LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
This is another guest post by our new reviewer, Dave. Follow him at deviantART and on Flickr to see more of his work.
When I went to Toys R Us to get my LEGO Legends of Chima Legend Beast sets, I knew I could only afford two at the time. I knew I was getting the Lion regardless, so it was a toss up between this guy and the Wolf. I ultimately chose the Gorilla Legend Beast (70125) because I felt his brown parts would supplement those from the Lion well.
Hello Readers Of The Brick Fan. My name is Dave, I’m an AFOL from Central California. I am writing a review as a guest on Allen’s news and review website. Firstly I’d like to give a big thanks to Allen for allowing me to contribute set reviews to his blog and allow me to get a little more exposure. Now a little more about myself. I’ve been playing with regular LEGO ever since the Age of 2, and I’m 25 now. I primarily focus on MOCing in the less popular “Constraction” style of LEGO (i.e Bionicle, Hero Factory, and other figure building lines). My MOCs can be found on deviantART or Flickr. As a Reviewer, I look at sets primarily as a MOCer and from the standpoint of how a set can be utilized for its parts as well as trying to appreciate the build of the set. I like to use a basic “Pros Vs. Cons” style of reviewing. However, for the sake of writing here on Allen’s blog I will also be using his scoring system. Thank you for reading my reviews and I hope you find them helpful.
Hoth Bricks is reporting that the new LEGO Star Wars Sandcrawler (75059) will be officially revealed in March at Brick Cascade 2014 in Portland, OR. Early reports of the new Sandcrawler is that it will go for $349.99 and will be a larger, regular set much like the Ewok Village (10236) from last year. Hoth Bricks is also reporting that an exclusive Slave I, possibly with an Ultimate Collector’s Series label, will be revealed sometime in September. There are no other details for the two sets but at least we get to know a timeframe of when they will be officially revealed by LEGO, if these rumors are true.
