S/N: #30250
Year: 2013
Pieces: 33
Minifig: 1

Polybag
Here's the other Legends of Chima polybag that I manage to get hold of although the price tag is not as good as the previous one, but since Ewar, the minifig, have some new elements on it, is worth a try. Like the one before, the front of the polybag has the name of the set print on it other than the part counts. The back are just words like all the other polybag but for your info, this polybag does not comes with any parts that are made in China.

Content
The overall content is show in the below picture. There are new parts for the minifig such as wing and the armor and the eagle shaped headgear. An instruction sheet included too.

Accessory
The CHI crystal is a common energy source for them and at the same time also the source of all the problem. It's common for them to give us one of this in the polybag.

Ewar
The first thought, this is a very unique minifig with wings and eagle head. It is just special. The leg are printed and the hip prints are a bit off to the side and cannot merge with the print on the torso correctly. I like torso are printed on both side and thanks to technology advancement we actually have a more detailed printed torso. Ewar has two expression printed too, but why an eagle need a goggle to fly?

Acro Fighter
This fighter looks ugly to me, but is a polybag set, so is understandable as there is not much parts that are included to improve the build. At least this fighter take the shape of a bird, maybe an eagle.

Extra pieces
I'm not sure if I missed out any steps, or am I included with and extra, extra part. But this is what I have with me after I completed the models.

Completed model
No that there is no more spinner set, which is a very budget way to own these unique minifigs, the best option left are with the polybag. Although the Speedorz cost more when compare to the Ninjago Spinner, but the parts in the Speedorz increase as well. In short, the polybag are worth your money to get this unique minifig.

Playability: 2/10 No playability at all.
Building experience: 4/10 Nothing new or to be happy about.
Parts: 6/10 Have a few cool new part parts, especially the minifig.
Value for money: 6/10 Still the cheapest way to own the minifig.
Overall: 4/10 The main attraction here is the minifig and the CHI crystal. The rest are junk.
