LEGO Ideas 21319 Friends Central Perk Building Kit Review - Can you bring back the atmosphere of old times?


I'm not the biggest friends fanatic in the world, however, I find the kit interesting. The box also has a unique appearance and has the original friends logo on top, as was the case in the series. The set is located in the middle, and at the bottom of the box the minifigures are displayed in a wide band. On the other side you can see the game features, but there's not really much in it, because it's less designed for gaming, more for adult fans. 


Background information about the series at the beginning of the assembly guide, and a separate description of each character. According to the original idea of the show's creators, the main love affair was not between Rachel and Ross, but between Monica and Joey. As a result, many references/flashbacks to what happened before the series. The theme song for the series from I'll Be There for You from The Rembrands became a huge hit after a Nashville presenter cut a three-minute song from the 45-second theme song, and played it several times on the radio. Under pressure from the band's record label, has reached number 17 on the Us Billboard magazine chart.

The kit is 1070 pieces, does not contain more complex elements so it takes about 2-3 hours to complete. A total of 7 minfigures arrive on set including 6 pieces of the main characters (Rachel, Ross, Joey, Phoebe, Monica, Chandler) and bartender Günther. The main attraction itself is the central perk, the café that the creator very well done with lots of details. On the left price table with the names of drinks, the wall consists of brown brick elements and plain Lego elements. 

Inside the bar there is a coffee machine, a counter, a cash register, and a small cup cake. What I first noticed was the service arrow on top, which shows that there's service there. In front of the bar, there is a removable carpeted area, which is an interesting and practical solution. The front door can be opened, and in front of him is the stage where Phoebe usually performs to sing. 



At  the front is the iconic sofa with a table over it with a newspaper that reads "LEGO news the greatest hero ever!". Next to it are two chairs and an armchair where we can comfortably plant the figures, where the characters practically lived their daily lives in 60-70% of the series. From the outside, we get a small pavement detail and a windowed section with the inscription central perk. I would definitely recommend it to those who love the show because humour can be a sweet nostalgia factor for them.

LEGO Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Kylo Ren’s Shuttle Review

Kylo Ren's space shuttle is one of the most beautiful pieces in the new trilogy due to its unique and defining design. A similar set was released in 2015, with the difference that the exterior of the structure was painted grey, which absolutely didn't fit the movie, but this current "refurbished" version is absolutely fine, fits the original. Kylo Ren's space shuttle is an Upsilon-class command ship, used by Kylo Ren, who was leader of the Ren Knights and member of the First Order about 30 years after the Battle of Endor. The ship is one of the atmospheric invaders and troop carriers. The width of the ship (in open wing position) is 37.2 meters which two SJFS-200 ion engines have flown into the air. In the cockpit, five officers were able to stay at the same time and carry 10 passengers.  A total of 6 minifigures are supplied with this set, Kylo Ren is the supreme leader, in a helmet, holding the red lightsaber, General Hux, two stormtroopers a...

LEGO Architecture Great Wall of China (21041) Review

  It seems almost impossible to bring one of the largest architectural structures in the world to existence using just 550 small plastic blocks.  When LEGO Architecture Great Wall of China 21041 was announced in April 2018, its first idea was not favorable. It looked unusual to try to capture something so big and expansive in a LEGO set, and it appears to fail in that attempt. However, the build includes some good angling techniques–both the curving and downward sloping sections of the wall. And the restriction of building it primarily in only two colors gives a classic look to the site.  The Great Wall of China sounded singular is a large variety of sections of wall which were built over 2,000 years by many different Dynasties. In the third century BC, after conquering the neighboring kingdoms Qin Shi Huang became the first emperor of China. He connected the present walls and added a new one. The wall also includes thousands of watchtowers, two of which are represented i...
