This #astronaut from #BrickLoot made me smile throughout the whole build, and the final product is awesome! 10/10 would recommend! (Minifig for scale and poses on the @LEGO #LEM base, and I also swapped out the visor for the gold one from the LEGO Creator astronaut.)
heres something abit new for me, im gonna do a review!
brickloot is a monthly lego subscription box
ive been getting it for over a year now, so naturally i have a methodology to the madness
when you get a brickloot you get 4-8 things centered on a theme, this theme is all about oceanic life baby
a reef ranger, a fish, a scuba crab, misc underwater pieces, a baseplate, and a diver this go around (every box always has one minifigure at the verrrry least!)
pretty standard baseplate, well take a look at the diver in abit!
lets look at this brick pack...
hm!
small oversight in making some randomized pieces!
lego sharks come in two pieces! i only got the body!
we got a headless shark! poor guy
besides that unfortunate fellow we got...
scuba gear, many amphibian friends...a couple reptilian! an anchor, some shells, coral, most things needed for an ocean!
at least our diver has some more gear
aswell as a second face!
moving onto the fish
pretty standard gentleman, has some nice translucent pieces to give him abit of a razzle dazzle!
in my opinion i think he could have a stand of some kind, but i can make one out of my own lego collection
however! somebody here does have a stand!
the scuba crab! quite a silly little guy
every box has some sort of middle ground set, not big, but not some small little extra
sometimes it's an accessory to the big set!
in this case its more of a standalone friend...heh...stand. alone. cause the crab has a stand...hehehehe...
comes with a couple stickers, which i wont be using
i rarely use stickers for lego builds, luckily however...
hes perfectly fine without them! the eyes are done by using a rotating peg piece, so after moving this fella sometimes they look abit crosseyed (quite cute in my opinion)
onto the big attraction
the reef ranger!
every box always has some big set, sometimes it's a vehicle, sometimes it's a building, sometimes it's a whole scene!
it has quite afew stickers...
which means some detail will be missing from my personal build of it
i do like it!
theres just an unfortunate error.
the bottom portion is abit warped, so it cant stay on (this is an issue with one piece being manufactured wrong, not how its built)
not everything can be perfect, but its okay
lets take a look at the side portion of this set
now THIS is cute!
treasure in the bones of a wrecked ship
i have a personal obsession with lego jewel pieces, so seeing three included sure does make me smile
all for this little fiend to hoard...
all together the builds do go together, if you had any other oceanic lego sets you could probably make quite the display
i am a big fan of the collective variety in fish colors between the underwater pieces pack and the reef ranger set
(coming from someone with...so many orange lego fish in her collection...)
overall...i give it a 7.5/10 for this months theme.
the builds are nice, i enjoy the amount provided, but i am a touch scorn by the sharks missing head and the warped piece on the reef rangers bottom
this is the first time ive ever made some sort of structured review
i get legos alot (even outside of these monthly brickloot boxes)
so maybe i should review things more often!
im not affiliated in any sort of way, im just a massive nerd over legos
bonus kitty because she was disturbed that i was too busy to let her in my lap
Trying to decide which light pole design I like better.
