Episode 17 we feature a HUGE set…a full 13 pieces. It is a LEGO Atlantis set from 2010 and comes with 1 mini figure of Manta Warrior and a pile of rocks. We do not hide the fact that we don’t like this set. Yes, the mini figure is great, but what a pointless set. It is the cheapest way to get the Manta Warrior, so we’ll just leave it at that.

Episode 16 we review LEGO 6210, Jabba’s Sail Barge. We LOVE this set! One of our all-time favorites from the Star Wars theme. This, of course, is the classic scene from Return of the Jedi where Luke is being thrown into the Sarlacc Pit. This set was released in 2006 and comes with 781 pieces and 8 mini figures. The mini figures included are Boba Fett, R2-D2, Jabba the Hutt, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Lando Calrissian and a Gamorrean Guard.

Episode 15 we review LEGO set 21002, the Empire State Building. This 77 piece set was released in 2009 and is part of the Architecture series. This famous New York City landmark stand 7.1 inches tall with a 3.1 inch base. It was an easy build, despite the recommended 10+ recommended age. This set we would not recommend for kids so much as for an adult that would put it on their desk. Would also be a nice collectible for any collector of all things New York. Set does not include any mini figures.

One is Combustix, which we LOVE, it’s a yellow rock monster and comes with crystals in hand. The Fire Blaster is a mining vehicle equipped with dynamite and a water hose to keep away the rock/lava monsters so Rex, the other mini figure, can get his job DONE.
