LEGO Star Wars 2012 Advent Calendar (9509) Round Up

December 25, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The 2012 Star Wars Advent Calendar (9509) is now completed and there is a mixed reaction on this set. There are a few hits and a few misses as well with the calendar. With less pieces used than 2011 calendar, will this set hold up to the last year’s model?

Hits

There are a few vehicles that I thought were hits including the Star Destroyer from Day 4 and the Naboo Starfighter from Day 7. For the minifigures, I thought that the Snowman R2-D2 on Day 23 and the Santa Darth Maul in the final day were the best overall minifigures in the set.

Misses

There are also misses with the 2012 Advent Calendar such as the MTT from Day 5 and the Separatist Shuttle in Day 19. I just didn’t think that LEGO captured the representation of the vehicles that well. All the minifigure were decent except for the obligatory addition of the Security Battle Droid from Day 6.

Results

Overall, the 2012 Star Wars Advent Calendar is a decent set. It comes in at 236 pieces, much less than the amount of 266 pieces the 2011 version had so the quality isn’t as up to par as last year. The set retails for $49.99 but it’s been on sale for a while now. Look for it to be on discount in stores now that Christmas has passed. Now is time to wait for next year’s advent calendar.

LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes The Bat vs. Bane: Tumbler Chase (76001) Review

December 25, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

In our second review of the 2013 LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes, we are doing The Bat vs. Bane: Tumbler Chase (76001). This larger set contains 368 pieces and retails for $39.99, a $0.11/piece. The box contains two instruction booklets, three numbered bags, one comic book, and a card with a code to download the LEGO Batman Video Game on Steam. The set is inspired by the scene in The Dark Knight Rises where the Bat chases down the Tumbler in the streets of Gotham, hence the name of the set.
