71414: Conkdor’s Noggin Bopper Set Review

I’m not sure if it’s been dictated by Nintendo or simply a design choice by the LEGO® Super Mario Design Team but quite a few of the LEGO Super Mario Expansion Sets are inspired by the more recent Mario games. Obviously, there are enemies and locations which have appeared in the games since the very beginning but newer titles from the Wii, Wii U and Switch have acted as a major source for many of the LEGO sets....

40648: Money Tree LEGO Set Review

The LEGO Group have always celebrated jet seasonal holidays or events with a variety of different LEGO® products. Over the last few years, Chinese New Year has inspired many new sets with the latest releases being no different. In fact, this year has seen the range switch things up a little with the usual LEGO and DUPLO playsets being joined by a displayable build and a smaller set, which is the focus of this review. As a Christmas...

10312: Jazz Club LEGO Modular Building Review

I’m quite the newbie when it comes to LEGO® Modulars. The first one I built was the Book Shop and I’ve been lucky enough to get them for review purposes ever since. I’ve always admired the modular buildings range and fully understand their appeal. The only reason I never delved into them was the lack of space to display them and the Pokémon nurtured urge to ‘catch them all’ would make me seek out past...

LEGO Lord Of The Rings BrickHeadz Review

I have fond connections to the Lord of the Rings series. My old dog was called Bilbo, I loved the films and couldn’t wait to head to the shops to pick up the extended editions. Of course, the books really bring the rich world of Middle Earth to life. But for many, it’s the film series from New Line Cinema which has provided the route into this amazing world. They also acted as the inspiration for the LEGO® Lord of the...

71037: LEGO Minifigures Series 24 Review

It’s time to take a look at the upcoming series of LEGO® Minifigures. It’s been a while since I’ve had them to review and I’m glad I’ve been offered Series 24 as it appears to be the best series of original characters yet. It introduces 12 new faces to collect and includes plenty of new elements to help bring the characters to life. So ahead of their official release on January 1st, it’s time to meet the...

60384: Penguin Slushy Van Set Review

The LEGO® City Design Team have really stepped it up a notch over the last couple of years. Beyond the traditional Fire and Police sets, this evergreen theme has introduced some really fun builds and that will continue into 2023. I’ve got some of the new 2023 LEGO City sets to review and the first one I’m taking a look at is another food vendor van. This one dispenses icy slushy drinks and just so happens to be penguin...
