I think the Chima lions need to go on Roller Skates in order to recreate the msucial Cats in Lego. Have you seen good pictures of the Lion leader? He looks pished! In other news, review of the upcoming mini TIE-Bomber and Asteroid Field. I...need it. -Ralph

My minifigure-less Z-95 Headhunter arrived today. It's a fun build and the finished article is huge- it's very thin but it's as wide and probably longer than the X-wing. I love the look of it too- it's got those swooping lines like an old 50s hot rod.
The four-armed jedi chap actually looks quite fun, but he wasn't worth the price of a new one. I got the ship for 19 quid including postage and I'm more than chuffed with that. If I'd paid the full 40 I'd be a bit miffed at the low piece count and brevity of the build. Tis the way of the licensed set now, I suppose.

Saw the new Lego SW Battlepacks in Sainsburgeries today, next to some of last years. They look tinsy tiny by comparison but Lego has left a lot of spare room in their packaging before so this is probably a good thing.
However, as is the case with the £30 Chima sets, it does make you hesitate before handing over your cash.

Finished the Sith Infiltrator. Fun, but wouldn't have felt happy paying RRP for it. £40 feels rights. Whereas the Rancor Pit, which arrived today, feels much more worth the money. In with the Rancor was the freebie Legends of Chima promo set Ewar's Acro-Fighter And it's superb. Love it. The figure is mind blowingly good and the vehicle, even though it's a polybag kit, is fab. You can't see it clear enough on the photo but the nose of the vehicle looks like an eagle's beak. Worth ordering £50 from the Lego shop to get this.

And the gate. The gate is top notch fun and the pit has a mechanism for retaining and dropping it.

Rancor Pit has too few bricks for £60. I will grab it on promotion at some point.

Yeah but the Rancor's body only counts as one and that's got to be a good £10 + of the value of the set.
I can honestly say I enjoyed building this sooooo much. My only complaint is that I can't get the Jabba's set to sit on it so that the opening bac of the Jabba Set and the opening side on the Rancor set are on the same side.
Packet 1 is pure love building the portcullis with it's drop mechanism and the Rancor itself which has studs on the shoulders for figures to stand on or weapons to be mounted on.
Palace looks fab mounted on it but I've had to remove the tower to fit it onto the shelf. Will try to get a photo.
NEED MORE LEGO!

There is some cracking stuff in there. The new ladder truck in the City fire line looks fun, and I do think that that this may be the yea that I pick up a few Lego SW starfighters.

On the one hand a great shame, but on the other hand it gives me time this end of the year for some SW and City sets....
