LEGO Customisable Patch Cap Hands-on
If there is one thing for sure, LEGO® fans love a bit of nostalgia and if you add a little Bionicle into the mix, the excitement reaches fever pitch. So when I revealed the first look at possible upcoming Insider rewards a few weeks ago, the article was surprisingly popular. One of the products featured was a backpack, which included the ability to customise it with patches featuring logos from classic LEGO themes. Fast forward a few...
Retro Rebuilds – The King’s Castle
My very first LEGO® set was bestowed upon me in the late 80s. Santa kindly bought me set 6080: King’s Castle set. The set was first released in 1984, but I received it a few years later. Almost 40 years on, I still own that set. Like many childhood toys, it’s been living in a storage box, along with other old LEGO sets. It’s been in the loft and for a short time even visited the shed. As today is the 90th Anniversary...

10305: Lion Knights’ Castle Set Review Part 1
Much like the Classic Space sets, LEGO® fans look upon the Castle sets with great fondness. The medieval-inspired sets debuted in the late 70s and have appeared in many forms since. Over the years, various factions were introduced and it’s those sets which are considered the golden age of LEGO Castle. With so many sets forming the various aspects of LEGO Castle, it’s a lot more difficult to pinpoint a singular set to...
The Minifigures Of 90 Years Of Play
This year marks the 90th Anniversary of the LEGO Group and to mark this milestone a number of special sets have been produced. Some of them feature the return of a few familiar faces from LEGO® history. I’ve already taken a look at the Classic Space-inspired Galaxy Explorer set, but ahead of my review of the Lion Knights’ Castle I’ll be taking a look at all the minifigures found within the Galaxy Explorer set, the...
From The LEGO Vault – Classic Space & Castle Return
LEGO® CON was full of surprises and thankfully they didn’t fully leak beforehand. Which made the revealing of two new sets inspired by past classics even more impressive. They included an all-new Lion Knights’ Castle and a reimagining of the Classic Space Galaxy Explorer. Both sets are the result of the 90th Anniversary Fan Vote held by LEGO Ideas. The castle is packed with details and nods to past sets and characters. The...
