Da Epic Dragon Battle! (TRULY EPIC!)

This is the EPIC DRAGON BATTLE!

It is truly Epic!  This Lego Set is a very cool Ninjago set that features awesome creatures!

The minifigs include:  Sensei Wu, Jay, Lord Garmadon, Loyd, Chokun, Skalidor + Acidus!  The GREAT DEVOURER is a very cool part of the set, and it can literally eat minifigures!  The dragon itself is amazing and can flap its wings and can shoot elements with its four heads!  The set also features a snake prison for capturing those pesky ninja!

            It costs $120 and is very worth it!  It is no longer in stores but you can buy it on lego.com.  You can expect a seriously fun set though the dragon is fragile.  Keep in mind that it is a huge set and is quite tricky to build!  In terms of difficulty I would say 3½ out of 4 stars. 

All in all it is a very cool set, and I would recommend it to any big fan of Ninjago!

LEGO Universe Pets

Bison

Bunny

Warthog

Cat

Skunk

These are pets from a video game called LEGO Universe!
I have built all of the ones pictured above!
I used to play Universe before it shut down and I always liked
the pets in it!  I have built some in the past but not very many.
After writing this down I'm kinda wanting to build some more!
I've built more Universe things like the paradox research facility!
I wanna post some of my LEGO Universe sets on LEGO Cuusoo!
If I do that I'll make another post for it!

Kalmah + Takadox

Takadox

Kalmah


Quite some time ago I got very lucky + found some old Bionicles in stores!
Avery reported finding some but he wasn't sure
exactly which store they were at.  Bionicles have
have been discontinued for 3 years.  So we were blown away when we bought 6 year old Bionicles!
I bought Takadox while
Olive got Kalmah!!!
Takadox has 2 sharp claw
things, a squid launcher + really
sharp teeth!  Kalmah has 3 eyes, a tentacle
whip + a squid launcher!  Avery bought all of them online!
They're very sturdy and posable and are very cool!!!
There are many more of them including Ehlek, Pridak,
Mantax, Carapar, Noctum + many more!  They're 
still some of my favorite Bionicles today!

The Quinjet

The Quinjet

Box Art

Some time ago I had My birthday party (sorry I'm late to post
this) + I got a bunch of sets including the AWESOME
QUINJET!!!  The Avengers is 1 of my favorite movies
+ I also like their sets a lot, so this was a perfect gift!

The quinjet features a detailed interior and a huge
cockpit.  It has huge wings and a deployable drone!
It comes with Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, Loki +
A foot soldier.  It also comes with a really cool alien vehicle.
All together it is one of my favorite sets!

Lego Hero Factory Brain Attack!

Shopping Mall

Spaceport

Classes

Some time ago I found out about
a new Hero factory game called Brain Attack!
The old game was kinda laggy + you don't have lots
of character options, weapons or sidekicks.
The gameplay is very similar to the old games,
 but it also features very good graphics.
You can play it on the computer or an iphone.
I would say the iphone version is cooler cause
you have more levels, characters + weapons!
You can play Furno, Bulk, Rocka, Breez
or many more classes that come in
the expansion pack!  2 levels are
free, and occasionally you can
go on a paid level for free!  The last
level on City Streets has 300
brain worms, but the Shopping
Mall has 400!!!  I beat the last
level for both of them yesterday!
The City Streets required a million
turrets (a glitch, of course) + a lot of
patience!  The Shopping Mall needed
another army of turrets and the whole team!
There are pickups in the game were you
can get a turret, throw a bomb, heal
yourself, speed up or achieve a
weapon boost!  You can
fight a few enemies
including brain
worms,
henchmen,
boss henchmen +
bosses (some henchmen
can explode!)!  The City Streets
level has lots of streets to go down + an
opening subway tunnel!  The Shopping Mall
has lots of platforms + escalators + looks like a
real mall!  The Spaceport has lots of hallways in it,
with a big H logo that opens in the middle!  I've
never played the scrapyard yet but I sure wanna'!
The weapons range from tiny blasters to big
electric weapons!  The weapon pack
comes with even more weapons
for just $1.  I sure wish there
was a weapon that could
throw some bombs!
The game starts
out easy, but
gets really
hard in the end!
I would definitely
recommend this game to one
 of my friends who hasn't already
gone crazy about it!  :)

LEGO Hero Factory Breez 5.0

Breez 5.0

Package

A few days ago we went to see our grandmother in Houston.
We had a lot of fun + went to Toys R Us where I got Breez.
Although i'm strictly a Bionicle fan, there
were none there so I had to improvise.
Maybe Hero Factory guys are cooler than I thought!

Breez 5.0 has a giant blade and a cool saw.
Also Breez has way more armor than you
might expect on an ~air~ type!
This might be one of my favorite sets by far
(besides the death star of course!)!

PS      I would appreciate some post suggestions!
 

LEGO Star Wars AT-RT

AT-RT + Minifigs

Box Art

Not too long ago Olive went to 

Toys R Us to buy a new LEGO Friends set.  

After a long day of school, I wanted something fun to do - 

so I decided to go with them.

 I wanted to get the new BARC speeder set,

 but it wasn't there so I decided to get the AT-RT.

 I didn't regret it!

The set includes: Yoda, a Clone Trooper, a Commando Droid Captain and a Sniper Droid.

The set costs an OK $19.99.

The AT-RT itself is awesome!  It has a rotating canon, moveable legs and a shielded seat for the clone trooper!

It has 222 pieces and is pretty easy to build.

Overall it is an awesome set.  If you're looking for 

something good to buy I would recommend the AT-RT!

Airborne Trooper

Airborne Trooper

Action!!!

Closeup

I can't believe it!  It took forever to finally get it right.
Ladies and gentlemen behold...
 MY AIRBORNE TROOPER!!!

I tried to make one at least 3 times,
and each time I tried -
I failed!
On my first try it turned out all black.
The next time it came out all white.
And once it looked like a death trooper (zombie stormtrooper)!

Today I recycled one mess-up and turned it into the real thing!  I used an old airborne trooper body I had already made and re-sharpied it!
Now I have the real thing!

The Pink Trooper

A few times in the past I've heard requests for a pink trooper.  After looking at some old posts I decided maybe I should finally make a post for it (if I haven't done it already!)!  This particular clone I made a long time ago.  I made the helmet a long time ago.  But about a month or so ago I made him (or her) a body.  I'm hoping I might get some good comments! (pleez!)

ARC Trooper (Awesomely Rad Clone)

Although I've already made an ARC trooper post in the past, I've            got a brand new one that I just made!  I made it for my Kamino MOC that I'm building.  I built him by combining my phase 2 ARC with a phase 1 clone (all the clones in my MOC will be phase 1).
As cool as he is - he's kinda a prototype.  I'll need to get the right parts to finish him.

REAL Clone Sergeant

Clone Sergeant

                     

 

 Anti-Trooper

 

I bet you remember my old clone sergeant post. Well, now I got the official minifig!!!

It came in a new LEGO set with two clones and two destroyer droids!

Currently my favorite clones are anti-troopers.  Anti-troopers are clones who fight stormtroopers.

Not long ago I built an anti-trooper MOC (my own creation)!

It's pretty easy to build an anti-trooper.  All you have to do is give a 

green clone a jetpack and a blaster rifle.

Right now it's my favorite LEGO clone!

Lego Galaxy Sqaud

It's starting to get REALLY obvious to me that i'm never interested in one thing for too long.  This is a really good example:  only a few days ago I thought nothing would stand in between me and lego star wars, but I was wrong!  I just found out about a new line of Legos called Galaxy Squad, and it is insanely, extremely, totally AWESOME!!!  It says it will come out in 2013, but as usual it should come out early for Christmas (I know that through experience!).  I find this a little hard to say, but it's way cooler than Mars Mission!


   UPDATE!!!    whoa whoa whoa!!!  what did I just say!?!

The 40th Post!!!

Guess what?  THIS IS MY 40TH POST!!!  I can't believe it!  There was just those first few posts back in 2009 but now there's 40!  Thanks to all the readers helping me get this far!  Also thank you for all of the great comments!

  I really don't have any plans for the future, just sticking to the usual!  If I could wait I would wait till my 50th post but I couldn't help myself!  This is super exciting,

Lego UCS Sandcrawler

Although most of y'all already know about the upcoming Sandcrawler, I would like to make this official to everyone...  I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SANDCRAWLER TO COME OUT!!!
There is this LEGO website called LEGO CUUSOO where you post you're LEGO creations + if they get 10,000 votes - LEGO will make it into a real set!!!  While I was checking out the sets that won enough votes, I found this awesome LEGO Sandcrawler!!!  I got hypnotized while looking @ the pictures.  But later when I saw the video it got worse!!  Based on the video, it looks like the entire set can be controlled with a remote control!  The mouth opens and the claw can be dropped down.   The claw can even bring stuff to a working conveyer belt!  It should come out in a few months, + if it does I hope I can afford it!

 P.S. When it comes out I hope its the same size as the original model!

Finally..... 2

OK, I know its been the 4th post about this, stuff but I couldn't resist doing it!  As you can see, this is a republic trooper set + it looks AWESOME!!!  I can't say it's cooler than the last set, but I can easily say the minifigs are way cooler!  The republic troopers are a total longshot from my original (as in way more accurate)!  The sith troopers are really cool as well!  I'm really excited about this Lego set!  I can't wait to get it!

The Hexbug Craze

Pretty recently Me + Olive got these robotic bugs called Hexbugs!               Heres a collection of photos I found: 

                                                  My Hexbug                                                                                               

    

 Hexbug Warriors  

 

Other Hexbugs

Hexbug Habitat Set

Currently the only people besides us who have Hexbugs are Avery + Henry!   

Avery has the Hexbug Warriors which are designed to fight each other.   That gave me the idea to upgrade my normal Hexbug to fight other Hexbugs.

I decided I could use salvaged parts to make weapons + armor.

Im looking forward to doing it!

Finally......

Remember one of my posts about republic troopers? And another post where I wrote about how I found out that LEGO was making a republic trooper set?  Well I have to say I just got one!!!!!!!!!  Here's how it happened...  I was on vacation in Houston, and as usual we went to the toy store.  I wanted to get a toy MechaGodzilla but I couldn't find anything good enough. After a while of searching Momma said she would give me some extra money to help me get the Lego Striker Class Starfighter!!!!!!!!  The set includes Satile Shan (a Jedi), a little droid and the republic trooper.  Although the minifigs are really cool - the set is cool as well!  It looks really similar to an X-wing and its wing's can fold in!  I like everything, except the fact that the republic trooper doesn't have a helmet!

UPDATE!!! Around christmas time, LEGO will be making a republic trooper set that comes with helmets!!!  i can't wait!

Robotic Return!

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                    For a long time my "lego army" has not had a lego army!  @ least not since the invincible robots.  That was when I figured out that it would be awesome if I rebuilt my invincible robot army!  Currently I have 4 or 5 robots but I would like to have a lot like I used to have!               P.S.  I going to start now!
