Review: LEGO The Hobbit 79016 Attack on Lake-town

January 3, 2015 By Jay 12 Comments

Hello and welcome to the first review of 2015! I’m still having a hard time training myself to type out 2015 instead of 2014 – it’ll probably take a few weeks for me to get used to the fact that we’re in 2015. Resuming the reviews of the Hobbit sets, today we’re going to take…

Review: LEGO The Hobbit 79015 Witch-King Battle

December 29, 2014 By Jay 7 Comments

I caught the final film in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy – The Battle of the Five Armies when it premiered in Australian cinemas on Boxing Day. It was a bit of a bittersweet experience, since this would most likely be the final time we’ll get to experience the cinematic world of Middle Earth on…

Review: Lego 10237 – The Tower of Orthanc

August 5, 2013 By Jay 29 Comments

It took me awhile to write this review, largely because of how long it took to build this monstrosity. The Tower of Orthanc is the crown jewel of the Lego’s The Lord of The Rings sets. Towering above the rest at 2359 pieces, I knew I had to get my grubby hands on this set…

Review: 9473 – Lord of the Rings – Mines of Moria

September 12, 2012 By Jay 4 Comments

I’m a little tired of writing about Legoland Malaysia. My last few posts have been about the park, and while I am still very much excited for this weekend’s public opening, I don’t want to keep sounding like I’m a Legoland shill. So I’m going back to the essence of this blog, Lego itself and…

Review: 9469 – Lord of the Rings – Gandalf Arrives

July 23, 2012 By Jay 3 Comments

For my next Lord of the Rings review, I opted to go with Gandalf Arrives since it took like 15 minutes to put this set together. My fiancée brought this back from Australia during her last visit a couple of weeks ago and I was extremely excited since this is the only way to get Gandalf…

Review: 9472 – Lord of the Rings – Attack on Weathertop

July 13, 2012 By Jay 12 Comments

Here’s the second Lord of the Rings set that I managed to build, The Attack on Weathertop. This set faithfully (no exaggeration!) recreates the iconic scene where Aragorn aka Strider flees with the Hobbits from Bree after being pursued by the Ringwraithes (Nazgul), getting into the first exciting confrontation with the evil forces of Sauron….
