The Brick Rebel Kids Presents -Lego City 60080 Spaceport

Our build for mid-week comes from the Brick Rebel Kids, and this one was a tough one for Padawan AJ. Coming from a box that was almost as big as he was we present set 60080 Lego City Spaceport!

Here is an impression from Padawan AJ:

"Well I really like how the Shuttle stands on the cool shuttle launcher thing. Of all the things about the spaceport that I like, I like the space shuttle itself the most. For my age it was a bit tough to build and my Dad helped me a bit. I really do love all of the set though!

I really like the two astronauts that came with it, especially the helmets. I am hoping to see a giant version of my shuttle because we are going to Lego Land in San Diego! This is definitely not for younger kids as the build wasn't something I could not do completely on my own. "

Here is the blurb on the set from Lego.com:

Launch the awesome shuttle from LEGO City Spaceport!

It’s launch day at the LEGO® City Spaceport. Load the satellite into the space shuttle and use the powerful, mobile launchpad to slowly maneuver it to the launch site. Then deliver the astronauts with the service vehicle and get strapped in as countdown commences, 3… 2… 1… liftoff! Feel the power as the main engines ignite and send the shuttle hurtling into space. Eject the external fuel tank and rocket boosters and then open the cargo bay doors ready to launch the satellite! It’s another successful mission for the LEGO City Spaceport!

The Brick Rebels Presents -Lego Star Wars 75136 Droid Escape Pod

Our next Brick Rebels speed build is LIVE and our first Star Wars set in a while! We introduce to you set 75136 Lego Star Wars Droid Escape Pod. A great set from A New Hope allowing people to setup the iconic scene where C-3PO and R2-D2 crash land on Tatooine.

Here is an impression from Brickmaster Robeyone:

"This set is extremely cool, and a great set for any fan of either Lego Star Wars or Star Wars in general. The set is a very straight forward build, with nothing too challenging. However afterwards it allows for some great little setups to help depict this iconic scene from the original Star Wars. There are some liberties with this set, which I found strange though, like the inclusion of actual Death Star plans that are separate of R2-D2. All that aside, I give it four out of five bricks for the design and the minifigures though. "

Here is the blurb on the set from Lego.com:

Help the droids escape with the Death Star plans!

C-3PO and R2-D2 are in danger and they need your help to escape! Load them into the Droid Escape Pod, close the hatches and launch to safety. After landing on the nearest planet, can you keep them safe from the Jawas with their ion blasters? That's for you to decide.
