Lone Ranger - Stagecoach - 79108

Been holding on to this set for a while.  I picked this set up this spring when the wife and I were down visiting family in the lower 48 at the Lego store in Mall of America.  My wife felt bad with all the stuff she was buying so she let me indulge in this larger set.  I got this set well before the movie ever came out and I'm not sure if I'd even seen a preview, but I was pretty excited for the sets.  I really like the Western themed stuff.  That being said I still haven't seen the movie.   Let's have a look at the set.

Sorry for the blurry photo, my iphone is temperamental sometimes. 

Besides getting 5 minifigures you also get 3 horses.

I love the detail on the stage coach.

The Safe is probably the coolest feature and you get a little bar of silver to put in it.

The rear end has a luggage compartment the you can launch the suitcase out of.

Let's have a look at the mini's!

First up the Lone Ranger.  I'm pretty sure he's the same in all the sets.

Next we have Red Barrington.

She has two faces to play with.

Nice detailing and the bustle is a nice feature too.

Tonto also comes with two faces.  This the exact mini you get in the Polybag too, only he comes with a Tomahawk. Tonto also has two faces.

And Lego has decided to recycle the crow for the Series 11 scarecrow.  I can see them also being used for other sets as well. Especially Halloween and maybe Monster Fighters.

You also get two bandits, Jesus and Barret. 

Over all a really nice playset with lots of accessories.  Sorry about the blurry photos. I'd already put the set away when I realized how bad some of them were.

Minifigure Spotlight Series 11 - The Scarecrow

Just in time for Halloween or the Wizard of Oz!!

Probably my second favorite figure of the set we get the Scarecrow. And while the Elf might be the easiest minifigure to feel for, this one is a close second. Hard to miss the pitch fork and hat.  Lego also found a way to use all those extra crows from it's Lone Ranger - Tonto minifigure it had left over.

Just an overall great looking minifigure and all the detail on the both sides of the body, head and arms.

Minifigure Spotlight - Series 11 - The Yeti

Heck yeah!  I finally was able to find a Yeti in a pile of well molested Series 11 packs today.

This is by far my favorite of the Series 11 collection.  He looks so mean, but he's got an ice cream bar.

I also  like the really cool head type. The head is all one piece.

Superman vs Power Armor Lex 6862

You may find this hard to believe, but growing up I was a huge comic book fan.  Oddly enough I was more of a DC fan than Marvel.  I still loved Spiderman, the X-men, the Avengers, and especially Iron Man, but I was really a big Justice League of America fan.  It was a great comic.  You got all the great DC heroes all in one book.  I think that's my one complaint with Lego's DC Universe it's all Superman and Batman centric, but you do have some great anncillary characters that come with a few of these sets.  This set is one I've had my eye on for some time and what better time to pick it up than when there's a sale.  Not only that, but this is the only current set with the Superman in classic costume and you get Lex Luthor and Wonder Woman to boot!  Plus Lex's Power Armor is pretty kick ass.

I've never picked up or seen one of Lego's Hero Factory kits, but I'd have to assume that alot of the components are the same or similar.

The hands on the power armor are pretty great.

As is the Krytonite Gun on the right arm.

Lex looks pretty bad ass sitting behind the controls.

A little less bad ass on his own though.  I think this really could be anybody.  Business suit guy? Too bad they didn't take advantage and put Lex in his personal body armor from say like the Super Powers days.

Wonder Woman is all around great.  I'm curious if we're going to get to see her in her own set or another costume.

She comes with two faces to choose from too.

This is a great Superman Minifigure.  The three new movie tie-in sets all feature him in his movie costume, but I think this one takes the cake with it's bright colors.

Superman also comes with another face.

Over all a great little set.

Minifigure Spotlight - Series 11 The Welder

Well I managed to find a few packs of Series 11.  They were all well molested, but unopened.   Out of the three figures  the best one I got was this guy.  The Welder.
