Lego Ideas 21108 Ghostbusters Ecto-1

If you have children at home, it is evident that you will buy them a lot of toys. And if these children are your sisters and brothers, it is also evident that you will are to play with them. So, since I am familiar with all toys of these "little bandits" living in the house, I thought it is worth telling about them.
Surely, our parents want them to develop and buy different construction sets. To tell the truth, I wonder why all children are so big fans of Lego. When they just hear the name of this brand, they start shouting that they want it. Therefore, we have a lot of Lego sets at home.

Price
I would not call this brand a cheap one, and I think they take a lot of money for the brand name. However, my parents are sure that brand means quality and continue buying Lego for the kids. So, one of the sets we have is Lego Ghostbusters. It cost around £35.
Detailed Description of the figures
The set was devoted to the anniversary of the movie Ghostbusters. It consists of 508 details and 4 minifigures: Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Raymond "Ray" Stantz, Dr. Egon Spengler, and Winston Zeddemore. The figure as well as their vehicle look pretty nice since they are very detailed. Behind the back of each figure there is a block with a proton gun. Also, the heroes have portable radio transmitter and traps for otherworldly creatures. Minifigures can be put on the demonstration stand with a logo. You can see in the attached photo.
Ghostbusters' Car
I think, the main idea of a set is the car of ghost hunters. Its case is made of the details of white color. There are logos on doors and a luggage carrier. The details are realistic: there is a car number, a long antenna, a curved front grille, headlights, a siren, and brake fires. The roof of the car is equiped with the device for detection of te supernatural objects. The car has also a panel with a steering inside.
No Stickers:)
A big advantage of the set is that it does not contain stickers. All emblems and images are already depicted on the figures. Children may like stickers, but we perfectly know that they become obliterated with time and sometimes it takes a lot of nerves to glue them properly.
So, if you are the big fan of Ghostbusters and Lego, I strongly recommend you to purchase this set.
Thanks for reading my review)

Lego Star Wars 75102 Force Awakens Poe's X-Wing Fighter

"Star Wars-mania" reached our family as well) Recently my brother received Lego Star Wars 75102 for his birthday! How much happiness there was in the eyes of my little brother! And I suppose, you can only guess how happy other members of the family were))
Advantages
There are 717 details in this toy construction set! There are four characters: droid BB-8, Poe Dameron, the pilot of the fighter and the member of the crew.
The pilot's cabin is behind the glass. That makes the fighter plane look natural.
Also, the fighter has a special place for BB-8.
During the attack, the wings of the fighter move in both sides.
The engines are fixed behind.
The starship shoots "fire". In fact, these are the red sticks on the ends of the wings, you can aesily press them and they shoot! And, in my opinion, the shot is quite strong as for a toy)
Also there is a small repair module. There is a small ladder to use it when 'repairing' the ship, the tools are included to the set as well.
I think the toy is magnificent; it is always a pleasure to collect Lego with step-by-step instructions. 
The details were packaged on 6 bags to collect them step by step. It was made so because some small details can be confused.
Disadvantage
Even this toy has one disadvantage. The wings of the fighter are really big and during the play, they can easily fall off( Moreover, the engines are fixed not very reliably as well.
But I don't think it will reduce the delight from this toy! Especially if we are talking about children.
Thank you for your attention!)
