OK - CIVIL WAR MINI-FIGURES

 Not near the quality of leading brands, however at only ZAR 10.00  they are of fair quality with some nice detail. Both have 'alternative faces' which on Iron Man is a little difficult to see the differences.

Captain America's shield is translucent and hair was included should he not wear his mask.

A clear extension piece is included with each to pose them 'flying'.

Each figure has the metallic coloured base and a flat black base and for some reason odd bits and pieces are also included.

LEGO® CITY #60070 - WATER PLANE CHASE

A very straight forward set, that offers a lot of play-ability. Not something we would have gone out of our way to buy, however at 40% off who can resist.

A plane, a pick-up, two mini-figs, a crocodile and various other bits and pieces, the set consists of 263 pieces.

The plane is pretty standard building and does have some nice detail and we like the overall scale of it. 

We realise that the city vehicles are getting bigger and the trend seems to be towards 6 wide, the pick-up truck scale does seem a bit odd though when comparing to other sets in the theme, especially when considering there is still space for only one mini-fig in the cab;

The addition of the raft on the back of the vehicle is a great addition and adds to the sets play-ability. 

EMCO BRIX #8822 - HIGHWAY BREAKOUT

Found this in one of the local supermarkets and overall not to bad a purchase. It is our understanding that these bricks originate in Indonesia. A 3 in 1 set, with instructions included for all three options. It must however be noted that there are one or two oddities with the set.

Lets start with the mini-figs, they have square heads! One came completely assembled, the other in a separate poly bag needing to be put together. They are of moderate quality and have a certain amount of appeal at the end of the day.

With each build, there is a fair amount of extra pieces left over. It must be noted that one of the pieces was miss-formed and we had to scratch around to find a replacement. (It is important to note that no miss-formed pieces were found in the second box we opened.)

 The set is neatly packed in three large poly-bags and has a very clear and easy to follow instructions.

Build 1; fork-lift

Build 2; Transporter

Build 3; Main Build

We enjoyed each build, with each model providing some interesting details & features. Overall a reasonably good quality brick, compatible with leading brands and the set provides for useful pieces at a very reasonable price.

LEGO® CITY #60134 - FUN IN THE PARK: CITY PEOPLE PACK

If there is one thing my wife enjoys about Lego® it's the mini-figures and eagerly awaited the arrival of this set. It's a fantastic set and of course includes the all new baby and wheel chair. The set comprises 157 pieces / 15 mini-figs and makes for a nice representation of a happy, fun day in the park.

This is one of those sets that looks great in photo's an even better in hand. In our opinion this is a timeless set and could become an all time classic and really worth adding to your collection.

 One of the kid mini-figs has an alternate face.

 Two of the female figs have alternate faces.
