Rattlecopter!
" This is a great Ninjago set. It doesn't have the playability that you might want. But this set has lots of pieces and is fairly large. However, this set has stickers. I am not the best at putting on stickers and these aren't that easy. The Minifigures are great; they are the main reason for the 4 stars. This set is great; I would recommend it to you right now. The copter is pretty wide actually. There are lots of smooth pieces in this set to give it a good look. The purple green mix looks really good as well. There are lots of spare pieces, not that that's good or bad. The fangs sway back and forth to easily, but it doesn't bother ME too much. You can fix it with your own pieces if you got lots, but that will probably change the nice look of it.
Minifigures
The Minifigures are a huge part of this set. 10/10
Fang-suei
Fang-suei is a great warrior for the fangpire tribe. He is a detailed snake, REALLY DETAILED. The snakes from the bombing function can be his weapons, or the staff. (Unless you have Lloyd stealing it.) 10/10
Lloyd
Lloyd is a great Minifigure. His thunderbolt dagger is great and the fangpire staff is great. His little hood and cape are nice too. He has a scared face and a determined face. 10/10
Kai
Kai is a great ninja with a great jetpack. There are some nice pieces on his jetpack and his daggers are cool weapons as well. Not much else to say besides he is awesome. 10/10
The copter
The copter is pretty large I suppose. The cockpit is really nice and the flick missiles are really nice with the smooth studs on them. The tail could have some work, because it doesn't look detailed. The snake dropping function is different than I imagined. It is a little tricky to put the snakes in, but it still works. The propeller spins right above the cockpit, Lego could have done better here. This set is fragile, but not as much as it may sound. It only breaks if you knock it off a high ledge, or if you drop it when swooshing it. This is not very good for display, but with other Ninjago sets it will do. The red eyes on the front are pretty nice; it gives the copter a better look. It is swooshable, but don't drop it!!!! 8/10
Pros

Cons
Stickers
A tad bit too fragile
Fangs move to easily
Overall, this set is pretty good. Only small cons lower it to 4 stars, like stickers. This set is great, but you need other Ninjago sets. This is one of the good ninjago sets in the new snake theme, if you want a ninjago set this is probably the set for you. There are lots of good pieces to get in this set if you are wondering. (Such as the propeller blades, smooth studs, top of spinner pieces, and knight helmets. This is a great set that you should probably stop considering and buy it. (Unless you don't like stickers or don't plan to get other Ninjago sets) I hope you found this review helpful for this great set, have fun building!!!!!!

EWOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
" There is finally a "cheap" set with ewoks! The battle of endor is too pricey, but this is only $25 and you get two amazing ewoks. This is a cheap set, but not for the value. This is smaller than you might think, and only has 166 pieces. However, the reason I got this was for the excellent Minifigures.
The speeder bike
The speeder bike is a nice addition to the set, so the imperial scout actually has a chance. (A pretty big chance with the pistol too.) The speeder has nice little handles and a backpack on the end. It is a nice little addition that I found charming. There isn't ANYTHING wrong with it, but they could add some things. 8/10
The Minifigures
The Minifigures are the best part of this set; you will find this out too.
Logray
Logray is the little tan ewok warrior. He doesn’t really look intimidating; he actually looks like a smiling fuzzy kid ewok. (Well, the pouch, Skull "hat", and spear help get the point across that he is a warrior.) He is a great Minifigure; I got the set for him and his fellow little friend, Tokkat. 10/10
Tokkat
Tokkat is my favorite Minifigure. He is a black ewok with a green hood and a Bow and arrow. He has a detailed headpiece, with a tiny white feather and brown string. He is a wonderful Minifigure, one of my favorite of all my sets. 10/10
Imperial Scout Trooper
This scout trooper used to be rare, and I guess he could still be counted as a rare awesome Minifigure. He doesn't have a visor; instead you put the helmet over his black head. He is the worst of the three, though he is still amazing in quality. 7/10
The set
The tree itself is very small, but this is a very nice tree, the traps are very good, but I will get to that later. You can see all the traps on the tree, unless the compartment is a trap. It looks pretty nice and is a nice addition to my star wars collection, it blends in pretty well. But if you leave it alone, it can get boring. Combine this set if you want fun. I would recommend the new endor battle pack, or if you have battle of endor. All the branches make it look nice too. It is a pretty fun build, and it is well designed. Now to the traps. However, the area on top is kind of scrunched. Another bad thing is that the end of the missile sticks out; luckily a branch is above it to make it less noticeable. 6/10
Traps
The traps are really cool at the start then well, they get OLD. The catapult worked better than I thought, but with a Minifigure up there it can be tricky to fire right. The log trap is cool, but the scout can really see it coming. The log that comes out the side of the tree is odd, but I guess it is good. The scout won't see it coming unless it already is sticking out. The ladder is nice because you can retract it. The hidden compartment is very hidden, and there is a flick fire missile inside. This really weighs up the other traps. 7/10
The overall picture is very nice, but this set is so small. I had to think about this set allot. The Minifigure convinced me to get it. I was hoping for a bit more, such as space. But these ewoks are so amazing!!! (Not to mention exclusive) I would recommend this set, but only if you have lots of money and or is a star wars/ ewok fan. Hope you like my review, and if you get it have fun!!! Overall 76/100

HEROICA
" This is a great lego game, as always. The new heroica series is great, i enjoy playing them. I was planning on getting Nathuz, but this set was on sale so i got it. The review will be in sections.
Build: The build is great. It is a very fun and not to short of a build. You build this set in sections, then the poster that this set includes shows you three ways to put the parts together, though you can build it however you want. It isn't easy or hard just in the middle. Build: 75/100
Microfigures: All microfigures are great, including these.It comes with: 4 goblin guardians, a goblin king, 6 goblins, and the heroes you can be are: a druid, a barbarian, a wizard, or a knight that is exclusive to this set. They all have a special power i will tell you later. It comes with a hero pack to put your life, keys, defeated monsters, potions, weopons, or gold on. Microfigures: 80/100
Instructions: The instruction booklet says" The first player to move to the target space wins.Every hero pack needs four peices of health on it at the start of the game. Place your hero on the starting space. The youngest player goes first, continuing clockwise. On your turn roll the dice. The number says how many spaces to move. If you roll the shield you move four spaces. Or you can use your heroes ranged skill when you roll the shield. If you land on another players space, move forward to the next ovaible space. If you land on a place adjacent to a monster, you must stop and fight the monster. If you land on a space adjacent to 2 monsters you must fight them both. Any items passed through you may pick up and put on your hero pack. When you land on a space adjacent to a monster, roll to see what happens. If you roll a shield, defeat the monster or use your heroes melee skill. If you roll a sword, defeat the monster. If you roll a skull, move back one space and lose health equal to the monster's strength. IF you roll the half sword half skull do the sword and skull's thing. Goblin stegth: 1 Goblin guardian strength: 2 Goblin king's stength: 3
Barbarian: melee skill : defeat all adjacent monsters and move one space. Wizard: ranged: defeat a monster four spaces away even around corners Druid: ranged: restore to full health Knight: ranged: move up to 2 spaces to defeat a adjacent monster. The rest: potions, gold, wepons, chests, are more things in the derections, but you don't have to use them. And i can't tell you everything. Health: The red peices are your health. You can lose pieces of health by rolling a skull when fighting monsters. If you get to no health, for your turn roll. If one, get one peice back. Two, three, and four are the other ones you can get. Keep rolling on every turn you have untill you have FULL HEALTH BACK. You can change the rules, but those are the most specific. rules: 85/100
Detail: This has many detailed things such as: toad, drawbridge,trees,fireplace, doors, castle walls, letter and chair, and jail. VERY GOOD. Detail: 90/100
Poster: The poster has a miny comic also shown on the club d.v.d. It also shows you the three ways to put the parts together. poster: 75/100
Gameplay, how fun it is: This is a great new series, but they all are to short. It is fun, but to short. You also bounce over each other's heads alot. You can probobly guess that this game is 2-4 players.The lego club is a great way to get updated about not only heroica, but all lego themes. Lego club: 90/100 gameplay: 80/100 Now to the pros and cons:
Pros: microfigures
fun
detail
Cons: to short
As for the price, it is pretty good, but could be better as for all lego sets. I got it on sale for $20 in US. This is another great lego game, i still hope for more Heroica. I am planning on getting Nathuz later, i will update you on Heroica sets if i do get it. I hope you get this set, you will probobly like it. You need lots of people to make it longer and more fun though. If you are wondering the age, it says 8+, but a patient 7 or 6 tear old could play this.
Of course the best one is the one shown on the box. The other two versions you can build aren't as good gameplay. My reviews are getting longer and longer, hope you find them helpful and true. I highly recommend it!!!!!! Overall 85/100
PS: sorry i couldn't get the pictures. It does look good if you are wondering. And this is the board game that thinks it is a video game!!!!! I am also sorry if the spelling is wrong, I am not always the best speller.
PS #2 Lego club gets you magazines, catalogues, and of courese lots of updateing and games. They are also starting to make lego club dvds. It gives you an opprotunity to get brickmaster too! They are great ways to see cool pictures of sets, and you can really learn alot about lego sets too. They are good magazines and reccomend the lego club too. - Scubertawesome "

Not very fun....
" This set can not be played with well, but it a a cheap set, so it can boost your army if you have one. This set could come with a chest and a jewll or something , but the key is the treasure i guess. A rock and seaweed would be cool to make it more underwater than it is. The set is just the giant lobster and a diver with a very tiny vehicle. It comes with a green atlantis key, which can be held by the vehicle. The lobster does have a good sixe compared to the miny one in the $5 set. But it isn't the best for $20. I see it has been on sale, which would make it the price it should be. The lobster is made up of many black and orange claws and cool peices. The build is pretty good, though could be more long. I am not a huge atlantis fan, but it is a pretty unique and good remake of the aqua raiders series. I wish it came with a new warrior that could be a crab, so then the diver could fight someone his own size. Now to the pros and cons.
Pros: diver
cool peices
Cons: price
needs another minifigure
I like minifigures in most sets, that definatly carries on on this set. The Atlantis divers are very detailed and nice. I hope new atlantis sets come with new warriors, possibly another atlantis set. It could be a building in the city booster pack, but hey, lego is the master, not me. I do reccomend this set to build up your atlantis, but without other sets this set gets the bad ratings i gave it. Overall 40/100 "

Not the best remake
" This is not the best remake of skeleton's prison carrige rescue. It isn't the biggest set, and it dosen't do much for you. This set would only serve you nicely if you have many kingdom sets, and wan't to build a huge scene. The old $20 set was much better in every way, but if you don't have it, i would recomend this set because the concept of these two sets is quite nice. If you don't know about the old castle sets though, you sould definatly get this set. The old castle sets were goblins vs. dwarve and knight vs. skeleton. They were more unique in my opinion and included nice detail. But once again, buy this if you don't have or don't ever play with the older versions. The old castle series was much better, but kingdoms sets are still great sources of display and playibility. I love the kingdoms series and hope it continues on.Enough about the old sets, read on! This set is one of my least favorite though. As for the piece number and building, it could be alot better. The dragon knight dark horse is very nice, the attachable horn makes it very interesting and detailed. This set is a $10 set for 50 pieces. It shuold be bigger, or come with a tree or rock of some sort. Anyways, this is a okay set in nearly every cattagory. Now to the pros and cons:
Pros: minifigures
horse
cons: SMALL
I do like the minifigures as shown on the pros. They are the knights, as you would expect in any kindoms set with swords. Thanks for reading, hoped you liked the review! Overall 50/100
Note to lego: Please keep the kingdom and hero factory sereies for along time, i am hoping to get alot of them. "

Hmmmmm...................
" This is an okay set. I love kingdoms and I loved castle sets. So I had to get this set to boost my castle series. I wasn't as impressed with this set like I was with the others the others. It is a big set, but it dosen't stand out. THIS DOES HAVE STICKERS, IF IT WORRY'S YOU. There isn't that many stickers though, so don't be scared because of that. The flag on top adds a nice little touch up to the roof of the tower.There are plenty of good things and bad things, so i will get to the pros and cons early:
Pros: BIG
castle!
Cons: dosen't stand out
Now for the sections:
Minifigures: This set comes with three minifigures. Two lion knights and one dragon knight. They aren't special in any way, but they boost army's number of soldiers nicely for a $20 price tag. They have nice weopons as well, but i will talk about that later.
7/10
Weopons: The weopons include: torch,two spears, crossbow,and two axes. 6/10
The whole set: The catapult is very detailed and can knock part of the wall down. The tower dosen't really have anything inside, it dosn't stand out. But it does have great size, and goes well when combined with other lion kinght base sets. Sometimes the falling wall get annoying though, i wouldn't care if it wasn't a feature in the set. 6/10
Well, i would prefer a different kingdoms set, but if you really want it, it would be nice to boost your army. However, DO NOT BUY THIS SET IF YOU DON"T HAVE OR PLAN ON GETTING OTHER KINGDOMS SETS!!!!! I hope you like the pictures, i tryed to get them to show the size, but the picture dosen't show the massive size this set has. would say this set also has some nice detail in it, it is a nice size, and would be put in a catagory of: OKAY.
Thank you for reading, overall 60/100 "
Pros: BIG
castle!

Great game!
" This is another good job done by lego. I have lego star wars 1 and 2, so i decided this would be great. And it is the clone wars, so i bought this game. It was far more challenging than i thought, you really have to think to figure the levels out. This is a great game though, i highly recomend it. However, lego games tend to be a little short. That definately kicks in in this game. It is short, but you can still do lots of things after the game. You can go back as bounty hunters or sith to do things you couldn't before, such as get minikits and unlock secret rooms. There are tons of great characters to unlock, but that does have a con. On some of the characters, you have to unlock them by getting all the minikits. That is annoying, because it isn't that easy to find the minikits. As for the levels, they are hard,fun,and very show like. They aren't very detailed, but they bring out great scenes from the show. But since this is a short game, they could put some more important levels in. As for the price, it could be better,but this is a pretty nice game so go for it. The vehicles are really fun to drive. There is about the same amount from the old game. The home ship is very awesome. There are rooms to unlock by getting gold bricks though. You can customize characters,battle,explore,free villians from jail,do arcade mode,shoot down enemy ships, buy characters, do levels, buy ships,change to different characters and some other fun things. One of them is getting into a ship. You can fly out into space and do space things to get a gold brick. Also you can fly to the sith ship and buy "bad guys" there. Now to the pros and cons:
Pros: fun!
great characters
cons: price
short
This is one of my favorite lego video games. As for which system to get it for, it doesn't matter as much as other lego games. Like lego batman was worse for D.S.,this one is good on all of them. I love it on Wii though,so get for Wii if you want to maximize the playability. But as i said before any system would be great. Clone wars has lots of good lego sets, and also a good video game! I highly recommend this, but if you don't like short games, stay far away from it. Thanks for reading my reveiw!!!!!!!!!!!!Overall 85/100 "

Wow!
" I am a big fan of castle and kingdoms sets. I have also always loved blacksmith sets. They are great add ons, but that brings out one of the cons. This set isn't the best by itself, however i have lots of old castle sets so this is a great play value. You have to get an add on. Now for the sections:
Weapons: These are great weapons. They are new, because i don't recall old rubberish weapons. There is a lot of them, and are a main part in the whole blacksmith point obviously. There is a rack to store them on. 8/10
Minifigs: I love blacksmith minifigures. This one has a nice "old time" hat, and some good trousers. He looks great and is a nice part in any kingdoms collection. The dragon knight is also pretty good. He has a nice helmet with a feather on top of it. He has a sword and a shield to attack the blacksmith. 8/10
The shop: The shop has a furnace on one side and the shop on the other side. The furnace has the knights feather piece for the fire, only it's in red. You can fit one weapon in at a time, but there isn't a designated spot for them. There is a spot for the blacksmith to stand behind the anvil. When you spin the wheel the hammer moves up and down and hits the weapon you put in the place.There is a spot for the weapon on the holder peice. The mill part is really cool and is made up of cool parts. The water piece is very small though, also being coverd by the part that connects it. The roof is very unique and interesting. Another way to put it is awesome. 9/10
Other parts: Some of the pieces in this set are unique. This set comes with a chicken and a bucket, two great pieces. There is a piece of gold and a spare fire piece as well. 7/10
Now to the pros and the cons:
Pros:minifigures
weapons are great
cool pieces
blacksmith sets are just great!
cons:
small water piece
not the best stand alone
This is another great castle themed set! The price seems fair enough. This is the perfect gift for castle collectors. If you like kingdoms and castle sets, this is a MUST HAVE. It looks old time, which is nice. It also comes with a chest plate. Thank you for reading my review! Sorry if you don't have the time to read this much, but this set has a lot of good things to write about. Overall I would give it a: 80/100 "

Finally i can wreck my set!
" This is great for getting lots of the hard pieces off. It can't wreck all different typs though, so you will need to wreck some hard pieces still. It is sturdy, and i have seen them in different colors in the past. I always like to have oone handy while wrecking, or playing. This is a great lego tool to have. The value for money is fair, and it allows you to have great play expereince! It is a must have for seroius lego fans or just people that build,wreck,build,wreck alot every day! Thanks for reading my review! Note to lego: please make a wookie or ewok base. Also make the new 2012 sets come out earler, i can't wait to get the new and old sets here!

WOW!
" This is the greatist city set ever! the truck is amazing! This is also a great price for the united states $13 price tag. The repair truck has lots of tools to use to fix the lampost or anything city you have. The minifigure is also pretty nice. By the lampost is a green trash can, for all your lego trash. The little road blocks are so awesome! They are my favorite part of this set. While you fix the roal you can put them up so no cars come in your biulding site. If you use this in battles, it makes a great weopon or minifigure transport vehicle. The clors are good and it fits in with all the old construction city sets perfectly. The play experience is okay but could come with another minifigure. Thank you for taking the time to read this review, i hope it helped you. Overall 80/100
