Ninjago 70500 Kai's Fire Mech~Review

HI everyone! Angie here! I've got a review for you! A Ninjago one! I got this at Walmart for $9.99!


The set, which includes: Kai's Fire Mech, Stone Army Scout, and Kai
in his elemental robes outfit, which is exclusive to this set. 

Let's start with the mech.

~Left Arm~
Moveable fingers and a control panel (a sticker)

~Right Arm~
Has machine guns. Other than that, it is almost the same as the
other arm

Cracks on LEGO minifigs~Complaint

I don't usually do complaints about LEGO, but I recently noticed some cracks on my LEGO minifigures, even if they are newly bought and  I haven't played with them much. Pics below

\

 

The cracks always occur in the same area. The bottom right of the torso,
and the right arm. I bought Kai (Ninjago) about two weeks ago, and this already occurred!

Here are more pictures of other minifigs,

These cracks bother me when I am playing with the minifigs. Most of my figures have them. I am not sure what is the problem, but I try to brush it off. Just a small, stud-sized complaint to LEGO.

X-Wing Microfighter~A Review

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't been posting as often as before. As I said in a previous post, we started school in July, so I was extra busy, but now, time for a LEGO set review! Introducing, the  Star Wars X-Wing Microfighter! I got this at Target for 10 dollars. It is really neat, Time for the pics!

Here is the set

The ship

The wings can fold in, or pop out!

Another ship view

If you push these missiles, they shoot!

They can go farther than that...

Here is the mini-cockpit! The pilot can fit in it too!

Complaint to LEGO- Sometimes when I pull the pilot out, his legs stay inside
the cockpit

Like this...

Pilot: Ahhh! Give me my legs back!

View inside cockpit

That's it! I hope you enjoyed this! Don't forget to take our survey on the top of the blog!

Basic LEGO Language

So, you might have heard a bunch of acronyms, names, and abbreviations for Lego stuff that Lego fans use. What do they mean? Here are the translations of the basic Lego terms.

Studs-Those little bumps on the top of most Lego pieces/elements. Also Lego fan's way of measurement (see Measurement)
Elements-What you call any kind of Lego piece
Bricks-The basic Lego brick, usually 3 studs high
Plates-Flat Lego boards of any size. If you stack three of these plates on top of each other, it would be the same size as a brick.
Baseplates- Thinner than plates, usually large.
Tiles-Like plates, but has no studs on top.
Decorated/Printed Tiles-Tiles with any kind of pattern printed on them
AFOL-Adult Fan of LEGO
KFOL-Kid Fan of LEGO
TFOL- Teen Fan of LEGO

Measurement: In stead of using inches to measure Lego bricks, Lego fans use studs! For example,

This brick has 2 studs one way, and studs the other way, so we call it a 2x2, but you have to be more specific. Is it a plate? Is it a tile? Is it a brick? Yes! A brick so the full name would be "2x2  Brick" and if you would like to be more specific, you can add the color.

 

 

This is the basic Language of Lego! (this was a collab post, meaning both Angie and Gabe worked on it!)

Hi everyone! How was your July? Well, now it's time for the second LEGO Ledger. July Edition!
Not much to post about though, but I'll find something
