A Look At LEGO… Guardians Of The Galaxy
Beyond the wonderful world of LEGO® building, I’m partial to a cheeky bit of gaming. Since Saturday I’ve been enjoying the adventures of the Guardians of the Galaxy, in their first video game from Square Enix.

So as I’m all...
A Look At LEGO… At The Olympics
As Japan finally welcomes the 2020 Olympics, it’s the obvious occasion to take A Look At LEGO®… Olympics.

Inside The LEGO Vault & Idea House Revisited
As I checked my phone this morning, a ‘memory’ flashed up to tell me it was four years ago to this very day I was in Billund, Denmark wandering around the fabled LEGO® Idea House vault. I shared this on Twitter, which seemed to be popular so I’ve gone through the pictures I took of my visit and added them to previous articles detailing my time in the LEGO Idea House and its special vault. You can check them both out...
