Name: Mr. Freeze Ice Attack
Set Number: 70901
Pieces: 201
Price: $19.99
Minifigures: 3
Theme: Lego Batman
Year of Release: 2016
If you're looking for an affordable Lego Batman set that comes with Batman and a villain, then you've found the right one. This set is small and leaves a lot to the imagination. It took me about 20 minutes to build. I first started by building Batman.
This Batman minifigure is the same throughout all of the Batman sets. He comes with a helmet, a utility belt, a cape, a flamethrower, and some batarangs. The two faces he comes with are happy and scared. After Batman, I built Mr. Freeze. This is the newest model of Lego Mr. Freeze that is available. His entire body is detailed from his head to his legs with what looks like to be his freeze suit. He comes with just his head piece and his giant mech. Lastly, I made the security guard. His head and body are nicely detailed. The security guard comes with a helmet, mask, oxygen tank, and a gun. After I built the minifigures, I made the power plant, ice prison, and the mech suit.
The power plant will probably play a big role in the Batman movie coming out on February 10th because it is seen in the trailer. I would have liked if the power plant was bigger and had more features to it. You can connect this set to the Joker Balloon Escape and Scarecrow Special Delivery sets, but it's still a very small building that I think could have been better. It comes with three stickers. Personally, I don't like stickers because they peel over time and if you don't place them right, the whole build will look wonky. After the power plant, I went onto the mech. The mech takes up a majority of the pieces from the set. Its features include: a stud gun, a spot for a minifigure to stand, and posable joints. I wish the arms and legs had a few more joints, but the mech still turned out amazing. The tubes on its back also look very cool and make you think that thre is liquid moving around the mech. The last part of the set that I built was the ice prison. It's small enough for one minifgure or one security guard to fit in. I think that it was a nice addition to the set.
Overall, the set is small and good looking. Mr. Freeze and the security guard are both unique to this set. The mech is awesome and brings the whole set together. I wish the power plant was bigger, but maybe if combined with the Joker's Balloon set and the Scarecrow set it will be better? The piece-to-price ratio is great. I would rate this set 4/5. I hope this review was helpful to all who read it and that you continue to love LEGOS!

Name: The Scuttler
Set Number: 70908
Pieces: 775
Price: $79.99
Minifigures: 6
Theme: Lego Batman
Year of Release: 2017
Since the new year is here, the next wave of Lego sets for all of the different themes of Legos are out. The Scuttler was one of the more popular sets to be released this year. Its design is very radical from any set that has ever been made. It took me about an hour to build. I started off by building the minifigures.
I started off with the Joker minifigure. He comes in a lot of the Lego Batman sets. This Joker is unique because in this set he comes with a purple coat-tail which is only available in this set and the Joker Balloon Escape set. The Joker comes with his unique hair piece, the coat-tail, his pop-gun, and comes with two faces, one with a super big smile and one with a slight grin. The next minifigure I worked on was Poison Ivy. She is only available like this in this set, but is also available in a prison jumpsuit in the Arkham Asylum set. Ivy comes with her plant stand, two vines to hold, and a hairpiece. She also comes with two faces, one with her mouth closed and one with her mouth open. After Ivy, I made Batman. He comes in all the sets except The Joker Notorious Lowrider and the Catwoman Catcycle Chase sets. Batman comes with a black cape, two batarangs, a utility belt, and his helmet. Just like the other minifigures, he also comes with two faces, one angry and one surprised. Then I built Robin. He comes in a party tuxedo with a bow-tie which is an exclusive costume to this set. Just like all the other minifigures, Robin also has two faces, one happy and one sad. Lastly are the two Gordons. Both Barbra Gordon and Commissioner (James) Gordon are exclusive to this set. Barbra comes with a ballistic vest and a hair piece. The commissioner comes with a pistol and a hair piece. Both of the Gordons also come with two faces, one happy and one angry. All of the minifigures are awesome looking and make this set more attractive on top of the Scuttler vehicle.
After I finished the minifigures, I built the Scuttler. Its features include: a posable head, adjustable ears, a cockpit with two stud shooters, net shooter, a hidden jetpack, extendable arms each with dual stud shooters, and posable joints. The Scuttler also comes with a lot of stickers. It has about 6 stickers per arm and about 6 stickers on its back. On top of the design looking fantastic, it is really fun to play with. I can only imagine how cool this vehicle will be in the movie coming up in February.
As a whole, this set is fantastic. Along with getting 6 unique and exclusive minifigures, the set also comes with an awesome looking ship! The Scuttler has lots of features to add to its playability function. The only downside that I don't like about the Scuttler is the amount of stickers that it comes with. I would rate this set 5/5. I hope this review was helpful to all who read it and that you continue to love LEGOS!

Name: Yellow SubmarineSet Number: 21306
Pieces: 553
Price: $59.99
Minifigures: 4
Theme: The Beatles
Year of Release: 2016
This Lego Ideas set was released on November 1st of 2016. I've been looking forward to getting this set since it came out and only recently obtained it. The Beatles were one of my favorite groups growing up and I was super excited when I learned they were going to make a Lego from of them. It took me around an hour to build this set. I first began with the minifigures.
I built John Lennon first. He is wearing stripped pants and what looks like a purple/green top. John comes with two faces and a telescope. Next, I built Paul McCartney. He is wearing dual-colored pants along with a shirt and tie. Paul comes with a love letter and two faces. Then I built George Harrison. He is wearing black pants and a brown top. George comes with a submarine motor and also has two faces. Next I built Ringo Starr. Like John, he wears stripped pants and a flamboyant top. He comes with a black hole and has two faces. Lastly, the Beatles traveling companion, Jeremy Hillary Boob. He is their little brown and blue creature who has magical powers.
Then I built the Yellow Submarine. Its features include: a removable top, cockpit that all the Beatles can fit in, four rotating periscopes, two rotating propellers, an adjustable rudder, and a removable display stand. I feel that this build has more of a display aspect to it rather than play function. It also comes with foam or clouds under it like its emerging from the water or flying. The vehicle itself is interesting to look at and my favorite part about this set is that there were no stickers needed for the cool designs.
Overall, this set is awesome and makes me just want to listen to Beatles music all day. I personally think that it looks better for display than for playing with. The design of the ship is beautiful and the interior is just as interesting as the exterior. The piece-to-price ratio is a little high, but this is an exclusive set and is a must have if you're a Beatles fan. I would rate this set 4.5/5. I hope this review was helpful to all who read it and that you continue to love LEGOS!
