10309: LEGO Botanical Collection Succulents Set Review
Joining the recently revealed LEGO® Botanical Collection Orchid is a group of different plants collectively known as Succulents. These are defined as small plants with thick fleshy leaves to help retain moisture. In nature this makes them thrive in dry conditions, in the home it makes them great for people who may not be considered green-fingered. But even if you can’t keep alive plants that need very little watering, the LEGO...
10311: Botanical Collection Orchid Set Review
LEGO® elements are great for building cars, spaceships and buildings. The wild and natural shapes created by Mother Nature aren’t necessarily the first thing you think of when you see LEGO bricks. But thanks to the Botanical Collection, plants can definitely be added to that list. The first few sets certainly affirmed that but this particular set really enforces it. The Orchid is a widespread and diverse family of beautifully...

10282: LEGO Adidas Originals Superstar Set Review
Last year the LEGO Group partnered with Adidas to create an extremely hard-to-find trainer as part of the ZX range. Since then the partnership has resulted in a number of clothing and footwear releases. The most recent of which were the LEGO Colours Trainers and the VIDIYO clothing range for kids. So far the partnership has been pretty one-sided, that is until now. The recently revealed LEGO Adidas Originals Superstar set is the...
LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Summer Sets Review Round-up
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing the newly released or upcoming Summer sets from the LEGO® Creator 3-in-1 range. I’m sure that like others, you’ll have seen the sets and certain ones will have pipped your interest a little more than others.

31120: LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Medieval Castle Review
For my final LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Summer set reviews, it’s time to head bad to medieval times and take a look at the Medieval Castle set. Not only is it the largest of the new sets, but it’s also one first new castles we’ve had to build in quite a while. Recently it was mentioned by a member of the LEGO Design Team that the Creator theme would be the home of sets that hark back to classic themes such as Pirates and...
