LEGO® 42054 Claas Xerion 5000: My Honest Opinion

The LEGO Claas Xerion 500 is one of my all time favourite Technic Sets. Maybe it's because I personally love tractors or maybe it's because LEGO have done such a great job. Either way, there's no denying the beautiful looks and great function of this set. My personal favourite parts are the huge chunky tyres, the bright green colour scheme and the perfectly-designed stickers. This really is a great functioning and display piece alike.

There are quite a lot of things this set can do. This includes turning the cab, moving the crane and adjusting the weights; all of which stay true to the real life model. All of these work pretty well but if I were to be really picky, the switching between steering is slightly clunky. However, this is the height of nitpicking as it really doesn't detract at all. Also, there's not too much of a B-Model for this set; just a secondary attachment which may not be what some were expecting.

Overall, I think this is great value for money costing way less than 10p/c per piece. Both the looks and functions are amazing and the sheer size will blow you away. I could honestly say that this is one of the best technic sets in a long while and I couldn't recommend this enough to both technic fans and agricultural fans alike.

LEGO® 76060 Doctor Strange's Sanctum Santorum: My Honest Opinion

Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum is part of the Marvel Super Heroes line and was released to coincide with the upcoming release of the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. Although this set is only small with 358 pieces, I feel like it is definitely worth the £30 (or $30 in the US) as the level of detail in the given space is great. From the table to the bookshelves, from the window to the giant portal monster, I feel like LEGO have hit the nail on the head with this one. The extra effort they have spent on the little things has made a humongous difference.

However, with this being a vignette/facade, it doesn't look quite as flattering from behind but, when on a shelf, you wouldn't at all see this side and it would look a really great display piece. I feel like the few mini play features are okay but not much is really sacrificed to add these, well apart from the big black ball that is on the wall but this doesn't bother me too much. I love the minifigures, especially Doctor Strange as I feel his printing and head mould work really well together.

Overall, I think this makes a great small, cheap display piece with great effect. I dont feel like this is as much a play set but in terms of aesthetics this is spot on and there are a few play features to satisfy some of those needs as well. I also think, in terms of value for money, this is pretty good as it less than 10p/c per piece as well as 3 exclusive minifigures, all of which I must say are magnificent. I would recommend this to every LEGO fan, especially displayers and Marvel fans.

Changes

I sincerely apologise for not posting in so long but I'd like to talk about a few changes I'd be making. The problem I had before was describing every set before coming to my thoughts and feelings. To try and solve this, I have come to the decision that I will simply state my personal opinions on each set as well as leaving a link to the description if you so wish to look at these. I'm sorry for any inconveniences but I'll be back in the swing of things soon.
