LEGO Chima

[Lint]

Would recommend the few that I got
- Equila's Tank
- Eagle Cycle
- Eagle Jet/Bird

I got the cycle and the bird, admittedly I havent built the bird yet. I'm becoming one of those people

The cycle looks bloody fantastic and the transformation is clever. However it is a pretty simple build

Yeah, I am finding that most LEGO sets are getting easier and quicker to make, I feel LEGO is focusing more on the 'action' aspect of playing with the sets.

I used to think this but then I had a look at the instruction sheets of 'classic' sets and boy were they simple... like dead simple. Nowhere near the amount of parts nor the build complexity. What I meant was Chima is easier to build compared to collector oriented themes and even other kids themes like Galaxy Squad, Ninjago and City.

What I will say though is that the instructions have definitely gotten oversimplified. I do not need a two page spread to tell me where to put a single piece.

i've got the eagle sets as well. the other animal themes aren't as good looking :/

I haven't tried this yet, but was thinking about the possibility of combing the five sets into a slightly larger mech. The only ideas I have in mind so far are to use the gorilla's hands and keep the eagle's wings, but modify it somewhat.

I think this is an awesome idea but you'll probably find you'll need some extra pieces to pull it off.

Just had a look at them in store and I really like the new animal minifig heads. Particularly the scorpion which looks like a predator head

thinking of getting him and the spider and rhino

I'm looking to sell ALL of my first year Chima sets if anyone is interested. Will post a seperate thread for these when I get a chance this weekend.
