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....
21372: La Catrina Set Review
Next month is shaping up to be a special month for LEGO® Ideas, and one of the sets due to be released on August 1st is La Catrina. La Catrina is an elegantly dressed female skeleton that has become the central symbol of Mexico’s Día de Muertos celebrations, also known as the Day of the Dead. In Mexican culture, death is celebrated as a natural continuation of life. Although it falls after Halloween, the Day of the Dead is far...
11512: Hanging Golden Pothos Set Review
Along with several displays of colourful flowers, the LEGO® Botanicals range has also replicated several plants. The latest is the Golden Pothos, a popular houseplant which originates from the tropical island of Mo’orea in French Polynesia. The evergreen plant has trailing vine-like shoots, dotted with heart-shaped leaves. The Golden Pothos’ trailing vines make it an interesting-looking plant, but does that result in a...
11513: Dark Flower Arrangement Set Review
The LEGO® Botanicals theme continues its impressive run with the recently announced Dark Flower Arrangement. Unlike previous buildable bouquets, this set includes a simple platform to mount the brick-built blooms, creating a colourful display that doesn’t require an additional vase or pot. This functional setup also makes it incredibly easy to customise with other Botanicals sets. Ahead of its official release next month, here...
75459: Imperial Lambda-Class Shuttle Set Review
Like many iconic Star Wars vessels, the Imperial Shuttle has a rich history in LEGO® form. Since the earliest brick-built version debuted in 2001, fans have seen a steady stream of these Imperial transporters. Despite sharing the same source material, the sets have varied wildly in scale and appearance—ranging from standalone models to the unique, scaled-down version found inside the massive Death Star playset. The latest iteration...
