60326: LEGO City Picnic In The Park Set Review
LEGO® City is not all about rampant crime and arson, each year the evergreen theme does throw up a few surprises. It seems the LEGO City Design Team have hit upon a killer app so to speak – animals. After the wildlife-themed sets from last Summer, the latest sets introduce Squirrels and kittens. With one particular set, Picnic in the Park, being the perfect mix of price and new pieces. Oddly this little set is hard to come by in...
60324: LEGO City Mobile Crane Set Review
Each year as the new sets are slowly revealed, either official or not, I decide what I wouldn’t mind buying. Sometimes new parts or Minifigures play a role in my decisions. Then I see a retailer selling sets early and end up buying stuff I hadn’t planned to. I have to admit that’s the case with this set. However, after building it, I’m glad I picked it up as it’s a fun build and it has plenty of play...
LEGO City Stuntz Stunt Bikes Review
The LEGO® City theme has been home to various element innovations over the years. Be they inclusive parts such as the wheelchair or guide dog harness or action elements such as magnets or net guns, many others pass under the radar. The latest new addition to the LEGO range is a flywheel-powered bike, which forms the basis of the LEGO City Stuntz sub-theme. This features a number of larger playsets as well as a series of collectable...
60307: Wildlife Rescue Camp Set Review
For the final review of the LEGO® City Wildlife Rescue sets, it’s time to take a look at what’s technically the largest of the four boxed sets. I say technically as it’s the most expensive of the Wildlife Rescue sets but features fewer parts than the Wildlife Rescue Operation set. But what it lacks in overall parts, it more than makes up for with animal figures, play features and an appearance from another LEGO City...
60302: Wildlife Rescue Operation Set Review
After the two smaller Wildlife Rescue sets, the last two are far more interesting, with more to build, more Minifigures and most importantly more animals. One of the larger LEGO® City Wildlife Rescue sets is Wildlife Rescue Operation. What’s interesting about this set is the use of new road plates, as well as including a group of animals, some of which are only found in this set. But how do all these elements combine and do they...
60301: Wildlife Rescue Off-Roader Set Review
The biodiversity of LEGO® City allows its residents to explore all sorts of different places. Over the years the adventurous folk of LEGO City have been able to chill out in the snowy arctics, dive deep into the water depths of the ocean, trek through the wild jungles and blast off into space. For their latest expedition, it’s a trip to the dusty wilds of the savanna, with the fearless Wildlife Rescue Team. This new subtheme...
60300: Wildlife Rescue ATV LEGO City Set Review
The Summer LEGO® City Subtheme has taken a trip into the wild in search of all manner of new LEGO animals. In fact, the Wildlife Rescue sets introduce some great new creature elements so I’ve decided to take a look at all the sets starting with the smallest, Wildlife Rescue ATV. It may be the smaller of the Wildlife Rescue sets but it features two new animals and makes use of a newish action element. So here’s a closer...
