              75244 STAR WARS Tantive IV

The Tantive IV from Star Wars is a classic one. It first appears in Episode IV when the stormtroopers board it to find the secret plans of the Death Star. There have only been two  models of the Tantive IV (not counting the mini-models) but they were made was back in 2001 and 2011 and not much people got the chance to purchase it, so the UCS Tantive IV was great for people who missed out. The only con was that they weren't able to get the old minifigures and boxes. This set includes an average-sized Tantive IV (it's not big like other UCS sets), a few projectiles and a thing that you carry, most likely a storage unit. The minifigures that come with this set are: Princess Leia, C-3PO, Bail Organa, Captain Antilles and a Rebel Soldier. R2-D2 also comes in this set.




There are several functions in this set, most of them user-friendly like the radar dish. You can use it as a handle to carry the model around. I think doing this isn't the best option for transporting the model from place to place since the radar dish probably can't hold all that weight, but it's user-friendly since there's no problem picking it up. You've got to consider that first before you pick it up with the handle. The next function is the middle of the ship. Open the top and there is a little meeting room with a seat and some clips for guns or something. The good thing is, minifigures can fit while they're standing. There is a problem with a lot of sets because you can only sit your minifigures down or they won't fit. You can fit the soldiers inside the cockpit so they can fly the ship. The big turrets at the top and bottom can move around. The small ones are just for display. 



This Tantive IV starts at around $199.99.

31100 CREATOR 3-in-1 Sports Car

 31100 CREATOR Sports Car The 31100 CREATOR Sports Car is a recent LEGO release, and a CREATOR set. I feel the need to review this to be fair to the CREATOR fans out there, including myself. This set comes with 134 pieces, which can be used to build either a sports car, a hot rod or a cargo plane. There are no minifigures included, which may be a downer for some people, but it's totally fine. The absence of minifigures does not stop this set from being great for both play and display. The sports car is a beautiful model, with its extensive detail and sleek design. The spoiler is foldable, which allows this vehicle to quickly change looks, even if the only difference is the position of the spoiler. It rolls along quite nicely, mainly because of the wheels, which are rarely used elements in the world of LEGO. Maybe it's because of the popularity of the classic wheel part. But anyway, we have to continue. Here is the second build you can make, and it is a hot rod. It's burstin...

60324 CITY Mobile Crane

 60324 CITY Mobile Crane CITY sets are back, with more great builds and minifigs. One of these new sets is a mobile crane vehicle, called 60324 CITY Mobile Crane. It's a great addition to your MOC city, considering that a crane like this has never been made. Yes, there was a TECHNIC version, but how are you going to fit that into your city? I'm just talking about good old bricks. Let's get to the set now. It includes 1 crane, a road plate, and 2 minifigures. Not much to it considering how much you'll have to pay for this set, but still, exclusive parts abound in this one. None of the minifigs are named, but you'll find that they still make appearances in the TV show. All of the unnamed figs still get a part in the show, but that's not what we're here to discuss, is it? The crane looks pretty good, if I may say so myself. It has an operating boom and a working winch system, which is great news for the buyers that want to play with this set and not just displa...

60404 CITY Burger Truck

       As I said last article, I would do an article on the new burger truck set from LEGO, so now here I am doing that. It was a bit more overpriced than I initially assumed, so I wasn't too pleased but I guess it's okay. Anyway, before we get to the price, I want to just introduce the set. It's directed towards those 5 years old and up and included 194 pieces. The sole build is obviously a burger truck, or rather a burger van  because of its humble size with a big detachable burger housing the chef. Technically, the vehicle is just a flatbed van that carries a big hollow replica of the products its owners are selling. Anyway, the set, in terms of characters, is standard for these food truck sets from CITY: 2. There is the burger chef and then some random civilian who appears to be in tune with the local music scene (pun intended)      As you can see, there isn't too much to this set functionally (mostly aesthetics), and definitely nothing that w...
