LEGO City Stuntz Stunt Bikes Review
The LEGO® City theme has been home to various element innovations over the years. Be they inclusive parts such as the wheelchair or guide dog harness or action elements such as magnets or net guns, many others pass under the radar. The latest new addition to the LEGO range is a flywheel-powered bike, which forms the basis of the LEGO City Stuntz sub-theme. This features a number of larger playsets as well as a series of collectable...

43108: LEGO VIDIYO Bandmates Series 2 Review
Last year the LEGO Group announced a new partnership with Universal Music Group, which would see LEGO® sets combine with music for the first time. The result of the partnership gave use LEGO VIDIYO and caused a riptide of hatred from a vocal section of the AFOL community. In fact, the theme has done so poorly, it’s been ‘paused’ so it can be reworked for a possible return in the future. But before its departure,...

71390: Reznor Knockdown Expansion Set Review
For the last of my LEGO® Super Mario set reviews, it’s time to take a look at one of the most complex and feature-heavy sets of the new wave. Although not as large in terms of scale or pieces as Bowser’s Airship, the Reznor Takedown expansion set has way more to offer in terms of play. This is thanks to a number of working sections that combine to create an impressive addition to the LEGO Super Mario line-up. As well as...
LEGO Super Mario Frog & Bee Power-Up Packs Review
Mario’s iconic red and blue outfit is instantly recognizable for gamers and non-gamers alike. But as much as his standard outfit is so iconic, popping on some new threads has been a key aspect of Mario’s many adventures. The latest two Power-up suits to join Mario’s ever-expanding wardrobe are the Bee Suit and the Frog Suit. These once again capture elements for Mario’s past adventures from long ago as well as...
71389: Lakitu Sky World Expansion Set Review
When I build a LEGO® set I often like to pop on something relevant to play in the background. So if I’m tackling a Star Wars set, I pop on a film or TV series from a galaxy far, far away. For a Marvel set, I call upon the MCU, you get the idea. So as I built this particular Mario expansion set, I popped on the ‘classic’ Super Mario Bros. movie. In a similar way that this movie is very, very, very loosely based on the...
