Story: Lego Heroica Epic rewrite

 

 

 

Welcome back! Sorry I haven't posted in a bit. I've been kind of busy. This time I am going to be rewriting The Lego Heroica story, making it cooler, giving it more detail, putting my own spin on it. For those of you who don't know the original story or need to be refreshed on it, you can learn about it here: http://heroica.lego.com/en-us/BookOfLore/Default.aspx  and here:  http://heroica.lego.com/en-us/Comics/Default.aspx. And now what you have all been waiting for, here it is.  

 

 

 

Plot one: Drandora Port 

 

 

The wizard fought against the waves. "I've been on many oversea journeys, but is the worst weather yet," he muttered to himself. The wizard had learned that his homeland, Heroica, had been attacked by monsters coming from unknown places. He had only heard of goblins and Golems, but that was enough to make him head back  to his homeland and banish the monsters back to where they came from. Just then, the Wizard caught a glimpse of Heroica. "Hmm, I daresay I see Draida, or is that Drandora?" he muttered again to himself. It was always hard to tell Draida from Drandora, even without a storm. Suddenly the boat crashed. Shaken, the Wizard looked around. It looked like Drandora port, but it didn't look like any place that the Wizard knew. There were crumbled buildings and every once in a while sand creatures would slug by. Then suddenly the world went black.

Review: The Swamp Creature

 

 

 

 

Welcome back readers to my first review! Today I will be reviewing Lego Monster Fighters: The Swamp Creature. So now onto the review.

 

    The Instructions   

 

          

         

                                        

                                

The instructions came folded in the box, (no cardboard and only $6.99.) The instructions were, as always, easy to follow. I noticed no mistakes in my booklet, which gives them a solid 4/5.

 

 

 

 The Build

The build was fun and easy giving the build another 4/5

 

 

 

 

 

Parts

 

The parts are pretty decent for a small set (brown spear, the moonstone, silver 1x2 grill tiles, fish, frog, etc.) Overall I give the parts a 5/5.

 

 

The Minifigures

 

 

 

 

 

 

Frank rock is excellent! From the Elvis-styled hair all the way down to his printed legs, I easily give him a 5/5. The Swamp Creature is equally excellent, also earning a 5/5. I'll let you examine them for yourself in the picture.

 



    The Swamp Boat

 

 

 

 

 

                   

The swamp boat is easily one of my favorite components of the set, which is pretty amazing since the whole set is excellent. The boat is easily MOCable as a standard swamp boat if you remove the flick missiles. My only con is that the propeller in the back touches the ground. Overall, even with the one complaint it very easily earns a 5/5.

 



   The Swamp

 

 

 

 

 

The swamp is not as good as the swamp boat, but is still great. It also features a lot of the notable parts. With the frog, fish and seaweed. Overall it earns a 4/5                    



 

 

The Completed Set

 

 

 

 

 

The completed set has a lot to it for only $6.99. Overall with the excellent parts, over the top minifigures and awesome mini builds the set deserves an excellent 5/5.  

 

 

Until next time...
