LEGO Online Shopping!

Hi all, it’s the weekend again! It’s been a really busy week for me, with all my revision for upcoming tests and such, so you may not see as many blog posts here for the next week or so, until the National Day Holiday. This time, I’m gonna be writing about something most of us LEGO fans do: Online LEGO Shopping!

As many of you know by now, I’m still a teen, and a student at that. As such, I have a limited spending budget for LEGO which is dependent on how much I scrimp and save every week. Hence, I’m always going around looking for the best deals, be it online or at physical shops. And most of the time, I find the best deals online.

So without further ado, below is a list of sites I use when I buy my LEGO Online!

LEGO At SDCC 2014

Hi All! Sorry for the delay in entries again. Today, I will be talking about all the exciting things LEGO released at the recent San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) 2014!

Personally, I have never been to any BrickFair or SDCC before (Partially because it’s half the world away), but I have always followed news of it, and all the awesome reveals of games and stuff. 

So, a brief introduction of the SDCC. The SDCC is a convention held annually, in San Diego, California which is on the West Coast of the USA. The SDCC is popular for fans of video games and comics, and increasingly in the last decade, LEGO Fans. LEGO always has a booth at this highly popular convention, and every year, they have awesome previews and giveaways of exclusive sets.

75001 Republic Troopers VS Sith Troopers Review

Hi all, I’m back this week with my second ever LEGO Star Wars set review! Its been a really long week, and its been an equally long weekend! So Im back with more posts for you.

As with last week’s edition, I’m gonna be reviewing this set in 3 sections, based on its Minifigures, Playability and Investment Potential. So without further ado, here’s this week’s set! 75001 Republic Troopers VS. Sith Troopers!

This set was released last year in January 2013, it retails here in Singapore for SGD $27.90, and in the USA for USD$12.99, again this is another example of the huge price difference between LEGO in Singapore and in the USA, UK and EU.

This set contains only 63 pieces making it the smallest set excluding the LEGO Star Wars Planets Series, and contains 4 awesome Exclusive Minifigures, as well as a really cool Speeder!

As with all my small sets and Battle Packs, I wanted to get my hands on one as quickly and cheaply as possible, so as usual, I headed down to Toy Station at Serene Centre to buy it. You can check out what other cool LEGO Products they have here: http://www.toybrickstation.com/

75000 Clone Troopers VS. Droidekas Review!

Hi All! I’m back with my first Set Review post! If you have seen my earlier post, you would know that I will be writing a lot of these in the coming weeks/months, so expect to see more of these!

So, to start us off, the set I’m reviewing today is the LEGO Star Wars 75000 Clone Troopers VS Droidekas! I will be evaluating this set in 3 segments, based on the Minifigures, Playability and Investment Potential.

This set retails in Singapore for SGD $27.90 and in the USA for USD $12.99. That means this set literally costs double the price in Singapore than in the USA! The set comes with 2 Minifigures, and 2 more Brick-Built figures, and totals 124 Pieces. I bought this set at a 15% discount at Toy Station here in Singapore a year ago, slightly decreasing the hole in my student wallet. 

UCS Batman Tumbler Revealed!

Hi Guys, I’m back with some very exciting news! This week, USA Today published an article regarding a new LEGO set, the Ultimate Collectors’ Series Batman Tumbler!

This looks to be an extremely cool set, and has a whopping 1,869 Pieces, and retails for $199.99 USD. It comes with 2 minifigures, being Christian Bale’s Batman, and Heath Ledger’s The Joker. This will be the first, and likely the only time these editions of Batman and The Joker will be available through a LEGO Set!

For all of you LEGO Batman or DC fans out there, this set is due to be released in September in the USA, EU and UK, so Singaporean fans are gonna have to wait!

As with all exclusives, LEGO VIP Members will get exclusive early access to this awesome set, starting August 18, a good 2 weeks before anyone else!

Personally, I would definitely get it if I could, but the USD$200 Price tag is gonna burn away my entire shirt, much less a pocket.

So that’s it for this update guys, do leave a comment below whether you will or will not be getting this really cool set!

Thanks to ©brickset.com for the news!
