The Last Jedi exhibits @ Mid Valley Concourse

In conjunction with the upcoming release of The Last Jedi, there was some Lego and Toy Exhibits going on at the concourse of Mid Valley Last Year.

C-3PO: I tell you R2, we are always the last to know about anything!!!

Missus trying to force choke BB-8

So what did you think about the movie? Great? Good? Bad? Rip Off?

Diorama's...

But these were the ones that usually garners the most attention - if you happen to be a Lego fan.

Well, not only Lego was available but...

It was just co-incidental that Moi wore that T-Shirt then! :)

Look how close I am to them stormies...

The End.

Of Lego Millennium Falcon and Kre-O's Star Trek Enterprise

Yours truly has always wanted one. And thanks to a new Lego online store in Malaysia called MightyUtan, it was! And after many countless nights of building (whilst I keep missus a-company as she did her office work), I built this...

Needless to say, I had made some colour modifications due to the immense amount of extra parts I had collected over the years from various Lego sets... :)

Small ... meet Big! That's how small the Microfigther is!

Oh wow... what's this? Well, yours truly needed to ship some stuff over from the States. Sadly, this is one brick set that wasn't ever to be sold in Malaysia. So, along with other stuff, I shipped this out from the States using an online service called ComsGateway... Along with the Kre-O came a Hot Wheels Enterprise!

Anyway, this is how Kre-O packages its product. Very different from Lego... especially...

Minifigs! They are individually packaged. I must say that I'm neutral on this. One one hand, it makes life so much easier compared to Lego's style. But having grown up with Lego's style...

It would be nice if Kre-O HAD actually labled Part 1, etc on their manual...

But here is the saucer section done up.

And part of the body.

Connecting the 2 parts.

This is what the Port Nacelles look like once completed.

And finally, all completed.

I still haven't made up my mind on whether I wanted to leave the Hot Wheels in its pack or display it!

Having done my first Kre-O brick set, here are some thoughts:
a) 99% of the set fitted perfectly. Until now, I still have problems with a certain part under the saucer section that just doesn't want to 'stay there' permanently. It doesn't really interfere, but its annoying. Keeps popping off!
b) One cool thing in the manual is the product orientation. They actually do a top down as you continually add the parts; so it provides added reference for you... in case you get confused.
c) The parts certainly fit onto Lego pieces. So...
d) Minigfigs have more degree of 'movement' compared to Lego's... but it also makes it a bit harder to stand!

Otherwise, I am happy that I have a piece of SciFi Pop Culture in my home!

Now... am interested in that Delorean time machine... :P

The End.

10 Months On... And our Christmas Tree Ornaments

"Hi there. Do you like my Einstein hairdo?"

 Now what can these be?

 Something different and they make great Christmas gifts too!

 2 babies who welcome Christmas in 2013. Getting their Christmas Tree Keepsakes... Needless to say, some frenzy stitching from the missus!

 And what ARE those globes???

 Hint: Lego... Star Wars...

Sorry, we just can't resist. Nobody said we were conventional by any means anyway! :p

The End.

Lego (250 GT Berlinetta) - Shell Promotion

So here's the last of my set of Lego Shell Promotion!

The sum of all it's parts.

And the finished product.

I must say that this easily looks like one of the best sets I've put together. There's just something cute and quaint about it. Look the that signal & brake light! :P

The End.

Lego (Mini Figs) - Shell Promotion

I had this donated to me by my brother as you can only get them if you buy the V-Power line of fuels. I don't as it's kinda wasted on me 1.2cc engine!

 As usual, the sum of the many figs and 'things' that you will fix up.

 3 mini figs. They will make a nice collection in addition to the massive Star Wars Ep. 4-6 that we already owned... and Harry Potter and POTC.

The End.

Lego (Scuderia Ferarri Truck) - Shell Promotion

And here we have the Ferrari truck. Actually, I would have preferred the California or the Enzo, ah well...

As usual, the sum of it's parts.

The completed thing.

Next to it's bigger 3-in-1 Creator that I have previously owned. I would say it's about 70% smaller that the Creator but hey, it's ONLY RM12.90 vs almost RM80 (I think) for the Creator...

But then again, with the Creator, you disassemble everything and it can be reassembled into something else... Provided you don't loose the manual of course! :P

The End.

Lego (Ferrari FXX and F40) - Shell Promotion

So here we are with another 2 from the recently released set.

1st up, the sum of all the FXX parts.

And after it's assembly...

Looking good in black!

When you have big fingers or feet as well (in my case!), and tiny stickers... yes, things get a little ...er...

Ah well, picture says it all!

The F40's turn.

Vroom vroom indeed!

Looks pretty fierce eh?

3 super cars.

The promotion has now changed. You can just walk in and purchase 1 car for RM12.90; provided you have a Bonuslink card. But you're still restricted to 1 set/day (I think).

Or pump in RM40 for V-Power and you get to buy a max of 3 at one go.

Oh! They also have mini figurines for sale. Haven't decided on those yet though... Maybe I'll get them last as both of us are more interested in Harry Potter, Star Wars and Pirates's minifigs. :)

The End.
