rediscovering LEGO

Naboo Starfighter [75092]

With the awakening of the force late last year comes the reawakening of the inner kid in me. 

I have always loved Star Wars. It was my lolo (grandfather) who introduced me to the galaxy far, far away. He would always tell me tales about the empire and the rebels. When VHS copies of the original trilogy were sent from abroad, I would play them repeatedly. Imagine my twelve-year-old self's delight (and confusion - why is the fourth film Episode I?) when the first prequel was released. I think that was the moment I truly fell in love with Star Wars. The Phantom Menace instantly became my favorite Star Wars film. Later on in life, I was shocked to learn that a lot were disappointed by it to the point that they pretended it doesn't exist! But not me. I was fascinated with everything, from the new versions of lightsabers (double-sided!) to the shiny spacecrafts (N-1!). That's why when my wife and I visited the first (and only) LEGO Certified Store in the Philippines, I can't take my eyes of the Naboo Starfighter set. The release of The Force Awakens has not only revived the Star Wars fanboy in me, but also the LEGO builder. LEGO was one of my favorite toys when I was a kid, but after set 75092, I realized that it still is. And little did I know that that was the start of building a lot of amazing things! And what's more amazing is that I was able to include my wife in my rediscovered vice hobby (ask your partners to join you before they beat you, hehe).

The building experience was really enjoyable. My wife and I were amazed with all the new pieces! The instructions were challenging enough yet easy to understand. Playability is also great with the Naboo Starfighter. With this set, we were able to recreate some of my favorite scenes in Episode I.

Naboo Starfighter [75092] Minifigures
Naboo Starfighter [75092] Minifigures: (Clockwise) Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, R2-D2, Naboo Pilot, Battle Droids, & Destroyer Droid

As pictured above, the set comes with a number of characters, three proper minifigures, and six droids, namely Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, R2-D2, Naboo Pilot, three Battle Droids, and two Destroyer Droids. I really can't decide if the little Anakin is more adorable or R2-D2?

I don't think this set is quite popular among LEGO Star Wars fans. There's still a lot of sets in shops, and the price has dropped significantly from its recommended retail price, at least here in the UK (yes, we've recently migrated). If only I could tell the world how cool this set is. Oh wait, I think I just did...

birthday table decoration [40153] review

Birthday Table Decoration [40153] Box What's the perfect LEGO birthday present for a LEGO enthusiast (excluding the big box sets, of course)? The LEGO Birthday Table Decoration [40153]! I recently celebrated my 30th birthday last month, and one of the gifts my ever-supportive wife gave me is the B irthday Table Decoration [40153] set. It is the perfect centerpiece in the festive table (and the perfect announcement of your current age). Birthday Table Decoration [40153] The iconic table decoration was released in the summer of 2015, retailing at  £6.99 / $9.99 / 7.99€. It m easures over 3” high, 3” wide, and 3” deep.  It comes with buildable age numbers from 1 to 99 (poor  centenarians ). The official spiel says that it i ncludes a jester minifigure, but the truth is it includes only half a minifigure. I really wish that LEGO has provided the jester his brick legs so that he can stand on his own. The jester is used in the set's pop-up function, revealing a cute birthday su...

LEGO star wars magazine: issue 17

LEGO Star Wars Magazine Issue 17 The LEGO Star Wars Magazine Issue 17 has just been released, and this month's free gift is the personal transport of the evil Emperor, it's Palpatine's Shuttle! The modified Theta-class T-2c Shuttle was the vehicle used by the Emperor to aid his injured apprentice Anakin Skywalker from the fiery planet Mustafar. Of course, all this happened towards the end of  Episode III: Revenge of the Sith . Palpatine's Shuttle This month's microbuild is a bit of a saving grace from last month's MTT, but obviously, it still hasn't top the AT-AT. It is a fun quick build, and the resemblance from the source material is easily seen. By the way, the foil pack packaging has changed in this issue. It's bigger now, and it's no longer resealable. I don't know if this will be the case from now on, or it's just because big parts were included in this month's free gift. But this makes more sense though in terms of security. There...
