40521: Mini Disney The Haunted Mansion Set Review
The combination of the LEGO® brand and Disney has been a long-running one. In fact Disney’s Pluto was one of the first licensed characters to inspire a LEGO-made wooden toy. More recently, Disney Parks have also inspired sets such as the Disney Castle and Train Station. To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World, last year a mini version of the park’s Cinderella Castle was created and it must have proved...

10497: Galaxy Explorer Set Review
LEGO® Classic Space, as it has become affectionately known, has been one of the most enduring LEGO themes. First introduced in the late 70s, the space-themed sets were part of the wider ‘LEGOLAND’ range, not based on the theme parks but the collective name of sets inspired by castles, towns and outer space. As part of the 90th-anniversary celebrations, the LEGO Group gave fans the opportunity to vote for which classic...

40547: Obi-Wan Kenobi & Darth Vader BrickHeadz Review
It’s amazing to think LEGO® BrickHeadz are still being released as it wasn’t too long ago, it was rumoured the collectable theme was being canned. The premise of the BrickHeadz is a simple one, buildable versions of iconic characters all crafted in a stylised cubic aesthetic. Despite them using the same design basis, as LEGO themes go, it is one of the most varied in terms of IPs it covers. The latest set to join the...
