21334: LEGO Ideas Jazz Quartet Set Review
Since its inception in 2011, LEGO® Ideas or CUUSOO as it was known back then has seen over 40 different sets released, inspired by a number of different subjects. Every single one was originally created by a LEGO fan before being voted into production by fellow LEGO fans and the LEGO Review Board. In recent years, some sets have been decided upon in a slightly different way and the set I’m taking a look at today was the result...
21333: Vincent Van Gogh’s The Starry Night Set Review
The extent of interests and subjects which inspire LEGO® products is immense. So much so that it’s expanded far beyond the usual entertainment brands to include clothing, sport and music. Now art can be added to that list with the latest addition to the LEGO Ideas range. Inspired by the original fan design created by Truman Cheng, the 44th Ideas set recreates the famous painting of Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh. The Starry Night...
10302: LEGO Optimus Prime Set Review
Picture the scene – it’s Saturday morning, there’s no school and you are just tucking into a delicious bowl of sugary cereal. You’re still in your pyjamas and you’re ready to be transported to one of many animated worlds with the must-watch block of Saturday Morning Cartoons. Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, Biker Mice from Mars, Gummi Bears and Captain Planet were some of my favourites but there was one...
76989: Horizon Forbidden West Tallneck Set Review
Gamers were introduced to the world of Horizon back in 2017. Developed by Guerrilla Games and released on PlayStation 4, Horizon Zero Dawn followed Aloy as she explored an Earth reclaimed by nature but inhabited by advanced animal-like machines. The adventures continue in the recently released sequel, Horizon Forbidden West. Now the game has inspired the first-ever PlayStation-inspired LEGO® set. As a fan of the game, I’ve been...
75341: Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder Set Review
The X-34 Landspeeder may not have helped the rebellion take down the Death Star-like an X-wing or enforce Imperial might like the TIE Fighter or even complete the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs like the Millenium Falcon. But if you need to get some power converters, boy-oh-boy are you in luck. It’s fair to say the Landspeeder isn’t the most exciting craft to be found in the Star Wars universe but it’s still quite...
40531: Lars Family Homestead Kitchen GWP Review
As long as the LEGO Group has been celebrating Star Wars Day, they have also been creating unique promotional sets. As May the 4th nears, this year’s Star Wars Day LEGO® GWP will mark a departure from the recent run of mini dioramas and see a return of unusual Minifigure characters. As previously revealed the 2022 Star Wars Day set is the Lars Family Homestead Kitchen and is inspired by A New Hope. It also indirectly ties into...
10309: LEGO Botanical Collection Succulents Set Review
Joining the recently revealed LEGO® Botanical Collection Orchid is a group of different plants collectively known as Succulents. These are defined as small plants with thick fleshy leaves to help retain moisture. In nature this makes them thrive in dry conditions, in the home it makes them great for people who may not be considered green-fingered. But even if you can’t keep alive plants that need very little watering, the LEGO...
