Here's all the parts that are needed to assemble a minifigs, too bad this is not Jor-El in his battle suit, otherwise is cool to owned an extra cool armor. Too bad, no accessory was given as well.</div>

<b>Jor-El</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is nothing much special about this minifig. The only thing special is that this is somewhat exclusive. Jor-El colour was of a darker red compare to Superman (which I have not owned yet). I think the design are the same just different color and Jor-El got both side of this torso and leg printed too. Is good to have as much details as possible on a minifigs. </div>

<b>Han Solo</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This exclusive Han Solo, have his torso printed at both front and back. Even his leg are printed parts which is a good news. He have two facial expression, one of them is somewhat worried or scared expression while the other one is the fully covered face.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Is true that is nice to have extra facial expression but when the hair piece failed to covered up the other printed expression is really disappoint the fans. But still, I'm not getting this minifigs to see his worried expression but to let him ride on the Taun-taun so I will use the other expression.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
With that big headgear of this, if pretty much covered the other expression at the back and this minifig looks just good as it is when he is fully suit up.</div>

What can I said, it was a nice minifig but at the same time it was unpopular among the collector since there are like tons of Han Solo out there. Is a bonus to those that have Shop at Home in their countries, but who would actually willing to pay for this minifig here in the local market unless it was dirt cheap?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There was five bags of bricks that are separated by numbers and each bags of bags assemble the different parts of the starfighter. An instruction book was given together with a piece of dreaded sticker sheet which you might need it to add details onto the starfighter. The are not separately packed an as such they can be easily damaged.</div>

<b>Accessories</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since the set does not have much character that needed a blaster, we are only given a blaster for Jek and a lightsaber that comes in blue for Luke.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Minifigs</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are two new character here but I believe Luke are somehow quite new at that point of time (newly printed pattern on helmet and outfit). Luke and Jek shares the same torso which is new release (during the time of AT-AT were released) that have both side of the torso printed. Also with the new head mold for R5-D8 it makes just add the variety of astromech droid which all this while seems wrong. Definitely is a new astromech droid head that were introduced at the point of time.</div>

This ship looks really special back where we are still young and out of all vehicle during that time, this was my favorite. The designer are trying to get it as accurate as possible and this one do looks better than the previous version as well.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now going to the feature, which is the first feature is the retractable landing gear. The landing gear is useful when you are planning to display it with the wing close. The support works very well and you can keep it when you plan to swoosh your X-wing around.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The windscreen are the same old windscreen that is used in all previous X-wing and Y-wing and they are printed just like the old one. The windscreen can be open and close to place or remove the pilot from the cockpit. The cockpit is a little small, it just fit the pilot perfectly and there is a printed monitor screen right inside.</div>

Right at the back of the cockpit are an empty slot for the astromech droid. Due to the size that is the limitation here, the astromech droid have to be placed side way and you have to remove and reattached the head to make it look to the front. They are trying to add on details as well at the rear top part which is after the astromech droid slot with those tiny parts.</div>

Now onto the wing details, the only thing we can clearly noticed that it has changed to look better are the two turret cannon on both top and bottom of the wings. It looks better than the previous version. While downside of it are the markings on the wing which now use sticker sheet instead of printed tile.</div>

Just like how the previous version works to open and close the wing, we need to turn the axle behind the starfighter, but this time they are tighter and it open straight away instead of slow and steady like the previous version. Turning the axle too hard might makes the wing open and close and it might snap your hand. Kids might feel the pain if their little finger were snap by this wing. We have translucent orange part right at the back to signify the flame from the thruster as well.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I cannot find a transparent stand to hold this ship so, I just put it vertically and snap a picture of it in attack mode. Maybe you might want to consider using string to hang them when you display them.</div>

<b>Completed model</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Can I consider this as an iconic piece for the original trilogy? The new version definitely have some improvement in design but compare to the previous version this one is lacking two more minifigs. But the fighter is great so do the new character that were introduced by LEGO. Recommended to those that have not owned any X-wing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Playability: 6/10 Open and close wing and windscreen, and retractable landing gear.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Building experience: 6/10 A little different way of building compare to the previous version.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Parts: 5/10 Quite a number of parts for a $60 playset.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Value for money: 3/10 The price here is not worth your spending on this set.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall: 5/10 Nice minifigs and nice fighter, bad pricing. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Just an estimation, I cannot recall the exact price but is around there.</div>

<b>Box</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last year box art theme is to have Darth Maul. While this is the United States version of box, it comes with parts printed in front of the box. On the right side of the box, the minifigs were shown together with their name. The top side of the box shows all the minifigs in actual scale while tha back of the box shows the playability of the TIE Fighter and a few shots of the minifigs.</div>

<b>Content</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have two pieces of parts that are not sealed in any of the numbered bag besides of the bags of bricks and instruction book. The three bags of bricks are numbered and each of the bag assemble the different parts of the fighter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Accessory</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While this set comes with four minifigs, there is only one accessory given. Guess most of them do not need a blaster. Was thinking to have two blaster actually.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8703591150/" title="SW_0056 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SW_0056" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8537/8703591150_a4d5b6853e_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Minifigs</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From left are the Death Star Trooper, TIE Pilot, Imperial Officer and R5-J2. The two new minifigs looks just great, especially R5-J2 astromech droid that comes with new head piece.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8702471455/" title="SW_0057 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SW_0057" height="213" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8556/8702471455_4450f2bd3c_n.jpg" width="320" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8703591110/" title="SW_0058 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SW_0058" height="213" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8547/8703591110_b54cbac162_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can see from the above pics, most of them only have their torso printed one side expect Imperial Officer which have both side of his torso printed. Death Star Trooper is the only minifigs with two expression printed, while under the helmet of this TIE Pilot are the same head as what the Sand Trooper and Storm Trooper have. Same face.</div>

<b>TIE Fighter</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After long stop from production they come out with a better version of TIE Fighter, the new colour scheme grey and black makes them looks more accurate and better. Although this fighter have great design, but there is not much playability, just like the same old TIE Fighter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first playability here is the cockpit windscreen that can be open and close to place your minifig in the cockpit. The roof are movable too, so you have more space to attached the pilot into the seat. The cockpit have no computer screen but instead just a translucent red grill part. The <b>windscreen is printed</b> part, probably they know that sticker will be very hard to stick on such round surface.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Below the cockpit are two flick-fire missiles. This is the favorite function for the designer team to use. The two makes the ship looks better anyway. Just that it is rather common playability in LEGO Star Wars universe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The two hexagon wing now gets thicker and is definitely a good idea since the TIE fighter are more stable when you put them on display. Other than that, the wing surface are rather smooth, hardly have stud, which is another great, since it looks better. Some details are added to the wings as well and that round piece is a printed parts again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This is one of the iconic ship too in the Star Wars Original Trilogy Universe other than X-wing. This fighter is not bad at all although there are very few playability. Is a great set for display and also comes with great minifigs. Overall, I still like it despite of the low playability since the design are good and the amount of minifigs are good as well.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Playability: 4/10 Flick-fire missiles and open and close cockpit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Building experience: 4/10 The wings part are really bored since you repeated it twice and most of parats goes to the wings.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Parts: 6/10 At least there are printed parts and not sticker, a lot of plates too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Value for money: 4/10 Pricey. . . </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall: 4/10 If you ever found one at a great value, just grab it, the ship and minifigs really are good. </div>

I imported one of this from the states, and it seems to have included some sort of game code with the set.

The set comes with three bags of bricks and each of them have number printed on them. The first bag is very much focus on the tumbler while the second and third focuses on the bat.

<b>Accessories</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The only accessories that comes with this set is only a gun that Commissioner Gordon is using. Nothing else, no dynamite or even batarang. Is disappointing I would say. I am not sure if the product description mentioned about the batarang is included, but the checklist at the back of the instruction showing us otherwise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Minifigs</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The set comes with three minifigs and I'm impress with them. I'm not too sure whether the Batman is new or not but we are getting two new figs, Commissioner Gordon and Bane.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8684819099/" title="SH_0069 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0069" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8403/8684819099_f05f99416e_n.jpg" width="320" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8684818723/" title="SH_0070 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0070" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8261/8684818723_1b9839f6ce_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All of the minifigs have both side of their torso printed. Batman torso are very printed, they just add in as much details as possible and it looks great. Too bad his leg are not printed, otherwise the whole figs will looks better. Batman have two expression printed on his head.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div>
Bane from the movie version looks great, the prints are just right and some of the colour used are a little glossy. Since bane does not comes with own headgear, they use printed head stud instead and it was printed at the front and back. Maybe the reason for it being printed is because his was never been revealed in the movie. His torso are printed on both side too and is quite alike with the movie. I don't mind since TLG always get is as accurate as possible only.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8685936772/" title="SH_0071 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0071" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8258/8685936772_8e219a7eb7_n.jpg" width="320" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8684817377/" title="SH_0072 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0072" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8114/8684817377_d7da570175_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Commissioner Gordon seems to be wearing some guard around his torso although I cannot recall much whether he wears it or not but is definitely useful for City lover. However, the price might not be right for them or some of them prefer it to be separated armor piece. Commissioner Gordon also comes with two different expression.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Road Barrier</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since these barriers do not have any functions, one picture is enough. The details need to be added with the stickers that are included in this set. Otherwise it will just be a blank yellow tile.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Bat</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think a lot of us is disappointed with this set, although this is one iconic vehicle in The Dark Knight Rises, the design of this Bat is just bad and is very much downsize which makes a lot of us unhappy. The design are not that accurate too. Anyway, to completest will just bought it anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cockpit was big enough to fit two minifigs, just like the movie where it can fit Catwoman and Batman in it. The windscreen can be open and close and that made it into one playability. The downside is that the windscreen are way too different from the movie version. There is also a printed parts that work as the controller for the Bat.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are thruster on both side of the bat and on each side of those thruster are equipped with a cannon and a flick fire missiles. I would not said there are any playability that are special, and if you are looking for playability, I would suggest you #76000 Arctic Batman vs. Mr. Freeze: Aquaman on Ice.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While TLG trying to make the Bat as accurate as possible they added the drone arm at the back of it to create some texture to the ship. There are also spinnining blade at both the side at the back of the Bat. Other than that, there is also a rope that are use to carry the nuclear bomb, but in this case, it was used to save Commissioner Gordon. The rope get detached easily too.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Tumbler (Camouflage Version)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I assume this is the camouflage version of tumbler since it is tan in colour. Too bad there is no brown patches and compare with the previous tumbler, this tumbler are really small. To add decoration to the tumbler, you will have to use the sticker that are provided in this set, otherwise it will look as plain as what you see here. Not recommended to use the sticker if you are going to tear this apart and put in your brick box for MOC.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The hatch or roof of the tumbler can be open and close. This is the only way for you to put Bane into the driver seat. The cockpit is quite small and fit only one minifigs, way different from previous tumbler right? Anyway, saw some MOC from the HKLUG, and that looks way better than this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lastly, the flick-fire missiles that are hidden at the back of the Tumbler. Just move the two wings up to revealed the missiles before flick it off. I guess that is pretty much all about the playability that this set provides.</div>

<b>Completed model</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I will not said this is a good set to own, I personally bought it for the minifigs, the Bat is disappointing while the tumbler I still can tolerate it, although the design is way off. It was priced at MYR210 here, and if you are looking for playability, this set is not recommended.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Playability: 4/10 Flick-fire missiles and that's it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Building experience: 4/10 Due to the design of the Bat that turn me off, I just cannot enjoy the building process.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Parts: 4/10 Not much of a rare parts here.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Value for money: 4/10 Looking at such playability and design, is just not worth your money.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall: 4/10 The minifigs is what I'm looking for while the rest seems disappointing to me. </div>

<b>Box</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For some reason, there is a misprint on the box for this Batman playset, if you were to get US version box. The word "Arctic" was misprint as "Artic", and I'm not sure whether if this misprint will help making the price to be more expensive since is some sort of rare error. Now the front box, we have the name and parts number printed, together with the cast printed on the bottom left. The top side of the box shows us Arctic Batman in the actual size while the back showing us with the playability of this set.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Inside the box was several packed plastic parts without number on them (usually that is the case for smaller playset) and a couple of other stuff like sticker, instruction book and comic book which Super Heroes theme has in them during last year release. The comic book given for this recent release are all the same unlike last year where you have to buy all the sets to get the comic that features the playset.</div>

<b>Minifigs</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The minifigs are exceeding my expectation, they are a cool minifigs to own. At first I somewhat have the thought that they are not so nice, but the real things really looks great! Not regretting getting a set of this.</div>

This is the first time we have albino bat, I mean Batman in white suit, which was never release before even in the first release. So those collector might want to own one of this as well. While the other Batman minifig are slightly different from the previous version, this is is totally new due to his colour of light grey and white. Batman got his torso printed on the both side and have two different changable expression.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is the first time Aquaman was release as minifig in LEGO universe and surprisingly this Aquaman somehow looks great, maybe due to the colour and the printing that are detail enough on his torso. Just like the rest of the minifigs, he have both side of his torso printed with details and he have two changable expression, depending on how you wanted to play it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Freeze the villain is nonetheless looking good too despite using the gear from the previous LEGO Atlantis theme that covered most of his torso. The headgear is slightly bluish and with the blue visor added, it just match this minifig perfectly. He have only one expression, most likely he is grumpy all the time, and I do hope his leg was printed too. Anyway, both side of this torso are printed.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Ice block</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is some additional item added to add playability into it, and I have a feeling that the this ice block have the same function as the buoy from #76006 Iron Man: Extremis Sea Port Battle, just that this one shatter the ice parts into two separated piece. I like the trans-clear light blue parts very much. :<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">D</span></div>

<b>Batboat</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All this while I thought this was some sort of ski vehicle until people told me it was a boat. Surprised hearing that I check the box are again, it seems like it was moving on water instead of ice. But this thing does not look anything like a boat but more to a ski sort of thing. Compare to the first release, this was a totally different boat.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let's start off with some of the playability, and the first playability will be the open and close windscreen of this boat. I think most of the collector prefer such windscreen function compare to the one that we need to detach them. The cockpit needs some sticker to makes it looks better, but I do not attached it, while there is a steering in there, I wonder if LEGO ever going to release a new kind of steering for sporty vehicle. Otherwise looks old on some cool vehicle like this one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On both the side of Batboat there is this blade which makes it looks like a ice vehicle. I think there are reason for them to have something long on both side of the boat. First to signify bat while second is for the playability.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8703585906/" title="SH_0132 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0132" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8393/8703585906_d77e6908f6_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the back of the boat is where most of the playability are, such as firing disc and deployable bombs. Anyway we have exhaust flame coming out from the back of the boat and and there are two attached bomb at the back of it. How to deploy it? Just push it to detach it from the boat, and this is how it works. I like the bomb, perhaps due to the translucent element.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The firing of the disc need you to pushed the bar at the back of the vehicle. The disc are very well hold by the technic pin that are attached to the side of the cockpit. There is a rubber parts use to enhance the grip and easiness to attached the disc back to the position. I tried to shoot once and the disc came out spinning.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Is surprising to see the price slightly dropped (MYR130)compare to those of the same tier that were released in the previous year (MYR150). Looking at Malaysian market which can easily get 10%, I think is worth getting. Batman fans would not want to miss this set, while for starter that feel like getting a Super Heroes figs can consider this set as well if you are a fans of DC, otherwise go for #76006 Iron Man: Extremis Sea Port Battle since the price are better.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Playability: 6/10 Depoyable bombs, launching disc and breakable ice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Building experience: 6/10 The batboat looks good and the payability are good too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Parts: 6/10 Nice parts, quite a number of translucent parts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Value for money: 6/10 A little pricey but at the same time cheaper if were to compare to the previous playset of the same tier.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall: 6/10 I like everything in this set, the only thing is dislike it the sticker.</div>

<b>Box</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think this set will be a hit here because of the minifigs that comes with this set, Iron Man Mk42 and War Machine. So here's another review that I manage to get from the states. The front are printed with serial number, name and even introduction to the character on the bottom left. The top side of the box shows use Iron Man Mk42 in his actual scale while the back show us the playability that this playset provide.</div>

<b>Content</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have two bags of bricks that are packed in this box. Since the detail on the ship are not printed, we have a piece of sticker sheet. There is also a comic book which compile all the story from the 3 sets, so I think all of the set have the same comic book. Last but not least and instruction book that guide you.</div>

<b>Minifigs</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What can I said, the Iron Man and War Machine is just awesome while Killain is just so so. No idea how The Mandarin and Extremis get together since they are separate entity in the comic. Here's some summary of the minifigs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Starting with Aldrich Killian minifigs, his leg is not printed, probably is some formal wear which do not need any print. He wear a coat and there is a belt printed on the torso, while the back of his torso are printed with tow lines, so is counted as printed too. His head can glow in dark and the there are two expressions printed, one grumpy expression and one injured expression.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8587858791/" title="SH_0039 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0039" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8376/8587858791_ecd4c83707_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Iron Man Mk42 looks great too and this is the cheapest to own it. The gold paint are darker tone if compare to the previous Avengers version while the paint of the torso are quite shiny too. His torso are printed on both front and back. The printed leg looks pretty cool too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
War Machine is finally released, but is a new version of War Machine. The prints on the torso are quite detailed too and there are prints at the back too which is pretty nice as well. Too bad it was covered the piece that hold the cannon on his back. All the paint are a little shiny, especially the silver colour. Legs are nicely printed too and that really add details to the minifigs.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Buoy</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The buoy are added to add playability value. Sticker are needed to add a little detail on it, but I do not stick them on. The only playability here is the so-called exploded buoy, which you press hard on the grey tiles and it will push the top part of the buoy up.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Boat</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The boat looks great, it have some empty compartment at the front and two missiles at the back. Suitable for City lover, you can use the boat for your city folks, just by removing the missiles. Also the boat is very spacious too and probably can fit a one or two more minifigs in it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's the front compartment which is pretty spacious too. It can fit Iron Man but not War Machine, maybe due to his back pack. To reveal the compartment you must completely remove the hood, instead of open and close function.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8587858565/" title="SH_0050 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0050" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8378/8587858565_18cc583ef6_n.jpg" width="320" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8587858527/" title="SH_0051 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0051" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8392/8587858527_9c42068162_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next is inside the boat, there is a steering available for Killian to control the boat. On the both side of the steering are clipper that are use to hold his gun and dynamite. Seems like a very useful clipper and logic since it made his weapon reachable. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8587858533/" title="SH_0052 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0052" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8376/8587858533_4903f349d6_n.jpg" width="320" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8588959286/" title="SH_0053 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0053" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8385/8588959286_1a9178694b_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now at the back of the boat there are two missiles but this time they way of releasing the missiles is a little different since you do not need to flick it but instead push the lever at the back of the boat down and the missiles will came off automatically.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8587858477/" title="SH_0054 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0054" height="180" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8105/8587858477_d858021171_m.jpg" width="240" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8587858471/" title="SH_0055 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0055" height="180" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8368/8587858471_e51950cede_m.jpg" width="240" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8588959282/" title="SH_0056 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0056" height="180" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8092/8588959282_76652faba3_m.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The lever are divided to both side, you can launch one missiles too and the other one later. The missiles will keep the lever up all time, and down when released since there are no support. It flies quite far and will not land on the boat itself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Completed model</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My advise, get the set even if you are not super heroes fans. Why? The ship can use in your city and it blends pretty well with just a little tweak. The minifigs are awesome and a couple of rare parts, well spent money I would say.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Playability: 6/10 Exploding buoy and missiles and hidden compartment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Building experience: 6/10 The final model are nice, nice to build.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Parts: 4/10 A lot of extra parts, and there is long slope part.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Value for money: 8/10 This set is fairly priced due to the reason that people are selling both Mark 42 and War Machine at around MYR50 each.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall: 5/10 Nice figs and nice boat.</div>

<b>Box</b></div>
Iron Man movie are coming soon, while the set already been released in some countries but not here, maybe going to hit out shore soon. The set seems ugly, but oh well, let's give it a review first. The front of the box are printed with serial number, name and the number of pieces since I get US version, while the top side shows you the Heartbreaker armor in actual scale. The back are trying to show the playability of this set.</div>

<b>Content</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I recall I read somewhere, an article, where they said LEGO are reducing the size of the box, good and bad. The small box here contains two bags of parts, a hose and an instruction booklet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Accessory</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is a gun given for the Mandarin, so far I see most of the minifigs are using this kind of gun in Super Heroes Universe, namely Deadpool, Gordon, Killain and Mandarin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8581847851/" title="SH_0005 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0005" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8252/8581847851_dd37b6af1a_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<b>Minifigs</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is what I'm after all this while and finally I get them. There is nothing special about Mandarin, since the beard and hair is not something new, his outfit somewhat looks like a cowboy like outfit with a little taste of military to me, printed on the front and back. He comes with two different expression too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Iron Man on the other hand is a little inaccurate especially the helmet, which the same mold are being use just added with some paint and it makes it far from accurate if were to compare to movie version. The gold paint are darker too if were to compare with Avengers version. The torso are nicely printed on both front and back and the silver and gold pain is a little glossy too. His leg are printed too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Mandarin's Armored Car</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the cartoon, the Mandarin are not wearing armor, so, this movie probably will not have any armored enemy. His most powerful weapons are the dragon summoned by the rings (that is what I heard from my friend), maybe that is why in the movie they come out with armored flame thrower car that is ugly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The car does come with a steering for Mandarin to control and although this is a small car, there are enough space to fit the long beard Mandarin. Mandarin fit into the seat very well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8582938522/" title="SH_0017 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0017" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8385/8582938522_e9a50ceeaa_n.jpg" width="320" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8581836391/" title="SH_0018 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0018" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8388/8581836391_0bd3d7f165_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are clippers on both side of the cars and I got no idea what is that light, maybe is just a spotlight on the left, that is use to decorate the armored car while on the right, the clipper are made to hold the Mandarin's gun. Did he need a gun? I think his rings are sufficient.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8581839391/" title="SH_0019 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0019" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8528/8581839391_478a608dcf_n.jpg" width="320" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8581835513/" title="SH_0020 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0020" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8232/8581835513_fb4246c0f4_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The armored car playability, maybe the whole playset playability are all in this one long thing. This flame thrower here are rotatable, adjustable and even the flick fire missiles are installed on it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8581834545/" title="SH_0021 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0021" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8252/8581834545_a2108ce7ea_n.jpg" width="320" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8582940516/" title="SH_0022 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0022" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8238/8582940516_298b7dace1_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think there is a limit to adjusting this thing when the Mandarin are drive this armored car. While for the hose, it was attached to some movable part, which I think is a good idea. With this method use when you adjust the flame thrower, the hose will not came off that easily. Something to be praised.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8582935164/" title="SH_0023 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0023" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8373/8582935164_72214b146a_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just in case the flame thrower are at the lowest point being adjusted, you can adjusted the tip of the flame thrower in both up and down direction. Maybe you can barbeque your Mandarin too. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8581833285/" title="SH_0024 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0024" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8245/8581833285_edae8d6eaf_n.jpg" width="320" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8581833259/" title="SH_0025 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SH_0025" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8510/8581833259_17ebe36667_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's the two flick-fire missiles or maybe fire ball in a stick and cone shape. I guess this is one of the best and the only way that they can signify it, otherwise a whole chunky mechanism will be needed which might turn out to be too heavy and are not able to support by the clips.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although the armored car are small and ugly, but I would say is a good set as the parts might be useful though not many that I like. Both the minifigs are attractive and Iron Man do stand out too, just that the helmet that is wrong. Overall this are affordable set, just don't miss it especially if you are Iron Man fans.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Playability: 6/10 Small but at least there are a number of different functions</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Building experience: 6/10Fun and quick build and suitable for children, though the outcome are not that impressing. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Parts: 6/10 Like the translucent parts, but you have the slope grill parts in dark green and hose.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Value for money: -/10 I estimated 70MYR for this set, which I think is reasonble before and after 10% discount.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall: 6/10 Nice figs, ugly car, with some nice parts. </div>

<b>Box</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's another battle pack that was released this year, and usually people grab both set together and once they sees it although they are not much of an Old Republic fans. I grabbed one too and I can finally review it. The front of the box are printed with the name and the serial number, there is also the Old Republic printed on the bottom left. The one to one scale are presented by the new Sith Trooper in red while the back of the box show us the playability of the hover speeder.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Accessories</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's the weapons that comes in this set, three blasters that comes in different sizes and a brick-built blaster, no idea why I included it inside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8464034611/" title="SW_0006 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SW_0006" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8236/8464034611_8089152cd8_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Minifigs</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This set comes with four minifigs and the minifigs are superb and greatly detail. Plus, the instruction does not meantion which head goes onto which bodies for the other three, you are free to mix and match. The only thing that some says this one is not a hot seller compare to the other that just have two minifigs, is that this set is from Old Republic (expanded universe) that is not as popular as Clone Wars or the Original / Prequel Trilogy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Sith Trooper</b>: Both have different design (helmet, face, torso and leg) and both the new one have printed legs. I actually mistaken that the head are of the same for this two trooper I made, there is only a slight different which I need to take two heads, put it side by side to compare. Also the new black Sith Trooper makes the old one looks outdated and pricey with the his newly printed leg. It pretty much affect the old Sith Trooper and I hardly see people restock to sell Darth Malgus anymore since the two Sith Troopers are difficult to sell now. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Republic Trooper: </b>Both of them have the same helmet, torso and leg printed design but different face expression. Finally they get it right as these troopers are not clones. Their torso looks pretty cool, and very detailed, but I have no idea if such helmet ever existed in the game (yes, I never play the game before). The leg print is a little blur which again I would said bad quality and their helmet too, which sometimes the colour is a bit off.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Hover Speeder</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This vehicle are rides by the Sith Trooper, it is actually quite small but it seems quite accurate if were to compare with the one in the game. Although there is not much playability, but you get the small quarter rounded plate. Somehow I have a feeling it looks like a stingray. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The hover speeder armed with two missiles, one each on each side of the hover speeder. I think due to the size, this are the only playability that they can implement into it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On one side of the handle bars, there is a clipper to hold the rider's blaster. Seems like a good function for the rider, since he can just grab his blaster and shoot around once he is out of missile.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
With the same price, the number of parts was reduced almost by half due to the increase in number of minifigs included in this set. That pretty much explain how valuable are the minifigs. If you are a minifigs lover, this set is right for you, but if you love to h ave more parts, you shall go for #75000 Clone Troopers vs. Droidekas.</div>

<b>Box</b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It definitely has been a long time since I reviewed a set that is packed in a box as I previously focusing on the shared LEGO business with my friends. Cash flow is not that good, now that my cash flow is a little better, here goes the review. Here's the battle pack from Star Wars this year, and the Clone Sergeant and Trooper comes together with two brick-built Droidekas (that is why I put 2 minifigs). The front of the box shows us the name and the serial number of the set while the top side of the box shows us the Clone Sergeant in the one to one scale for you to estimate how big the set was. The back of the box shows us the two playability that the command platform has.</div>

<b>Content</b></div>
<div>
LEGO has reduced the size of the box and the box contains two bags of bricks, and an instruction booklet. The set do comes with a good number of parts if were to compare to #75001 Republic Troopers vs. Sith Troopers.</div>

<b>Accessories</b></div>
<div>
Here's a binocular and two blasters of the same size since there is only two Clone Troopers. There are some old school Jango Fett guns and binocular which both combines and become Droideka's weapon and since I considered them as part of the Droideka, they are not shown here.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Minifigs</b></div>
<div>
Building clone armies not getting tough nowadays, we are only given one Clone Trooper and the set comes with a Clone Sergeant which too much do not seems useful. I wonder can we still call this a battle pack. I still prefer the old ways where the battle packs are separated by factions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8543929383/" title="SW_0029 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="SW_0029" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8516/8543929383_d1e301a0af_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What can I said about the Clones. They shares the same face, or head, their torso are printed on both front and back. The front print on the torso differ from each other whereby the sergeant has his rank printed on the right of his chest, while the print on the back looks similar. They have different colour of visor and sometimes the print on their helmet are messy, a common incident for battle pack minifigs. Poor prints I would said.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Droideka are put together by a number of bricks. They are not exactly ugly but is a little hard to get the stand right, since there are three legs that are needed to be adjust to balance them properly. Bad news here is that they cannot turn into a rolling ball, but you still can fold them., just that it will not appear in round shape. Maybe oval shape.</div>

<b>Command station</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The command station is a little small and the space is very narrow. But it looks like a nice command station, not a disappointing, but definitely out of scale. By right they shoukd be bigger and are able to fit a few more Clone Trooper in it. Maybe is time to get the parts and expand it ourselves.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
At first I thought that this command station only fits one Clone Trooper and it sits in the middle of the command station. I then felt strange, if that the Clone were to sit in the middle, the flick-fire missiles might just shot him. Finally I get them right after that, the two Clone are sharing the monitor, and are seated on both the side of the station. They fit in very well.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the back of the station there is a hole at both the side that holds the blaster for this two poor Clones that have to fight against two Droidekas. No clippers were use this round.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are door on both side of the station which you can fold it up and let it down. Due to the size of the station, the door are made from the flag parts. There are no extending platform for Master Yoda to walk to the command station too.</div>

Now to the all time favorite or the super duper common playability, the flick-fire missile. This time the missile is hidden in the communication radar. However, the tail of the missiles mixed very well with the radar. Is has turned into the antennae of the radar. Just push the box like thing backward.</div>

Now that the missile are revealed, you might want to adjust the radar a little bit to prevent it from hurting your finger or to make this missiles a useful one to defeat the Droideka.</div>

Not really a Clone Trooper army building playset, I think army builder will have to source for the Clones elsewhere, otherwise, buying too many of this set for just the Clone Trooper is very deadly to your pocket. All on all I have a pleasant experience building this set and the command station are just great, although the size is a little small.</div>

Playability: 4/10 Same old playability.<br />
Building experience: 8/10 The end result seems fine to me and really helpful when you are about to expand it.<br />
Parts: 8/10 Great small parts and good number of parts<br />
Value for money: 6/10 The price has dropped and it really makes a difference.<br />
Overall: 6/10 A nice set to own and not to be missed but not recommended to use it as army builder, unless you are building Droideka army.Hydrocyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13351923636338215755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948849842154660734.post-73261222990138490962013-02-24T16:07:00.003+08:002013-02-24T16:07:50.647+08:00LEGO Legends of Chima #30251 Winzar's Pack Patrol Review<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b>Polybag</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The long wait to get this polybag set is finally over, it came a week ago but I am too busy to write a review or even play with it (I snap pictures for review during the play). The front of the polybag stated the name of the sets plus the number parts that comes with it. There is also a picture of Winzar to be introduced to the audience on right. This set does not have component that are made in China.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Winzar</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Winzar got one of his eyes blinded, since there is a scratched marks on it and it do not seems to be able to open the eye. He has two expression printed on his head piece, which IMO it looks ugly on both the side. His torso are printed on both side and his leg are printed too. The headgear is a new piece, which are highly detailed. There is a lot of printing on this headgear and sometimes the colour is a bit off. </div>

<b>Winzar's Sled</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It do seems like something that moves on ice but in the polybag, it shows that it moves on water. Since there is no way of getting the name through LEGO description I just gave it a name. The 30 plus parts actually made this thing out, and it do looks like a wolf head. With a limited amount of parts to create this, I would say it is impressive.</div>

Winzar actually appear in #70004 Wakz Pack Tracker and I a Speedorz set too. Right now to have this minifigs, the cheapest means is this polybag set.

Parts: 8/10 I see quite a number of nice parts here like the long bone and blades.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Value for money: 8/10 It actually cost lesser that the other two polybag I had reviewed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall: 6/10 No idea why it cost lesser, but is a nice set unless you have the evil character.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
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.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
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. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Ewar</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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?</div>

<b>Acro Fighter</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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.</div>

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.</div>

<b>Polybag</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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.</div>

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.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Accessory</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Leonidas</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Jungle Dragster</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Completed model</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Playability: 4/10 Moving wheels at least.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Parts: 6/10 Not much of a valuable piece in here.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Value for money: 6/10 Worth getting, the cheapest way to own the minifig.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall: 5/10 I like everything here although not much playability and nice parts. But it turns out to be a nice set.</div>

The picture below pretty much shows what is contain inside the polybag and what's not. It appears that these parts are attractive to me. Maybe due to some accessories or the color that I hardly see. An instruction was given too.</div>

We cannot tell he was a Elf since no elf hairpiece are given but hood are given instead. This is the only cons I see at the moment. The minifig are given two expression and the torso are printed on both front and back part of it.</div>

My opinion, this small set is good to own and it was fun to build, maybe I'm in good mood that day. However, due the set name comes with the "elf" word, the set is very costly. But I think is worth it after you completed the whole model because of the minifigs and his accessories.</div>

Inside the polybag are six minifigs parts that you need to made Elrond. Nothing else was given. I am upset to see that the cape are not properly protected by the box and is a little damage (see the fold line on the left). Other than that the cape given are way shorter than the one shown on the polybag.</div>

Here's a staff given to Elrond. No idea what is it called, but I think you can find it in The Hobbit playset. In other words, is not only in this set, you get it from The Hobbit playset if this minifig is expensive. Otherwise, Bricklink it.</div>

Is an epic fail on the cape, too short and one more thing, with his long hair, it is impossible for us to not damaged the cape when you attached the hair onto the head. Anyway is a nice minifig, just that it is a bit pricey. For those that have consoles or love gaming, is best for you to buy the whole game.</div>

<b>Polybag</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is a total of 7 polybag sets released by Shell but this is the second review I made on the mini car set. Frankly speaking, these bags really have nothing much to write about. The front of the polybag shows you the car, Ferrari logo on the top right, serial number and the set name on the left and also the pull back function is shown on the bottom right. The back shows you where the component are made and also advertise the other mini Ferrari models that were released.</div>

458 Italia are made out of 32 parts, and there are other two that are the spares. We have instruction sheet and sticker place in a small box for protection purpose. The good thing here is that there are printed parts in here and without the sticker, the car still looks good and this model in fact is my favorite.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm not sure what you think about this but as far as I heard this was the second popular car if only the Berlinetta was not short in supplies. The printed parts wins it all and is like a bonus. The overall design looks sleek and cool too.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Extra pieces</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Due to some parts are too small especially the trans-red round brick and cheese-slope, we get additional two extra parts.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Completed model</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We can see some parts that looks familiar to you, especially if you bought the Disney Cars theme for yourself or your children. That theme do create a lot of car parts and when you compare to this, this one, the price tag is very tempting and we can safely said that it is CHEAP.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Playability: 2/10 Same, pull back motors only.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Building experience: 5/10 Quick and I do not really recall how fun it was to build this. But end result were pleasant.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Parts: 7/10 Some cheese slope and printed parts really add point into it</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Value for money: 10/10 Compare with Disney Cars theme, the price is awesome!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall: 6/10 Cool design and we have printed piece.</div>

<b>Polybag</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are not the first to have this Shell promo around here. But the playset is an exclusive set from Shell whereby you are allow to buy a set for a certain amount of petrol you pump. Anyway, without further wasting time, the front of the polybag shows the model, serial number and name and an info whereby it has pull back motors. The back are just word and a Ferrari sticker.</div>

Like most of the polybag set, once you open it, it goes straight to the parts. Inside the polybag are bricks, instruction sheet and a very well protected sticker sheet. A good move to protect the with box to prevent it from being crumpled.</div>

<b>Scuderia Ferrari Truck</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This set does not comes with any printed parts and the build do really resemble the Ferrari Truck though is a little plain here in my picture. I do not apply the sticker since I have no idea what am I going to do with the bricks. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've tried playing with it and it seems like the back of the truck is too light while the front are heavier, it moves a little slow and always turn to one side when let go rather than straight. Not sure if this is only happening to me or everyone faces the same problem.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Completed model</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fans out there can pretty much made own themselves with the parts they have, especially those that have a lot of part in inventory. The only thing you do not have is probably the pull back motor part. However, to simplified it, it was like a 8x2 plate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Playability: 2/10 Pull back motors only.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Building experience: 4/10 Very quick build, can help you on your addiction.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Parts: 4/10 Not much of a rare parts here, more on normal brick.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Value for money: 10/10 If I were to compare to normal racer that are in plastic container, this price is very good here.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall: 5/10 Very affordable and fun to build in office. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">:P</span></div>

Feel is like ages I have not reviewed something that large anymore and I found this one quite challenging to review. Thanks to my friend who lend me this set to review it, I finally review something big again. Moving to the box, we have the cast introduction, serial number and the set name at the front of it while the top side are introducing seven of the character in their 1:1 scale. At the back we have the playability and weapons shown also the other way of arranging the four separated parts.</div>

He have quite a good number of accessories from this set and below are not all of the accessories that are provided to us in this set as some of them are attached onto the platform or even the throne. A lot of spears given and a lot of skulls given too.</div>

<b>Minifigs</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have eight minifigs in this set and to align them all and take a group photo seems troublesome and too small to be view, so I separate them in different pictures. The good guy first, Gandalf is no longer rare since there are too much of him and there is no difference with the other Gandalf from the previous LOTR playset.Nori and Dori seems to have a new hairpiece which looks very good, while Ori hairpiece are just some recycle parts from Harry Potter. All four of them have both side of their torso printed and the three dwarves have two expression printed on their head.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8329482831/" title="IMG_2708 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_2708" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8216/8329482831_ded72abbbe_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Goblin soldier and Scribe all have a new hairpiece too and they are actually a little soft and nicely printed. Each of them have different design of torso that are printed on both side (which is cool) and the soldier shares the same printed leg. They all shares the same head and there are two different design printed on the head. They are slightly different and is quite hard to differentiate them at first.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Goblin King have his own unique size, very well crafted and printed with details, and I cannot tell how accurate he was because I still have not watched it. It looks good to me and his hand are able to grab the minifigs by the leg just like the castle troll. That's what makes it unique and size does matter now.</div>

<b>Goblin Cave</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is something unusual, maybe the first I've seen so far that these four compartment are not snap together through pins and it is quite inconvenience for me to move it around since we have to move it piece by piece. the box shows us two different ways of arranging the compartment but I just goes with one and snap an overall picture of it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moving to bag one, we have this two platform and a torch made and they are not connected by pins, you just need to arranged them closely side by side to each other. Not much of a details here, and a little playability like rotating and working small catapult being install on one of the platform. What I do not like about it? Is that the skull and the small bone are not or cannot be attached on the platform, they are just scatter and drop when you move them.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Goblin King throne, which I think most parts are wasted here, are rather big and comes with two playability. Other than that there are a number of accessories being place on this throne. Looks like some kind of diecast statue too when you put it alone with the king attached on it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moving to the details of the of the throne, there are a number of sticker needed especially the background of the seat. Other than that there are bone and a book scatter on the floor of the throne, and again they are not attached. On the left there is a torch and a skull being place which I think is a good detail.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While on the left are some pail, goblet, barrel loaded with glaive (?) and pitchfork. Spear and long bone are attached on the side of the cave wall as well. While at the top of both side, we have torch clipped to the wall of the throne. The back of the throne is a bit empty, but there is a skull placed there. The throne does looks solid and live up the solidity despite being in empty at the bottom.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The playability, which is exposing the treasure that are hidden at the bottom of the throne. There is one long black plate stretching out at the back, there is where you pull and push to hide and expose the treasures, gems and gold beneath the throne. The black plate are easily accessible you can easily push and pull it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the left side of the throne, we have a cage made to trap something, maybe the dwarf, and there is a bar for you to make the cage fall off from the located area. You might accidentally drop it off from the the throne if you mistakenly hit on the bar at the rear left part of the throne.</div>

Here's a picture of the Goblin King and the his big throne:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now the last compartment which I somehow quite like it, maybe there are some reason to it. There are three playability installed in this compartment over here and I like the two of them as they are interesting, at least not that flick-fire missiles thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8329453339/" title="IMG_2744 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_2744" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8078/8329453339_f999c130b6_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The bucket crane one of the playability which I like is nice to play with. We can lift it up and down by turning the bar at the side of it and the grip is very strong, it can withstand a minifigs weight when is placed in the bucket. But I'm a bit worried about the chain, afraid that it might break off one day. It is rotatable too but at time the torch on the throne is in the way, otherwise you can make a 360 degree turn.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next the collapsing bridge with just a push of a button. If you push it hard enough, there is like a force that the bridge is fly off. The bridge is pretty strong stable although it was made by string with a small plank attached on it. The clippers on the both side of the plank works pretty well. Like it very much.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What's under the bridge or at the side of it? Just to add some details bones are scatter below the bridge. There are even anchor, all not attached below it. Seems like the anchor is made of gold and worth the loot from the goblin. Other than that there are skull and a pot with some translucent round brick in it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's some platform to this all the technic axle from front view and also to attached the bridge. They decorated the platform with some spears and skull on it too to make looks more representable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8329442079/" title="IMG_2756 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_2756" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8494/8329442079_b840222936_n.jpg" width="320" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8330498856/" title="IMG_2757 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_2757" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8222/8330498856_c58fa01eea_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now the tipping ladder. Nothing fancy about this as the ladder are not attached to anything and with a push of the button, it will fall off. But there are things worth learning which is the hidden axle that looks like the cave wall. It is view as normal cave wall if you do not push the button at the back of it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are like and dislike about this set. The instruction is quite hard to read as there are too many different tone of brown parts which they look a little alike in the instruction. More to dislike are the platform that are not connected to each other and the scattering accessories which are not attached to the platform. What's to like are the playability and design of it, it seriously looks great! The minifigs and the number of extra pieces are something to like too. It is nice for photo shooting too.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Playability: 8/10 Very good playability, there is no irritating flick-fire here and some of them are very nice to play with.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Building experience: 8/10 took me quite a long time to done with it, can I said I enjoy it throughout the whole process though reading the instruction do hurt my eyes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Parts: 8/10 Nice parts like cave wall, lot of accessories too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Value for money: -/10 I cannot tell yet since not officially release here.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall: 8/10 A nice set to own, to play and to display especially the throne. Nice minifigs too.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Accessories</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's the accessories that are provided from this set. We have the bow, binocular, walkie-talkie and handcuff. Not bad.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Hawkeye</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This character is not rare as we can get it in two sets and none of them are to be said the most expensive of the line. The Hawkeye is same with the one we get from playset. Two face printed, torso printed both side and printed leg.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Equipment Rack</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The equipment rack are made up from a few clippers parts, and they turn out great with all the accessories place on it. Another useful thing for those that want to build the base.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Though this minifigs is nothing rare or special, however, I like this polybag very much, maybe the rack and the accessories made me like it. Although is a set that I would recommend but the price are just not that affordable. </div>

<b>Polybag</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another polybag set with slightly much more parts count compare to the Uruk-hai polybag. This one as you can see, the front shows us the serial number and the picture where we can see there are a number of accessories included. The back again are wordings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I'm glad to see there are a lot of accessories and in the below picture shown, the extra parts are in there. We have an instruction sheet to teach us to build the cooking corner too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Accessories</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The accessories seems interesting especially the bottle and the sausages and compare to the Uruk-hai polybag this one is way better in numbers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8301647651/" title="IMG_2454 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_2454" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8082/8301647651_231e89bcd0_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Frodo</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Frodo that came from this set are the same with the one that came from Gandalf Arrive (#9469) playset. He have two kind of expression printed one is happy face of his while the other is the worried or sad face. The torso are printed on both side, however the print on the face is a bit low on quality.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8301646657/" title="IMG_2455 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_2455" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8352/8301646657_51f6c0823d_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Cooking Corner and Barrel</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I would said that this set is suitable for some interior decoration if you ever MOC a house for Frodo. Small but useful I would say and I feel that it is actually way better than Uruk-hai polybag except for the minifig.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8301645071/" title="IMG_2459 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_2459" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8214/8301645071_7198ee3d94_n.jpg" width="320" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8301644547/" title="IMG_2460 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_2460" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8351/8301644547_a1986248b5_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Completed model</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My thought, this set was very nice indeed though we have a lot of Frodo if were to colelct all the playset and we do not need more than one Frodo of the same kind. But the build and parts given, especially the accessories are indeed nice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b>Polybag</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Will do a quick review on this as this is a small polybag set. The front only shows the serial number and the picture of the Uruk-hai with his little ballista while at the back of the polybag are just words. It was a small and simple set like all the other polybag set and this one is very suitable for army building (if you manage to get it cheap of course).</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Below are all the parts that were pour out from the polybag, not much of a pieces and there is one instruction sheet that teach you to build the ballista.</div>

<b>Accessory</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The only weapon included in this set is the large halberd which usually this kind of armored Uruk-hai use in the playset that has been released by TLG.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Uruk-hai</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's the minifigs, which are the same as the one you will get in playset, nothing to complain about the quality. So this Uruk-hai have two different face printed on this head and the torso are printed on the both side. The leg are printed too. Is a good thing that there are more prints which is more detailed.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Ballista</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This one a quick and simple build and comes with a playability which I do not need to further mention. Small and is quite ok. I just don't like the 2x4 plate which makes it looks big.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Completed model</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This set do not comes with any spares, as you can see from the content that there are no small parts in this set. A good set for kids to play as it will not cost you much at the moment and is was a quick build. This may fill up your urge for LEGO too when you cannot afford any of the playset.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Playability: 4/10 Flick-fire. . . </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Building experience: 4/10 Cannot expect much from this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Parts: 6/10 Cool helmet and armor, halberd and droid arms.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Value for money: 6/10 Get it for RM20+, not really a good price but affordable.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall: 5/10 Average, the only good part is that it is affordable otherwise Uruk-hai minifigs can get at RM15+ with halberd.</div>

<b>Box</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another pricey set, which the price is mark up ridiculously in our local market. The front box art shows the serial number and the set name together with the cast on the bottom left. Thanks to that, I learnt about the characters as I'm not really a fans of this theme to be frank. The top side of the box shows all the 5 minifigs in their actual scale while the back of the box shows us the playability, accessories and the interior of the Weathertop.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are for numbered bags of bricks inside the box together with a manual to guide you on the building process. Also, the minifigs is separated into different bags.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Brick Separator</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This set comes with a brick separator that worth RM10 here. This new kind is slightly smaller and have more functions. Anyway, I think next year instruction book will teach us how to use it (maybe).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8153658411/" title="IMG_5250 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_5250" height="213" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8200/8153658411_88d8020c43_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Accessories</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This set comes with plenty of accessories and some of them even have spare one. Nice eh?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Animals</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here we have two black horses with printed design that suits the horse of Ringwraith. Sorry am not sure how the Ringwraith's horse looks like, but nice head print and it looks pretty cool. Extra bricks are given just in case you removes the saddle. I think we will no longer see horse head armor huh?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Minifigs</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have Merry, Frodo, Aragorn and two Ringwraith. The hobbit all looks alike to me, maybe they all shares the same hair piece. This time round Frodo have different color of cape compare to the one in Shelob Attacks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8153689785/" title="IMG_5256 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_5256" height="213" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7253/8153689785_62e1e38636_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Frodo - both side of his torso printed, nice details and have two expressions printed on the head.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Merry - both side of his torso printed, nice details and have two expressions printed on the head.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aragorn - both side of his torso and leg printed, nice details and have two expressions printed on the head.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ringwraith - torso printed on both side front and back, no face expression, like the Clone Trooper head, the cape is really something that gets in the way, hood cannot be attach properly and cape will stick out from the back. Really not cool.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Bush and Bricks</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's something extra that are given and I don't know if this something important in the movie or not. Anyway you get a tan bush and and a few dark green parts to represent moss? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8153691437/" title="IMG_5254 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_5254" height="213" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8200/8153691437_36427654ab_n.jpg" width="320" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8153690529/" title="IMG_5255 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_5255" height="213" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8069/8153690529_aea917209d_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Weathertop</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is what we are looking for in this set after the minifigs, the side dish maybe? Anyway, I like the way it was design though I have no idea how the real Weathertop looks like but there definitely is a something that makes me feel like it is some sort of ruin. Another thing to like about this is the shape, which look rounded with gap in between the wall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8153686237/" title="IMG_5260 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_5260" height="213" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7275/8153686237_373eb7175d_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's the top part of the Weathertop and it seems broken. No roof, broken walls and the standing windows. There are some tan bricks with pattern to signify the bricks and some microfigs been use to design the ruin. Trapdoors are attached with tiles so that the minifigs can fall when the trap is sprung.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8153709104/" title="IMG_5265 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_5265" height="160" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8344/8153709104_2271c51b30_m.jpg" width="240" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8153708358/" title="IMG_5266 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_5266" height="160" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7133/8153708358_849ffe0143_m.jpg" width="240" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8153692614/" title="IMG_5284 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_5284" height="160" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8340/8153692614_55b23f5f51_m.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So here's the trapdoor, and to open it, we just need to pull the button (the dark brown cone) and the trapdoor will open. Whoever that stands on top of it will fall down into the ruin. But there is always an exit at the bottom.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There's a little interior for the Weathertop and there is an entrance at the front of it. At the side we have a mouse hole and there is where the the technic pin holds the Weathertop closed together. This is where we will need to open to spilt the Weathertop open and reveal the interior. Let us enter into the Weathertop.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is how the interior looks like, there is a weapon shelf that holds a sword and a spear, torches hanging on the wall and a mouse. I have no idea what is that black round thing inside it and of course, to flick the arrow we have to flick from the inside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next, there is some space for these three friend to camp and to cook some food. There is a small fire setup and space to put the carrot and bags of supplies. There are stairs beside it where they can climb to the top of the ruin. Neatly implemented by the designer and I like the stairs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, beware if you camp there, there are arrows close to it and it might be fatal if they got shot. The arrows (the flicking playability that commonly use in playset) are install right beside the campfire. there are two of them and it was very well hidden.</div>

<b>Extra pieces</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's the leftovers after I completed the Weathertop and whatever things that need to be completed. We have extra gold ring and weapons leftover too.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Completed model</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm not sure how accurate is this but this Weathertop looks very nice, really. I have fun building it especially when I see the outcome. No regret getting this set at a lower price than the retail price here. Nice minifigs and nice ruins.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Playability: 8/10 Actually not much playability other than trapdoor, flick-fire and splitting the building</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Building experience: 8/10 Different way of building a ruin, rounded shape.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Parts: 6/10 Price per piece is not that nice here but you can get a lot of grey parts here.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Value for money: 2/10 Don't bother the price here, is just crazy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall: 6/10 Nice amount of minifigs and nice buildings but bad price. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Name: Shelob Attacks</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
S/N: #9470</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Year: 2012</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pieces: 227</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Minifig: 3</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Price: RM139.90, USD19.99, GBP19.99</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Box</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No idea why I go for this set as it is not that fancy and iconic, probably the minifigs that made me buy it and the price factor too. The front of the box art shows us the name of the set and introduces us the cast. Also a nice picture of it with a nice background. We have Gollum in his actual scale on the tos side of the box while the back of the box introduces the playability and the accessories that comes with the set.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Content</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Inside the box are four bags of bricks and an instruction book.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8153480112/" title="IMG_6214 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_6214" height="213" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8199/8153480112_f936c06ea1_n.jpg" width="320" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8153451163/" title="IMG_6215 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_6215" height="213" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7276/8153451163_0bbf32fdcf_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Accesories</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have the ring, the gem that is in disguise as the liquid that shines powerfully that scare away the Shelob, a fish for Gollum and two swords. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8153449847/" title="IMG_6216 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_6216" height="213" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7250/8153449847_4049181749_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Minifigs</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have three minifigs here and Gollum is the unique one among all. Frodo and Sam do comes with a cape. But I remove them this time so we can have a look at the back of their torso which are printed too. Other than that, both Frodo and Sam have two expression printed on their head. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Shelob's Lair</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, this seems more like a small entrance or cave for me with a catapult function on the right of it that is made for Gollum rather than a lair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Shelob</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let me highlight a good point before I forget, which is the Shelob eyes are printed parts. The designer done a great job designing this spider though I am not sure how accurate is this. But it definitely meet the spider standards, that is all the spider criteria is in there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8153445403/" title="IMG_6223 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_6223" height="213" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8486/8153445403_7f7050b824_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, first thing on the head, which is printed and adjustable together with the two fangs that placed on the both side, show that it can opens and closes it's mouth has become one of the playability.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8153442263/" title="IMG_6228 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_6228" height="213" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7137/8153442263_d9ccfece19_n.jpg" width="320" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8153441629/" title="IMG_6229 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_6229" height="213" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8068/8153441629_13f4c1d677_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next are the second half of it's torso that are adjustable. Real spider do able to move that as well. So this one is adjustable for a nice poses too. Inside it contains the strings that are attached to the hook. Below it is a button that you can twist to adjust the length of the string. You will have no issue hanging your spider because the grip is very strong.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All of her legs are adjustable too, you can move the legs close to each other or separate them far from each other and each leg are divided into three segment which you can adjust again. The best part is that there is no issue in lifting up the two front legs of her and the hind legs are able to support it just like the picture shown below:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hydorcys88/8153439535/" title="IMG_6233 by hydrocys88, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_6233" height="213" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8480/8153439535_f675e0b7e5_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Extra pieces</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have two extra rings and a sword coming from this set together with other spares. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Completed model</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This set consist of a lot of parts which most of them are the joint to the leg and other small parts. So is suitable to build some small things which this joint can support. Overall is a good set that comes with a nicely design spider.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Playability: 6/10 The playability on the spider is not that bad after all. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Building experience: 6/10 Good way to learn make spider other than from the Creator set.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Parts: 4/10 Have high number of parts, but they are usually the small parts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Value for money: 4/10 Though is cheaper compare to Super Heroes theme, but still pricey.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall: 5/10 Extra accessories, cute minifigs and a nice spider.</div>

<b>Accessories</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here we have a carrot, a printed tile with letter pattern, a long stick and a book. The book somehow is low in quality, once you fold it, there will be a folding line appear.</div>

<b>Minifigs</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Currently Gandalf only make appearance in this set, however he soon will make his appearance on one of The Hobbit playset. Gandalf and Frodo torso are printed on the both side. Frodo have two expression printed on his head, a happy and a sad expression that is. I would say a nice minifigs, but there are just too much Frodo in the LOTR playset. </div>

<b>Horse Cart</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although this was one small and simple set, but the cart is perfectly made and it looks just nice. On top of that, you can just use the cart in your castle setting. blend pretty well with them.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now here is the picture of the cart alone. The cart can be easily separated and that makes me have a more positive opinion towards the set. As you see, the seat is there have only one stud. So when Gandalf ride on it it either seated to the left or right. Attached to the cart is a barrel and a bag that hold some goods that Gandalf carries around with him.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Completed models</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cart is very useful to those that are making the historic scene and the cart have it's shape instead of a square one. I would recommend this set for a starter or kids. Easy and fun build.</div>

Playability: 2/10 No playability in here other than moving wheel.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Building experience: 6/10 Simple and fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Parts: 4/10 Not really a nice part in here, but it made a great cart.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Value for money: 4/10 Pricey, should cost RM60 instead of RM80. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall: 4/10 Good set to overcome brick addiction, with two nice figs and a horse, but not a so good price.</div>
