LEGO 9516 STAR WARS Jabba’s Palace

At Jabba’s Palace on Tatooine, Princess Leia is disguised as Boushh as she tries to rescue Chewbacca and carbonite-frozen Han Solo. Can she get past the roof-mounted missiles, defense-guns and surveillance equipment to reach them? Or will Jabba and his motley band of followers capture the princess and entrap her beneath Jabba’s sliding throne? Includes 9 minifigures: Jabba, Salacious Crumb, Bib Fortuna, Gamorrean Guard, Oola, Han Solo, Princess Leia in Bo ushh outfit, Chewbacca and B’omarr Monk.



Superb Minifigures. I'm sure the new Gamorrean Guard will be the most popular Star Wars figures, great details!

LEGO 9496 STAR WARS Skiff

Lego Harry Potter 4865 Foribbean Forest Review

Here's a review on the Harry Potter 4865, Foribbean Forest, i bought this set a few months ago, fixed it last week. The reason i added this set is i'm using the minifigures for my castle/kingdoms. Purchased this set at a discount price of SGD 20.90. Pretty good price to pay for 4 nice minifigures.

Singapore Retail Price SGD 29.90
total 64 pieces

This set is released in 1 Jun 2011, it recreates the scene of Harry Postter and the Deathly Hallows, where Harry Potter enters the Forbidden Forest to meet his fate at the hands of Lord Voldemort. This set includes a small tree, four minifigures: Harry Potter, Rubeus Hagrid, Lord Voldemort and Narcissa Malfoy.

Even though i'm not a harry potter fan, this is a nice little set to have because of the minifigures.

Lego Super Heroes 6858 Catwoman Catcycle City Chase Review

Here's a review on the set 6858 Catwoman Catcycle City Chase, it took me less than 10 mins to finish fixing this little set. Satisfaction level: 90%. I'm happy with the catwoman figure & the catcycle, but for batman, i will just say it is average to me, i don't know but i prefer the catwoman figure more than the batman.

Singapore Retail Price: S$29.90 (@20% discount S$24)
US Retail Price: USD 12.99
(approx S$17, price difference as compared with local retail 56%)

Total pieces: 89, 2 minifigures

the pieces

i notice that lego is quite generous with the "brown boxes", compare with the earlier indy set 7620 Indiana Jones Motorcycle Chase, there is just 2 boxes.

Overall this is a nice set, with 2 collectible minifigures, new Lego Newspaper, cute traffic light and it can be used for city modular buildings too (just that the lamp post is a bit too short).

Legoland Malaysia Latest Update Feb 2012

On Tuesday Straits Times, 31 Jan, there is a latest report on the Malaysia Legoland. Singapore visitors key for Legoland. I would just post a few statements here for your information. The news article talk about the new rides, visitors expectation, entrance cost and a few others.

"All in all 5 million lego bricks had been used for the Legoland."

"The day passes which will be on sale in 2 months, are RM140 for adult and RM110, RM30 discount for Malaysian showing their identity card. The Malaysia's opposition has criticised the government for pouring millions into a theme park which may never earn back its RM720 million investment."

There isn't any typo mistake....RM 720 MILLION!! for the manpower & cost of 5 million bricks?

The park will be opened in September or October 2012. LegoAsia will be the first to visit the park and we will have a special field report with tons of pictures.
