LEGO Chima CHI Razar Buildable Figure Set Review & Photos 70205

70205 LEGO CHI Razar Review Legends of Chima Summer Sets

Confession time: I have never in my life bought, built or even played with a LEGO Bionicle toy. It’s not that I have anything against those types of LEGO sets–I’ve just never been real interested in LEGO sets that aren’t your typical brick-built fare, so I’ve never cared enough to pay attention to one. Until now. My wife’s eyes lit up when she saw the new LEGO Legends of Chima Buildable Figure sets in person last night, and she insisted on coming home with LEGO Chima CHI Razar 70205 and building it right away. And you know what? It’s really not that bad. And by “not that bad”, I mean that I’m totally astounded that the LEGO CHI Razar figure is such a super-fun toy…

LEGO Minifigures Series 10 Review 71001 2013

LEGO Minifigures Series 10 71001 Warrior Woman Minifigure with Spear and Shield

When you own several thousands action figures of various sizes like I do, shelf space is a luxury. So there’s no way that I can purchase even close to the number of LEGO sets and minifigures I want to each year. That said, I do run a LEGO site, so it’d be futile for me to try to resist the charm and allure of pulling blind bags from every LEGO Minifigures series. Thus, I dropped by the LEGO Store on launch day and picked up a handful of the LEGO Minifigures Series 10 71001 blind bags. With no LEGO Minifigures Series 10 codes available, I had to hope for the best. The verdict? This Minifigures series is so good, I’m going to need more shelves…

LEGO Ninjago Golden Dragon 70503 Review & Photos

LEGO 2013 Ninjago The Golden Dragon and The Golden Ninja Toys

I spent years biased against LEGO Ninjago, certain that the theme was stupid. Then a funny thing happened earlier this month–I accidentally saw an episode of the Ninjago cartoon. And, well… now I’m buying the LEGO sets. You got me, LEGO! While I missed out on the sets with the original four dragons (which are now astronomically expensive), I was determined to own at least one LEGO Ninjago dragon. And thus, for my first Ninjago purchase, I procured the LEGO Ninjago Golden Dragon 70503…

LEGO Legends of Chima Razcal’s Double-Crosser 30254 Review & Photos

LEGO Legends of Chima has only been out for a little over two months now, but LEGO just keeps chugging away with retirements and new releases for the theme! A couple weeks ago they announced the first four sets that would be discontinued from the theme, and now they’ve shipped out another Chima polybag set! This time it’s the LEGO Chima Razcal’s Double-Crosser 30254 polybag. If you don’t already have a Razcal minifigure, this polybag is a superb deal. If you do already have a Razcal, well… not so much…

LEGO Star Wars Jedi Starfighter & Kamino w/ R4-P17 Review 75006

LEGO Star Wars Jedi Starfighter & Kamino with R4-P17 Minifigure

I own a three-foot tall R4-P17 Astromech Droid Trash Can. That’s the kind of guy I am. And yes, I’ve lied in bed at night more than once, kept awake by the knowledge that I don’t have a proper LEGO Star Wars R4-P17 Minifigure in my collection (because, again–that’s the kind of guy I am).

So when I heard that the 2013 LEGO Star Wars Planets Series 3 sets had finally begun hitting my area, I didn’t flinch when I had to drive for two hours to visit my three closest LEGO Stores to find the LEGO Star Wars Jedi Starfighter & Kamino 75006–a set finally giving me a LEGO R4-P17 minifigure for my very own…
