31211: The Fauna Collection – Macaw Parrots Review

The LEGO® Art theme continues to provide unusual sets which offer something different to other LEGO sets. It’s also a theme which draws the attention of those who may not be LEGO fans. The LEGO Art sets began as simple mosaic-style displayable images but have evolved to create textured pieces of art inspired by pop culture. When this set was first rumoured, I expected it to be a cross between the Botanical Collection and the Van...

31209: The Amazing Spider-Man Art Review

The LEGO Group’s output of licensed themes has rapidly grown just as the focus on offering sets for older builders has. There’s now a golden trio of Disney themes which offer a wide range of products from simple DUPLO sets to intricate large-scale display pieces. Marvel has become a great source of inspiration for displayable builds and the set I’m taking an early look at today is one of the biggest so far....

31200: Star Wars The Sith LEGO ART Review

With a partnership spanning over 20 years, it was inevitable that Star Wars would inspire one of the new LEGO® ART sets. But with so many iconic characters to recreate as buildable art, it would be the Darkside which prevailed. Three generations of movies have each had their own big bad. From the original trilogy, it was the Dark Lord of the Sith – Darth Vader. From the prequels, it would be the menacing Sith Apprentice –...

LEGO ART Pop Culture Icons Sets Review

The LEGO® ART sets were introduced a couple of months ago and form part of the new 18+ range of sets, which are solely aimed at adult LEGO fans or AFOLs. However, LEGO ART sets have an appeal beyond the average LEGO fan. As well as to sets based on movie licenses, there are two sets which are inspired by pop culture icons. One is a completely new subject matter for LEGO, in the form of Andy Warhol’s famous Marilyn Monroe popart...

31199: Marvel Studios Iron Man LEGO Art Review

LEGO® Art is an interesting new theme, introduced earlier this month. It’s also part of the new 18+ range of sets, which are solely aimed at adult LEGO fans or AFOLs. However, LEGO Art has an appeal beyond the average LEGO fan. This is partly due to the subject matter of each set and the process of building them, which is unlike the average build. They also offer an addition of an accompanying ‘soundtrack’ which is...
