Lego legends of chima set review: Eagle legend beast

Here's my Lego legends of chima set review, the Eagle legend beast! I bought this along with Lavertus's twin blade at Metro 3 days ago. Here's a picture of it.



To the review!
Minifigure: Awesome as always but I already have Eris, but she is used to make another female eagle. Also, I certainly did NOT buy this just for the minifigure, I wanted the legend beast, so that's what we're looking at next. Oh, also, there's that awesome transparent blue shield(which in that picture I accidentally covered Eris's face with it :P). (9 and a half/10)

Legend beast: I wouldn't even say it's one bit attracting... And the eagle has a tendency to fall over its weight.  I only think the tail looks okay and the wings just, to me, looks utterly terrible. (5/10)
Pieces: The winning part of this set is THE PIECES!!! OH YEAH!!
Basically there are some more of those yellow exo force claw/finger pieces... thingy, 6 white exo force claw/finger pieces which are new to me and a new colour for the new 3 finger piece! :D There's also a new shield piece which is included for all of the minifigures in the legend beasts sets and some mini-ball and socket joints are included too! :D There's also a 1x2 slope piece(I don't know what's the official name of this piece) which is in white which is on the eagle's head with a few stickers, and a yellow piece that is used for the beak(without the 1x1 plate put under that yellow beak like piece)! (10/10)
Total: 24/30
So basically majority of my points are lost due to the Legend beast, so one thing's for sure that I should NEVER EVER buy a legend beast again. :P Unless I'm buying it for minifigures I couldn't get because of them being out of my budget such as Laval, Cragger, Gorzan(I probably won't be buying the gorilla legend beast since I'm not a fan of gorillas) and Worriz. But anyway, that's it for now and I hoped this help you with your set choices!

Lego legends of chima set review: Lavertus's twin blade

Here's my Lego legends of chima set review, Lavertus's twin blade! I bought this along with the Eagle legend beast set at Metro two days ago. Here are 3 pictures of it.


Whole set

Review time!
Minifigures: Great minifigures as always. Though I really don't like the fact that Scutter has no real minifigure legs. :\ (9/10)
Vehicle: It's overall appearance is great, and the special feature makes it two times even greater! :D (10/10) Here's the video of the function.





Pieces: There are a LOT of new pieces in this set for me, such as all of the orangey-yellow pieces in this set, since I don't really buy lion tribe vehicles, I don't really have a lot of those pieces so they are quite new. Also, the brown coloured Frost Beast weapon spike thingys(the ones used as the 'lion head' mane) are new too! The rotor blades also, the grill piece thingy used for the mechanism, some of those dark brown version of a 1x2 slope piece that has a 1x1 plate space, similar to the 1x3 version which also has a 1x1 plate space. There are also those Hero Factory(HF) 3.0 claws in dark pearl grey/gunmetal grey which was released in HF already. Oh, and there's also a rubber band used for the mechanism, too! So basically there are quite a number of new stuff here. (10/10)
Total: 29/30
That's it for now and I hoped you enjoyed this review!
