AT-RT
" Now I am missing words for this set, but I mean just WOW. This set is simply amazing. Now you're probably getting bored so I'll hurry up to the pros and cons.
PROS:
-New Yoda design (I think)
-501st Clone Trooper
-Sniper Droid
-Commando Droid Captain
-Really cool AT-RT

Cons:
These are really cons there more like suggestions towards future models.
Anyway,
-Little bit more move ability for the AT-RT
-Maybe a speeder or so for the Droid Captain, or at least a hideout like a rock or a cannon or command centre.

Razcal's Raven Glider
" Now I walked into the store once with some money in my pocket, bound to buy something LEGO. The set I was looking for wasn't out so I bought this. Well I'll list the pros and cons now.
PROS:
Razcal who is exclusive (I think)
Pretty cool raven glider
CHI

What is the flick fire missile with chain for?
Not that much space in the glider
No enemy?

Overall this set is OK, but not amazing. I rebuilt and modified the glider to make it larger for Razcal. That is all I have to say.

GARMATRON
" Whew! This set is very, very cool! Now I asked for this set for my birthday and I was really glad to get it. My friend already had this set, so I got to see it in person, which really made me want to have that set. Now, instead of listing pros and cons, I will write about each part of the set individually.
Minifigures:
- General Kozu- Garmadons right-hand man is exclusive to this set, and I really think that LEGO couldn't have chosen a better set to put him in! Now, Kozu appears to be really tall, but in fact he is only 2.4 cm taller than the swordsman. His helmet is pretty cool, though often when I hold him and play with him, the visor covers his eyes, but that is OK. Kozu comes with two butterfly swords.

His helmet is pretty cool, though often when I hold him and play with him, the visor covers his eyes, but that is OK. Kozu comes with two butterfly swords.
-Swordsman- The Stone Army's main fighter is available in 3 sets. He is well depicted (no duh, it's not like LEGO made the TV series and can check whenever they want with the episodes) and has pretty OK armour. He comes with two katanas.
-Zane KX- The ninja of ice is exclusively put into this set! His kimono is just awesome, with the white belt and highlights. I actually think that all the ninjas look much better when they have the black kimono part and then their representative colour, rather than just their normal colour. The only thing he lacks is a weapon holder, but I guess the increased arm maneuverability makes up for it. Zane's epic ice sword is so cool, (hahahahaha, get it? Oh, never mind that joke is a cliche now) it bends a bit but is really cool. A little, tiny bit of turquoise would make it look good.
The Vehicles
-Garmatron- The main part of the set is essential (you don't say!) for the success of the set. This set has completed that task easily. I tried building something with treads that are the same length as Garmatron's, only black, but my attempt failed. On Garmatron, LEGO has cleverly made them roll (?) smoothly on both carpet and hardwood. The cannon work really well if you know how to use it: The cannon needs momentum to shoot, and if that momentum is present, the inertia of the missile is so strong that it can fly almost 3 meters! The cockpit is pretty large with cool sticker displays, the prison is really good, because if you put some thought into it, Zane (or any ninja, for that matter) can't escape, because the only open way out would be through the cannon room or under the vehicle, none of which are possible without succumbing. Great vehicle!

Great vehicle!
-Ice Spider- Zane only escape and defense other than himself, needs to be a little bit elaborated on. I guess the spider wasn't made super-fancy because it wasn't actually on TV. There isn't really that much movement allowed with the spider, but I don't want to be complaining.
Overall, this set is worth your money. I'll put together the things I have written into a pros and cons list.
PROS:
Two exclusive minifigures!
One common minifigure!
Exclusive ice blade!
Awesome vehicles!
OK price.

The Sarlaac Pit Battle....
" WOW!!! This set is one of THE BEST SETS I HAVE EVER BOUGHT!
The touch that makes it so awesome is the minifigures. All of the minifigures have been epicized: Boba Fett looks more like a Mandalorian, and just overall better body painting than before, Luke Skywalker has much better hair, it still doesn't really look like his hair in the movies, but it's getting there, Kithaba adds a nice touch, while Lando's armour and helmet have been way improved since the last skiff I can remember. The skiff is large and can, with just two hinges and a cockpit, be transformed and rebuilt into SLAVE I. The Sarlaac pit is much better, when I look back at the old Sarlaac pit, it looks pathetic compared to the new one. I'll list the pros and cons now.

Larger and better skiff

two people inside its mouth!

CONS-
Some more clear bricks could have been used, because in the movie, the skiff was far off the ground, but I am pretty sure that LEGO didn't want to put twenty clear pieces in the set because that would cost too much.

Clone Wars Artillery Cannon......
" I was really excited to buy and build this set. The minifigures look like the people in the Star Wars series, which is obvious of course, because it would be ironic to have random people that are not from Star Wars in a LEGO Star Wars set. OK, back to the set. I'll list the pros and cons now.
PROS-
ARC Trooper
ARF Trooper
Commando Droids
Improved leg stability
for the droids
Artillery Cannon
Flick-fire missile
Realistic-looking cannon
Clear brick beneath the cannon

CONS-
There aren't really any cons except for the price, but I guess LEGO has to pay LucasFilm credit for using their ideas in the sets.

Great set, if you are starting your Star Wars, or adding to it, this set fits well with the sets from the same timeline in the series, but can also be added to the sets for the Episodes IV-XI.

The Fire Chief's Car
" This set is great as a gift for someone or yourself! I am quite sure that the box is a new format, but that does'nt matter that much. I'll get along with the review now.
The minifigs:
The fire chief- he wears a new outfit that is quite cool. The main reason I liked that new outfit was because LEGO has had the same outfit for firemen as far back as I can remember. The golden helmet suits him well.

The woman- she is the innocent civilian that lost her cat in a tree. The new outfit is kind of cool.
The Vehicle:
The car- this car is a hatchback and a really great on for that matter! The long roof allows space for both the driver and his equipment. I remember when the roofs of LEGO cars where still short, which made it more difficult to create longer vehicles. This car is great because it has an equipment holder that works as long as you don't turn the car upside-down. The control board inside the car looks neat and realisitic, which greatly adds to the fun.

The tree- a simple but decorative tree is where the cat decides to stay in. Fortunately, the cat can be easily lured down with the fish (included in the set, that is what the purpose of it is BTW ).

The EPIC dragon battle
" Wow. This set is so great that I will stop typing stuff and get on with the review.
The Minifigures:
-Acidicus- he is exclusive to this set and comes with the Hypnobrai fangblade.
-Chokun- The little orange Constrictai soldier comes with his golden mace and helps the Serpentine battle the ninja.
-Jay- the blue ninja comes in ZX form with a little sai as his weapon.
-Lloyd ZX- the green ninja's first appearance in a set! He flies the Ultra Dragon and has a golden katana.
-Lord Garmadon- the evil master is back in black! Four-armed version with all four weapons for the first time!
Sensei Wu- The master of creation in his new 2012 suit for the second time.
-Skalidor- The malevolent Constrictai general comes with an awesome weapon!
Minifigs: 9/10 Great to play with, but some need better weapons.

The prison:
-This prison is full of fun! You can see the primary jail, but what you don't know is that there is a smaller jail at the back; that means you can fit two minifigs into the prison! The prison is also nicely decorated with golden vipers and butterfly swords. Another neat function is that you can tip a small barrel of venom into the primary prison and that the Devourer fits under the bridge that leads up to the prison.
The prison: 10/10 really fun to play with!

The Devourer:
- The giant snake that was planning on eating Ninjago City is now making its first and only appearance in a set! You can fit a minifigure into it's mouth. Sadly, it is not as flexible as you might think and it is also a little bit brittle.
The Devourer: 8/10 because it requires careful playing.

The Dragon:
- the Ultra Dragon is here! Lloyd ZX flies with it into battle against the Great Devourer! This dragon requires a landing on its back feet first before the front feet can touch down. The wings have a handle that you pull to open the wings. It requires some practice getting Lloyd ZX into the cockpit and only two mouths can shoot energy spheres.
The Ultra Dragon: 9/10 some things are a little bit difficult but overall great!

All in all, this set is a definite 9/10, which shows that LEGO has done another fantastic job! Congrats!

Another day in LEGO City.....
" ...Oh no! The robbers are trying to break into the ATM on Red Brick Street! But those crooks better watch out, because when the LEGO city police is around, every crook will be behind bars in notime! This set amazes me from every aspect:
The minifigs:
Police 1: White helmet, specialty clothes and an ATV make him really cool!
Police 2: Handcuffs and flashlight make great accessories, while his loyal dog helps him with everything! ( even eating donuts )
Crook 1: Grey outfit and crowbar are part of his style!
Crook 2: Common garments, but the backpack sure comes in handy you wanna hide the money!

Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase
" WOW! I don't believe how awesome this set is!
The Minifigs:
-Batman- very cool black outfit plus cape with his casual batarang allows Bruce Wayne to fight crime in Gotham City!
Two-Face- The great villian that is always up to no good and will try to get his hands on anything valuable. I was flabbergasted when LEGO actually put the quarter into the set. Thumbs up!
Henchman- really neat idea, they are always helping Two Face get what he wants.
Security Guard- A nice idea from LEGO's side.

Vehicles:
Batmobile- The most EPIC vehicle I have ever seen ( excluding Ninjago vehicles)! The flick fire missiles are cool while the interior is nice and red. The flames at the back give a really good impression of speed.
The Truck- Absolutely amazing, the assorted weapons, machine gun and missile launcher, are really awesome! The crane at the back is also really cool. The only bad thing about this truck is that you can't fit all three minifigs in at once, but otherwise it's amazing!

The Bank- Probably the most creative part of this set.When I built it the details were absolutely astonishing the way the walls are built is really cool, but the only bad thing is that the guard has nowhere to put his phone and handcuffs.
Overall, this set is amazing, so if you like LEGO and Batman, this is for you,
