Yet another theme completed for now! A lone straggler, Sailboat Rescue has not been released for sale on this side of the Atlantic (or Pacific!), so I won't be reviewing it until that changes.

LEGO City Jungle Starter Set review 60157
This should be my last LEGO City Jungle theme review until the Air Drop Helicopter is made available on my side of the world (it's one of many sets released in Europe & Asia months before the Americas this year, following LEGO's standard rotation of distribution).

Mega Construx Halo UNSC Gungoose Rampage set review
With my last large set out of the way, I can finally get to some of the little things that have been sitting in the queue for awhile!
LEGO Creator 2017 Carousel build & review videos 10257
The huge box for this set has been sitting in my physical to-do-queue quite menacingly for awhile and I could hardly be more relieved to have finally gotten it processed. What a good day it is.

LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Turbo Track Racer review 31070
This set has a nicer 3rd/smallest build option than usual, but the front-of-the-box build is significantly smaller than... the front of the box.

LEGO Creator Modular house Super-Build - 31067 + 31068 + 31069 combination
Here it is, the ultimate test of this modular thing. In this video I show, from good angles & bad, the two official super-combinations of the main builds of the Modular Poolside Holiday, Modular Modern Home, and Modular Family Villa. With this many assemblies to swap around, quickly coming up with new structures is actually a lot of fun. It's like building with LEGO, but using pieces that are each made of a bunch of LEGO pieces. LEGO-ception. Expensive, though!
As I bought three of each set, I hope to make 2 or 3 fully-enclosed semi-custom houses to add to the residential neighborhood in New Jang City, using only the official modules.
Mega Construx Call of Duty Urban Assault Copter review
This is a replica of the Eurocopter EC-635 featured in Call of Duty: Ghosts. I feel like the subject matter may limit the appeal of the set, but the designers did their job pretty well (with a couple of minor exceptions that I point out in the video). Missing parts? Zero. Malformed parts? Zero. Am I seeing a trend here? Please be "yes."
LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Modular Poolside Holiday review! 31067
Just as my faith in this little "modular" experiment was fading to black, this little thing came along and restored my faith. Here, the system works, by virtue of a foundation of good basic design of the structure first, to which the extra element of interchangeability is then added.
LEGO Friends Sunshine Catamaran review 41317
This season it's readily apparent in the numbers that fans of LEGO Friends have migrated away to more girl-focused channels, but I will continue to review products from the "pink aisle" that I find interesting. For example, this catamaran here, surprisingly, is one of the more spacious and playable boats LEGO has ever made, period. It's a really good toy.
