Review: Lego 79000 – Riddles For The Ring

August 29, 2013 By Jay 3 Comments

I’m going to go back to what I love best, reviewing Lord of the Rings sets! After my brief flirtation with Lego City, it’s time to return to my favourite Lego theme with the smallest set in the first wave of The Hobbit sets. Name: Riddles For The Ring Set Number: 79000 Pieces: 105 Price: AU$19.99 (Shop@Home Link) Exclusive…

Review: 3183 – Friends – Stephanie’s Cool Convertible

May 1, 2012 By Jay 2 Comments

Here’s the second Friends set that I’ve built after Emma’s Fashion Design Studio and it’s quite obvious that I’m a huge friend of the Friends line. Yes, I love civilian Lego sets, and yes, the minidolls have grown on me that I don’t flinch every time I see one side by side with a regular Lego minifig….

March 21, 2012 By Jay 9 Comments

Well hello again! Hiatus usually means work which has thankfully wound down a little, allowing me to get back my building. Here’s a review for the highly anticipated Superman set! Superheroes is officially not available (yet) in Malaysia however that doesn’t prevent ardent Lego fans from eagerly importing sets from the states. I’ve had my eye…

Review: 3936 – Friends – Emma’s Fashion Design Studio

March 4, 2012 By Jay 8 Comments

At long last! Lego’s biggest new thing this year that isn’t Lord of the Rings or Superheroes, a new theme aimed squarely at getting little girls between the age of 5-12 interested in building blocks. It’s a bold move on Lego’s part, investing huge amounts of money and marketing into making Friends work. The Lego…

Apologies for the hiatus! Been absolutely busy with work and a wedding last weekend! My table is horribly dusty and I had close to no time to do anything Lego related, meh. Anyhoo, here’s what I purchased today! 4438 – Robber’s Hideout I’ve been wanting this set ever since I saw images of it because…

Brick Peek: 7657 – Star Wars – AT-ST

February 10, 2012 By Jay 5 Comments

Not going to do a review for this set I built yesterday, because it’s a 5 year old set, so you can’t really walk into a Toys R Us and pick this one up. I got this sweet little set from a seller off Lowyat for a pretty good price. Seller was very prompt with her…

Treat yo self 💫 January was a massive month, s Treat yo self 💫

January was a massive month, so I decided to finally take the MF plunge.
Today is "Chap Goh Meh" or the Lantern Festival, t Today is "Chap Goh Meh" or the Lantern Festival, the final day of Chinese New Year. 🏮

It's a bit of a strange one this year, with the pandemic throwing plans into disarray, and my family being further away than usual, so celebrations were a little different in 2021.

Thank you @LEGO for an excellent range of Chinese Traditional Festival sets. 🙏

@little.ong (and myself) really loved the Duplo Happy Childhood Moments set, and I especially enjoyed the new dumplings element! 🥟

Spring Lantern Festival is one of the best LEGO sets I've had the pleasure of building, and I also appreciated the foray into the mythological origins of Lunar New Year with Story of Nian. 🧨🧧🎆

More sets that celebrate the rich cultural diversity of the world, please! 🌏

Very impressed by the minifigure designs of Chief Very impressed by the minifigure designs of Chief Mammatus and Thunder Keeper from the new #LEGONinjago 71747 The Keeper's Village.

Love the Polynesian influences that have inspired #ninjagoseason14 - The Island!

Really enjoyed building and reviewing the new #LEG Really enjoyed building and reviewing the new #LEGONinjago 71747 The Keeper's Village from Season 14 - The Island 

Hit the link in bio to read the full review

For #Ninjago fans, it doesn’t get much better than this. 71747 The Keeper’s Village is packed with value and is a great centerpiece to Season 14 – The Island.

I have a soft spot for location, or structure-based Ninjago builds, so The Keeper’s Village strikes that itch in the best of ways.

The jungle lair sets the scene and provides a rich backdrop that works really well as a small playset and display piece.

Combined with a very generous helping of 5 minifigures, there’s a ton of value and playability built into the set, especially the stone pillar which works remarkably well as a “big enemy” for the Ninjas to deal with – it very much gives off a “mini-boss in a video game vibe”.

The highlights for me would be Chief Mammatus and Thunder Keeper’s designs. As a big fan of the Islanders theme, I love that #LEGO could callback to those designs in a fresh new way, utilising the tech and innovation that’s now possible through minifigure design.

Whether you’re an adult fan looking for a set that’s a bit more kiddy, outlandish and fun, or you’re planning to buy this for a young child who wants an engaging playset, I can highly recommend 71747 The Keeper’s Village.

Rating and score: 4/5 ★★★★✰
Thanks @lego for sending over the new #LEGONinjago Thanks @lego for sending over the new #LEGONinjago Season 14 sets ahead of their March release!

My first review of 71747 The Keeper's Village is already live on the blog! Speed build is live on YouTube as well! 

@justhypeofficial Kai Plushie just chilling as he's now a regular fixture on all #ninjago videos!

Sharing photos from Japan because we miss travelling (and food!) but being in lockdown with you for 5 days isn't too shabby of an alternative.
