71046: LEGO Minifigures Space Series Review
This year is officially celebrating all things LEGO® Space. Across several different LEGO themes, space has featured heavily and that includes the upcoming new series of LEGO Minifigures. Before I go on and there are the usual comments of ‘this isn’t LEGO Space’, Classic Space and general Space-themed sets are two different things. These minifigures and other sets bearing the 2024 Space branding are not trying to...
77580: Minions And Banana Car Set Review
As the LEGO® Despicable Me 4 sets are officially on sale now, this review should be perfectly safe to publish without Universal’s snipers taking me out. LEGO bricks and Minions have crossed paths before, unfortunately, the original sets based on Illumation’s animated Minion universe arrived around the same time as COVID-19. This meant the sets were released over a year before the film they were based on was released....
40704: Micro NINJAGO Docks Hands-on
The latest trend in promotional LEGO® sets are collectables. After the Houses of the World sets from last year and the ‘Shops’ range, LEGO Insiders is currently offering mini recreations of the much-loved NINJAGO City sets.

LEGO Star Wars Updated Visual Dictionary Review
It’s been 25 years since the first LEGO® Star Wars sets were released alongside The Phantom Menace. The theme has seen hundreds of sets released since then and is credited with reversing the fortunes of the LEGO Group and expanding the LEGO fan base. There are many ways in which this milestone is being celebrated including the release of an updated edition of DK Books’ LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary. This new book takes...
80112: Auspicious Dragon Set Review
This year marks the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese Zodiac. As part of the Spring Festival celebrations, the LEGO Group have released the Auspicious Dragon. Of all the Zodiac animals, the dragon is best suited to create a visually impactful display piece and a marvellous build. April will also see the return of the NINJAGO: Dragons Rising, making this month very dragon-centric. But is the set a worthy addition to your collection?...
