43225: The Little Mermaid Royal Clamshell Review
As Disney continues the quest to transform its entire animated back catalogue into live-action films, the latest Disney classic to get the remake treatment is The Little Mermaid. The story of Ariel’s adoration of the human world and dreams of a life on land is inspired by the Danish fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen. Originally, the classic tale inspired the 1989 Disney animated feature which revitalised Walt Disney Animation...

This weekend will see the legendary Le Mans 24 race take place. The ultimate endurance race is also celebrating its 100th anniversary.

I would go as far as saying it’s one of the best LEGO sets ever released. But what makes it so...
43215: The Enchanted Treehouse Set Review
Before the LEGO® Disney sets became more varied and plentiful they mostly focused on the Disney Princess characters.
