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...
Dungeons & Dragons Questing With Minifigures
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons. The popular ‘pen & paper’ role-playing game has inspired pop culture for almost as long. It’s fair to say almost everyone will have experienced something related to DnD even if they have never played the tabletop game. Beyond the basic game, DnD has inspired video games such as Baulder’s Gate, a much-loved 90s cartoon series and even formed the basis of the...
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

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,...
Top 10 The LEGO Movie Sets
To coincide with the 10th anniversary of The LEGO® Movie being released in UK cinemas, I thought it would be fun to chart the 10 best sets inspired by the much-loved movie. When the movie was released back in 2014, it was supported by a couple of waves of sets, a series of collectable minifigures and an extended range of companion products, some of which also included exclusive minifigures and minibuilds. Not only that, it also...
A Look At LEGO… Deadpool
With the first-ever trailer for the third Deadpool movie and the character’s debut in the MCU, possibly being released during the Super Bowl, it’s a great time to look at Deadpool’s LEGO® history. The Merc with a Mouth isn’t exactly kid-friendly but he’s made some notable appearances in LEGO-from. The first was way back in 2012 when the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes theme was first introduced. Deadpool...
A Look At LEGO… The Beatles
Way back in the 1960s, four young musicians came together and changed the face of music. Today marks a very special moment in the band’s long history as The Beatles released what is being dubbed their final song. The story behind this new track called Now and Then stretches all the way back to the 1970s when the late John Lennon was playing around with a song. In the mid-90s the recording was given to the three remaining members...
