Dots Series 3

I have been underwhelmed by the Dots lines, but especially in the bands (aka bracelets).

First off, I know many have already states this, but we need more basic colors. Seriously, boys like to wear these too. Besides that, not all girls feel the need to have everything in pinks and pastels.

In series three we see these same issues once again. The only reason I even picked up a pack and set of the new bands were for the special pieces. But I think LEGO knows that’s what is selling these.

The double molded stars and diamonds are pretty neat. And the transparent piece goes all the way through so they could potentially be back lit.

I just wish they had done these in reverse. Pink and purple round diamonds and opal and dark blue square stars. I would find night time stars so much more valuable than these dark pink ones.

I also bought a pack with the new bands. This round they are a single line of studs and you get two of two different colors in the packs.

LEGO Polybag Train Set #30575

I have been enjoying some of the recent LEGO polybags.

I picked up this little train awhile ago, but saw that it is currently in Target stores again at checkout.

Lots of dark blue parts for your consideration.

It is of course a quick little build, but a great looking little engine.

LEGO Police Helicopter Polybag 30367

Picked up this little set the other day. While I feel LEGO has done the helicopter and car sets to death, this isn’t a bad little set.

Only 39 parts but for the most part they are just standard pieces to make up the helicopter. Unlike those larger sets with all the specialized bits.

The minifure is pretty nice. Although I don’t see him being much use outside a police force.

The 1×2 cheese slope is printed which is always nice. The cockpit/windshield also makes a nice little waterfall.

I can see this little set patrolling above any LEGO city. At only $4 worth grabbing it.
