Lego Ninjago Summerline 2016 Haul

Hello people, two days ago when I checked the Lego website I realized the Summer ninjago line was out and just got carried away with the sets :D

Big Box!!!!!

I did write a previous post where I listed the sets I wanted to get and I did almost stay within that margin though I switched out one set.
Originally I had on my list:

• The lighthouse Siege
• The Kryptarium Prison Breakout
• The Ronin Mech now called the Salvage M.E.C.

So lets see.

Here are all the sets I got 

I think at first glance it is obvious what sets I got and which I did not. Although it is not on the list, I did have the stealth vehicle on my mind but instead of it I got the Samurai X Cave.

Let's take a closer look shall we.

This set looks great and once its build I am sure it will be

Of course the lighthouse, if you know my preferences in Ninjago, you will know that I love buildings more than vehicles. 

The M.E.C. is still here and it looks great.

This set I got mainly cause of the pirates and while it looks small, I think it may have a few secrets. 

Finally in the end I got this from the lego store as a present with my order.

So those are the sets I bought and I think the rest may follow but not for a while. In  the end I think the Value is great compared to lets say the new Star Wars sets.

The free present looks quite good and could actually fit within the Ninjago sets. 

I hope you enjoyed the new sets as well and I will see you soon. 

Have a great day,

My Lego Summer 2016 buy list!

Hello fellow Lego fans. Today I wanted to talk about the Lego sets I am guaranteed getting from the Summer 2016 wave.

-Just as a side note, the pics where taken from the following blog talking about the Nürnberg Toy fair-

A bit surprising is the fact that so far I only have 3 sets on my list and all are Ninjago. I was a bit disappointed at the Star Wars selection especially at the Force Awakens set as they could have done better.
In all fairness the year isn't over and if they do release a new Death Star, it is very likely that I will get it.
Now onto the sets.

First off is the Lighthouse Siege defense I believe it is called. I got into ninjago mainly for the buildings and seeing a new one definitely made me happy so this is going onto the list. 

I like this set mainly due to the bottom rock structure. From the get go I can see that this set can only be really displayed from one side but that's alright. 

Next is the Ronin mech. This set will add nicely to the ongoing mech battle in my display and I like the design of it a lot. 

Last is the Kryptanian Break out set. I am also a fan of small structures and this one looks pretty neat. This set seems to be heading into a pirate direction and that I like a lot as pirate themes always have my attention. Could this mean a bigger pirate ship in the future? 

These are some sets I will definitely be buying 

My price guesses? (I have not checked if there are set prices yet, these are just my thoughts)

• Kryptanian Break out: 30 euros
• Ronin Mech: 50 Euros
• Lighthouse Siege Defense: 100 - 150 Euros. 

I am hoping for many more great Ninjago sets and would buy them all but you always have to make a choice. 

Thank you for reading and stay tuned for a very special review coming very very soon. 

Until next time, have a great day.

Lego NINJAGO Layout final update (for now)!

Hello peeps and Lego fans.
It's been a while, again lots of stuff to deal with.
Anyhow, I worked a lot on my NINJAGO layout recently and wanted to share it with you.
Just be warned, it is all a bit pushed together due to space reasons and could look a lot better if I had the resources.

Here is a quick overview of everything. Sadly there is a blank table space that I could not fill at the moment but maybe in the future. 

It is set up like a battle and yes, you will see ninjas twice or more everywhere. 

What I am most proud of is this section here. My lego minecraft sets had to suffer for the base plates but it looks pretty neat in my opinions. The only things I want to refine is the lower sections of the river walls. 

Here is a look at the baddies. I know, loads of water, but since a lot of the enemy sets I own are flying and the city of stix is in water I decided that it is alright for now. 

I always like the idea of having the anaconda temple on top of mountains so I tried that out. I think it looks decent but you can clearly see my amateur MOC experience. I also switched the bridge so that there was a way down. The helicopter is a very tight fit. 

To seperate the areas a bit I added a small waterfall which runs into a hole in the ground. I also added a waterwheel to supply electricity. 

Here is the bottom of a lot of the sets. I used almost all my clear pieces but the two airships just had to be in the "air".

On top I had a shelf (ikea) which I used for a dragon showdown. 

Fun fact: Master Wu I only display 2 even though I have him 4 times. I liked him riding his Dragon the most. He is hidden inside the flying ship and inside the temple. The only other place he is in is his little airbaloon but you can barely see him. 

Here is another look at the Ninja side. Placing the tiger island was hard so I put it in the back just to make it seem like the enemies are invading the Ninja land. On the bottom left you can also see a bit of enemies fighting ninjas. 

Finally I added kind of a border. A double border actually. Also there is the rope cannon used to bring down the enemy mech. 

Overall I think my layout looks nice but it can be a lot better. One day I will definitely expand on it and buy more baseplates. 

You can clearly see my lack of experience building MOC creations but I think I did a good job with the area next to the Airjitzu Temple.

Thank you as always for reading and stay tuned for more reviews and other posts

Lego Ninjago layout update!

Hello readers, I think I mentioned that I was working on a Ninjago layout.
I have an update picture. It does not look excellent so far by any means and I am currently only using the pieces I have and my minecraft set suffered a severe deconstruction :/ but that is what lego is ^^
So here you go:

I have to see what to add to the lower side but I do not think I want more water at least not past the second baseplate. I will need to acquire more baseplates :(.

Oh and these are all the sets I need to display :D with 2 more coming in. 

This is all for now. Any suggestions? Comment :D

Much love as always.

Lego Collection Updates and new layouts!!!

Hello wonderful readers. I have been stumped with work, could you believe it :D

I have been doing an internship but that is not why you are here.
I have recently made loads of changes to my setup and wanted to share it.
The reason behind this is the fact that I got quite a load of sets from ninjago to minecraft to systems.
Ah well lets get to the pics.

This is currently my ninjago set up. I had something else to the left but will dedicate the table to mainly ninjago as I want to make an entire battle set up between good and bad. 

The city of Stix is very nice and I think one of my favorites. But for the moment I will lay low with ninjago as I want to wait for the summer wave. 

This is above the temple and the city of stix. I will move them down once I set up things. The anaconda temple is on some  mountain pieces. 

This is the other thing I got over a private seller. I paid 80 euros for this. It was a steal to be honest as the person who sold it to me had the original set plus 1 mountain plate and a normal green base plate. I ordered the 4th mountain plate over bricklink. However I think I may use 2 of the mountain plates for the ninjago as the whole thing does not fit in my showcase. 

here is my minecraft stuff all mashed up :D

This is what it all looks like currently on one side. I have the planets from the lego star wars planet sets hooked up with a line and hung them up because why not. 

Here is another look at the completed planets colelction. I was very happy to finish this. 

Currently I am still expecting an Aquazone base set. The complete orient expedition line and another Ninjago set don't know which one yet as my girlfriend bought it for me for valentines day. 

I will be back with another update soon. 

Any tips or comments are appreciated and wanted :)

Thank you for reading and have a great day. V.
