60362: Car Wash Set Review

Given the abundance of cars, it’s not overly surprising that Cash Washing facilities have featured a lot in LEGO® City. They are often tied to a garage but the latest is a standalone Car Wash unit. It may look similar to past Car Washes, after all, they all provide the same basic function, but this new set does have a couple of interesting new ideas. So as I continue on with the LEGO City Summer set reviews here’s a closer...

60376: Arctic Explorer Snowmobile Set Review

Starting today, I’ll be taking a look at the complete wave of LEGO® City sets being released on June 1st in most regions.

43218: Anna & Elsa’s Magical Carousel Set Review

Although much of the focus of the LEGO® Disney theme is fuelled by Disney’s 100th Anniversary, there are still a couple of sets simply inspired by Disney and not tied to the company’s milestone. One such set is Anna and Elsa’s Magical Carousel, which is inspired by the much-loved Frozen franchise. As the Summer Set reviews continue it’s off to Arendelle for a look at this fun little LEGO Disney’s Frozen...

Black Widow & Captain America Motorcycles Review

Despite the last Avengers film hitting cinemas back in 2019, the films which form part of the Infinity Saga are still inspiring LEGO® Marvel sets today. The latest is loosely based on moments from Age of Ultron, where both Captain America and Black Widow use motorcycles to fight the good fight and do general avenging. Admittedly, this feels like a slightly random set, as it’s not being released alongside a larger wave of sets....
