Set V Source: LEGO Marvel Shang-Chi
It’s a well-known fact that some LEGO® sets based on various movies, sometimes take a few liberties with the source material. This can be for various reasons, such as working from concept art, early cuts of films or to deflect spoilers.

Click & Snap: LEGO Animals Of Wildlife Rescue
When I was younger, I used to place those cheap animals they sell in zoo gift shops, in the garden and took pictures of them. Once the film was taken to the chemist and had been developed, I could marvel at my work. One image of a toy elephant even fooled a couple of people who thought it was a real elephant.

LEGO Sets – It’s All In The Name
Over the weekend some of the new LEGO® Star Wars were officially revealed and many have noticed the odd name on Boba Fett’s iconic ship. Instead of being dubbed Slave I, it carries the snappy name of Boba Fett’s Starship. It appears the reason for this is solely down to Disney, who have asked the LEGO Group and a number of other merchandise partners to drop the Slave name from products featuring the Bounty Hunter’s...
