Day 2: With more bricks comes Mordor.

If you like Lord of the Rings and like LEGO, you’ll LOVE this. The great, mighty…

MORDOR!!!

Yup. I couldn’t believe it was at first either. It’s quite amazing. He got it down to every exact detail.

Look at all the detail put into it!

Over 50,000 blocks are in this work of art. That’ll keep the hobbit out!

And if all that wasn’t enough, it’s extremely tall.

I’d say that model is about 6 feet tall. what about you?

Look at it compared to the creator! ——>

Anyway, That wraps up day 2! I might put in my own piece of work tomorrow or the day after. Remember to stay tuned for more LEGO shenanigans!

LEGO Review- Vezon and Kardas

Well, I’m not putting it off any longer. Here is the the review of THE GREAT…

VEZON AND KARDAS!!!

Yup, the final review in this box set. Well, if you dont know, here’s how I do my reviews. I write the pros, then cons, my thoughts and a final rating.

No review?! Awwwwwwwwwwwwww…

Now, since I already wrote a review on Vezon back two weeks ago, I’m not reviewing him again. I’ll just say his only differences are his spear and he has a shield. There, Enough said. NOW… on to the good part! THE ACTUAL REVIEW!

See the three silver things on his neck? Botar comes up to the third one.

Pros:

• ULTRA TALL <—-
• Great dragon design
• Fully poseable tail
• 6 poseable toes
• Great body design
• Although his arms are quite short, it fits with his character.
• Awesome Wings
• Poseable neck
• Fenrakk Head (one of the best poseable mouths i’ve seen.

Cons:

• Lower legs are a little short for my liking
  

  His Pieces

• Can’t make wings flap (well, not as easily as Ultimate Dumes…)
• Instructions are a wee bit confusing
• His head has trouble balancing when his neck is all the way up
• Nowhere for Vezon to attach to.

My Thoughts:

This guy. Just. This guy… wow. He’s ultra tall (the tallest Bionicle, in fact) he has super posability, he’s one of the most balanced giant bionicles I own and for looks… I mean… just look at him. Look at him.

LOOK AT HIM!!!!!!!

Now, I did mention his lower legs are quite short, but if they were to be made longer, but it made him look less awesome, I would pick smaller legs. One thing that might throw you off, in the story, Kardas lost pretty much every single battle he fought. (Maybe because he’s a mutated mutant spider?) But, forget the story. This guys gonna be a killing MACHINE!!!

“Good Kardas. Nice devastating monster. Are you my favourite engine of destruction? Yes you are.” -Vezon

Rating:

I know I said I didn’t like these, but I like this guy SO much, I think I’ll dare to say… I rate him 5/5 stars. The look, the consept, the pose, the balance, the companion, IT ALL SCREAMS “YES!!” In fact, I recommend the whole limited edition box set of Kardas. I had lots of fun with every set in it, and I’m gonna keep this guy built for a while. Plus, almost every set in there is a good challenge. Anyone who’s looking to buy this set, and are looking for advice, I say BE MY GUEST! You won’t regret it!

Is there something breathing on me?

Well, that’s that! Join me next time when I review… uh… something. I’ve got a few normal LEGO sets that remain unbuilt. So STAY TUNED FOR NEXT TIME!!

ONWARD, KARDAS! THERE’S MORE TO REVIEW!

LEGO Review- Botar

Another week brings another review! This time it’s…

BOTAR!

Who would have thought id do this? Me, of course. Anyway, this is how I review things. I write the pros, then the cons, my thoughts and a final rating. Now, LET’S RUMBLE!!!!!!

“I HATE SPIDERS!”

Pros:

• Awesome design
• Suprisingly ballanced on his 2 feet (for a bionicle of his size)
  

  (Bad) shot of his blades.

• Very tall
• Poseable jaw
• Arms stay up very easily
• Cool hidden blades —->
• Poseable thumbs

What is this?

Cons:

• Instructions are very tedious and confusing at times
• Cannot lift 1 leg a little without it tipping or falling
• Weapon looks really stupid (and, ironiclly, is the smallest of all of them) <—–

My Thoughts:

I really, REALLY like this guy. Even though I had trouble FINDING the instructions online, his awsome design, suprisingly good balance, poseablity and overall playability make up for that. Although I despise the weapon, I usually just take it off, and then I just use the blades. An overall great set, and definetly one of my favourites.

Vezon: Please have mercy on me! I’ll do anything!
Botar: Naaaaaaaaaaa B.

Rating:

I give this bionicle a 4.5 out of 5 stars. Why? I don’t like giving out perfect rankings. (And the instructions.) If you have Axonn and Brutaka and you’re looking for a challenge, I definetly recommened you build this big behemoth, Botar!

“Shrimp”

Oh, and so you don’t have the same problem as I did finding the instructions, here’s a link:

Tune in next time when I review… THE ONE YOU’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR…. THE GREAT…. KARRRRRDAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS!!! Stay tuned!

LEGO Review- Brutaka

Well, another month brings another review. Introducing the (not so) gentle giant…

BRUTAKA!

In case you didn’t see the last review, here’s how I do it. I write the pros, cons, my thoughts and a rating. without further ado, let’s get reviewing!

“I kill puny men”

Pros:

• Awesome looking
• Dual bladed sword—>
• Very poseable
• Freakishly tall (below)
• Cool Mask
• 4 arms (2 small ones on back)

Height comprison

 

Cons:

• Instructions are confusing at times
• Sufferes Axonnitis (hard to bend knee’s)
• Spiky parts beside the breastplate and middle toe are wobbly
• Not designed to unarm his weapon

My Thoughts:

This is one awesome set. The gold/blue mix was perfect, considering he’s mainly a villian. I mean, gold and blue are usually assosiated with good, right? Anyway, another reason I like him is because of how freakishly huge everything on him is. His torso, legs, feet, sword and even his mask. Even though some parts are wobbly and he’s hard to put together at times, none of it really ruins the overall playability of this set.

For a rating, I’ll give him 4.5 stars. His awesome looks, size, poseibility and playability make him truly worthy of this rating. He’s a definite recommendation to anyone looking for a good Bionicle.

Axonn: ARGH! YOU GOT A BETTER RATING! DIIIE!
Brutaka: I deserve it, scrub.

Next weeks review: Vezon and Fenrakk! Stay Tuned!
