10370: Poinsettia Botanical Collection Set Review
Having been introduced as part of the LEGO® Icons theme, the success of the buildable foliage sets has since become a separate theme called the Botanical Collection. Oddly, the two upcoming Botanical Collection sets feature the Icons branding. Either way, they continue to use LEGO elements to recreate natural structures such as flowers, plants and foliage-based decorations. The first of the new sets I’ll be taking an early peek...

71436: King Boo’s Haunted Mansion Set Review
Similar to Peach’s Castle, another of the newly released LEGO® Super Mario Expansion sets is connected to one of the interactive figures. It’s also revisiting a location which has previously inspired past sets. In 2022, the Mario sets took a spooky turn and focused on Luigi’s fearful trip around a spooky mansion. Those previous sets focused on different parts of Luigi’s Mansion. This new set is a little more...

Although most of your time in Animal Crossing is spent pottering around your new village, getting there has varied over the different games. For Animal Crossing New Horizons, you get to your island via Dodo Airlines, the local plane service operated by Wilbur and Orville. The aviation aficionados help players travel to other islands and welcome visitors. This well-known location is the inspiration for one of the recently released LEGO...
77092: The Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 Set Review Part 2
In the first part of my review of the new LEGO® The Legend of Zelda set, I choose to build the version of the Great Deku Tree as seen in the Nintendo 64 classic, Ocarina of Time. But the set also allows you to visit a more recent version of the stoic tree. In true Nintendo style, The Legend of Zelda game series has always experimented with different play and art styles. For the Link’s first outing on Switch, this was taken to...
