Pieces:1990
Price: 249.99
Out of Episodes Four, Five, and Six,
Return Of The Jedi is widely hated by many of my adult Star Wars fan
friends of mine. It's often considered the one that is strictly geared
towards kids because of the cute, the fury, the Ewoks. Now, I am not
huge on Star Wars, although the Lego Star Wars line is incredible. And
this set just proves how the Ewok Village was made for the LEGO
brand.
I have always loved LEGO trees because
of the way that they build trunks and branches. It looks a little
abstract while being realistic at the exact same time which is pretty
tough to do. This set comes with an impressive sixteen minifigures
that includes five different Ewoks and six main characters that are
in their Return Of The Jedi outfits. Also, it comes with a speeder
bike and scout trooper which is very cool.
With the outrageous price tag of
249.99, certainly it won't be under every tree this Christmas but if
you are looking for a big gift to give someone (especially one that's
a Star Wars fan) than look no further.
*This one is best found online due to most stores not carrying because of the price tag.
LEGO Minecraft Sets
Price: 19.99-109.99
I will not claim to understand the
phenomenon that is Minecraft. However, I can certainly appreciate something
that has a fan base such as this game turned LEGO sets. I have
watched people play the game but still don't quite get the attraction
to it. That being said, these sets are pretty awesome and
seem to be accurate to the game.
Some of the sets include The Ender
Dragon, The Cave, The Farm, The First Night, and the show piece of
the set, The Mine.
If you have a little or big fan of this
video game then I don't think you can go wrong with any of these LEGO
sets that are fairly priced.
LEGO The Hobbit: Mirkwood Elf Army
Price: 29.99
Pieces: 276
With the new Hobbit movie coming out
this year I wanted to choose a set that could be a big hit. This
Mirkwood Elf Army set is insane with the minifigures that any kid (no
matter the age) would love to have. The figures in this set are good
for battles and army building and also includes a Warg which is a
brown, panther, looking creature. It also comes with a wall which as
a bonus has a tree as a part of it.
For the price you can't go wrong with
this set for The Hobbit fan looking to add to their collection.
LEGO Minifigures Series 12
Price: 2.99
If you have ever read any of my
articles on Legos than you know I absolutely love the LEGO
Minifigures. They are the little LEGO people and they come in blind
bag packaging. That means that you don't know which figure you will
get until you buy it and open it. If you want a specific one than
your best bet is to go to Ebay and pay a bit more. That way you are
guaranteed to get the one you want.
Series 12 does not disappoint. It has
some great figures including one that has a remarkable resemblance to
Katniss from The Hunger Games. There is also a Jester and a lamp
complete with genie. One of my favorites is a very simple one. Its a
gamer that is wearing player one t shirt with headphones and a
controller.
These are extremely fun to collect and
can be fun gifts no matter what the age.
The LEGO Movie DVD/BLU-RAY
14.99-19.99
If you have been living under a rock in
2014 than let me tell you, there was a LEGO movie released. I will
also tell you that the movie is fantastic. Truly, it is a wonderful
film that will capture the attention of LEGO & NON-LEGO fans of
any age. I was extremely excited for this movie but after I watched
it I was completely and utterly blown away.
I won't say much about the story as to
not ruin anything but this movie is chocked full of original
characters and some cameos of characters that everyone will know.
The best part of this LEGO movie is
that it embraces everything that makes the LEGO brand what it is. It
is plain to see that this movie was made by people that truly love
the brick toy line and respected it enough to do what this movie
pulled off.
Oh, and don't think this is a kids movie, it
is, but it also holds a valuable lesson that can teach adults a
little something too.
You may look at this list and think
that's it? Well no its not but it is a short list that might give you
a few ideas no matter what your LEGO fan is into. There should be something here they will enjoy.
