76414: Expecto Patronum Set Review
The Wizarding World is filled with many forms of magic. One such spell is Expecto Patronum, a defensive charm which cast a protective projection. This difficult spell is taught to a young Harry Potter by Professor Lupin to protect against attacks by Dementors. The most common form of a Patronus conjures an animal-like projection. These have previously been featured in LEGO Harry Potter as transparent blue animal elements. This set...
75359: 332nd Ahsoka’s Clone Trooper Battle Pack Review
If there’s one thing LEGO® Star Wars fans enjoy more than moaning, it’s a good old Battle Pack. These small-scale sets were a sneaky way to provide minifigure characters without encroaching on the licencing agreements Lucasfilm had with other companies. The Battle Packs are also great ways for people to amass a large number of characters to build their own armies. This latest LEGO Star Wars Battle Pack is inspired by the...
76422: Diagon Alley: Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes Review
Just as the 26th anniversary since the first Harry Potter book was published, it’s time to take a look at another of the recently released new LEGO® Harry Potter sets. Diagon Alley is filled with an array of whimsical shops and one of the most colourful is Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes joke shop. Oddly, the store was recently included in the large-scale LEGO recreation of Diagon Alley. So what does this smaller version offer...
75361: Spider Tank LEGO Star Wars Set Review
When the first season of The Mandolorian launched on Disney+ there was so much secrecy around the first live-action Star Wars, even merchandise was held back. This effort not to spoil the series also meant it would be a while before LEGO® sets inspired by the show would appear. That’s not been the case with the most recent series and as each new episode was released a new set was revealed. One of those sets includes this...
75360: Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter Set Review
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Clone Wars. This fabled conflict was briefly mentioned by old Ben Kenobi in 1977’s Star Wars and remained a mystery until 2003. But it would be the 3D animated Clone Wars series which began in 2008 that would act as a big inspiration for the many LEGO® Star Wars sets from the prequel era. That includes this set, a ship which first appeared in Season 6 of The Clone Wars and has only...
LEGO Star Wars Mech Suits Set Review
Almost all of the LEGO® Star Wars are inspired by various moments from the Star Wars films or TV series. They transform iconic vehicles and locations into buildable playsets or displayable scenes. But the upcoming LEGO Star Wars sets I’ll be taking a look at today are a little more fanciful. Mech suits have largely been focused around superhero characters, with many Marvel heroes and villains strapping on a mechanised version of...
76993: Sonic Vs Dr Eggman’s Death Egg Robot Review
Despite being added to LEGO® Kids Zone a number of weeks ago, today during the Sonic Central stream, a fifth LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog set was revealed by none other than Dr Eggman. When the LEGO® Ideas Sonic set was released, one of the biggest complaints was the design of Dr Robnik aka Eggman, something the reveal actually acknowledge. The brick-built character is no more in the new sets and as Eggman puts it, he’s now an...
