31322: LEGO Ideas The Globe Set Review
The LEGO® Ideas theme reaches an important milestone as it gets ready to welcome its 40th set. Across the past 39 sets, LEGO Ideas has gone from a series of predictable sets, limited by pricing and piece count to wildcard which could literally turn any idea into the next must-have LEGO set. This has certainly been the case with such sets as The Maze, Ship in a Bottle and the Typewriter. But the set I’m taking a closer look at...
21331: LEGO Ideas Sonic The Hedgehog Set Review
Back in the ’80s gaming was a newly emerging pastime, Atari and Nintendo consoles were taking living rooms by storm whilst SEGA commanded the arcades. But by the ’90s SEGA wanted a bigger slice of the home console market and they needed something to face off against the might of Mario. That something was actually someone and in 1991 Sonic the Hedgehog was born. The blue blur became a gaming icon, starring in a number of...
20330: Home Alone LEGO Ideas Set Review
We all have those films, we love and can happily watch numerous times. For me that applies to Home Alone. It came out at a time when I was around the same age as the mischievous Kevin McCalister. I adore the film and its sequel so much, I even got (and still have) a TalkBoy for Christmas one year. So I was super excited to see a fan-created project hit LEGO Ideas and even more delighted when it was chosen to become a future LEGO set....
21329: LEGO Ideas Fender Stratocaster Set Review
Just about all sets to be released under the LEGO® Ideas banner come from fan designers uploading their creations and getting 10,000 votes. In recent years, Contests have offered a unique way to gather fan-created content. After a few smaller projects have been transformed into GWPs, the set which is the focus of this review is the first to be released after being featured in a LEGO Ideas Contest. Back in 2020 LEGO Ideas ran the...
40487: LEGO Ideas Sailboat Adventure Review
As well as offering budding builders the chance to have their LEGO creations become buyable sets, LEGO Ideas has also branched out to craft smaller promotional sets. In recent years these have included a Space Rocket Ride and a Vintage Car. The latest set to join the LEGO Ideas GWP line-up is the Sailboat Adventure. Back in 2020, LEGO fans were tasked with creating a set that was inspired by the holidays themed for a LEGO Ideas...
21328: Seinfeld LEGO Ideas Set Review
LEGO® Ideas has become a great way for fans of various TV shows to share their fandom via the medium of the brick. So far there have been Ideas sets based on Adventure Time, FRIENDS and Big Bang Theory. The latest LEGO Ideas set shared a similar style to the latter two of those sets. Although I must admit that the subject of this latest set is a little odd. Seinfeld first hit screens in 1989, and throughout the 90s enjoyed popularity...
Hands-on With LEGO Ideas Typewriter
I have the privilege of being offered a number of upcoming LEGO® sets to review. That often means the sets I buy for myself sit unbuilt for a long time. I recently picked up the latest LEGO Ideas set, and couldn’t wait so I cracked it open to give it a build. Now a typewriter may not seem like a great source of inspiration for a LEGO set but I can assure you it is unlike anything else. All these weird and wonderful buildable...
