My Childhood Reborn

" Now before I begin this review of the set I just want to state how much Bionicle means to me. I played with Bionicles ever since I was a little boy (Age 3) , it's what got me into LEGO and I never stopped buying them until they were discontinued in 2010. Ever since then I've been buying other LEGO sets and its been a really fantastic experience for me. I got into the 10 reviewers in LEGO Shop which is absolutely amazing. I'm a teenager now and sadly, (I know this doesn't happen to some people especially AFOLs which I think are some really awesome people), I'm starting to stop not liking LEGO as much. I'm not buying the sets that much anymore and I absolutely hate myself for not wanting or getting into LEGO anymore like I used too. Bionicle, is really the only LEGO series I will buy for now, but It's sad for me. But Bionicle is a theme I can not let go of my life no matter what because it's what started my life. It's apart of me. For LEGO to return Bionicle in stores, its an absolute honor. Just remembering me as a kid buying the sets and now, I'm here buying them once again still not getting board of the theme. Now that's all I have to say about Bionicle and you might be wondering,"Do they hold up to the old sets and is it worthy of Bionicle." Well yes and no depending on the situation. Of course nostalgia is going to make me love the old sets much more than the new ones but I do have to say, these new Bionicle sets, are definitely worthy of the name BIONICLE.

Review - My gosh isn't the Protector of Earth a beauty. It is possible that he may just be my favorite Protector of them all. He seems like he would be the ruler or master of all the protectors. He has a king/powerful look and I love it. What they gave to these new Bionicle sets is a more bulky look compared to the Hero Factory sets and much more beautiful and interesting pieces.

Mask - His mask is beautiful. It has a purple-like and black blended color molded into it. It is absolutely beautiful.

Head piece - The head mold is absolutely marvelous. It looks kind of like the Terminator kind of look which is freaky but it is nice. It allows you to pop off the mask nice and easily.

Function - His functions include a spinning wreking type ball and a new gun piece that allows him to shoot out little studs from his chest.

Other - He has clear purple parts and nice bulky arm muscle and chest muscle which makes him looks very strong. He holds a throwing knife and has interesting 3 footed feet.

Skull Spider - The skull spider is a mask with 4 littles fingers pieces on it. This one is lime green and it looks very terrifying.

Overal - Overall this set is high omn my expectations of what i expected form BIONICLE. It is a beautiful but very small set which isn't really that bad overall. HE is just a protector not a toa. So old Bionicle fans will be satisfied with this set BESIDES some of the Hero Factory parts which I really do not mine. LEGO thanks for giving a pure rebirth of Bionicle and my childhood. (10/10) "

One of the Greatest Animated Movies Ever

" The LEGO Movie Blu-Ray Combo Pack is a awesome product to buy if you don't want the 3D version of the movie and just the Blu-Ray and DVD. I literally bought this movie 3 times with different cases. Thats how much I love the movie! This comes with a slipcase that has awesome artwork on the front which is one of the LEGO Movie posters. Inside there is an Ultraviolet Digital Copy code. You get a Blu-Ray and DVD version of the movie so it's a 2 Dics set. That's pretty much everything this product has in store for you! I did write a review on the Everything is Awesome version of this movie so check that out. Also I did write a review on the movie on that Everything is Awesome review so if you would like to hear my opinion on the movie, please check out my review of that version of the movie. I hope you've enjoyed this review. "

The Greatest Animated Film in Over a Decade

" How I'm going to do the review is I'm going to split it up into 2 groups. What you actually get in the product and the actual movie review.

What You Get - You get a couple of great things in this LEGO Movie (Everything is Awesome Edition) YOu get two Blu-Ray Discs and 1 DVD Disc. You get a 3D version of the movie (Requires a 3D Blu-Ray Player or A PS3 or 4) You also get the normal version of the movie both in Blu-Ray and DVD. The movie also includes a digital download code only for Ultraviolet which sadly, requires Wifi to watch the movie. But hey, at least it came with a free digital download. There is no second layer cover for the blu-ray case which is somewhat a bummer but I'm fine with it. You get an exclusive Vitruvius figure which is the younger version of him. His younger version of him is only in the movie for 5 minutes but it's nice to get him. You also get a 3D Emmet Photo which is interesting fro Blu'Ray to do. It's made of cardboard and you can set it up like a frame because there is a flip on the back of the photo. So that is a pretty cool addition to this Awesome Edition.

The LEGO Movie Review -

How to start of this review? Hmmmmmm. How about "Everything Was Awesome!" I know, pretty overused at this point. But the LEGO Movie is awesome and I'm not just saying that, you're guaranteed to enjoy it.

Plot - The Story is about a ordinary guy named Emmet who is said to be the special. He eventually goes on this Journey with some Master Builders from stopping Lord Business from doing the evil stuff that he is supposed to do. Surprisingly the plot is really smooth. It takes a while to get adjusted during the beginning but towards the middle, you are totally adjusted to the plot. And the plot seems to work out just perfect not too much not too little.

Characters - The cast of this movie is like, to be honest, one of the best casts in an animated film ever put to film. We've got Christ Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnet, Charlie Day, Liam Neeson, even Morgan Freeman put in the films main roles. Each actor portrays the emotions of the character so well. The voices just work with each individual figure. So the characters are portrayed very carefully and well during the film each one at the right time.

Animation - The Animation in this movie is so good. You literally feel like you are inside a LEGO world. The animation looks like Stop-Motion, but it's actually computer animated which actually makes everything look a it better. You literally could imagine this happening on your kids or your LEGO's. It's like you are watching little tiny Minifigures going on an adventure. Also when things are blown up or smoke is coming out of vehicles, it's all LEGO bricks manipulating everywhere. It is genius animation, just it just fits with the LEGO movie.

What to Except - Pure satisfaction and maybe even more. This is one of those kids films were parents enjoy it just as much as their kids EQUALLY. There is a ton of Pop culture references in the film that everybody today can relate to so much. There is literally non-stop funny humor throughout the film. And a some of it is adult humor to keep the adults very entertained and into the film. What mainly to expect is "Getting Super Surprised" When you here about a movie about LEGOs, your just thinking "it's going to be a huge advertisement for sure." But it felt like it wasn't advertising anything at all. There were so many life lessons in the movie that are not hard to catch especially to the parents. Family lessons that aren't just any silly all life lesson, but something deeper and more. All these lessons and heart-warming moments are fit into one whole 100 minute movie very smoothly surprisingly. In the end is what will really get you but I can't spoil it because that would ruin the whole movie. So parents, children prepare for a surprising film, trust me.

Overall - Overall the LEGO movie is a enjoyment for the whole movie but not just like any old good animated movie. This is something more. Something more, something movies these days should have. It's been more than a decade until we've had amazing movies like this. Disney still has there A-Game on, but I think Warner Bros. Is starting to step up their game. So should you buy it on. Blu-Ray or Watch it? Both. You can watch this so many times and always keep on being entertained. The LEGO movie is one of the, or just maybe, the greatest animated film ever played on the big screen. (A+) "

One of the Most Unique LEGO Spaceships Ever Made

" So I recently just bought the whole line of Guardians of the Galaxy sets because I'm really pumped for the movie. And I do have to say, this set is definitely not a let down and it is unique and amazing. First I'm going to talk about the mini figures and than I'll move on to the ships themselves.

Minifgures:

Star Lord - This version of Star Lord is exclusive to this set because of its print. There's another Star Lord in the $20 set but the print on the torso and legs are different. This variation of Star Lord is very cool. His legs are exactly the same as Drax and Gamora's legs with the red suit-like style. He's waring a red jacket that has a lot of detail on it. His face printing doesn't resemble Chris Pratt's face which didn't bother me that much. HE also includes a weird little robot thing that looks like something that helps defend him I believe. It's a nice little mini build.

Gamora - Gamora is exclusive to this Summer wave of mini figures. She has a green face and nice hair with pink highlights. Her torso resembles a similar jacket to Star Lords just more fit for a woman.

Drax - I wasn't too into the Drax figure because the colors on him didn't resemble the one in the film that much, but he is a very well done figure. His torso and arms have really well made red tattoos with a whole lot of detail. His dace is pretty plain with only 1 side face with a pit of red on it.

Ronan - Ronan I believe is the main villain in the movie (don't get me wrong because I haven't seen it) and he's a interesting figure. He doesn't look like a very evil figure more like a Star Wars alien thing. He has place and grey pants, black and grey torso, blue hands, a blue face , a interesting grey helmet, and a nice black cape. He includes the silver orb and a hammer, weapon type thing.

Sakaaran - There are 1 Sakaaran in every Guardians of the Galaxy set so he is the only non-exclusive figure. I really like the Sakaaran though they are so cool! He has a halo type fun and grey pants, a cool torso, a black cape helmet, and a very menacing and cool looking face.

Main Builds:

Necrocraft - I have mixed feelings about this mini ship for the bad guys. It looks kind of sloppy but pretty cool. Maybe thats what it's supposed to look like in the film. It has a nice cockpit with a window with very cool red stickers. It has two of those easy blasters that you just touch a bit and they shoot. Its a very great build, definitely weird, but it's a nice little addition to the set.

Milano Spaceship - This spaceship, to be honest with you, is one of the most unique spaceships LEGO has ever built. In Star Wars, we get a lot of spaceships but they all look a bit too similar. Spaceships that look like this are what we want because they're different and unique. It's a lot bigger in width than I thought it would be. The ship isn't long at all, but its very wide. It has that type of bird look and resembles a lot to the pictures I have seen from the movie. The ship is so satisfying in the set it completes it and satisfies you. IT is very well detailed and overall epic. Inside the ship there is a reclining chair for Star Lord that has two holders for his blasters. You can fit knives andy other guns in the holders too, but not swords because they are too tall. There are also two more seats for Gamora and Drax. It's a tight fit but still very cool. There is also one more seat which is meant for Rocket Racoon, who is not in this set. He's in another set so if you buy the $40 set, you can put Rocket in the seat. In fronton the seat is a giant boom box that plays the,"Hooked on a Feeling' song. Its a nice mini build and you can remove it from the ship. The overall outside of the ship is so cool. In the back, there are so many wings. They just went crazy on the detail in the back. There are many flaps and turning things that it just gives the ship a name for being a spaceship. The front has a bird like face which is unique and very well done using blue and yellow pieces. When looking from the top the ship looks very wide and huge. Underneath there is a lot of detail too giving it a really great spaceship look. It includes gun blasters and flick fire missiles. Overall, the ship is a absolute masterpiece.

Conclusion:

Overall the set is satisfying, it's organic, its special. I definitely recommend it to all Marvel fans because this movie looks very cool, like the next Advengers. So go out and by this awesome thing. Hope you enjoyed my review and have fun building! (10/10) "

Superman™: Metropolis Showdown

A Great Way to Get The Man of Steel!

" I bought this set just so I can get the mini figures, because I thought the movie was great! And the Metropolis showdown was a amazing scene in the movie! Now the car and little antenna tower actually weren't from the movie, they were just add ons so it can be an actual set. In the movie they fright in bunch of city places and shops and stuff like that so you could make the perfect scene with a city! Now lets get onto the figs!

Superman - The main reason I bought this set was to get this dude! A absolutely amazingly designed figure! A huge improvement from the light blue one with the silver lightings dark blue colors and a stand-out Superman sign. This truly makes Clark look like he's made of steel. He gets a great red cape, a serious heroic face, and a cool hairpiece with a little curl which covers up a little of his face.

General Zod - General Zod is also a fabulous minifigure! He has a similar tosro to superman just more white lightings and black backgrounds on his torso and pants with the Superman sign on his torso (because the S is a sign of Zod and Clark's planet and a sign of Hope). So overall a great evill villain mini figure.

Car - You get a nicely made yellow car which is a great addition to LEGO cities!

Antenna Tower - The Antenna Tower has 2 cool figures! First of all, you can put the car or Zod on top of the grey flat bricks, and superman can go over and push on the opposite side of the grey bricks where Zod or the car is and make the Car or Zod fly up in the air or bounce away! Also there is a feature where you can make the tower part of it fall down on the car, Zod or, even Superman. You can make either one of them hold it and battle each other!

So overall, I really think this set is a good set for $13 and I recommend it to anyone who love the Man of Steel movie! Rating - 10/10 "

An Evolutionary Robotic Dragon!

" I really think the Ninjago creators put a lot of effort into this set. The Dragon is full of excitement and features! But lets first get onto the minifigures!

Minifigures:

Nindroid - The nindroids are really cool! This is your ordinary Nindroid you get in a lot of these 2014 Wave 1 sets. The printing on the legs are black and have parts of a purple robe and silver metal. The front torso is full of detail including a purple scarf or robe and some robotic inner pieces. One arm is black and the other is silver. The headpiece is super robot looking and the mask is super cool with nice eye detail.

General Cryptor - This guy is the leader of all the Nindroids except for the Overborg. He's actually in 3 sets in Wave 1 2014 so he's not that exclusive. But he is really cool mini figure. It's pretty much the same just a little different details and he has a black chest armor on.

Sensei Garmadon - This is exclusive to this set for Wave 1 2014 but he is probably going to be one of the most wanted mini figure in this set besides Evil Wu. This is the Garmadon after being evil. He has black jeans and a nice robe torso. He has a green stash on him and some Japanese writing on the right side of his robe. He has a very elder, wise, and serious look on his face which shares some resemblances to his old evil mini figure look barely. He has a lot of grey hair too and he is a super cool mini figure.

Lloyd Garmadon - Lloyd Garmadon is in 2 sets for Wave 1 2014. He has plain green pants and a really cool torso with neat designs. He has 2 golden swords in his hand, a green bandana over his bout, and some cool blonde hair like in the show. He also has his classical Lloyd face on too.

Evil Sensei - Woah! Look at that! Sensei Wu turns evil! And I'm not quite sure if this is right because I haven't seen the new season yet, but I think the Overborg turns him into a evil sensei. He has black pants, a similar torso to his old versions just there is symbols and colors representing the Nindroid designs. He has a black beard, staff, and a grey sensei hat. He has a half robot face and half human face with red eyes. He also has handcuffs too and overall he is a absolutely awesome mini figure.

Main Builds:

Nya's Car - And Nya has another secret vehicle! And it is super cool! There is a neat cockpit were Sensei Garmadon sits in and a top seat above the cockpit were Lloyd would sit. Lloyd;s sat is flexible and has a cool flag connected to it and two huge blasters on the right side and a hook flick missile! There are 4 gold and black wheels and golden swords on the front of the car to give it a look of Ninja! On the back of the car there are two orange and grey engines. When you push the engines it activates the 2 blasters beside the cockpit. The blasters will then go up and shoot a flick missile. But it is kind of hard to get it to shoot and sometimes it might get stuck so you have to give the engines a really good flick! Over the car is a nice little build which is a great addition to the set.

MechDragon - The MechDragon is absolutely amazing and epic! I love it so much! It may not be my favorite compared to the Epic Dragon/Lloyd's Green Dragon but he is one of my favorites! His face isn't like 1 or 3 pieces like the previous dragons, it's actually made up of a lot of pieces. There are stickers for his eyes and forehead. His eyes are sliver metal which is super unique and cool! His forehead is flu of cool detail and he has a white plain goatee (I think it is) and a grey nose. He has some silver Bionicle eye pieces on the side and silver piece. His bout can open not very easily. So I think his head was really well made! He has 4 legs which are pretty small but neat. He has unique paws which grey and light grey nails. Only two of the paws have nails but they all still look cool. The dragon's tail can move with a function which lets it move back and forth. His tail has purple spikes and black and grey colors with a black point on the back. His tail is kind of small and flimsy but it is cool. On the sides of him there are removable gliders for the 2 nindroids so there are two gliders! The glider can only go on the normal nindroid because he has a piece on the back of him which connects pieces so if you want to use the 2nd glider you have to put that certain piece on another nindroid you have. The front of the dragon is super detailed. There is a printed saw piece on the front and a detailed sticker on the front which is super cool! There is a seat where the Evil Sensei sits or stands in. The front is cover with transparent red pieces and chainsaws! The dragons wings are absolutely epic and full one cool functions. The wings are black and silver and both wings are pretty much the same. The silver wings have red and black on it and the black wings have purple on it. The super cool and my favorite function is the huge giant saws! The saws are black and silver. To work the function you push down a triangular purple piece which moves the saw across some function wheels which makes the saws activated and spin. That is a really fun feature! The dragon is mainly covered with purple, black, and grey colors and the Dragon is so so stunning.

Overall I am a huge fan of this set! I have pretty much no problem with the builds in the set but the set is pretty pricy. There are only 691 pieces in the set and it is $90 in the US. 691 pieces is the average price of a $70 set and there is only 5 mini figures which is not a problem especially since you get 2 exclusive figures. So the set is kind of pricy but it is really big so that pretty covers up me getting a good deal on this. I am normally the most excited for a Dragon set in the Ninjago series because they're always amazing and unique. So I defiantly recommend this set to all Ninjago fans and this set is truly stunning! Great job LEGO!

A Magnificent Masterpiece. Absolutely Stunning!

" A standing ovation for the Lego Modular creators. Wow. I can not believe how wonderful this set is. This set is just, wow. I don't know what to say. The set is amazing and stunning. I have a whole lot to say about the set at the end but lets get to the main review!

Minifigures:

Chef - All the modular mini figures always have the classic LEGO happy, yellow face. The chef is a neat mini figures and includes plain white pants, a classic chef torso, a knife, and a classic chef hat.

Waiter - The waiter is a fancy, classical minfigure. He includes plain white pants, a business suit, a waiter trey with a beer bottle on it, and nice brown hair.

Girl - The girl actually seems to be a teenager or a young adult. The girl has blue pants and something I thought was interesting is that she is wearing the Sensei Wu torso. She also has long, nice brown hair. She also includes a red classical 50s type motorcycle or scooter or some type of bike.

Romantic Couple - The romantic couple is 2 minfigures which is a man and a woman. The man has light brown pants and a blue business suit. He has blond hair and a wedding ring (also known as the ring from the Lord of the Rings) ready to propose to his girlfriend or soon to be wife. The woman has sand colored pants and a blue torso with a seashell necklace. She has long orange hair and a wine glass.

Main Build:

Now before I can give you guys the detail to this main building I have to tell you guys that I will be splitting the set into the 3 floors so I'll talk about each floor and more one at a time.

1st Floor (Parisian Restaurant) - Now the Parisian restaurant is incredible. It's like no modular I have ever seen. The outside detail is amazing. On the left side of outside building in the front are seats for outside customers. There is a table with one seat that has a croissant on it and a table with two blue chairs. The outside eating area has 3 black chains with green flowers under them surrounding the eating area which is a fantastic feature. There is also 2 yellow flowers in maroon red pots in the area too. The entrance to the restaurant is very detailed with a red carpet leading to the entry way and a clear door to enter inside. There is a fancy red over curtain to give it a fancy look and a label/logo that shows the Restraunt's name "Chez Albert Restaurant". There is also a cool little menu on the outside on a stand so the customers can see what delicious treats the restaurant can offer for them. On the right side of the outside there is a brown bench and a lamp post plus some green spiky plants. There is also a brown detailed stairway that heads up to the 2nd floors outside area. On top of the 1st floors outside are some very detailed shade gliders made of black cell-like doors and tree leaves plus some lamps. There are also some giant brown windows in the eating area. Inside there is two tables, one containing two black chairs and the other containing two black chairs as well. There are various of brown windows and a painting of a ship sailing in the night. There also is a very cool beer holder with 4 classes of various of colors in the case. As you can see inside the romantic couple are talking until the young man decides to propose! (Well you don't have to make that happen it's just my imagination and what he's supposed to do.) As you can see the waiter is also running after the couple to refill there drinks. The ground is made of various of colors but mostly tan smooth bricks. If you didn't know, the 1st floor is supported by a brand new 32x32 grey baseplates which you normally see bigger. As you go over to the chef's kitchen there is a beautiful blue and black patterned tile floor. There is a place where the chef is cooking a roast turkey and behind him are various of tools to use for cooking including knives and cake rollers. There is a white fridge in the corner. There is a area to wash the dishes containing plates and glasses. There also is a are which holds cupcakes and pies. There is a clock up above and a broom stick holding on the side. The kitchen and the eating are is separated by a tiny bar that has red flowers on it. The whole restaurant is made of olive green colors and light grey colors. Incredibly detailed and fun! The back side outside of the place is very detailed too. There is a green trash can and a trash dumpster that is open and full of hot dogs, grapes, and bones. Next to those two trash things is a grey mice. There is a door that leads into the kitchen that has above some red and white shade gliders. On the walls of the restaurant outside back are green plants/vines that have red flowers on them and weeds.

2nd Floor (Couples Apartment and Outside Parisian Eating Area) - After a long night at the Parisian Restaurant the couple finds themselves in the upstairs apartment! Inside of the apartment is 3 doors one leading to the outside front view of the building, one leading to the outside back of the building porch, and one leading outside to a area with stairs leading to the 3rd floor and the area were the 2nd floor restaurant eating area is (which I'll talk about soon). There is a red lamp in the apartment and a kitchen full of various details like the oven and the pantries. there is a seat with a table that has a coffee cup on it. There is a spinning chair that has a desk in front of it that is clear and black. There is a fold up chair that you can fold down to reveal a cozy sandy colored and light blue colored patterned bed. There is a fire place that is greatly detailed and warm which is also connected to the outside chimney. The outside of the apartments front detail is very cool. There are two huge windows which have pink and green flowers below them. In the middle of the apartment is a porch which one of the couple can walk up and look at the beautiful city they live in (If they live in a beautiful city). On the right side of the building is a cool part of the chimney with various of details like the grey bricks and random tiny light grey spots. On the back of the building is a really cool stairway that leads up to the 3rd floor. There also is another porch. Another thing that is apart of the 2nd floor is the outside 2nd floor dining area! Yes the Parisian restaurant still doesn't end! There is a mini area that has 2 tables that each contain two blue chairs. There is a area that has a bottle and a wine glass. There also are various of black bars and some lamp posts that are holding pink beautiful flowers.

3rd Floor (Art Studio) - The Art studio is beautiful too. Inside is a fire place that you can close and open. The studio is small but still very detailed. There is a thing to hold artwork; there's one piece of artwork in the holder. You can see the girl painting a picture with her unique paintbrush and her unique paint palette (a piece of wood with various of colors of paint on it).
The girl seems to painting a bunch of random colors but if you were a mini figure it's probably beautiful artwork. Or it's something very abstract. The artwork studio has a door that opens out to the outside which you can go downstairs to the restaurant or apartment. The artwork studio is absolutely amazing and I love it so much. How you enter the artwork studio is you push down the back part of the 3rd floor and then you can see all what is happening inside which is a really nice feature. The outside door has a plant next to it, a lamp, and some yellow and white shades. There also are some red and green flowers at the bottom. The outside front of the building is absolutely amazing. It is so detailed that I was stunned with the build. On the bottom of the front are grey feathers which give a incredibly fancy and cool look. Up above are two circle details that are super fancy. There are white croissants on both sides of the build and a white seashell in the middle. These builds are super fancy and lovable. In the middle of the outside front are medical black windows and a white lamp-type thing on the top. Most of the front is made of smooth blue pieces moving down like a waterfall which gives it a very old-fashioned fancy look. It's a incredible look too! On the right side of the floor is the rest of the chimney. It has grey bricks and random small grey pieces. At the top of the chimney there is the classical top of a chimney with 4 grey cylinder pieces which resemble a chimney-top!

So as you can see from the review this modular is amazing. When you put it all together the modular is fantastic and stunning. I could look at it 24/7 if I had the time. When you look at the back of the whole building it looks incredibly detailed too! It has so much to offer! Some people were wondering why this set is a little bit more expensive then your average LEGO Modular (Excluding the Town Hall) and the reason is because the set contains about 2500 pieces. If you think about it, the average $150 Modular set has 2000 to 2300 pieces but this one has more. So basically the set is $160 so its just $10 more for about 200-500 more pieces which is a incredibly good deal! And as everybody knows the modular sets are like expensive but they contain a whole lot of pieces compared to the average $10 equals 100 pieces type of thing. In my opinion, this is the best modular LEGO has ever made. It is a huge improvement compared to the older ones which were huge surprises too. What can I say; the LEGO Modular creators are getting better and better! This is a series, serious must buy for all advanced LEGO builders! IT is a absolutely incredible set! I recommend this set to everybody in the LEGO world who can build a big set and I hope you enjoy this magnificent masterpiece! 10/10 "

The Elf Army is Prepared and Ready for Attack!

" This set is absolutely fun and worth it. I'll talk about my main thoughts at the end but lets get onto the main review!

Minifigures:

Thranduil - The Thranduil mini figure is very fancy. His legs are printed with rich colors and gold and green fabrics. His torso is very detailed too with the olive green and gold colors with fancy fabrics. Thranduil's face is very serious and stern looking. His hairpiece is awesome. It's blond and very long with a really cool king crown on top of the hair. Thranduil carries a sliver sword and overall, he is a epic minifigure.

Mirkwood Elf - The Mirkwood Elf has 2 Elvish like Daggers and nice green printing on the legs which resample green and brown just like his torso. His face is very serious-looking too and he has brown long hair with his elvish big ears.

Mirkwood Elf Archer (x2) - You get 2 exactly the same minifgures which are the Elf Archer's which are cool mini figures too. The Archers have the same torso and leg printing as the normal Mirkwood Elf and they also have the same face as the normal Mirkwood Elf. The only difference is they have green hoods, a bow, and arrows in the back of them.

Gundabad Orc (x2) - I really like the orcs. You get 2 orcs which are exactly the same except one of them has a shoulder pad with tooth things on the sides. They have nice leg printings which also resemble a lot of bone particles and there torso is similar, it just has a little more brown added to it. There face prating is very detailed resembling a face that is full of evil. There is white paint on there face and some back head printing.

Brown Warg - Some people don't count this guy a mini figure but he is a animal figure so I'll just talk about him. The brown warg is super awesome. He has a very evil looking face with his sharp teeth. His jaws can move up and down and he also has a grey holding stand which a orc can sit in.

Main Build:

Bow and Arrow Stand - The Bow and Arrow Stand is a nice mini build. There is one Bow hanging on it and there is also a mini silver micro figure on the bottom. You can connect this to the main build which is what I always do because I don't like things being separate.

Mirkwood Forest/Army Base - I really like this build because of all the features and fun it contains.There is a Giant tree stand which you can move on the left side or the right side of the base. At the bottom of it is a small barrel and some tree-like details. At the top there his a bunch of tree branches including dark green and olive green leaves. There is a feature where you put a mini figure on a stand and then you tap the back lever of the feature which makes one of the branches fall down and making the mini figure jump past the tree while it falls down. That was a really creative feature. On the skinny or main part of the base is a line of great detail. There are various of features that have tree like resemblances an Elvish shields lined up (x2). There is a ladder which the orcs can climb up to get into the army base. The ladder you can take off so the orcs can't go over. On the back side of the base are 2 places for a archer to stand and shoot arrows at without getting harmed. There is a flick missile in the middle which is pretty easy to flick. This army base/forest rocks!

So overall this set is worth the money by far. You get 6 mini figures plus a orc for $30. Normally you would get 3 or 4 minfigures in a $30 set but you get SIX mini figures plus a Warg in this set! A pretty good bargain there. The whole base looks like your average $30 set and overall, I definitely recommend this set to all LOTR fans and Hobbit fans! This set rocks! 10/10 "

Magents Rule! And that's what Bilbo Loves!

" These magnets are pretty cool. So you get a minifgure (which is Bilbo) and a cool background scenery. What was disappointing was that you can't remove there minifgure from the scenery. But the magnet is cool anyways and so is the bilbo minifgure. You can attach this epic magnet to anything magnetic so you can see and imagine the world of Bilbo Baggins! "
