LEGO Legends of Chima had a good run with both the TV show and the sets since 2013, and the story will be wrapped up this summer with the last wave of sets. Today we will look at some of the larger LEGO Legends of Chima sets released just a few weeks ago as they are quite interesting. Even if you are not into the story, it is worth picking up a Legends of Chima set as they almost all come with transforming features and unique functions that are really fun to play with. 🙂
➡ #70223 LEGO CHIMA ICEBITE’S CLAW DRILLER: Confront the monstrous Claw Driller and regain the CHI! The Ice Bears are attacking Bulkar in Icenhowler’s gigantic Claw Driller to try and steal the CHI! Fight ice with fire on Bulkar’s Burner Bike, steering clear of the mighty mech’s spinning drill, dual flick missiles and powerful swinging arms. Outwit the Ice Bears from the air with flying Razar and his Fire Harness. And watch out – Icepaw could launch into battle at any time on the Claw Driller’s detachable Blaster Bike! Includes 4 minifigures with assorted weapons and accessories: Icebite, Icepaw, Razar and Bulkar. 629 Pieces. Price: $49.99 – BUY HERE
This set includes one very interesting mech. It features opening jaws, posable arms with spinning drill on the right arm and dual flick missiles on the left arm, dynamic rotating torso, cockpit, shoulder attachment point for Icebite’s Supa Snowka, translucent blue ice claws, plus hidden detachable Blaster Bike with translucent blue ice elements. I always liked LEGO mechs and this is an excellent one with good balance and a chunky design. And Bulkar’s Burner Bike – such a fun name! There are lots of special elements in this set, including the minifig accessories. There is really nothing not to like. See full video-review below:
➡ #70224 LEGO CHIMA TIGER’S MOBILE COMMAND: Battle Saber-tooth invaders with Tiger’s Mobile Command! Sir Fangar’s Saber-tooth army seems unstoppable as it freezes the kingdom of Chima and steals all the CHI. Team up with the elite Tiger warriors to launch a roaring counter-attack with their mighty Mobile Command vehicle. Detach the rear of the vehicle and convert it into a hi-tech Tiger communication base, complete with radar dish and computer panels, to plan your attack on. Engage fire CHI power mode to unveil the flame wings and fire the hidden disc shooters. Then unleash the Tiger Pursuit Bikes and track down Sir Fangar’s ice hunters! Includes 6 minifigures with assorted weapons and accessories: Tazar, Trakkar, Eris, Breezor, Sir Fangar and Sibress. 712 pieces. Price: $79.99 – BUY HERE
If you can get only one recent Legends of Chima set, buy this one. It is gorgeous, with loads of features, lots of play-value with hidden disk-shooters and two detachable bikes, a nice color-scheme, lots of minifigs and great pieces. I should also mention that the design on the tiger’s head and the fiery pattern on the shooting disks are printed. What more could we ask for? Just an all-around gorgeous set!

➡ #70228 LEGO CHIMA VULTRIX’S SKY SCAVENGER: Protect the CHI from Sky Scavenger attacks! The Vultures are on patrol over frozen Chima in their massive Sky Scavenger when they encounter Frax transporting CHI. Steer Frax’s Phoenix Flame Flyer clear of blasts from their ice orb shooters and retaliate with his flame gun. Beware of Vardy taking aim from the 360-degree rotating rear turret. The Sky Scavenger features movable wings for aerial battle poses and can be split into three, with a detachable Beak Pod, Turret Feather Fighter and Wing Outpost. That means triple trouble for Frax, soyou’ll need all your Chima warrior skills to help this brave Phoenix warrior to safeguard the CHI! Includes 3 minifigures with assorted weapons: Vultrix, Vardy and Frax. 480 pieces. Price: $39.99 – BUY HERE
At least in my opinion some of the best vehicles in the LEGO Legends of Chima sets are the ones shaped liked a bird. LEGO released some new feather and wing pieces in these sets that are really beautiful and are very unique amongst the otherwise mostly blocky range of pieces. This bird is a particularly interesting one as it has more of a sci-fi or steampunk-ish vibe. And I really like the color-scheme. Of course this vehicle can also transform and break up into smaller units, which I think is a real winning arrangement in recent LEGO sets that tremendously increases the play-value. The fiery Phoenix tribe is represented by two minifigures and a very small vehicle, but this is only a $40 set and the main feature here is really the big flyer. A really nice model indeed.

Besides the above mentioned sets, there are many more that were released this January including some great battle-packs to build up your minifig armies. They are definitely worth checking out, especially since we are getting close to the end of this theme. You can find them all, along with previously released LEGO Legends of Chima sets at the Online LEGO Shop.
