76294: X-Men: The X-Mansion Set Review
Despite the X-Men making their debut six decades ago in the comics and more recently inspiring a series of films from 20th Century Fox, for many, their interaction with Marvel’s Mutant-kind started on Saturday mornings in the 90’s. The animated adventures of the X-Men took place over five seasons but came to an end in 1996. Over 27 years later the X-Men were reborn on Disney+ with an official continuation of that original...
LEGO Harry Potter Collection Remastered Review
The first LEGO® Harry Potter game was released in 2010 and covered the first four films and a sequel based on the final three years at Hogwarts followed in 2011. Fast forward to 2016 when both games were remastered and packaged in the LEGO Harry Potter Collection exclusively for PlayStation 4. The newly repackaged game was then released on the Nintendo Switch and Xbox in 2018. But it doesn’t end there, even though the 2016/18...
75684: Welcome To Emerald City Set Review
Moviegoers were first introduced to the Emerald City in 1939, as Dorothy and chums headed there to see the Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The magnificent bejewelled city will be revised later this year in the Wizard of Oz prequel, Wicked. The Wizard’s Palace looks a little different to how it did in 1939 but it’s just a regal and will be an important part of the upcoming film. So much so it’s the subject of the largest of...

76781: Wednesday & Enid’s Dorm Room Set Review
Nevermore Academy is a dark and mysterious place, where students with equally dark talents go to learn and hone their unusual abilities. As you’d expect from a place which teaches sirens, werewolves and vampires, Nevermore is an old and creepy-looking place with architecture to match. But there is a place where colour has managed to creep through, in an attic which is the dorm for Enid and her new roommate Wednesday Addams....

Along with his palatial palace in the mountains of Tatooine, Jabba can venture over the dunes in style in his Sail Barge. Officially known as Khetanna, the hovering craft appears in Return of the Jedi and is used to transport Jabba and his entourage to The Great Pit of Carkoon. At the pit, the Sail Barge is used as a viewing platform to watch Jabba’s prisoners fed to the Sarlacc. It’s become part of several iconic moments...
