Review: Enlighten 1207 Girls Series Micro Plane

I love my girlfriend!  She decided to surprise with a box from Enlighten!

I love the Enlighten Girls series as it presents Girls in awesome situations albeit sometimes in weird motifs.

This one is apparently a pilot as shown on the box:

Strangely she seems to be wearing a grass top.

The parts come in one sealed plastic bag:

And we get a nice selection of red plane pieces and the minifig itself.  Again it seems the minifig is in a bikini.  Doesn't it get cold while flying?

The wheels are awesome with nice quality rubber.  I'm a sucker for brick toy manufacturers that use rubber wheels on their kits.  It lends an air of quality and class.  Enlighten is one of the bunch that is high on the list in terms of quality.

And here we have our adventurous lady pilot. Cute minifig.  The feel is almost Lego-like.  I still find her costume a bit strange though.

The plane itself wasn't a tough build so here it is with the lady pilot.

A fun set to build.  After looking at it I still wonder how cold it gets up in the clouds.  Apparently her white gloved hands help keep her warm.

Thanks hon for this set!  I think I'll look for the other items in this line.

Review: Lego 5001621 Han Solo (Hoth)

Whoa!

I went home last night and jumped in glee as this was waiting for me back home:

My friend Kathryn played Santa and decided to send me a couple of Lego polybags:

So I get Lego 5001621 Han Solo (Hoth) and Lego Spring Polybag 40052.  AWESOME!  Someday I will repay this kindness!

The Spring Scene review will have to wait as my girlfriend has already indicated she wants to build it.

Leaving me the Han Solo polybag to play with.  Not a bad deal at all!

Han Solo!

From the head piece we can already see that Han has two faces printed on him

As the polybag indicates I get a whooping 5 pieces!  HAHAH!  But I definitely like this polybag since it gives me access to Hoth Han Solo!


Fast forward to the LONG building process (since i was gleefully staring at what I had in hand).

Here's tha main face print!

Here's the second face print for han with the snow googles....

And for reference here's Empire Strikes Back Hoth Han Solo:

All I need now is the tauntaun Han is riding!

Kenny!

So back to Hoth Han:

Here's Han geared up for the fierce winter climate on Hoth:

Or Han Solo doing his best Kenny impression

Kenny!

And here's how he looks like if you use the other face:

Not bad although the facial expression is haha for me :)

In full Kenny mode!

As a Starwars and Lego fan,  I find Hoth Han Solo to be extremely awesome!

The two polybag gift package was EXTREMELY AWESOME!

Now to look for a loose Tauntaun...

(and it creeped up on me, this will be the 50th published post for my lego blog!  YAY ME!  Thanks for reading folks!)

My First Lego Set!

This was my first Lego set:

This was the set responsible for my life long love affair with brick toys.  This was way back in 1978.  And I have been thankful to my parents for letting 3 year old me play with a set meant for a 5 year old.

You had to attach the sticker to the minifigure's body so it'd look like a policeman's uniform.  And of course the quirky car that couldn't fit the figure.

Thanks to http://www.brickset.com for the image.
