Kit review: Lego City Airport starter kit

Well today I thought I would review this fast build kit the hubby picked up for me. He tends to get me kits with a lot of mini figs, which is not at all an issue. I do love making up stories for the little guys for sure. But I do enjoy building this kits, big or small.

Now like most starter kits you dont get a lot of parts. This one has only 81 pieces but you do get some great little builds. As you can see from the photos below you have a nice helicopter or as I used to call them as a kid, a dragonfly copter. One minifig fits nicely in the cockpit of the post office air mail carrier.

You get four printed tiles, three are letters and one is the cockpit dials, along with three stickers. The other builds in this are a mailbox on stand, two two wheeled dollies and what I believe is supposed to be a fuel drum for the helicopter.

So a lot of band for the buck, this is a low cost kit after all. A quick build, took me about 15 minutes and a lot of play ability with a rotor that actually turns on the helicopter.

Lisa Lego Moc: So there are these thugs?

Just another little moc. These little builds are fun to do and inspired by the minifigs that are in my collection. I saw these three guys and immediately a story appeared in my head.

So these three thugs meet under a street lamp to put together a plan to take over. Just what they aren’t saying but you know it is something bad. After all a zombie pirate, an orc and a chima guy with a skull on his head, what could they be doing? Talking girl scout cookies?

Lisa Lego Moc day three..or here i show how bad I am at this

Okay the last two mocs were just fun little scenes. My Elf glad and the Orc gathering were simple right? So I decided we need a wizard and his two friends in his home/tower. Well as the hubby was busy working on putting together roads for our city build he told me to try making things myself and handed me a box of bricks.

Now many of the pieces here are from the OLD Castle line and some of them are actually warped! I started out with a square and well…as you can see it went wild on me. Hopefully in the next few days I can get a real wizard tower built to replace this god awful thing!

Lego Moc or the beginning of a story

Yup I dove in and made my first Lego moc or original build out of the stuff lying around in the Lego room. Yes we have a room we call the Lego room. It is really the spare bedroom but it is filled with Legos now.

When the hubby had picked up some CMFs (collectible mini figs) for me one of them was this elven princess. Well as you all know elves are some of my favorite characters and of course a story popped into my head.  Now I wont be adding the story parts to the images till I have at least a half dozen or so mocs built but for today!

As you can see there is a LOT of plant life in her little grove. I have tentatively called this Princess Twilight’s grove. BTW the beautiful fountain on the left front was built by the hubby…I sorta stole it. When I go to put together the tale (expect a silly video on Youtube) there will be much better backgrounds for sure.

Kit review: Romantic Valentine Picnic

Lego does three to four seasonal kits each year. This year we were lucky enough to get the Valentine’s Day one. A simple kit for sure with two mini figs, parts to make a tree and of course all the little things you need for a romantic picnic. There is food parts, flower parts, sweet little bottle with glasses and even a totally cute little teddy bear.

Now the photo i have shows both another kit and the mod that my amazing hubby made to the kit. The little boy in the sand box is not really a part of the kit but as you can see you can modify up this kit pretty easy. In fact he built up the tree so he could add in a tire swing!

Kit review: Lego Ninjago Rock Roader

This is one of my hubby’s kit but I can honestly say it is a good one. Filled with technic pieces, rubber bands and of course those wonderful translucent paces. It was a good solid build for my more experienced hubby and I can say he was tickled with the suspension on this one.

Now of course this was not just a vehicle. There was a little side build where the villains were hiding from our hero, and of course a number of mini figs. All and this is a fun to play with set and of course a great set for most AFOLS as it is filled with all the parts they drool over. Enjoyable all around in fact.
