77015: Temple Of The Golden Idol Set Review

It’s been 15 years since the famed adventurer and professor of fine antiquities, whip-cracked his way into LEGO® history. As a fourth big-screen adventure was prepping for Indiana Jones’ cinematic return, his previous adventure inspired a series of LEGO sets and even a pair of video games from TT Games. As Indiana Jones is set to return for his fifth adventure in the Dial of Destiny, the LEGO Group has once again partnered with...

41731: Heartlake International School Set Review

For my penultimate LEGO® Friends set review, I’m taking a look at the second largest of the new sets. It’s also quite an important location in Heartlake City as the school is where the new group of LEGO Friends meet. The Heartlake International School is also the focus of the feature-length first episode of the LEGO Friends The Next Chapter animated series. The school brings together students from across Heartlake City and...

41729: Organic Grocery Store Set Review

Despite being revealed last year, mainstream media has only just cottoned on to the fact that LEGO® Friends has changed. The new sets have introduced a number of new characters that better reflect the differences some people have. By some people, that includes kids. You would think allowing kids to see themselves in their toys would be a good thing. Well it totally is, but some have decided characters with differences are terrible and...

75351: Princess Leia Boushh Helmet Review

This year marks the 40th anniversary since Star Wars Return of the Jedi arrived in cinemas. The film concluded the original Star Wars trilogy and for a long time, it was considered the end of the Star Wars saga. So it seems only fitting that one of the new LEGO Star Wars Helmet Collection sets has a connection to the 1983 Star Wars adventure. That helmet is inspired by the mysterious bounty hunter known as Boushh. A shandy character...

21339: BTS Dynamite LEGO Ideas Set Review

I’ll start by saying, I get that there are those who have zero interest in this set. But for everyone commenting on social media, aghast at its very existence, you are very much in the minority. The potential fan base of those who are and will be buying this sets vastly dwarfs those ‘devastated’ by its pending release. Not every LEGO® release will appeal to everyone. I am not a BTS fan, their music doesn’t...

10316: The Lord Of The Rings: Rivendell Review Pt. 2

I’ve already taken a look at the first two sections of the new LEGO® The Lord of the Rings Rivendell set, along with its impressive line-up of minifigures. Now it’s time to take a look at the largest section of the set, the Great Hall of Rivendell. This is not only the biggest part of the build experience but also the most complex and the most important in terms of the connection to the moment the location is featured in...
