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.

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...
