LEGO Modulars Assembling A New Obsession
Just before Christmas 2019, before the dark times, I was offered the LEGO® Creator Expert Modular Bookshop to review. This would be my first experience building a set from the much-loved annual series of modular buildings. As I explained back then, the only reason I have never partaken in a Modular Building was lack of space and I knew once I had one I’d want more. Now just over a year on I own six sets from the newly dubbed...
10276: The Colosseum LEGO Set Review
They say Rome wasn’t built in a day and if there was ever a LEGO® set to embody this notion then it’s this one. The Colosseum has stood in the centre of Rome for almost 2000 years. In its heyday, this impressive Roman amphitheatre could hold up to 80,000 and now it has the honour of being the largest LEGO set yet. If you thought the latest version of the UCS Millennium Falcon was big, you ain’t seen nothing. The LEGO...
10273: LEGO Haunted House Set Review
Earlier this year, a spooky new addition to the newly dubbed LEGO® Fairground Collection was released. The Haunted House also became the first set to fall under the 18+ range of sets. But this isn’t the first time LEGO bricks have built a spooky dwelling. Still much sought after, the Haunted House from the Monster Fighters theme is considered the ghoulish holy grail of sets. Now almost 10 years on, a new contender has entered...
LEGO 2020 Polybag Sets Review
Who doesn’t enjoy a polybag? These small sets give you a taster of what to expect from various LEGO® themes. This week Lidl UK started selling a selection of LEGO them. But some of these polybag sets are also available elsewhere. The NINJAGO set can also be found in Asda and one of the LEGO City sets and the Friends set is being given away in LEGO Stores. The cheapest way to get them all is at Lidl, but however to go about...
LEGO Modulars Once You Pop You Just Stop
Just before Christmas, I got to build my first ever LEGO® Creator Expert Modular set, as I reviewed this year’s latest addition to the popular line, the Bookshop. Before I was offered the Bookshop to review, I had planned a feature in which I built my first modular and I had chosen the Diner. The original plan was to do this ahead of the festive period but due to high season, the set only arrived a couple of weeks ago....
31105: LEGO Townhouse Toy Store Set Review
For the final of my LEGO® Creator 3-in-1 set reviews, I’m taking a look at the largest of the newly released sets. The Townhouse Toy Store is a small modular building and like past waves of Creator 3-in-1 it follows a similar style to other sets in the theme. As it’s a 3-in-1 set, there are three different builds to try, the lead model is the Townhouse Toy Store or you can rebuild it into a Cake Shop or Flower Shop. But...
31100: LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Sports Car Set Review
The LEGO® Creator 3-in-1 Sports Car set is another set from the newly released wave, which features a model similar those featured in past years. This 2020 version can be built into a trio of crafts including the lead model, which is a Sports Car, along with alternate builds of a Hot Rod and a Plane, described as an ‘Old Fashioned Plane’. But can another set, which is similar to previous ones be worth adding to your...
