LEGO Easter Egg 40371 Review

Posted: March 17, 2020 by Nocturnelle9

Spring is in the air so what better time than now to review the new, limited edition LEGO Easter egg! I’ve been having so much fun with this cute and…

The wait is over, time to set sail and discover ne The wait is over, time to set sail and discover new things! It’s finally time. 
@joschka.vanderlucht here and together with @yc_solo i would like to,share my first impressions of the Creator 3-in-1 31132 Viking ship with you. It will be released on June 1, 2022. 

The set contains four Viking figures. This uses three very nice new torsos and one color, non-printed, legs.
The helmets are decorated with two horns each.

My absolute favorite character is one of the woman! She has an beautifull torso and a new, blond hair element with a wing crown in silver.

MAIN MODEL
The main model of the set is the large Viking ship with the Midgard Serpent. The basic design is based on the old 7018 Viking ship from 2005.

In addition, this model includes a turquoise sea snake. This has a movable head and tail, but the middle part is rigid.

SECOND MODEL
The second model is a large wolf originating from the Nordic mythology. In addition, there is a fir tree with a small campfire and a hiding place for treasure.
The tree is built relatively simple and the campfire place is also very sparse, but the look is quite successful.

THIRD MODEL
The last model is a small house, which has a main room with a fireplace and a throne.
On the outside is a small forge with an implied stream.

My personal highlight in this model is a small red baby dragon.

All in all I like the ship very much and give this set a clear 10/10!

The sets were generously provided by @lego for taking pictures on @brickcentral, but the opinions are my own.

Hello! @minifig_lifescenes here for another featur Hello! @minifig_lifescenes here for another feature. Today with the excellent work of @roberto.borba.jr

We have here a creative retelling of "The Last Supper" (Il Cenacolo), one of Leonardo Da Vinci's best known works of art, reproduced here with a nice dash of humor with the characters of Lord of the Rings. The parallelism was very creative, really a great insight.🥖🍷

The lighting also draws a lot of attention. The darker background and direct light on the characters created an atmosphere that matched the scene.

Scenes like these also remind us of how beautiful the Lord of the Rings-themed sets were. The constructions were great and the minifigures extremely neat. Missed you! 🧝‍♀️🧝‍♂️

Thank you so much @roberto.borba.jr for sharing with us this beautiful and creative retelling of Da Vinci

Hello! It's @the_aphol here and it's time to direc Hello!
It's @the_aphol here and it's time to direct the spotlight toward our community members! Today we will get to know better @taskera_photography!

"My name is Alicia, I'm from Spain and I work as an engineer in Germany. 

I have always been interested in anything related to arts and crafts. I loved collecting and building Lego and I have been learning photography for a few years. But it wasn't until the pandemic forced me to stay home that I did not really put the two together.

I have always loved taking pictures of nature, landscapes and animals, and travel in general. 
I also love movies and series, so I like to recreate some scenes as well they way I see them.

I currently shoot with a Canon RP and a Canon 24-105 lens. I use panel lights, tiny LEDs and I'm starting to learn how to use a flash. 

My set-up is usually indoors, a little IKEA table with a blue paper behind as the sky (or orange for sunset, or stars for night time). 
I use a lot of natural materials to build mini dioramas, rocks, dirt and sticks, sand and moss, literally things I find on the floor. 
I like to make my own dioramas to pretend I'm actually outdoors. But I'm also starting to build my own mocs, mostly of rooms, where I can play with the position of windows and lights. 

For me, taking pictures of Lego has been a wonderful escape and a perfect creative outlet. The community in this hobby is just magnificent, full of people always happy to teach and share their knowledge. 
I have definitely grown as an artist thanks to them! 

I'm also aware that my journey is not finished and I will keep trying to learn and experiment as much as possible, and try to get better and have fun every day."

Thank you @taskera_photography for accepting our invitation and let the community knows you better!

Hello everybody! @minifig_lifescenes here for anot Hello everybody! @minifig_lifescenes here for another feature. Today with @legoanywhere

I loved these little musicians in the garden! The colors match very well in this scene. The green bodies with the leaves; the yellow heads with the flowers and the instruments with the hats and branchs. Still, there is a soft bokeh in the reflection of the water on the leaves, giving a harmonious glow to the whole. 

I feel that these little ones really live in a magical world under the leaves and branches of the plants, singing and dancing the purity of living in harmony with nature.💚💛🤎

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful work with us @legoanywhere
