LEGO ninjago movie annual 2018 review

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Official Annual 2018 2017 is almost over. And what's best to remind the people in the United Kingdom of that than next year's annuals! Starting of with  The LEGO Ninjago Movie Official Annual 2018 ... But first, a brief reminder of what annuals are. They are books published shortly before the end of each year, with the Christmas market as their target. Generally, annuals are large hardcover books centered on everything: sports, toys, celebrities, films, TV series... Everything! They f eature various contents like text articles, comics, puzzles, etc. And some of them have freebies, like the LEGO ones. For 2018, four LEGO Annuals were released, namely, LEGO, LEGO Batman Movie, LEGO Ninjago Movie, and LEGO Star Wars. Interestingly, the LEGO one is published by Ladybird, and the other three are by Egmont. All of them have a recommended retail price of  £7.99. But you can buy one at more or less half the price! Different book and toy stores have various promo...

disney castle [71040] gallery

Disney Castle [71040] It's the LEGO Disney Castle [71040]! Need I say more? My ever-loving wife bought the magical LEGO Disney Castle [71040] for her milestone birthday (and on triple VIP points with about £50 cashback!). As she claimed sole ownership to this huge set, I let her build it on her own. She actually enjoyed the long hours of solo building. She promised me to do a review on her favorite LEGO property. But as t his post has sat on my drafts folder for a few months now, I'm just going to do a gallery instead. Until that promised review was done, this post will remain a gallery (ehem, ehem). Enjoy!

unikitty x N-POP girl

N-POP Girl, Pink Teddy Bear, & Unikitty Sugar and spice, and everything nice. That's what Princess Unikitty and the N-POP Girl are made of! When The LEGO Movie  was released, there were two characters who stole the whole film. One already has released his own feature film (ahem, The LEGO Batman Movie ), and the other will soon have her own TV series. Who's that and what show? It's Unikitty! ! (That's not a typo. The title really has an exclamation point). Unikitty hails from Cloud Cuckoo Land, the capital of rainbows and puppies. She is half unicorn, half anime kitten, and one endless dance party. But don't let her facade fool you. She is one of the LEGO Master Builders who defeated Lord Business! And be careful! Sometimes, Unikitty can lose control of her positive nature and  get enraged. She then  becomes the red Angry Kitty. The only Unikitty brick built figure that I have is from the LEGO Dimensions [71231]. I was still in my dark brick ages when The LEGO Mo...

iconic cave set [5004936] review

Iconic Cave Set [5004936] Aaaaaaaah!!! LEGO Stores are giving away not one, but two minifigures in their Iconic Cave Set [5004936]! It's free with any  purchase over UK £25 / EU 30€ / US $50. The promotion runs from 10 to 30 August in-store and online . Play prehistorically with the caveman and cavewoman minifigures, complete with clubs and a cardboard cave house (which also serves as a storage box). Caveman The Caveman minifigure is similar to the one released in the first series of the LEGO Collectible Minifigures [8683] but with new print and hairpiece color. Cavewoman Likewise, the Cavewoman minifigure is identical to the one from Series 5 [8805] except for the new print and hairpiece color. I wish I have the original minifigs to compare them side by side but unfortunately, I was still on the dark brick ages when they were initially released. Prehistoric Love With regards to the box, to be honest, I love the way it was designed. Though a brickbuilt cave is more preferable, the ...

jack sparrow's boat [30131] review

Jack Sparrow's Boat [30131] Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me! Guess what's my latest brick loot? It's Captain Jack Sparrow's Boat [30131]! I know this little set is an oldie, but it's definitely a goodie! This is what you get from binge-watching the first four  Pirates of the Caribbean films (and not to mention anticipating the fifth). The new Silent Mary [71042] ship, retailing at £179.99, is definitely out of my budget, so I have to settle with something much, much less. It is unfortunate that Salazar's Revenge  (or Dead Men Tell No Tales , depending on where you are) has no other LEGO sets besides the ghost ship and the BrickHeadz captains [41593-4]. But maybe, just maybe, a surprise polybag will suddenly pop out! The good ol' captain and his boat will do, for now. It's amazing that this polybag is already six years old as of writing! And thanks a lot to a decent eBay seller, I was able to buy it very close to a current LEGO polybag's reta...

create the world with LEGO and sainsbury's

Create The World [40256] Explore the world with LEGO and Sainsbury's spring event: Create The World! Follow Sam and Lily in their adventures around the world with the Sainsbury's exclusive LEGO set Create The World [40256]! Build a car, a boat, or a helicopter with this versatile 3-in-1 set. It includes two minifigures of the aforementioned characters. I believe this is the first time we're seeing the prints in their dual-sided minifig heads (which are super adorable, by the way). To make this the perfect brick journey,  accessory elements were included, such as a suitcase, camera (or binoculars as described in the promo), map, mobile phone, and two life vests. Sam Sam Worried Lily Lily Serene LEGO 3-in-1 Creator is the perfect theme for the Create The World promo. It only makes perfect sense to encompass all types of travel in this global adventure. All areas were nicely covered. Sam and Lily can travel by land using a car, or by water via a boat, or by air with a helicopt...
