A Look At LEGO… BricksFanz Fools
I’ve been far too busy to come up with an April Fools feature for this year, so instead, here’s a look back at some past online pranks. One of the most popular of my past April Fools was the ‘Collectible LEGO® Brick Seperator’ series. Even now, it still pops up on Reddit. One of the most elaborate was the LEGO Botanical Collection Leeks, thanks to a little help from John Cramp, aka Bricked1980, this was a play...
A Look At LEGO… Formula 1
As Formula 1 celebrates 75 years since the iconic race championship was founded, fans are descending upon London’s O2 Arena today to be part of the 2025 season launch. This year is the first time the LEGO Group has partnered with F1 to create a range of F1-themed sets. But there have been F1 sets before now I hear you cry and you’d be correct. The first ‘F1’ set was released in the 70s. However, many of those...
A Look At LEGO… Architecture
With the reveal of a second version of the Trevi Fountain joining the LEGO® Architecture range, it’s an ideal time to take a brief look back at the history of the long-running LEGO theme. The LEGO Architecture sets have long sought inspiration from iconic landmarks and locations worldwide, but the theme began as an idea from an architectural-loving LEGO fan. Adam Reed Tucker wanted to unite his passion for architecture with LEGO...
A Look At LEGO… Technic Ultimate Supercars
With the first teaser for the next LEGO® Technic Ultimate Car dropping earlier this week, it’s an ideal time to reflect on the past four sets in the series. Technic has always offered advanced building techniques to create complex vehicles or constructions. But those advanced build offerings were elevated in 2016, with the release of what would become the first of the LEGO Technic Ultimate Car Series sets. These highly detailed...
A Look At LEGO… Space Aliens
This year has seen multiple sets across several themes celebrate space, dubbing 2024 the Year of LEGO® Space. The LEGO Group has a long history with space, thanks to the Apollo Moon Mission. Space exploration inspired one of the earliest LEGO themes. But the recent space-based endeavours haven’t sought to reimagine or remake classic space sets, instead, they each offer a series of space-inspired builds. Apart from the common...
A Look At LEGO… Wolverine
Following the surprisingly popular look at Deadpool’s LEGO® history, it’s only fitting that his movie buddy Wolverine also becomes the subject of his own LEGO lookback. Just like Wade Wilson, Logan’s LEGO journey began in 2012 as part of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set, 6866: Wolverine’s Chopper Showdown. He was joined by the Merc with a Mouth and metal manipulator Magneto. A couple of years later, Wolverine...
A Look At LEGO… Valentine’s Day Builds
Love is in the air and Valentine’s Day has been celebrated over the years with various LEGO® sets. As it’s February 14th, it’s the perfect time to look at how the LEGO Group celebrated the day of love. Some earlier love-filled seasonal sets, such as a buildable heart, Valentine’s Day card and gift box, were quite basic. these sorts of sets inhabited polybags and were often promotional sets. For a few years,...
