21331: LEGO Ideas Sonic The Hedgehog Set Review
Back in the ’80s gaming was a newly emerging pastime, Atari and Nintendo consoles were taking living rooms by storm whilst SEGA commanded the arcades. But by the ’90s SEGA wanted a bigger slice of the home console market and they needed something to face off against the might of Mario. That something was actually someone and in 1991 Sonic the Hedgehog was born. The blue blur became a gaming icon, starring in a number of...
10290: Pickup Truck LEGO Set Review
Creator Expert was the home to a number of large-scale vehicles, it brought us licensed delights including the VW Camper, Ferrari F40, Aston Martin DB5 and the VW Beetle. Although the Creator Expert branding is no more, the large-scale vehicles have continued and one of the first to be released as part of the ‘LEGO for Adults’ range is the Pickup Truck. This was quietly revealed with zero fanfare earlier this year before...
10297: Boutique Hotel Modular Building Set Review
Long before there were the LEGO® For Adult sets, the long-running and much-loved LEGO Modular buildings were the only sets directly aimed towards older builders. Their creation was a direct result of the AFOL community’s involvement as well as a passion project for a small number of LEGO Designers. Now 15 years on, the theme has been renamed the Modular Building Collection and is one of the most-anticipated LEGO releases of the...
75313: Imperial AT-AT Set Review
As a kid of the 80s, I was born towards the tail end of the original Star Wars trilogy. Despite two films being released before I was born, my toy collection as a kid was dominated by Star Wars. I never had the Palitoy Millennium Falcon or that odd cardboard Death Star but I did have an AT-AT. Fueled by the moment these huge walking things appeared on the icy world of Hoth, that toy was my pride and joy. A few years ago I added the...
10293: LEGO Winter Village Santa’s Visit Set Review
Christmas comes but once a year, and when it comes it brings good cheer. But it’s not just cheer the festive period bestows upon us, it’s also a time to expand the Winter Village with a brand new set. This year’s offering is a little more traditional and grounded in reality, with a festive-tinged family home and a visit from Santa Claus. Former fan designer Chris McVeigh is once again behind the latest addition to...
21328: Seinfeld LEGO Ideas Set Review
LEGO® Ideas has become a great way for fans of various TV shows to share their fandom via the medium of the brick. So far there have been Ideas sets based on Adventure Time, FRIENDS and Big Bang Theory. The latest LEGO Ideas set shared a similar style to the latter two of those sets. Although I must admit that the subject of this latest set is a little odd. Seinfeld first hit screens in 1989, and throughout the 90s enjoyed popularity...
75309: Republic Gunship UCS Set Review
Back in 2020, the LEGO® Star Wars Design Team used the LEGO Ideas platform to run a Fan Vote. The question asked was simple, which of three pre-selected Star Wars ships would fans like to see become a future Ultimate Collectors Series set? The choices included three much-requested ships – a TIE Bomber, a Republic Dropship and a Nebulon B Medical Frigate. Over 53,000 people voted and the result fell in favour of the Republic...
