Review: 79004 – Barrel Escape

June 21, 2013 By Jay Ong 2 Comments

After months of putting this off, I’ve finally built the Barrel Escape! I received this for Christmas from a redditor in last year’s Reddit Secret Santa which I’ve written a little about here.  I guess a little inspiration to build this set came from the trailer to Part 2 of Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy…

June 13, 2013 By Jay Ong 13 Comments

Ahoy there! We’re at the final part of the Lego Minifigures Series 10 review! Series 10 minifigs are running low in the Australian stores I’ve been to, so best snap ’em up before they get off the shelves!  For Part 3, I’ll be concluding my series by reviewing the Warrior Woman, Skydiver, Baseball Fielder, Trendsetter…

Lego Minifigures Series 10 Review Part 2

May 31, 2013 By Jay Ong 3 Comments

Hello, hello, hello and welcome to Part 2 of my Series 10 review! Let’s get started! First, a bit of an update regarding availability of Series 10 minifigs in Australia. I’ve been to a couple of Kmarts in Melbourne’s South Eastern suburbs and not a single bag was in sight. Either they’re cleaned out, or…

Lego Minifigures Series 10 Review Part 1

May 26, 2013 By Jay Ong 14 Comments

Welcome to the first part of my review for Series 10 of Lego’s Collectible Minifigures! Can’t believe we’re already at number 10. I remember first starting out with Series 2 (when Series 1 came out, I was still stuck in the dark ages) and its remarkable that Lego has gotten to a whole decade of…

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

September 12, 2012 By Jay Ong 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…

Today is the 15th and final day of the Lunar New Y Today is the 15th and final day of the Lunar New Year, also known as Chap Goh Mei (15th night in the Hokkien dialect), Yuan Xiao Jie, Chinese Valentine's Day or the  Lantern Festival! 🏮

It marks the end of the Lunar New Year celebrations, and is celebrated in a myriad of ways, such as eating tangyuan (glutinous rice balls) over dinner, and visiting temples to pray good fortune for the coming year.

The celebration was famously depicted in 80107 Spring Lantern Festival, designed by @justinramsden and released in 2020.

Here's my Classic Space take on Chap Goh Mei as we conclude the Lunar New Year festivities!

Happy Chap Goh Mei to everyone celebrating!

Mia is all grown up now! Here's a comparison of Mia is all grown up now! 

Here's a comparison of Mia, from her very first minidoll on the left (from 3188 Heartlake Vet), to her last appearance as a teenager in 41717 Mia's Wildlife Rescue, and on the right, as an adult in 41730 Autumn's House!

She's now a mum to Autumn, and it's kinda surreal seeing her grow like this.

FYI: LEGO Friends had a bit of a redesign in 2018, which is why Mia's appearance changed slightly.

For my next @LEGO Friends review, here's a look at For my next @LEGO Friends review, here's a look at 41730 Autumn's House, which features Autumn and Mia's home, a delightfully rustic ranch-style home!

It blends the old and new, with Autumn and a now grown-up Mia, and amazingly, has kept the same US$69.99 price-point as all the other Friends main character houses. 

Who knew that Friends character homes were inflation-proof?

Great value-packed set overall, and you can read my full review on the blog via link in bio!

Special thanks to LEGO for sending this review set over!
