DLP 9019 Ninjago Sky Pirates

DLP Ninjago release of the Sky Pirates pack. Initially I only bought the bad guys, after awhile, I got the ninja's as well, as they are in their Skybound Robes (another variant). The Sky Pirates are the main antagonists of 2016's winter wave. The sky pirates group contains a wide variety of warriors, ranging from all sorts of sizes and looks, some human and some not. Their intentions are to seek vengeance against the ninja and the reconstruction of the Djinjago.
Doubloon - My kids says he is sitting on the Games of Throne chair
White Titanium Ninja
Green and Blue Ninja (come with glider as well) The hood is not the exact version.
Flintlocke (The Mr Potato mustache do not secure well)
This guy really carries a lot of weight (that big gun thing) around his neck
Clancee - What weapon is that Sweep them to death?
The black Ninja with the Flag is classy
Finally, the Red Ninja

Captain America - The Civil War (movie)

Watch this movie today, yep, much more fun than BVS. Definitely will go down well with the kids. The year of 2016 will be the year of Super Heroes vs. Super Heroes, the Super Villains have to stand aside first for the time being, well, apart from Doomsday.
One fun guy is always missing
Anyway, X-Men Apocalypse will be coming this May - "Everything they built, will fall, and from the ashes of their world, we will build a better one". So, will this be a better one?

Somehow my kids are more looking forward to the Angry Birds movie.

SY610 NICK knights

This ones for the kids. Saw this on TV as well as from department store selling ori-Lego. SY came out with this new Lego inspired cartoon series. The actual name is NEXO Knights (NK), but as usual, bootlegs will renamed it. Will there be another multiple-variation for these guys similar to Ninjago? Lets get to know them (and this SY set) better.
Aaron the chill out thrill seeker on his Aero Striket V2 (?). He's supposed to carry a Blazer Bow
Clay -- Most heroically heroic hero… Ever! The Claymore sword is Chima like.
Lance - Shiniest knight around, his Lance weapon look like a laser beam
Macy - The princess with a punch.The mace is just not really correct trigonometric-ally
Robin - Construction wiz Knight student
Royal Soldier - Sure has an Orange face
Beast Master - Different hat - Ball should have Globlin faces. But like that catapult
Flame thrower Lava Soldier - Bow is not matching the actual
So, for those who are a great fan of Nexo Knights, one will know that this SY sets have lot of difference in almost many ways with the original minifigs.  Getting to know this set better does not really make this set better. Hope SY will improve in their next take. Anyway, the mini builds (believe is not related in any way to the NK)  is quite interesting.

SY 600 Deadpool

Deadpool movie has come and gone, only now SY come out with the Deadpool series. Anyway, it contains a lot of Deadpool variants, and not really base on the characters inside the movie, apart from Red Deadpool. I saw another brand M came out a 6 box Deadpool variant (with side prints). There's one funny Wolverine Deadpool minifig, you will have to remove the mask to see Deadpool face inside. The yellow variant is not the same as the previous release from SY. I like lady Deadpool. All of them come with a mini Glider (can use as spare parts)
Came with dual faces (WHY??!!!).  SY seems to not know that Deadpool is actually wearing a mask. Seriously considering to remove them.
Who dares to mess with a pool of Deadpool?
The ugly back face - WTX!
Who is this muscle man together with Wolvie Deadpool  Deaspool unmasked? (fail)
Yep, they come with dual face too, Muscle man have good side arm print. Wolvie have a mask to cover his face
Love is in the air

SY607 SWAT Falcon Commandos

SY is back with their SWAT minifigs again. Another outstanding set. One reader told me this SY SWAT set came with new weapons.  I am not very good with types of weapons, but they do look different. PG-13, or R - One of the minifig contained a decapitated head because this set is base on terrorISt attack.
This doctor has a heavily armed and geared cloth hanger
Equipped with a laptop and a satellite dish, he can shoot between the eyes either with a bow or gun
Have similar gear to the medic, but a bigger gun
Oh Yeah - I feel like the Punisher. He remotely controls that hovering thing (comes with helmet and mask too)
Believe he's the Commander (come with a red beret) -  His shield do take some beating. He has knee pads and a K-9
The one with a Droid (notice the side star print on the left arm?)
The TerrorISt

LELE 78065B - Star Wart AAT Microfighters

This is from the first Series Microfighters set that I did not get from either Bootleg nor ori-Lego. LELE, not reputable for good quality bricks, but, okay-lah, fitting not that bad. SY's earlier release of Star Destroyer µF is not really that good either in terms of clutching power. Love this one, it is just so Cute.

MAMA!

SY286 Friends - Musical

Remember when I mentioned if SY will come out with some Borfriends for the girls of friends?... well, this set do include some guys doll. Another tthing is the accessories (mini build of items) bricks are actually all scattered in the 8 boxes, hence if one wanted to complete the builds of all the accessories, one need to buy all 8 boxes (I did not)
Only those that the doll holds in their hand is "owned" by the gig, others will need various boxes parts to assemble

SY606 World War II

Been awhile SY come out with uniform personnel sets. (the SWATs sets are good). This new WW2 set is even better. Bring back the memories of my younger days looking at those retailers displaying their dioramas of war zones with Airfix or MatchBox plastic assemble and paint army sets. Somehow SY do let us make a simple Brick type diorama. A great set for those who like to collect weapons and war zone accessories - total over 170 pcs for this 8 boxes set. (no dual face nor side arm print)
One of them look like the "Fuhrer"
Diorama Brick style (only the sign at the back is not included in this German army set
We got a doctor
The Brits also come with similar brick walls, but the 7x sand bags and bush is replaced with 3x rocls and a nice tree
Prental guidance advice - Mind you, the boxes are stained with blood.

Roar of the Simba

Roar - This game is fun just for the first few play, when the kids do not know that the Lion will spring up from its sleep and oar if we disturb the bowl of bones too much. One need to pick the exact bone color drawn from the cards. My kids says this toy is giving him a heart attack (haha). After awhile, it is not so fun anymore....
...Still, after a "long while", the excitement will be slightly revived.

JLB Doraemon

Once awhile, there will always be some Justified Lame Buy (JLB) Even though JLB is not good in details, but their makes of characters difference from other miniifigues makers make them a justifiable buy. Doraemon is a famous anime (cartoon) from Japan, and being cartoon, details are not really present, but JLB makes the mold for the different character's heads, and they really look good, not lame at all.
Nobita and cat robot Doraemon
Ciant, Suneo, Dorami
I did buy the girl Shizuka (Sue), but among the 6 minifigs design, she is the ugliest and does not really look like the sweet Shizuka from the anime. Anyway, JLB gave two left legs for her, so, can't finish assemble her.
My pencil topper Doraemons looks cuter -

Sembo micro block - Batman V Superman

Do not know why Sembo only come out with Batman and Superman ( 3 designs each) at this time, is it because of the BvS movie? Anyway, they are cute and nice to build. (Here's two of them)
The Dark Knight with his Bat Cycle - Batman eyes are transparent

The Light -  Flying into space away from Earth

Sembo micro block Star Wars

Sembo micro block Big Head Star Wars build -Luke and Chewy
My kids says it's Rey, they says Luke is an Old Man. Well, generation gap.

Ninja various vehicles builds

Got these few medium box Ninja sets from SY. Some of the design builds look like cars or bike, but some look like a bug with spider fangs, and another according to my son, looks like a chicken ( or a mantis to me). These can be combined with another design builds from another box to make a bigger – Weirder looking design. Are these design from Lego or from SY? As usual, SY fitting quality is mediocre, but surprisingly, this sets stud gun can work, shoots well too,,, but SY did not provide extra bullets when their guns are able to function..
^6 legged Spider attack vehicle (this comes with 2 minifigs)
Mantis machine
Nice looking armor plated bike (front blue blasters are VERY loose)

Sembo micro block - BB 8

Sembo micro block of BB 8 is quite an ingenious build with 555 pcs (too bad not 888 as in BB8) to spend your time on. What's so ingenious in this build? As we all know, any design with Lego typed bricks will mainly be "Stud up" and "Tube down". As BB 8 has a ball shaped body, the top portion and the bottom portion of the finished body design is actually a mirror image, which mean stud up and also stud down finishing. Anyway, the design also comes with a BB 8 docking platform, so, final design is still tube down in display. How they are join in the middle is really ingenious, and BB 8 is not hollow in the middle.
