10330: McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna Set Review
Back in September, the LEGO Group announced a new partnership with Formula 1. Throughout 2025, there will be multiple F1 sets released across numerous themes. But you haven’t got to wait until the new year for a fix of LEGO® F1. A recent LEGO Icons vehicle celebrated to true racing icon and offered a taste of things to some. Ayrton Senna dominated the racing scene between 1984 and his death in the mid-90s. His most successful...
10391: Over the Moon with Pharrell Williams Set Review
Pharrell Williams’ Piece By Piece finally arrives in UK cinemas today, albeit on a limited release. Nevertheless, it’s the ideal time to take a brief look at the accompanying LEGO® set. The Over the Moon with Pharrell Williams set is inspired by the new film which recounts the music producer’s life story through a LEGO lens. Piece By Piece is animated in the style of previous LEGO movies but that’s where the...
76296: New Captain America Figure Review
Buildable LEGO® figures aren’t a new concept, it’s been used to create bigger characters for many years. The most recent crop of Construction Figures began in 2022 with Iron Man and soon expanded to include several other Marvel characters. The format’s been revisited for Marvel Studios’ upcoming film, Captain America: Brave New World. This time it’s the turn of Sam Wilson’s Captain America. After...

Over the last few years LEGO Ideas has transformed several smaller fan designs into promotional builds. The latest of those fan designs to become a GWP set is the ‘Books Are My Passion’ set, which will be available next week. Here’s an early...
21353: The Botanical Garden Set Review
LEGO® Ideas has become one of my favourite themes. The variety of sets it offers is pretty impressive and that’s perfectly showcased over the last few LEGO Ideas sets. Hot on the heels of sets inspired by classic Disney films and the festively spooky The Nightmare Before Christmas is a Victorian-style ‘hothouse’ Botanical Garden. I must admit when it was revealed that the fan design which inspired this set had been...
71437: The Bowser Express Train Set Review
It’s taken far longer than it should, but I’ve finally finished off the Summer set reviews with this Super Mario set. It’s one of three larger sets released alongside a trio of new ‘Starter Sets’ which contain LEGO® Mario, Luigi and Peach interactive figures. Those characters have inspired the larger of the most recent expansion sets including Luigi’s haunted mansion and Peach’s Castle, but...
