, but now I'm relieved that I can get a better, more detailed Official Star Destroyer. About the B-wing I'll wait for the pics until I say anything about it, on of my favourite rebel ships, but every editions had the same flaw (The middle-bottom wing was only detailed on one side and on the other you could see the bottom of the plates and bricks), except the UCS, and I hope TLG will not include that in this one.

Nice one Very cute MOC, I hate the movie but it's a very good MOC nevertheless.

I really like the show, it would be great if TLG brought back the Avatar if only for just a few sets. Also I really like how the spirit's look, I haven't seen those episodes but they have an interestin shape and pattern. I'm sorry I don't like the look of home made figs but the clothings are very well done.

Oky your last one with april, got me thinking for a sec, then boom, since then I'm holding my head, killer one

Oh that would be a strong kick in the stomach for those who bought those helmets for a fortune. ALso it's strange to see that the AT-AT and the ISD is coming with so few figures. A set in that size usually comes with around 7-9 figs not 4-5 . Moreover there is nothing special among those figs, just imperial crew (I hope that some of them will have new mold or print at least). Anyway the ISD is very tempting, I really liked the 6211 and couldn't afford it back then, so I really look forward to the new one.

Really nice builds and redesigns. I have to say that your Falcon is particularly well done, very great details on that and on the Outrider, the rest are good as well, but these 2 are most excellent.

Oh Im sorry, I only meant it strictly for the official figures with their helmet. Ive seen some MOCs as well using Chima figure heads and they look awesome. I'am sorry I haven't described thoroughly what I mean in the review, I just realised it. Thanks for the comment!

Yes I did that because i didn't liked that the tail is coming so forward. This way itt has a more natural positioning by bent back and it is balanced like that and stays in place . Although you are right, if I bent the stinger forward like the BI shows it sinks down without the lock

Here is my another review from the new Chima set line, this time I’ll be reviewing Scorm’s Scorpion Stinger (quite the alliteration), I hope you will enjoy it and helps you get a thorough view of the set. Set Information Set Number: 70132 Pieces: 434 Minifigures: 3 Price: £34.99 / US$39.99 / EUR 39.99 / 11990 HUF Age range: 8-14 Set Description Avoid the poison balls launched by Scorm’s Scorpion Stinger! Scorm, King of Scorpions, has stolen some CHI and the other tribes are determined to get it back. But first they must avoid the massive poisonous claws and mouth of Scorm’s speedy tri-wheel Scorpion Stinger. Help the armored tribal warriors Cragger and Laval to attack with their Scale Ripper and Shado Valious sword and steer clear of poison balls fired into their path. Beware of the Stinger’s flexible stinging tail jabbing down and escape with the CHI! Includes 3 minifigures with assorted weapons and accessories: Scorm, and Laval and Cragger in their new armor. Includes 3 minifigures with assorted weapons and accessories: Scorm, and Laval and Cragger in their new armor Features huge poisonous claws, biting mouth, opening and closing cockpit, flexible stinger with poison ball launcher, 2 poison ball ammunition cases, scorpion detailing and all-terrain wheels Weapons include Laval’s Shado Valious sword, Cragger’s Scale Ripper and Scorm’s Korrodor Accessories include new armor for Cragger and Laval plus a shield for Laval Grab minifigures in the Scorpion Stinger’s mouth Stow poison balls in the special holder Fire poison balls from the high-powered stinger launcher Pick up tribal warriors with the poisonous claws Knock attackers flying with the flexible stinger Speed away with the CHI Take the weapons off the Stinger and use as hand guns Grab and launch the CHI grenades from Laval’s backpack Measures over 5" (15cm) high, 12" (32cm) long and 11" (30cm) wide Box The box is quite large as it is one of the bigger sets from the new wave. This being the europian version only shows the set number, name and the age range. As you can see the Chima logo is new with bright lime green color and red spikes. Usually in the upper right corner we see the actual hero of the set but here Scorm’s head is presented with a shadowy look. The box shows Cragger and Laval running against a giant Scorpion car (are they crazy?) that is going to roll over them. The background is a foggy jungle. The back of the box is showing us the play functions described in 6 languages and shown in three boxes. There is another image which shows that Laval and Cragger is not so crazy after all and they flee from the Scorpion Stinger. And there is a picture which informs us that we get 5 Zamor spheres. Finally in the upper right corner we can see a Chima online game ad. On the top of the box we can see the 3 minifigs and Laval is shown is real 1:1 size. Content We get 4 numbered and one unnumbered bag, a DSS and two Instrucion booklets. The unnumbered bag contains the claws, Chi tubes and the rear wheel. There are really killer stickers here, they look insanely awesome and certainly add to the overall look. Minifigs First let’s start with the star of the set; Scorm, king of scorpions. He has a very detailed body printing, which looks a bit like a persian noble’s robe. The gold and black color scheme is very nice. Here he is with his unigue armor which comes only in this set, it looks wonderful and looks more like an ancient emperor here. His head is only one sided and the same as the other Scorions’. He is finished with a beatifully printed headpiece and a stinger tail. Look at that! Scorm also gets two guns which are named the Korrodors, they look great but compared to the fig they are too big. Here he is with my other Scorpion, Scutter I’m so loving these Scorpion figures! Note that the print on the headpieces is different! Now let’s move on to Laval, he comes with new printing as well, which looks really beautiful. There are so many detail on these tiny figs. He comes with a two sided head but since it’s not new, forgive me that I haven’t phtographed it. Now here he is with tons of accessories, note that his sword comes in black only in this set. Finally we have the Croc prince Cragger who made peace with Laval and they are besties again. His only new parts are the legs, which now have amazingly done crocheadkneepads. His torso is identical to Laval’s. He has a very neat bow-gun thingy. I really love the figs in this set, they all have new prints (some of them new parts) and have super accessories. Build Bags spilled, check. rare parts, check. I also encountered a piece which I haven’t seen, but after a little search I found out that it can be found in a few other sets as well. Let’s get on to the build, after bag 1 we have a strong mostly technic base and the 3 minifigures. With bag 2 we started to cover it and the Scorpion Stinger started to take shape. After bag 3 we have the scorpion head on the front and the cockpit. With bag 4 finished we add the pieces from the unnumbered bag as well and the ride is completed, Ta-daa! here is a shot of the spare parts, there is a galore of cheese slopes. The build was pretty straightforward with minimal repetition, my only problem is with TLG’s usual put-the-piece-here-and-after-you-can’t-access-it-put-a-sticker-on-it method… Other than that it was a nice relaxing build, with a few interesting techniques. The Set itself The Scorpion Stinger is a very unusual design. A 3 wheeled scorpion car. The designers made a great job recreating a scorpion shape. The head is very effective with the red diamond used for eyes, it’s one of my favorite parts on the vehicle. Here is a backshot showing the claw-moving mechanism. You have to push the dark-red plates and it opens the claws, and if you release it it closes, in this picture you can also see that there is plenty room here so Scorm can fit here easily with his stinger tail. Behind the cockpit there is a CHI crystal which provides energy for the vehicle. Now let me show the claw-opening function. et voilá! You can also place Scorm’s guns on the front. And with him finally in the cockpit, we can go and hunt some lion and croc meat. The Zamor acid spheres are stored. Dinner is prepared. Om-nom-nom Rating and Summary When I first saw images of this set I though it looked really bad, with the big rear wheel and just the whole concept wasn’t working for me. Then I checked a video review and came to really like the play functions and I just cama to like the look as well. Now it’s one of my favourite Chima vehicles, I really like scorpions and this vehicle resembles a scorpion very well. And there are the wonderful figs with their great weapons and accessories. I only can recommend this set, a very unusual design, great figs, fun play-functions and a reasonable price. Price 10/10 I don’t want to complain I got th eset 15% cheaper and it was totally worth it Parts 9/10 Rare and new parts, lots of useful pieces in great colors. Build 9/10 It was a smooth, straightforward build, I was expecing a bit more complexity and there is my issue with the sticker adding steps that I stated above. Minifigures 10/10 High quality figs, one of them is unique to this set, the rest have new printing and cool weapons. Playability 10/10 Claw-opening mechanism, ball shooter tail, the stinger tail is poseable (if you miss a step on purpose which locks the tail), the car can eat the intruders and the two fractions can fight, also the vehicle is sturdy and swooshable. Thanks for reading the review, hope you had a good time.

Hi everybody, as I promised here is my review of 70129 Laverus’s twin blade set from the new Legends of Chima wave. Does this set live up to my expectations? Let’s find out. Set details Set number: 70129 Number of pieces: 183 Number of minifigs: 2 (or 1,5 if you don’t count the lower body of Scutter) Age range: 8-14 Set price (S@H): £17.99 / US$19.99 / EUR 19.99 / HUF 5990 Set Description Flee from Scutter with the CHI in Lavertus’ Twin Blade! Lavertus has the CHI and is looking to escape from Scutter in his super-cool Twin Blade helicopter. Clip the dual maCHIguns to the side of the helicopter and place Lavertus in the pilot’s seat. Press the mechanism trigger to make the rotor blades whizz around and zoom skywards. But beware – Scutter has got a Sting Hammer and is jumping up to try to steal the CHI. Includes 2 minifigures with weapons: Lavertus and Scutter. Includes 2 minifigures with weapons: Lavertus and Scutter Features squeeze-triggered twin rotor blades, CHI-powered engine, lion detailing and translucent elements Weapons include Scutter’s Sting Hammer and Lavertus’ maCHIguns Pump the mechanism and make the rotor blades spin! Measures over 3" (10cm) high, 11" (28cm) long and 9" (25cm) wide Box The box follows the other Chima sets’s design. You can see Lavertus in the upper right corner as TLG always puts the hero of the actual set there. The Chima logo is new with a bright green color and it’s spiced up with red spikes. At the low left corner the minifigures are presented with their names and their affiliation to the good or bad side (represented by the blue/good or the red/evil background). The scene is very action-filled as most of the Chima sets, Lavertus is flying his helicopter and Scutter tries to jump at him from a cliff to get his Chi. The background is foggy and misty so we know that they are not in the idillic part of Chima anymore. The back of the box shows another action scene where Scutter managed to steal the Chi and Lavertus is pursuing him. The rest of the back is occupied by a big picture showing us the main play function of the set, described in 6 languages and put arrows to help us understand what to do. There is an interesting background here which show the map of Chima I guess. Finally there is an ad for the Chima online game. On the top we see Lavertus in 1:1 size and the another picture of the 2 figs. Content The box is wrapped up, let’s see the contents. We have 2 unnumbered bags, one which is the same size as the box, a smaller one, a sticker sheet and the BI. The bigger bag also has a little one in it for the small parts. The DSS is quite pleasantly looking, the sticker do add to the overall look of the Twin blade. Also they are easily appliable provided that they have to be put on flat surfaces. Although when you have to apply the small stickers on the rotor’s ends can be quite frustrating. As usual the Building Instructions’s cover is the same as the box front image. It has a very pleasantly looking mild olive green background. The color differentation is only bad when you have to put dark brown or black, because they look very similar, there is no problem with the other colors. Here are the pieces spilled, there are a few recolors and rare parts in the set but nothing new except Scutter’s body, helmet and the long part on the copter’s back in flameish yellow (officially called: Brick 4X16 W/Bow/Angle) which are unique to this set. We get two rubbers for the rotor mechanism (note that one is spare) and Lavertus’s helmet comes in a polybag (If he got one I don’t understand why Scutter’s headpiece is not in a polybag as well). Here are the rare parts and recolors in the set listed (According to Brickset): 3 Branch Crosshole W. Hole in Dk. Brown Mini Spacegun W.Rib Ø3.2 Shaft in Black Roof Tile 1X2 45° W 1/3 Plate in Dk. St. Gray Rotorblade 8M in Dk. St. Gray Roof Tile 2X2/45° in Fl. Yell-Ora Roof Tile 1X2 45° W 1/3 Plate in Fl. Yell-Ora (Brickset states that it’s the only set cotaining this part but other Chima set include this as well like the Lion Chi Temple) Brick 4X16 W/Bow/Angle in Fl. Yell-Ora Brick 4X4 W. Bow/Angle in Fl. Yell-Ora Left and Right Plate 2X3 W/Angle in Fl. Yell-Ora Plate 1X6 in Fl. Yell-Ora Minifigures At this price range in the Chima set line we get 2 minifigures. The only addition is Scutters complete Scorion looking body. First let’s have a look at Lavertus without his armor and headpiece. He has beautiful painting all over. He is the only Lion to come in Reddish Brown. His head on one side has a very calm face and on the other he is angry. The bodyprint is so great that putting on the armor just isn’t fair to cover it. And here we see the Renegade Lion in full glory, note the footprint pattern on his headband/crown-thingy it looks magnificent. His hair is Dark Tan which gives him a unique look. He also comes with 2 of his MaCHIguns, they are a simple build but effective looking. Our second figure is Scutter from the Scorpion tribe. He has baeutiful body printing which looks like a carapace armor. His head has printing only one one side and this head is used by all Scorions (which is uncommon among Chima minifigs but no doubt a money saving method for TLG). Although I’ve never understood why Chima figs need different face expressions for example, Laval has a smiling face and on the other side he has an angrier, roaring, but his headpiece is smiling, so either side of his head you are using, with the helmet put on he will have a smiling face eventually. Here he is with the scorpion body built, it’s very similar to Spynlyn’s build but with different legs and with a Stinger tail instead of abdomen. He looks very scary and amazing, he comes with a so-called Sting hammer to squash his puny foes. My only issue with the fig that the piece used for the stinger is made of very soft rubbery material and it comes off too easily, so I replaced it with the smaller black fang piece (used on the hammer), because there was one among the spare parts. The main selling point for me was Scutter, as he can be found only in this set and it’s the cheapest way to get yourself Lavertu as well. I’m fully satisfied with the minifigures, the designers at TLG outdone thmeselves again, every Chima fig is a masterpiece. The accessories are also getting better, the weapons are simple but clever and great-looking builds. The set spare parts The construction was very smooth and fast (so fastL). The overall look of the set is satisfying but has a few design flaws. The low piece count doesn’t allow higher quality design and more details I understand that, but I’d pay more for a better looking set with more parts. Here is a sideshot, the long brick that gives a sturdy base for the helicopter makes the undeside too blocky and it’s visible from all directions. Apart from that the set is very decent and good looking especially from birdview. The lion head ont he front is flat and gives a sense of speed, the hair looks like it is blown by the wind, and it fits a helicopter well. The stickers look great on the heli. Play functions The main function is geniusly made. You have to push the vertical brick with the toothed bar and it rotates the gears. If you release it, the brick is pushed back by a rubber, meanwhile the gear jumps down from the toothed bar losing connection and rotates freely moving the rotors. If the rotating stops it connects again with the toothed bar. It works very smoothly and is a great function although, although it sacrifices aesthetics on the top. You can also store Lavertus’s maCHIguns under the cockpit. Rating and Overview I am quite satisfied with this set, you get a decent looking vehicle with an awesome play function and two beautiful figures for a relatively cheap price. Also as I said before Scutter only appears in this set. Parts 8/10 You don’t get a lot of parts but there are some rarities among them. There is agreat deal of technic parts too which can be good or bad depending on somebody’s interest. Price 9/10 I got the set 15% cheaper than the S@H price and for that it’s a great deal, however I’d bought it on ful price as well. Minifigs 10/10 Can’t complain here, Lavertus is beautifully printed and a very unique fig among lions. Scutter is awesome as well with his brick built scorpion body. Build 9/10 The build is very smooth and fast, the main function is genius and the stickers can be applied easily except the small ones on the rotorblades. Design 7/10 The heli follows the lion’s vehicle design with the head on the front, and the flame yellowish orange color. I stated the flaws above that’s why i won’t give it more points. This set is very divisive, many don’t like it because it’s design, but the play functions and the figs compensate it for me. I hope you enjoyed the review and it helped decide to get this set or not. Fin!

I'am curious to see the episode as well, I wandered through the lands of the Internet but found only an episode overview on brickipedia

I'm surprised by Lego's choice for this summer wave. Mammoth's and sabre Tooth tigers are more reasonable because they really existed but phoenixes are an odd choice. Also I picked up Lavertus' twin blade and Scorm' scorpion stinger And I Will review them after weekend;)

The new engines look better IMO they have a more powerful look, also the cannon's are more exciting, the previous were too plain. Any yay for the fin

Those curved wings Bob maybe your ancestors invented the wheels Very great job, altough I liked the fin under the nose.

Very awesome, thanks for the vid, It looks a bit sensitive Are the bottles easily replaceable?

Only one word come to my mind when i saw this: DAMN! The whole MOC is amazing, full of great details, and that Joker is unbelievable, I wouldn't think that it can be made out of lego in this quality. You always impress us,

I just happened to see only this episode of the series accidentally, and I thought that turtle sub is really cute. You converted it perfectly into lego,

That last one just killed me very good job Oky!
