So, recently I decided to waste some of my money on a few Lego sets that I thought might be interesting. Judging from the first sentence, you can probably guess that it did not go as expected. I decided to spend almost 35 whole dollars on the 21106 Minecraft Nether and another 20 on the 6866 Wolverine Chopper Showdown. First off, the Nether was too small. There was about ten blocks of playing space for each of the four cubes that it comes with, and there was little room in each to sacrifice for the modular aspect. The playability just wasn't that good. Because it was divided up into modular parts, there was decreased interaction between the modular sections, making it feel like I had four little nether vignettes that took me about 40 minutes to build. Good for display, but not much else. Looking back, I wouldn't pay $35 for it. Hopefully minifig scale will be better. The Chopper pretty cool too, and the Deadpool minifigure was great  (although his swords fall out of the scabbard constantly). I also really like the motorcycle, and the helicopter was pretty snazzy too. However, It was smallish and their were a few random holes in the wall and the fuselage, one of which, if a figure gets stuck in requires disassembly of virtually the WHOLE chopper to get him out. What really made my day was the little holiday set that came with my order. It was an AWESOME little truck. So, if you are going to buy these, don't get minecraft, get the Chopper (if you want), but be sure to order them when you can get another mini-set with it.

I just noticed Lego was releasing a new theme to put more stuff on Cartoon Network. Ugg.
