Introduction LEGO Architecture 21028 New York City is a set released back in 2016. You get to build 5 famous New York City landmarks. The set is recommended for those aged 12+. Contains 598 pieces. Price for the set is $59.99 USD / $74.99 CAD / £44.99 GBP / $69.99 AUD. It is currently temporarily out of stock due to the holiday season at LEGO Shop at Home (USA | Canada | UK | Australia). However, it may come back in-stock at a later time. Search 21028 at the LEGO Shop site to check on availability. Official LEGO Product Description Celebrate the architectural diversity of New York City with this detailed LEGO® brick model. The LEGO Architecture Skyline Collection offers models suitable for display in the home and office, and has been developed for all with an interest in travel, architectural culture, history and design. Each set is scaled to give an accurate representation of the comparative size of each structure, with true-to-life color depiction. This set features the Flatiron Building, Chrysler Building™, Empire State Building, One World Trade Center and the Statue of Liberty, and is finished with a decorative “New York City” nameplate. LEGO® interpretation of the New York City skyline. Features the Flatiron Building, Chrysler Building™, Empire State Building, One World Trade Center and the Statue of Liberty. The included booklet contains information about the designer, architecture and history of each building, as well as historical facts about New York City and its architectural heritage (English language only. Other languages available for download at LEGO.com/architecture. Ask your parents' or guardians' permission before going online). Includes a 4x32 tiled base with decorative “New York City” nameplate. Recreate the world's most beautiful cities with the LEGO® Architecture Skyline Collection. LEGO® Architecture celebrates the world of architecture through the medium of the LEGO brick, and is developed for all with an interest in design, architecture and history. Measures 10” (26cm) high, 9” (25cm) wide and 1” (4cm) deep Box Here is the front of the box. Unfortunately, the set that I bought had a bit of box damage. The back of the box shows some more details regarding each New York City building that you will get to build in the set. The top of the box shows the actual size of the LEGO microfigure. In this case, the LEGO microfigure is the Statue of Liberty. Contents & The Build Inside the box, there's the instructions booklet and a LEGO Architecture product survey leaflet. You'll be entered into a draw to win a prize if you do the survey. The instructions booklet has pages explaining each building. Here, it talks about the One World Trade Center that was built in 2013. There are 6 bags of LEGO pieces in the set. Here are the pieces sorted out. You get an orange brick separator in this set. It took me about 10 minutes to sort the pieces out. You get cool pieces in this set including the LEGO microfigure which would be used as a Statue of Liberty. You also get a printed piece for New York City. LEGO sometimes gives us a sticker instead so its definitely a plus its a printed piece this time. You first start off building the base of the set. After completing the base, you build the Statute of Liberty. This is probably the simplest build out of the 5 landmarks that you build. The next building is the Empire State Building. Chrylser building is up next. You then build the Flatiron building. This is probably the second simplest landmark to build after the Statue of Liberty. Here is the back of the Flatiron building. Finally, you build the One World Trade Center. You get some spare pieces including an extra Statue of Liberty microfigure. Complete Built Set This is the complete New York City LEGO Architecture set. The tallest building in the set is the One World Trade Center followed by the Empire State building. Both of these buildings took the longest to build out of the 5 landmarks. The landmarks are all detachable which is a nice touch. Here is the view looking at the skyscrapers from the Statue of Liberty side. Finally, here's the view from top. Set Ratings Design: 9/10 Build: 9/10 Minifigures: N/A Playability: 8/10 Parts: 8.5/10 Price: 8/10 Overall rating: 8.5/10 Overall Thoughts This set took me about 1 hour and 20 minutes to build (includes sorting the pieces). Like most of the LEGO Architecture sets, its not really a set that you play with. After you have finished building it, its used for display purposes. The instructions booklet has some nice featured pages for the landmarks which is great. Though, it is a small set despite the price that you are paying. There's 598 pieces but majority of them are quite small. However, its still an awesome set. Overall, the set shows New York City quite well and is instantly recognizable. Great for adults and for displaying!

It is a really nice set with lots of details. The minifigures are pretty cool as well. You can also put some stuff in the storage area. The only issue with this set is that I would have preferred printed pieces rather than stickers. That's the only drawback.

Introduction Today, we'll be looking at the November 2020 LEGO gift with purchase LEGO Star Wars 5006363 Han Solo Carbonite Metal Keychain. It is currently a freebie gift available at LEGO Brand Retail Stores and LEGO Shop at Home (USA | Canada | UK/Europe | Australia) with purchases over $100 USD / $100 CAD / £100 GBP / $199 AUD. Valid from October 30-November 8, 2020. Available for LEGO VIP members only. LEGO VIP is free to join. Free shipping on orders above $35 USD / $35 CAD / £50 GBP / $149 AUD. LEGO Star Wars 5006363 Han Solo Carbonite Metal Keychain contains 1 piece. This item is not available for purchase by itself. The item was released on October 30, 2020. Sponsored LEGO Set Thank you to LEGO for providing LEGO Star Wars 5006363 Han Solo Carbonite Metal Keychain for Toys N Bricks to review. Official LEGO Product Description Capturing the iconic scene from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back where Han Solo is frozen in carbonite by bounty hunter Boba Fett, this exclusive key chain comes with a commemorative box and makes a great gift for Star Wars fans. Box The front of the box is black and shows the LEGO Star Wars logo. The back of the box shows that it is a LEGO VIP item. It also states that its a keychain and not a toy. Not for those aged 0-3. Contents & The Build Opening the box, there is a parchment paper covering the keychain. The keychain is nicely placed in the box with cushion protecting it. Here is the front of the LEGO Han Solo Carbonite Metal Keychain. It's very nicely designed. Here is the back of the LEGO Han Solo Carbonite Metal Keychain. It has the LEGO VIP logo on it. Comparison Below is a picture showing the comparison of the LEGO Han Solo Carbonite Minifigure from the 2015 UCS LEGO Star Wars 75060 Slave I set. An actual size of the LEGO Han Solo minifigure is also included to show the relative size of the keychain. Notice that the LEGO VIP Keychain version is slightly smaller. I'm glad that they made the keychain version smaller as it would be more difficult to carry it around with your keys if its bigger. The back of the comparison Han Solo Carbonite Minifigures. Set Ratings Design: 9/10 Build: N.A Minifigures: N/A Playability: N/A Parts: 9/10 Price: N/A Overall rating: 9/10 Overall Thoughts This is a really nice LEGO Star Wars Collectable item. Its a great free mini gift that you can get at LEGO Brand Retail Stores and LEGO Shop at Home (USA | Canada | UK/Europe | Australia) with LEGO VIP purchases over $100 USD / $100 CAD / £100 GBP / $199 AUD from October 30-November 8, 2020. For a regular LEGO Star Wars Minifigure keychain, it would probably normally retail for $5.99 USD / $6.99 CAD. However, this is LEGO VIP limited edition so the retail price for it would probably be a bit higher if it was sold separately. Overall, its a cool LEGO Star Wars Keychain and probably a must have if you are a LEGO Star Wars Collector.

Sponsored LEGO Set Thank you to LEGO for providing LEGO Hidden Side 30464 El Fuego’s Stunt Cannon for Toys N Bricks to review. Official LEGO Product Description LEGO Hidden Side 30464 El Fuego’s Stunt Cannon comes with a minifigure that reveals an amazing digital world when scanned with a smart device equipped with the LEGO Hidden Side AR app. Packaging The front of the polybag packaging shows the set along with the number of pieces and recommended age. The back of the packaging shows where the components are made in. In this case, they are made in Denmark, Hungary, Mexico, China and the Czech Republic. There is also a coupon where kids can go free with a paid adult ticket to LEGOLAnd. The coupon expires December 31, 2022. Contents & The Build There are not too many pieces in this set as its considered a very tiny set. There are no numbered bags. You also get a mini instructions leaflet. The back of the instructions leaflet advertises other LEGO Hidden Side sets. You start off building the LEGO Hidden Side Skeleton Minifigure first. Complete Built Set The cannon is adjustable where you can have it shoot at an even level or at a higher level. The green piece is to launch the cannon. You put the mini figure in the cannon here. These are the extra pieces left in the set. Set Ratings Design: 7/10 Build: 7/10 Minifigures: 7/10 Playability: 7/10 Parts: 7/10 Price: N/A Overall rating: 7/10 Overall Thoughts Its my first LEGO Hidden Side set and this is a very tiny one. Its a nice free mini gift that you can get at LEGO Brand Retail Stores and LEGO Shop at Home (USA | Canada | UK/Europe | Australia) with purchases over $35 USD / $35 CAD / £35 GBP from October 26-November 1, 2020. For a non-licensed set this size, it would probably normally retail for $3.99 USD / $4.99 CAD. For a 46 pieces set, it took me about 10 minutes to sort the pieces and build the complete set. Overall, it's a nice free promo set. Kids would probably have more fun with this launching the cannon with the minifigure. I downloaded the LEGO Hidden Side App but this set doesn't appear to be on the App so there are no virtual features available.

This set was released on October 15, 2020. The great thing about this set is that its not that you can build 5 different models with the same number of pieces. Instead, you get to build all 5 models all at once. Sponsored LEGO Set Thank you to LEGO for providing LEGO MINDSTORMS 40413 Mini Robots (5 models in 1) for Toys N Bricks to review. Official LEGO Product Description Get five small-scale versions of the new MINDSTORMS robots you can build all at once! Mini Charlie, Mini Tricky, Mini Blast, Mini M.V.P. and Mini Gelo have the features of their larger counterparts, only smaller. Box The front of the box shows the 5 mini models along with the number of pieces and recommended age. The back of the box shows the larger LEGO MINDSTORMS 51515 Robot Inventor set along with the LEGO MINDSTORMS 40413 Mini Robots. Contents & The Build There are 5 bags of pieces inside the box. Note that the bags are not numbered. It is a small set so it's ok that its not numbered. You also get a mini instructions booklet. You build the robots in the following order: Blast, Charlie, Gelo, M.V.P. and Tricky. The first robot that you build is Mini Blast. He has moveable and adjustable arms and legs. The robot also has a flick-fire red missile. There is a spare missile as well. The back of robot Mini Blast. Charlie has some tires that he uses to move around. Back of robot Mini Charlie. Gelo has poseable and adjustable legs. M.V.P. is quite cool as he runs on wheels and has two different features. The first feature is the crane function. You can also change the feature up to be a turret shooter. You can press on the shooter and it fires the cyan pieces out. Tricky can carry a mini red ball. Unfortunately, he cannot be in a position that is mid-way like how the box art shows him. Its either he puts it on the ground or lifts it all the way up. If you want it to presented like the box art, you need to hold onto the arms. Complete Built Set The complete line up of all 5 mini robots in the set. These are the extra pieces left in the set. Set Ratings Design: 8/10 Build: 8/10 Minifigures: N/A Playability: 8/10 Parts: 8/10 Price: N/A Overall rating: 8/10 Overall Thoughts This set is a nice mini replica of the larger LEGO MINDSTORMS 51515 Robot Inventor set.

For a non-licensed set this size, it would probably normally retail for $24.99 USD / $34.99 CAD. For a 366 pieces set, it took me about 1.25 hours to sort the pieces and build the complete set. There are some Technic pieces which brings more variety to the build. Overall, its a neat set and probably a must have if you have the larger LEGO MINDSTORMS 51515 Robot Inventor set.
