2015 new LEGO sets listed on Amazon

by Thita (admin) on June 12, 2015

In case you prefer to shop for LEGO on Amazon several of the most recently released LEGO sets are now available there as well. A lot of people like to use Amazon as you can shop from the convenience of your own home, the threshold for free shipping is low, and you can combine your purchases. So for example you can buy ink for your printer, an interesting new book, and a LEGO set at the same time. 🙂

➡ 2015 LEGO STAR WARS SETS ON AMAZON: The newly released #75091 LEGO Star Wars Flash Speeder, #75092 LEGO Star Wars Naboo Starfighter, #75093 LEGO Star Wars Death Star Final Battle, #75094 LEGO Star Wars Imperial Shuttle Tydirium, and #75106 LEGO Star Wars Imperial Assault Carrier are all available now. Also, some of the LEGO Star Wars sets released earlier this year are at a 20% discount, like the #75080 LEGO Star Wars AAT, #75081 LEGO Star Wars T-16 Skyhopper, and the #75083 LEGO Star Wars AT-DP. You can find them here: LEGO STAR WARS SETS ON AMAZON

➡ LEGO JURASSIC WORLD SETS ON AMAZON: All six of the LEGO Jurassic World sets are now listed on Amazon, although I would suggest you pay attention to the prices. Four of the sets are listed for the regular price or better, but two of them – the #75919 LEGO Jurassic World Indominus Rex Breakout and the #75920 LEGO Jurassic World Raptor Escape – are listed for higher than normal price. You can find them here: LEGO JURASSIC WORLD SETS ON AMAZON

➡ 2015 LEGO ELVES SETS ON AMAZON: Other recent LEGO sets worth checking out on Amazon are LEGO Elves, as they come with really sweet new elements and a nice color selection. The #41073 LEGO Elves Naida’s Epic Adventure Ship and #41075 LEGO Elves Treetop Hideaway are particularly great sets, but you can’t really go wrong with any of them. Also, I rarely make a point about this, but the box-art on all of the LEGO Elves sets is beautiful! You can find them here: LEGO ELVES SETS ON AMAZON

There are many other 2015 LEGO sets listed on Amazon, but they are listed by third-party sellers and the prices are not so good. So it is always a good idea to double check the listing, make sure the price is the same or better than the price by LEGO, the item is directly shipped by Amazon and eligible for free shipping. Other than this Amazon is a great resource for your LEGO and other shopping needs. If you find other great deals feel free to share them in the comment section below! 😉

LEGO Creator Blue Power Jet review

by Thita (admin) on June 11, 2015

in Other LEGO Sets & Themes

A much talked about LEGO set that was released recently is the #31039 LEGO Creator Blue Power Jet. This is a 3-in-1 set, with the power jet being the main model that can rebuilt into a helicopter or a hovercraft. While the second and third models are respectable in themselves, the one that has been getting LEGO fans so excited is the power jet itself. It is a beautifully shaped aircraft, and it can even sit minifigures – which is quite unusual, as LEGO Creator sets tend to focus on building and modeling, rather than minifig-scale play-features. So let’s take a closer look at all three models. 🙂

➡ LEGO CREATOR BLUE POWER JET: While LEGO tried to stay away from real-life military models, this aircraft looks suspiciously close to a Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II fighter-jet. LEGO gave it a nice and friendly dark-blue, white and red color-scheme and no guns, but it does have a digital gun-sight in the cockpit, so… As you will see in the video-review below by JANGBRiCKS the shaping of the entire aircraft is excellent. It also has some really nice features like movable wings and flaps. A surprising feature is access to the engine-bay area, with some nice detailing for the engine. And as I have mentioned, the fact that this jet can fit minifigures gives it a whole other level of awesomeness. The power jet measures over 5” (13cm) high, 14” (38cm) long and 12” (32cm) wide.

➡ LEGO CREATOR HELICOPTER: As you see in the video-review above, the helicopter is also a very good looking model. It is hard to deny that this also has a military look, but no guns, so it is up to you to decide how you want to use it. The shaping is well done here as well, the wheels are retractable, and the cockpit can accommodate one minifigure – although not as comfortably as in the jet. The helicopter measures (excluding rotors) over 5” (15cm) high, 15” (39cm) long and 6” (16cm) wide.

➡ LEGO CREATOR HOVERCRAFT: This model is meant to be a hovercraft, but the shaping seems to be somewhere in between a hovercraft and a speed-boat. And it has a dual cockpit. It seems to be the most unrealistic of the three models with the least features, and the least compatibility with minifigures. It is not my thing, but I have read that some people really like it, so it’s all about personal taste. The hovercraft measures over 3” (9cm) high, 11” (28cm) long and 3” (10cm) wide.

While most people will likely buy the #31039 LEGO Creator Blue Power Jet set for the main model, the other two are also worth building. The beauty of the LEGO Creator sets is that you can experiment with alternate models, thus giving you a lot more play-value and learning experiences – all for a more reasonable price than licensed sets. If you would like to check it out in more detail it is available – along with a couple of other new LEGO Creator sets – at the LEGO Creator section of the Online LEGO Shop.

So what do you think? How you do like the LEGO Creator Blue Power Jet? Is this a set you are planning to buy? Or did you get it already? And what do you think of the alternate models? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below! 😉
