Review 70001 Crawley's Claw Ripper
Cardinal Brick posted a topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
First review in a while so I thought I’d bring you some of the new Legend of Chima sets to take a look at so let’s start with the second smallest set. Set Name: Crawley's Claw Ripper Set Number: 70001 Number of Pieces: 139 Figures:2 Released: 2013 List Price: £12.99 70001 Peeron.com 70001 Bricklink Catalog Lets us begin with the box. Action show with a lot of blur, not my photography! The back shows just about everything you can do with the set. Now for what’s inside. Not really any surprises apart from two instruction booklets. Personally I’m not sure why you would need two instruction booklets with a set this small. However there are a lot more adverts in these than usual. Some interesting parts to take a look at, the new sword is rather oversized and takes a lightsaber blade inside. I also quite like the inverted rocket engine in trans-blue. Minifugres Let be honest I doubt you’re going to buy this set for the model, though it is good (we’re getting to it), you’re buying this set for the figures so let’s take a look at those now. In this set we get two figures the Crocodile Crawley and the Lion Leonidas (insert SPARTA joke here!) Both figures are really beautiful and very well made so lets take a look. The Models The models is a nice vechical, which as with all the Chima vechicals looks like the animals that own them can you guess who owns this? The end of instruction book 1. I thought this was the head as a built it but it turns it’s the whole vehicle body. I didn’t notice earlier but there were some stickers in the box, they’d ended up inside the second instruction booklet. They go on top of the crocs head which is there. Once the head is mounted on the front it looks like this and rather croc like. Time to add the wheels and tracks and the crock vehicle is completed. Time for Crawley to get into the driving seat. When the vehicle’s in motion the tracks move forward with the ripping blades come out near the front. Complete set The Rating System Figures: 10/10 (Only 2 figures but both of them are exquisite and some of the best Lego have ever made.) Parts 9/10 (Some interesting new parts especially the head and the new colour) Fun Fun Fun 7/10 (Quite a bit to do) Design 9/10 (An excellent design) Price 8/10 (The price seems a tad high, too me but Lego keeps increasing in price.) Grand Total 43/50 (A good sets but a way from greatness) Conclusions So this is the first Legends of Chima set I’ve got my hands on and I’ve slightly mixed feelings about it. I think the figures are really very impressive and that the model is quite impressive. However I do have some concern about the prices, which seems higher than it should be as part of a general trend of ever increasing Lego prices. However I still think the set is well worth getting you get to excellent figures and a fun model. So What do you think? Ps 70003 review coming up shortly!
