Top 10 Best LEGO Helicopters Sets
The humble helicopter has made a vast appearance across numerous LEGO® themes over the years. In fact they have almost been around for as long as the LEGO brick has. Since the 70s there has been well over 300 sets to feature a helicopter, some have used the term fairly loosely, but the aircraft has cropped up in some rather surprising themes, making it one of the most versatile vehicles and the perfect subject for a BricksFanz Top Ten...

As much as LEGO bricks inspired kids to become...
A Look At LEGO…. Racers
LEGO® Games have taken many forms over the years, but before TT Games took the reins and created the LEGO Games we know and love today, various other developers created a varied range of titles.

A Look At LEGO…. Lando Calrissian
He may be the galaxy’s smoothest smuggler but the legendary Lando Calrissian hasn’t managed to sweet talk his way into that many LEGO® Star Wars sets. It’s one of the main reasons that the original Cloud City set is so sought after. Lando made his Minifigure debut way back in 2003, in set 10123: Cloud City and over the ten years since, there have only been four variants of Lando, across six sets. This includes his...
Click & Snap: LEGO NINJAGO In The Wild
Whilst taking a look through the official LEGO® NINJAGO Facebook page, I stumbled upon these cool little LEGO beauty shoots for sets based on The LEGO NINJAGO Movie.

As you can see they offer shots of the various LEGO NINJAGO Movie sets in...
