The Black Gate

Hello I am talking about my new Lego set. This is called The Black Gate, this is a Lord of the Rings set.

There are 4 functions in this set. The first one is the moving doors.

The second is the lock on the doors.

and the catapult.

and the last is the secret door.

This photo shows the interior of the castle, guards can stand on the gate or hang out in the tower rest area or man the catapult or be the archer on guard.

On the tower there is a place for orcs to stand guard and do their rounds. This is on either side.

My favourite part would be the fact that if you buy two of this set you can connect them together and make the set a lot bigger but that is at the price of 240 dollars so I can not see that happening. You can see here that I made my own version of this extra tower on the right. My other favourite bit is the locking door and the great eagle.

Lego Lord of the Rings: Gandalf arrives

Hello everyone, 
                                                                                                                 
I would like to talk about Lord of the Rings: gandalf arrives. The characters are: Frodo and Gandalf. The set comes with a horse that can rear up on its hind legs and its head moves up and down. There is a snake that is actually a firework that explodes and turns into a dragon in the movie. It also comes with 2 sky rockets, one carrot and a letter. The letter is to Frodo from Bilbo and it is explaining some stuff and has the ring in it.

Gandalf has a beard that is a new Lego beard and a cloak that is gray. In the back of the wagon there is a barrel with fireworks and there is a bag for the carrot and the letter. Gandalf sits up front.

At the back of the instructions it has pictures of heaps and heaps of lord of the rings characters. My favourite would probably be Legolas, although I quite like Gandalf too.

The Black Pearl - My Opinion

Hi, sorry I haven't posted here in a while. This is a post about the Lego Black Pearl. I got this a few months ago, I saved up my own money for it. In total it cost $180 including shipping from America. I would have posted about it earlier but I haven't had time.

Here is me and the Black Pearl. This gives you an idea how big it is.

This is the main mast where Will Turner and Maccus are having a battle.

This is the side view of the captains quarters. It opens up on both sides and at the end of the boat. The deck on top has a mast and the ships wheel on it and you can lift up the whole deck.

This is the front of the boat with a black mermaid. The point under the mermaid is the anchor of the boat. 

These are the minifigures that came with the set. Their names are Jack Sparrow, Maccus, Will Turner, Davey Jones, Bootstrap Bill and Mr Gibbs.

This shows the whole ship. My favourite part is the main mast with the pirate flag. It has a platform for Lego guys to be put on.

It is one of my best sets that I have got and it was worth saving up so much money. The size could be better probably, it could be a bit longer. It took me about 3 hours to build with a little bit of help from my second dad. It was a bit frustrating to build because the bits came apart sometimes. The characters were very well detailed. My favourite is Davey Jones. If I was a Lego designer I would make there be more buildings on the ship.

If you do decide to buy it I reckon you should get it from Ebay because it wasn't on sale in New Zealand and it was the cheapest place online. It took me about 6 months to save up plus lots and lots of Christmas and birthday money that I received. Rating for me is 9 out of 10.
