71053: LEGO Minifigures Shrek Series Review
Once upon a time in the land of Far Far Away, DreamWorks’ animation studio released a film based on a picture book called Shrek. The story of a grumpy ogre soon became a cult classic and spawned several sequels and spin-offs. It’s become so beloved that the film series is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and a fifth film is due to be released next year. Along with Shrek, the film series has created many popular...
72423: Shrek, Donkey & Puss In Boots Set Review
This year marks the 25th anniversary of DreamWorks’ Shrek; it also sees everyone’s favourite Orge make his LEGO® debut. Originally, Shrek was being developed into a feature film by legendary director Steven Spielberg before it became one of the first animated films to come from DreamWorks Animation. Shrek is loosely based on a children’s picture book published in the early 90s by William Steig and follows the...
31221: Gustav Klimt – The Kiss Set Review
LEGO® ART (set 31221) Gustav Klimt – The Kiss is the biggest LEGO Art set yet to come out of the very popular theme. At 4000 pieces, it’s not just the number of elements used that makes it big, but also the size of the finished set. It’s a whopping 60 by 54cm (23.5 by 21 inches). Gustav Klimt was born in Austria in 1862. He was a founding member of the Vienna Secession movement, and his work helped to define the Art Nouveau...
75455: Boba Fett Set Review
Buildable characters may seem like a recent addition to the LEGO® Star Wars range. However, they have been around since the early days of the long-running theme. Of course, those early attempts offered some pretty crude recreations of iconic characters. Thankfully, more recent attempts have been much better and have introduced a subtheme of sets which began with 75379: R2-D2 and also includes similarly scaled sets inspired by C-3PO...
40896: The X-Files: Scully’s Lab GWP Review
In recent years, some of the showpiece LEGO® Ideas sets have been accompanied by an exclusive bonus GWP set. The Italian Riviera gave us a Flower Market Van; The Goonies came with a set inspired by Mikey’s Attic, and a ticket office was available alongside the River Steamboat. That tradition is set to continue with the upcoming released on the LEGO Ideas set inspired by The X-Files. Purchasing the latest LEGO Ideas sets before...
21369: The X-Files Set Review
The X-Files debuted in 1993 and soon became must-watch TV. The premise was simple: the FBI had a series of unexplained cases known as X-Files. Many of these were pursued by Agent Fox Mulder. Fellow Agent Dana Scully was sent to keep an eye on the bureau’s oddball agent. The X-Files covered all sorts of phenomena, including weaponised bees, shape-shifting killers, water monsters and, of course, Alien Abductions. Those visitors...
76339: The Fantastic Four H.E.R.B.I.E. Set Review
Robotic companions have become a mainstay of the LEGO® Star Wars theme, but the latest buildable LEGO droid doesn’t hail from a galaxy far, far away. Instead, it comes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel’s first family have been the subject of several films, but it wasn’t until last year’s MCU debut that the Fantastic Four’s robot assistant, H.E.R.B.I.E., was faithfully portrayed on the big screen....
