10360: Shuttle Carrier Aircraft Set Review
The latest LEGO® Icons set takes inspiration from two iconic crafts, the NASA Space Shuttle Enterprise and a Boeing 747 aircraft used to transport it. Beginning in the 1970s, NASA and Boeing joined forces to provide a transportation vessel for NASA’s space shuttles. This set combines a converted Boeing 747 and a NASA Space Shuttle to provide a unique and extremely large display piece. That’s partly why this review is a little...
10352: The Simpsons: Krusty Burger Set Review

LEGO® Icons is known for its large-scale sets, but it also offers some smaller builds. One such set is inspired by one of the world’s inspired minds.

Not to be confused with the Dune set, however, it does share a similar source of inspiration in nature. Da...
10354: The Lord of the Rings: The Shire Set Review
A new LEGO® The Lord of the Rings set is never late, nor is it early; it arrives precisely when it’s meant to. That’s certainly the case with the latest Icons set to be inspired by the Lord of the Rings films. The last and only time a LEGO set visited Hobbiton was back in 2012, with set 79003: An Unexpected Gathering, which was based on the Hobbit trilogy. With the Lord of the Rings sets making a return in 2023, we have...

Despite becoming a global juggernaut, Formula 1 still strongly connects to its country of origin, Britain. Several teams are based in the UK, and some of the most iconic drivers are British. That includes Williams Racing and its champion driver, Nigel Mansell. Both of these are celebrated in this new LEGO® Icons set.
