76393: Harry Potter & Hermione Granger Set Review
Larger scale recreations of LEGO® Minifigures are nothing new. They have been transformed into wooden art pieces, clocks, lamps and even soft toys. But buildable Minifigures have a much more limited history. In recent years they have appeared in a couple of sets to represent giants or much larger characters. Going further back there was a much larger albeit rather crude looking buildable Minifigure. So when the rumours started...

42128: Heavy-duty Tow Truck Technic Set Review
Way back in the 80s when music was epic and fashion was questionable, my LEGO® journey began with pre-built Christmas Day classics such as the 6080: Castle or 6392: Airport.

That set was 8837: Pneumatic Excavator and it was powered by pneumatic pumps. Back then it was...
