Tech On Me

This is one of the latest additions to my growing Star Wars Lego Fleet. The Lego 9495 Gold Leader Y-Wing Fighter. Let's not waste a parsec, onwards! Box and Contents Y-Wing Box A Mid sized box with the usual attractive design and colours. Nice but not as exciting. This has not so much to do with any flaws of this set as it is to do with the fact that after building the Lego Millennium Falcon previously, the itch is there to try more challenging Lego sets. Arrrgghhh... the perils of Lego building haha :) Clockwise From top Left to Right: Instruction Manual, Sticker sheet, Parts Pack 1, Parts Pack 3 and Parts Pack 2 Emptying the box, you would get the usual suspects, the instruction manual, a sticker sheet and 3 packs of parts. Minifigs Left to Right : Princess Leia, Gold Leader, R5-D8 The set comes with 3 minifigs, namely  Princess Leia, Gold Leader and an R5-F7 droid (another variant of R2D2). Gold Leader and R5-F7 are dubbed as new which I take to mean this ...

Just had to share this for Lego Star Wars fans interested in getting the Lego Millennium Falcon especially those who live in Singapore. I just discovered that you can get it shipped direct to Singapore from Amazon US (Previously Amazon US restricted it from being shipped direct) for an affordable price.  The Current Price is US$139.97 before shipping. The  Price including direct shipping to Singapore is US$165.24. Based on the current exchange rate (with credit card), it should be about S$215 in total. That's 35% off the retail price of S$329.90.  Do remember to select the option "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com" It is quite coincidental that the last post on this blog was the review for this set . What are you waiting for? Check it out and May The Force be with you ! :)

Next to the X-wing fighter , my next favourite vehicle from the Star Wars Franchise is the Millennium Falcon!  “You’ve never heard of the Millennium Falcon? … It’s the ship that made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.” so boasts Han Solo when he first meets up with Luke Skywalker and Obi-wan Kenobi in Star Wars IV: A New Hope. Lego-wise, this is the biggest set that I have attempted to build so far since my return to the Lego-fold. So let's get cracking!!! Box and Contents The Box The box itself is quite impressive and has definite heft to it. Emptying the contents from the box, you would find: 15 Parts packages, 2 manuals (Part 1 and Part 2) & 1 sheet of stickers You get a total of 15 packages of parts numbered 1 to 6 accordingly (a total of 1254 pieces), a sheet of stickers and 2 building instruction manuals. Minifigs You get a total of 6 minifigs with their respective weapons i.e. lightsabers, blasters, or crossbow, which is great! You get most of t...

Yes, it's not Star Wars and I told myself I shouldn't get too distracted by too many Lego themes but I couldn't resist and picked this up from the Metro store at City Square Shopping Mall with a 20% discount while shopping for toys for my nephews and nieces.  It's a new set based on the new movie : The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Box and Contents It's a very small box compared to most Lego sets but as usual it is very beautifully decorated: Opening the box, you'll see the contents as follows: 2 packs of parts and an instruction manual As it's a small set, you only get 2 packs of Lego parts and an instruction manual. Minifigs You get 2 minifigs but 2 of the most important ones from the movie Bilbo Baggins and Gollum!  Bilbo Baggins wielding Sting (Elven Sword) The Bilbo Baggins minifig has nicely detailed clothing imprinted on the torso and comes armed with Sting, An Elven Sword.  The Gollum minifig below looks impressive (I thin...

With the arrival of the new year, I decided to ring in the changes to this blog to give it a fresher, cleaner look. I hope you like it. If you're wondering why the sudden rash of posts on Lego sets, it's because I decided to get off my butt and start building stuff!  To start us off in the new year, it's none other than my favourite Star Wars vehicle, the X-wing fighter!! Box and contents   As you can see from the pic above, the box is colourfully illustrated and looks pretty impressive. Now let's open it up to see what is inside: 1st  row: : Pack 1, Pack 3, Instruction manual 2nd row: Pack 2, Pack 4, Pack 5 3rd row: Lego Storage Box, Sticker sheet, survey promo card  The thing that's different here is there usually isn't a storage box included in Lego sets so I'm not sure if this is a Korean Exclusive. I happened to get this from a seller on GMarket (now renamed qoo10). Cool bonus though! Minifigs Included in this package are 4 minifigs, 2...
