A Look At LEGO… Technic Ultimate Supercars
With the first teaser for the next LEGO® Technic Ultimate Car dropping earlier this week, it’s an ideal time to reflect on the past four sets in the series. Technic has always offered advanced building techniques to create complex vehicles or constructions. But those advanced build offerings were elevated in 2016, with the release of what would become the first of the LEGO Technic Ultimate Car Series sets. These highly detailed...
A Look At LEGO… Space Aliens
This year has seen multiple sets across several themes celebrate space, dubbing 2024 the Year of LEGO® Space. The LEGO Group has a long history with space, thanks to the Apollo Moon Mission. Space exploration inspired one of the earliest LEGO themes. But the recent space-based endeavours haven’t sought to reimagine or remake classic space sets, instead, they each offer a series of space-inspired builds. Apart from the common...
A Look At LEGO… Wolverine
Following the surprisingly popular look at Deadpool’s LEGO® history, it’s only fitting that his movie buddy Wolverine also becomes the subject of his own LEGO lookback. Just like Wade Wilson, Logan’s LEGO journey began in 2012 as part of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set, 6866: Wolverine’s Chopper Showdown. He was joined by the Merc with a Mouth and metal manipulator Magneto. A couple of years later, Wolverine...

As it’s February 14th, it’s the perfect time to look at how the LEGO Group celebrated the day of love. Some earlier love-filled seasonal sets, such as a buildable heart, Valentine’s Day card and gift box, were quite basic. these sorts of sets inhabited polybags and were often promotional sets. For a few years,...

The Merc with a Mouth isn’t exactly kid-friendly but he’s made some notable appearances in LEGO-from. The first was way back in 2012 when the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes theme was first introduced. Deadpool...
A Look At LEGO… Racers
With the imminent reveal of a brand new LEGO® racing game from 2K on the way this week, I thought I’d take another look back at the much-loved original LEGO racing game released back in 1999. LEGO Racers was a fairly primitive-looking, racing adventure by today’s standards and it also introduce the world to driver extraordinaire and Master Builder Rocket Racer. So let’s start those engines and take A Look At...
A Look At LEGO… Buildable Minifigures
The LEGO® Minifigure is one of the most recognisable icons of the LEGO Group. Introduced in 1978, the minifigure has become an important part of the LEGO ecosystem, helping to inject life into LEGO sets and more recently, allowing people to see themselves on the toys they play with or collect. There are many special rules surrounding the minifigure, this is partly to help them stay protected by various trademarks. But that...
