Polybag

Currently I am low on budget and only are able to focus on small polybag set. The Legends of Chima minifig are unique and so I give myself a try on the polybag. Here goes the first one,  Leonidas' Jungle Dragster. The front of the polybag has the serial number of the set, name of the set and parts count. The back shows you where the parts are from and other information about the company.

 

Content

Below shows the number of bricks whereby the extras are included inside. Leonidas headgear is pack in a small bag. Comes with the bricks are an instruction sheet to guide you during the assembling process.

Accessory

The set comes with one CHI crystal. The CHI crystal is a new part and I like it. You can get plenty in the Speedorz set. So if you like it, just grab the Speedorz set.

Leonidas

The only thing special about the minifigs from Legends of Chima is their animal like headgear. Here we have Leonidas. I am not sure what is his role in the cartoon, but the his face looks not so right. . . His torso are printed on both side and the leg are printed too. The print of the hip is a little low in quality. There are also two expression printed on his head. I got no idea how to comment on his expression, but look like he just wake up from his afternoon nap that kind of face.

  

Jungle Dragster

There is some element that tries to bring out the lion element into this dragster. I do not feel it until I, myself assemble this dragster. The two blue rounded piece is the eyes. Maybe you will see it when you sees the picture.

Extra pieces

Two extra pieces were left after the assembling process and the blur round piece is attracting me.

Completed model

My thought? This is a good set although the polybag arts fails to attract the audience but the actual model looks good. If you like to have one or two minifigs from Legends of Chima, you can grab this one, but I recommend not to start it, as they are too attractive. You might end up getting the whole line.

Playability: 4/10 Moving wheels at least.

Building experience: 6/10 Surprise to see the vehicle a little resemble a lion.

Parts: 6/10 Not much of a valuable piece in here.

Value for money: 6/10 Worth getting, the cheapest way to own the minifig.

Overall: 5/10 I like everything here although not much playability and nice parts. But it turns out to be a nice set.
