Photo Set Reviews on Flickr
I know these aren't the in-depth reviews you were hoping for, but as a bit of filler there are three new photo reviews up on my Flickr Stream. All three at Toys R Us "sneak peek" sets due out at general retail later in June.

Photo Review: Luke's Landspeeder
Photo Review of LEGO set 8092 - Luke's Landspeeder
This one's been out for a while, but I just now got my sets from shop@home. (Limited Edition stuff makes me SO grumpy...)
There's one huge selling point for this set - minifigure updates to the classic New Hope cast. I broke out the "vintage 2000" figures for comparison photos. Click through for all the fun on Flickr.

Set Photos - 20014 March/April Brickmaster 4x4
I received my March/April Brickmaster promo set in the mail yesterday.
It's decidedly meh. No new parts, no clever building techniques...just a pretty average creator set.
Photos are up at my Flickr Stream...click through to check out the set for yourself!

LEGO Item Review - Atlantis Notepad
Not really a LEGO "set" - but still worth a look. This is an Atlantis-themed Promo item I picked up at the Schaumberg,IL LEGO store a few weeks ago. Click through for a few more photos.

LEGO Set Photo Review: Duplo Farm Animal Mystery!
Many in the LEGO community are excited about the upcoming "Mystery Mini-Figure" collectible sets. I know I am.
But did you know LEGO is already testing out a Mystery Assortment? It's true! And it's DUPLO!
Take a gander at this Spring/Easter Impulse set. You get three DUPLO bricks (two yellow, one green) and one of five mystery characters.
Yeah. Four pieces.
For three bucks.
Beyond the silly price point, there's another fatal flaw with this set. The figure is supposed to be a mystery, right? Well, if you flip over the package....
...You can see what's inside. This bag, for example, has the calf in it. (Click to enbiggen)
I suppose this was done to keep people from ripping open the bags to make sure their kids get a full set...but at that point, why not just make bags for each animal?
It's a puzzlement.
The final mystery, though? What a farm animal is supposed to do with three DUPLO blocks.
Here's my solution:
Anyway, if you want to see more photos, the full Flickr set is here.

I stopped at Target last night and they had stocked their Easter Impulse Item row - and that means new LEGO mini-sets!
There were two new CITY sets, two Star Wars Mini-Ships, and an interesting DUPLO mystery bag.
For starters, here's the two CITY impulse sets. Click through to see more photos!
30002 LEGO CITY Police Boat Impulse
30010 LEGO CITY Fire Chief Impulse

LEGO Photo Review: 7592 - Construct-A-Buzz
I decided I wanted a giant Buzz head to go with my mini-fig scaled one. When I stopped by TRU this afternoon, they were in the process of marking up this set from $26.99 to $29.99. It looked like most of the Toy Story sets were getting price increases. (ANOTHER $3-$5 per set, over the already inflated prices!)
Oh, TRU, there's a reason I don't shop at your store 90% of the year. If it weren't for the addict in me needing these new sets ASAP, I'd rather give my money to any of your competitors.

Oh, so very wrong.

LEGO Photo Review: 8059 - Seabed Scavenger
Probably the weakest of the 2010 Atlantis sets...but still not bad.

More 2010 Atlantis Goodness
This is by far my favorite Atlantis set.

LEGO Photo Review: 8511 - ChromaStone
I have never been more disappointed in a LEGO set in my life. I knew the Ben-10 line was going to suck...but I had no idea I'd be paying over a dollar a part for a super-low quality Bionicle knock-off build.
Avoid the Ben-10 line like the plague. If we're lucky, the line will tank quickly and LEGO will move on to bigger and better things.
