Tech On Me

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...
