853340 Lego Wedding Bride Groom Minifigures with Table Decoration Review

Update: Received a call today 30th Sept, the lego wedding set is now temporary removed from the Singapore market by lego. Reason: there are some defects in this set. I had opened this set and i wonder what's the problem.

A review of the Lego Wedding Set, 853340. Total of 24 pieces. It was available in Singapore for a short 2 days in a shop, and was sold out. I presume this set will be widely avaliable in store shortly.

Was checking the price on US ebay, this morning a set was sold for USD31 (exclude postage). The average price was around USD25-28. So there are buyers who are willing to pay around USD30 (excluding shipping fees)!

lego using 3M now. i guess this is the first set to incorporate 3M.

2 additional hair for the bride

the body torso for the groom is similiar to that of the minifigure series 1 magician

Overall this set will probably appeal to female fans. Who knows, these figures might just appear on the wedding cake of an AFOL couple soon, i'm sure there will be pictures of them on the net.

Royal Guard

“Sorry, sir! I’m not allowed to speak!”

The steadfast Royal Guard is utterly devoted to his job as a protector of the palace and the royal family. In rain or shine, in hot summer sun or freezing winter night, he can always be found standing at his post at perfect attention, staring straight ahead with his tall, furry hat on his head and his ceremonial rifle in place at his shoulder.

No matter how much you try to distract the Royal Guard, he’ll never even blink an eye. You can tell him jokes, dress up in silly costumes and even try to tickle him, but he won’t move at all. He and his fellow guards are silent, stalwart sentinels, never uttering a word aloud – and that’s exactly what he’ll tell you if you ask him!

Lego Gangster

Bought another gangster, the gladiator's head looks better on the figure. The gangster has a new weapon, the tommy gun.

Came across these lego moc, the seller who build & design them, sells his moc on ebay. They sure looks nice and fun to add to the lego city. We can have some new ideas of building from his creation. Very nicely designed prints.

Lego Skeleton Attack

one of the little pleasure in collecting lego is that we are able to display & have a little fun with them anytime (different theme). Checking my skeleton headcount after adding another set 7009 & 7090 two weeks ago.

My Panasonic DMC FX-180 with Lecia Lens had served me well, time to use a new equipment.

picture taken with a D7000

A month ago, i got a new DSLR, Nikon 7000. As a beginner, I'm learning how to use this equipment to take some nice lego pictures. But i think i will still continue posting pictures with my existing compact digital camera, i'm so use to it.

You guys can probably tell the quality of the pictures, d7000 is a superb equipment, and i'm learning how to use the functions :)

more lego pictures coming up! post any comments below.

Lego Minifigures Collectible Series 6 update

I had viewed the confidential pictures of the mf series 6. In the earlier post, there are 10 pictures. Here are the remaining 6 figures in blue (not posting any pictures as it is not right to do so at the moment). The series will be released in 2012.

Minfigures Series 6

* Alien with ray gun.
* Butcher with a steak and cleaver.
* Genie with a magic lamp.
* Highlander with a shield and sword.
* Leprechaun with a pot of gold.
* Mechanic with a wrench and toolbox.
* Minotaur with an axe.
* Skater Girl with a skateboard.
* Space Woman with a ray gun.
* Statue of Liberty with a torch and book.
* Roman with rectangluar Shield (this will be the hotest figure)
* Bandit black hat with a hankerchief covering his face
* Female Surgeon with needle and x-ray like the graduate scroll

Lego Minifigures Series 5, Collect 'em ALL! (Breakdown Info)

thanks to a friend, i got the 16 minifigures!

this is one of the best series, many are instant favourite

will post more series 5 minifigures pictures in the next post

The breakdown for a box of 60 figures

• Ancient Egyptian Woman 3
  
• Boxer 5
  
• Cavewoman 4
  
• Fitness Dancer 4
  
• Detective 4
  
• Dinosaur Suit Man 5
  
• Dwarf 3
  
• Eskimo 3
  
• Gangster 3
  
• Grenadier Guard 5
  
• Lumberjack 3
  
• Male Snowboarder 3
• Murmillo 3
  
• Small Clown 4
  
• University Graduate 3
  
• Zookeeper 5
  

This time round, the minifigures breakdown is quite good in my opinion. There are at less 3 sets per box. Unlike the earlier series where we only got 2 elf and 2 spartan in a box of 60 minifigures. There are 5 grenadier guard & dinosaur suit man (which are popular figures) from the box (most likely other boxes will be having the same breakdown). Lego should continue give a good breakdown like series 5. We are aware of the earlier frustration of being unable to get the spartan and elf from retail (but i think i managed to do so when there was a new box)

Hope you guys got the minifigures you want. Post your comments below.
