10299: Santiago Bernabéu Stadium Set Review
The expansion of LEGO® sets based on interests beyond the usual core themes and movie franchises has really blown up since the introduction of LEGO for Adults. A great example of this is the sport-based football stadium.

10298: LEGO Vespa 125 Set Review
Some pretty iconic vehicles have been transformed into LEGO® sets thanks to the Creator Expert and now the LEGO® for Adults theme. Italy has been a great source of inspiration with Ferrari and Fiat both having their wares recreated in brick form. But for the latest vehicle, two wheels have been dropped in favour of a nippy little number, which wouldn’t look out of place weaving through the sun-dappled Italian streets. The Vespa...

75343: Dark Trooper Helmet Set Review
As well as offering the first open-faced helmet in the LEGO® Star Wars Helmet Collection, the latest wave of sets also tackles its first droid. The Dark Troopers were introduced during the second season of The Mandalorian. But they were born in Star Wars Legends, the catchall name for past Star Wars stories no longer considered part of the canon storyline. In Legends, they were introduced in the video game Dark Forces, where the Dark...
75328: The Mandalorian Helmet Set Review
From the moment the Mandalorian stepped onto the screen it was inevitable his helmet would one day join the LEGO® Star Wars Helmet Collection. The stoic bounty hunter is famed for keeping his face mostly covered as is the way for the Mandalorians. But his introduction to a galaxy far, far away was preceded by Boba Fett’s debut in the Empire Strikes Back. There’s a similarity to all the Mandalorian helmets, which could have...

The LEGO® Star Wars Helmet Collection has already transformed a number of iconic ‘lids’ into displayable sets. However, they have largely focused on the scum and villainy of a galaxy far, far away. But the latest wave of helmets spread beyond the Dark Side transforming an X-wing helmet, The Mandalorian’s helmet and the imposing head of a Dark Trooper into sets. The first of these new sets I’ll be taking a...
