Mine Mech #8957

This set was awesome! I always want to have a lego robot that looks like this when I was a kid. The Robot build was fairly good and the pilot was actually inside the robot. One of its hand was a pincer and the other one is a rotating cutter for crushing rocks and boulders. This set also include a pick axe and a dynamite which is good addition to my Lego weapons.

Pros:
A cool helmet, awesome minifig, rare dynamite, and one Rock monster!

Cons:
The one thing I hate about this set was how they build the feet of the mine mech. I always hate when Lego build a model in a vertical way which means this set wont fit on the lego the baseplate studs

Sports Car #8402

this is an awesome car. it comes with a cool gas pump and the guy it comes with is cool as well. This set also allows you to build a phone booth which is nice and as a added bonus, this set gives away a lego tree!

Pros:
The minifigure was cool and the car in this set was much more cooler! This is the coolest lego vehicle I had in my arsenal.

Cons:
Only one minifigure can fit on the car. It is much better if they widen it up a little big so one minifigure can sit alongside the driver of this sweet and luxarious vehicle

Minifigure:
City Minifigure

Camper #7639

It comes with a few cool rare pieces, such as the bike, surfboard, a new hair piece and culinary tools. The new hair piece for female minifigure was sexy. The lego Bicycle was also nice.

Pros:
You can open the both sides of the van and you will notice that inside of it was the compact interiors designed for this model.

Cons:
This set has no flaws except for the palm tree sticker which looks a little obnoxious depending on the light.

Minifigs:
Male Civilian
Female Civilian
Fish

BBQ Stand #8398

A Grill, Ketchup, Mustard, Chicken leg, and a cool Chef's hat, what more do you need for a street vendor?

Pros:
This set includes a Chef minifig and a opening chest.

Cons
The only minor complaint I have is that the Umbrella could have used some sort of pattern on it but it's easily swapped out for one that does. Also, The brick that act as a small fridge build in a slant way. it means you cannot fit this on baseplate stud if this is standing in this way! However, this problem can be solve by adding additional pieces that allow horizontal build to v=connect on vertical studs.

Minifigure:
Chef

Castle Building Set #6193

This set allows you to build a small castle and a dragon made of bricks. The knight was a regular Crown knight equipped with a standard sword and Standard Knight's helmet. The casle has a mechanism that can open its drawbridge. This set is good addition to any army of knight.

Pros:
The build was okay, The one thing i like is the inverted slope bricks which is perfect if placed in the corner of the tower. The brown plate was also sweet and can be used as a base plate for small structures of a ceiling on struchtures that has a huge hollow inside. THe one bonus part here is there is also a extra pieces that can build a horse and catapult.

Cons:
It would be great if the minifigure on this set has a armor.

Minifig:
Male Crown Knight

Weapons:
Sword
Staff 2x

Pirate Building Set #6192

For me, This was the best building set. The pirate Captain was very cool. Base on his face print, he was the youngest Pirate that Lego has. His torso is also unique and he doesnt have any battle injury like Captain Brickbeard or Captain Iron Hook. The Brick elements here can creat a small ship, a shark and a chest. The set also has a three clear jewels which i found very rare. I really love this set and the price was also cheap.

Pros:
Hooray for a new Captain in a cheap set!! The ship was cool and can set journey on his own!

Cons:
Nothing needs improvement on this set. but to make this thing astonishing is replace the red chest made of bricks to the real lego chest, then add lego coins as bounty

Minifigs:
Male Pirate Captain

Weapon:
Cutlass

Mini Robot #5616

There is nothing special about this set, a plain Mars Mission astronaut and a Robot made of Bricks. I only bought this set for the Mini Robot made with bricks and the Mine sweeper tool

Cons.
It would be much sweeter if they add additional Robot

Minifigure:
Astronaut

Minifig Weapon:
Mine Sweeper
Pick Axe
Binocular
Loud hauler

Jungle Duel #7624

I mainly bought this set for Indiana and Mutt figures. The breaking table is cool. I liked the amount of weapons and the detail of the minifigures. If I had one thing to add it would be a whip made of twine.

Pros:
3 great minifigures!
Neat banana!
Cool swords!
Indy's backpack can hold little gold coins!
The table really falls in half!
3 little ants!

Cons:
The tent is made out of weird paper. I had to add on two more pieces to make the tent solid so LEGO people can walk in it. And I had to add on 4 pieces to the sides so that the paper doesn't fall off easily.
Do not be fooled. The pictures of this set make it look big. It is not that big. It is really small. The box is twice as big as it should be.

Minifigures:
Indiana Jones™
Mutt Williams™
Colonel Irina Spalko™
Ant (3x)

Weapons:
Whip
Dagger (2x)
Cutlass
Katana
Sword
