76997: Tails’ Adventure Boat Set Review
The second of the new Summer Sonic sets is focused on Tails and his boat, the Sea Fox II. Like some of the past Sonic the Hedgehog sets, inspiration for this set is very, very loosely taken from the wider Sonic universe. Now the Sea Fox II doesn’t actually appear in any Sonic game, TV show or comic per se. It does, however, share its name with a similar seafaring vehicle, which was a nuclear sub piloted by Tails in the Game Gear...
76297: Dancing Groot Set Review
Before 2014, the Guardians of the Galaxy were practically unknown but their fun-filled intergalactic adventures soon cemented them as an important part of the MCU. But one member of the team has become particularly beloved. The Flora Colossus is also known as Groot. Although Groot becomes a little less colossal, he remains a fan-favourite Guardian. Groot has appeared in a few different LEGO® sets including buildable versions of the...
76288: Iron Man & Iron Legion vs. Hydra Soldier Review
This year has been a little light on new Marvel content, so the LEGO® Marvel theme continues to seek inspiration for new sets from past MCU eras. The Infinity Saga, in particular, has provided the LEGO Marvel Design Team with plenty of moments to replicate in LEGO form. This particular set transports us back to 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron. In the opening moments of the film, the Avengers descend upon the HYDRA Research...
76999: Super Sonic Vs. Egg Drillster Set Review
Dr Robotnik has a history of constructing various machines to inflict his evil plans. One such machine is the Egg Drillster, which first appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. As the name would suggest, the Drillster features the ability to drill and is used by Dr Robotnik in one of these end-of-level battles with Sonic. It’s the latest of Robotnik’s creations to be recreated in LEGO form and appears alongside Super Sonic in...
76290: The Avengers Vs. The Leviathan Set Review
With the Avengers assembled and the Battle for New York in full swing, Loki’s Chitauri forces step up their attack with the massive Leviathan creatures. That moment is the inspiration for one of the smaller of the new LEGO® Marvel Summer sets. As the name of the set suggests, it features some of the Avengers and a Leviathan. Here’s an early look at the new LEGO Marvel set, The Avengers vs. The Leviathan. Product Details...
76289: Thor vs. Surtur Construction Figure Review
Thor’s journey in the MCU has been an interesting one. After the first two Thor films, the third embraces the absurdity of a race of alien gods with Thor: Ragnarok. In the opening moments of the film, Thor is found chained in a cage, captured by the fire demon Surtur. The prophecy that Asgard would fall during Ragnarok came true as Surtur was released and rained terror on Thor’s world. It’s those moments which has...
76295: The Avengers Helicarrier Set Review
It’s time to start the Summer set reviews by looking at the entire new range of LEGO® Marvel sets. The first set I’m taking a look at is the recently revealed mini version of the Helicarrier. This gigantic airborne aircraft carrier acts as the mobile command centre for S.H.I.E.L.D. It first appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Marvel’s The Avengers/Avengers Assemble. Since then it’s appeared in multiple...
