Review: Lego Legends of Chima ‘Market Day’

We’ve got a Chi competition on the way with the prize being the golden Chi. Evidently the competition is pretty big and everyones in town selling shit. Unfortunately, some steals Laval’s ride. He’s gotta find his speedor quick because prelims are already ongoing and so if Laval doesn’t find it he’s screwed. He soon finds out that the Ravens have taken it, but they keep trying to haggle Laval on price.Instead of fighting for it back, so Eris finds a box and decides to trade the Ravens for the speedor. Eventually, the Lions find out that the golden Chi has been replaced by a rock all thanks to those same Ravens and they have to chase on after them.

Laval chases after the Ravens and ends up crashing their ummm ship? After Laval makes a few demands which includes getting his speedor fixed and his chi back, we learn the Ravens were hired by Cragger to steal the chi as opposed to the Crocs entering in the race fair and square. A fight almost ensues but the Crocs let Laval go.

The race commences and the Wolves come out the victor as a result of a back door deal. The Lions don’t seem to mind though, so *kanye shrug.

So, I guess this week wasn’t all too bad. I’m rather impressed with the CG holograms and vehicle effects, but the voice talent is pretty much lacking and the plots launch a bunch of threads that go nowhere.
