10331: Kingfisher Bird Set Review

LEGO® Icons has rapidly become an impressive showcase of the creativity of LEGO building. The theme has featured everything from highly detailed buildings to iconic cars. It’s also been the home to the wide-reaching LEGO Botanical Collection, which has used LEGO elements to recreate plants and flowers. With the Botanical Collection having the flora covered, this upcoming set branches out to the fauna. Ahead of its release on...

10320: Eldorado Fortress Set Review

Nostalgia is a powerful thing, it’s one of the reasons the LEGO® brand has such a large adult fan base. This is why any nods to past LEGO moments are so popular. In 2022, the LEGO Group celebrated 90 years of Play and those celebrations saw a number of past sets from bygone themes, reimagined for a new generation. Some sets sought inspiration from the past to create entirely new builds, whilst others were almost carbon copies....

10323: PAC-MAN Arcade Set Review

It was the year 1980 and an illness was spreading across the globe as people were hit with PAC-MAN Fever. Before Mario, Sonic or even Donkey Kong, a true icon of gaming was born and now it’s also inspired another epic gaming-themed LEGO® build. There are many stories surrounding the creation of NAMCO’s most iconic character. These include pizzas, an unfortunate swear word and even the humble LEGO minifigure. Now...

10316: The Lord Of The Rings: Rivendell Review Pt. 2

I’ve already taken a look at the first two sections of the new LEGO® The Lord of the Rings Rivendell set, along with its impressive line-up of minifigures. Now it’s time to take a look at the largest section of the set, the Great Hall of Rivendell. This is not only the biggest part of the build experience but also the most complex and the most important in terms of the connection to the moment the location is featured in...

10316: The Lord Of The Rings: Rivendell Review Pt. 1

It’s been over 20 years since Tolkien’s classic books were transformed into a trilogy of films, which are still considered cinematic masterpieces. The tales from Middle-earth followed the forming of a fellowship, who are tasked with returning the One Ring to Mordor and casting it into the fire from which it was forged. Those films led to a number of LEGO® sets inspired by the iconic trilogy of films. Even now, there is a...

10312: Jazz Club LEGO Modular Building Review

I’m quite the newbie when it comes to LEGO® Modulars. The first one I built was the Book Shop and I’ve been lucky enough to get them for review purposes ever since. I’ve always admired the modular buildings range and fully understand their appeal. The only reason I never delved into them was the lack of space to display them and the Pokémon nurtured urge to ‘catch them all’ would make me seek out past...

10307: LEGO ICONS Eiffel Tower Review

LEGO® sets have been getting increasingly bigger but most pale in comparison to LEGO ICONS Eiffel Tower. The 10,001-piece set stands at almost 5ft in height and is almost as impactful as the landmark which has inspired it. The Eiffel Tower’s piece count and scale make it one of the largest LEGO set yet, but is size everything? I’ve been building the set and it’s finally complete, ahead of its Black Friday release,...
