Hands-on With The New LEGO 2024 Annuals

Thanks to the folks at Buster Books, I’ve had a chance to take an early look at the upcoming LEGO® Annuals. Three different LEGO Annuals are being published this year, one themed around LEGO Star Wars, another featuring LEGO Harry Potter and the other inspired by LEGO City, LEGO Minifigures and for the first time LEGO NINJAGO. Annuals are a sort of Christmas tradition in some countries, used as the perfect stocking fillers. As...

60398: Family House And Electric Car Set Review

It’s not all extreme sports and wildlife watching in LEGO® City, sometimes it’s nice to just get home and have a kickabout in the garden. The Family House set may not seem as exciting as some of the other LEGO City sets but it does offer a quaint little LEGO build and plenty of interesting details in such a small set. Here’s a closer look at the LEGO City Family House and Electric Car set. Product Details Set Name:...

75357: Ghost & Phantom II Set Review

In 1983, Return of the Jedi marked the end of Star Wars. The Empire was defeated and the Rebel Alliance celebrated their victory with singing bears. Although it was the end, it was actually the beginning of something much greater. Since 1983, Star Wars has grown to create a vast collection of stories, told across books, games and TV series. None of these expanded stories has had such a greater impact on the Star Wars lexicon than the...

75364: New Republic E-Wing Vs. Shin Hati’s Starfighter Set Review

Since Disney purchased Lucasfilm, it reset the Star Wars canon making some content part of the Legends stories. That made some of the vast content created as part of the Expanded Universe no longer part of the main Star Wars canon. However, some of the recent Star Wars live-action series have delved into the Legends stories to bring some elements of the EU into the ‘Disney’ canon. This new LEGO® Star Wars set is an example...

75362: Ahsoka Tano’s T-6 Jedi Shuttle Set Review

Disney+ has become a great source of inspiration for several different LEGO® sets. Star Wars in particular has benefitted from all the new characters, ships and vehicles. The latest adventures from a galaxy far, far away reunite us with former Jedi, Ahsoka and most of the crew of the Ghost. It’s been 15 years since Ahsoka was introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and since then she’s joined the Spectres in Star Wars:...

21342: The Insect Collection Ideas Set Review

LEGO® Ideas continues to be one of the most varied and inventive of LEGO themes. The latest set to join the LEGO Ideas line-up certainly embodies that. The Insect Collection transforms various creepy crawlies into unique brick-built display pieces. It’s also the 50th main LEGO Ideas set to be inspired by a fan-created build. I’ve had the opportunity to build the set ahead of its release next month. So here’s a closer...
