Lego Update April

Recently i had been very busy with work & had less time bloggging on lego. However i'm still constantly keeping update on all lego stuff, at the same time adding a few lego sets to my own collection. 1-2 weeks ago i had purchased 3 lego sets at discounted prices.

A week ago, i came across the lego book THE CULT OF LEGO at the library, pretty lucky, i don't have to spend about $100 getting this book from retail.

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.

batman has this white bandage around his head..

batman is just blind... you can't see his eyes

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).
