A Look At LEGO…. Fairgrounds
With the announcement of a new LEGO® fairground set, I thought it was the perfect time to take a look at some of the other sets which are part of the same style of sets. Most of them are a sub-theme of the Creator Expert line, although the Haunted House is part of the new ‘AFOL’ line. There are also a couple of LEGO City sets with a fairground twist.

The original plan was to do this ahead of the festive period but due to high season, the set only arrived a couple of weeks ago....

TT Games may have been a little quiet, but we have still seen LEGO titles releases by other developers. These have included a Speed Champions expansion for Forza Horizon 4, a LEGO-themed spin-off of Tiny Towers and...
