LEGO Set V Source: Tintin Moon Rocket
The Adventures of Tintin began life as a comic strip in various French newspaper supplements before the young Belgian journalist’s adventures became a series of 24 comic albums. Since Tintin’s adventures were first published in the 1920s, they have been translated into many languages and adapted into an animated cartoon series and a film directed by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson. Tintin’s recent outing has been...
LEGO SMART Play Yay Or Nay
When the SMART Play concept was first revealed, it caused a ripple of excitement. But since the first official sets were revealed earlier this year, the mood towards SMART Play swiftly shifted. Some have heralded the interactive play system as the next evolution of LEGO® play, while others see it as yet another attempt to digitise it. But whereas previous attempts to unite digital and physical play, such as VIDIYO and Hidden Side,...
LEGO Set V Source: The X-Files
The recently released LEGO® Ideas set inspired by The X-Files has proven very popular. Fans of the show have come out in force for the set based on fan builder Brent Waller’s design. One thing people like the most is the fun nods to the iconic show. With over 210 episodes, across 11 seasons and 2 features, there are plenty of moments ripe for the Easter Egg treatment. Here’s a look at some of them found in The X-Files set....
Another Look At LEGO… ‘Plush’ Toys
Last year, I took a look at the cute little ‘plush’ collectables found in a series of LEGO® sets. As I mentioned then, LEGO fans are suckers for collecting groups of LEGO pieces, whether these are intentional collectables such as the Harry Potter Chocolate Frog tiles or the Wanted Poster tiles from the ONE PIECE sets, or unintentional collections such as different coloured frogs, animal figures, or, as is the case here,...
LEGO City Undercover – Grand Theft LEGO
With the world gripped by Grand Theft Auto VI pre-order fever, it’s an ideal time to take a look back at when TT Games took the open-world formula of GTA with the slapstick gameplay of their LEGO® titles. The blending of unusual worlds resulted in LEGO City Undercover, a Wii U exclusive which later headed to Xbox and PlayStation. LEGO City might not be as dangerous or as risky as Vice City, but the LEGO City Police Department is...
LEGO Look Back – Forza Horizon 4 X Speed Champions
With the latest edition of Forza Horizon speeding onto Xbox and PC today, it’s the ideal time to take a look back at the first-ever LEGO® content for the game series fourth outing. Back in 2019, at E3, Xbox Studios and Playground Games announced the LEGO Speed Champions expansion for Forza Horizon 4. This added an entire LEGO brick-filled world to the popular racing series, along with several LEGO Speed Champions vehicles. Once...
A Look At LEGO… Video Game Bonus Items
With the release of LEGO® Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight only a couple of weeks away, it’s clear that TT Games’ latest LEGO title will not include any physical goodies. It’s one of only a few LEGO Games not to offer an exclusive LEGO minifigure or mini set. So, as it would seem the tradition has ended, it’s a good time to take a look back at some of the past LEGO bonuses which have been packed in or given...
