Thanks for the review, Rhalius. Could you just please check the color of the LED inside the torches? Yours seem to be yellow/orange. Mine are red unfortunately. Thx! Ken

Love the reviews. The dragon is gorgeous and the dwarves too. Great pictures.

The red "gems" are not new. Maybe they were in those space sets? Those silly blinky winkies, weren't they fed those?

We have a set 5151 Future Planet where they are used as fuel.

For me they are red too, if you look closely you can see a red glow at the underside of the torches. Its difficult to photograph it properly though.. I tried doing it in the dark but it looked weird.

Especially lights really need to be seen in person to get a very clear idea about how it looks.

Looks like Sunflower solved the mistery. Looks like that dwarf will have to look out for space men trying to steal his fairy crystals.

Thanks for the review Rhalius!

Great review of some nice sets. We will get them all even with the lame hallow feet and the dragon head. Not a huge problem.

The red Jems were in the future planet and the yellow jem was in the older space theme and many explorer themes. They are fought over in this play room so more will be welcomed.

Great review, thank you for the pictures. I must admit, the trolls and dwarves are slowly growing on me. Usually, I've stayed away from fantasy themes, although it looks as though these new sets can be integrated into any Medieval diorama.

I've not been one for the fantasy stuff much either though some nice things can be done with it.

I do like classic fantasy stuff such as dwarves, wizards, trolls, dragons and such, and this fits in with that. It has that classic look. Might change the dwarves a bit though to suit my tastes.. make them more the archtypical dwarves.

The treasure stuff was very welcome too, already put it to use for my submission in the photo contest.

There's so much of it in ONE set, right? 

[Rhalius]

There is yes, and I really like treasure. I'd love to have a huge hoard someday. In total I might have enough gold pieces to fill two chests with.

It really ticks me off that in most sets with treasure, they only give one set of coins while the box depicts chests overflowing with gold. Sure I can understand it not being that much but one set barely covers the bottom.

But here, you get enough to fill up the large and small chests and you need to work a bit to close them up. That's how I like to see it. Usually you need to buy four sets with a treasure chest to fill up a single one of those four chests.
