75582: Brick-Built Gru And Minions Set Review

Along with the three LEGO® playsets inspired by Illumination’s Despicable Me 4, the wave is rounded out with a brick-built character display featuring Gru and a group of his Minions. Now brick-built characters seemingly fall into two categories – amazing recreations or awful. Gru’s LEGO replication hasn’t fared too well so can his latest LEGO appearance change that? Here’s a closer look at the newly...

71046: LEGO Minifigures Space Series Review

This year is officially celebrating all things LEGO® Space. Across several different LEGO themes, space has featured heavily and that includes the upcoming new series of LEGO Minifigures.

It also wouldn’t be Christmas without a Battle Droid featuring in the annual LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar.

The latest trend in promotional LEGO® sets are collectables. After the Houses of the World sets from last year and the ‘Shops’ range, LEGO Insiders is currently offering mini recreations of the much-loved NINJAGO City sets. These modular builds began with the NINJAGO City set, released alongside The LEGO NINJAGO Movie and was so popular, that it spawned three additional sets.
