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,...
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...
The Wondrous World Of LEGO BrickHeadz
With news that Funko is close to bankruptcy, it got me thinking about the LEGO Group’s answer to the collectable character craze – LEGO® BrickHeadz. Funko Pops were first available in 2011, and their popularity exploded in the years that followed. They covered a wide range of characters and brands, making their fan base seemingly endless.

That makes it the perfect time to take a look back at The Simpsons LEGO journey. Long before The Simpsons became part of the Walt Disney Company and the introduction of adult-focused product lines, The Simpsons made their LEGO debut in 2014 with a set inspired by The...
A Look At LEGO… ‘Plush’ Toy Collectables
LEGO® fans are suckers for collectables. These can be groups of certain minifigures, unique printed pieces or even something as simple as a particular element. The latest LEGO collectable was first introduced in the Series 27 LEGO Minifigures and has since appeared in several sets from themes as diverse as Dreamz to Disney. Here’s a closer look at the LEGO element ‘creature w/hole’, better known as the plush toy element. As mentioned,...
A Look At LEGO… City Soapbox Race Cars
Earlier this year, the LEGO® City range introduced a series of sets featuring themed cart-like vehicles commonly known as soapbox racers. In the real world, soapbox carts are motorless homemade vehicles, and in recent times, they have been made popular due to Red Bull’s Soapbox Derby events. It appears the citizens of LEGO City have been inspired by those Red Bull events, as the LEGO City carts are all themed. There are three...
