60300: Wildlife Rescue ATV LEGO City Set Review
The Summer LEGO® City Subtheme has taken a trip into the wild in search of all manner of new LEGO animals. In fact, the Wildlife Rescue sets introduce some great new creature elements so I’ve decided to take a look at all the sets starting with the smallest, Wildlife Rescue ATV. It may be the smaller of the Wildlife Rescue sets but it features two new animals and makes use of a newish action element. So here’s a closer...
LEGO Life Hacks Book Review
DK Books has been publishing a number of LEGO-inspired titles for a number of years now. Although those which feature LEGO® Minifigures or Minibuilds are often the most exciting, occasionally there are books like LEGO Life Hacks. There may not be any physical LEGO elements included with the book but the inspirational books found throughout are certainly worth a look. So here’s my review of the LEGO Life Hacks book. Product...
42129: 4×4 Mercedes-Benz Zetros Trial Truck Review
This summer there are two new flagship sets joining the LEGO® Technic line-up. One includes the latest tech in the form of the Control+, whilst the other employs the classic power of air. Now it’s been a while since I’ve built a Technic set but I’ve had the opportunity to build them both, so I decided to tackle the Mercedes-Benz Truck first. Technic builds are vastly different compared to your average LEGO set. So...
75315: Imperial Light Cruiser Set Review
We first see the Imperial Light Cruiser in chapter 12 of The Mandalorian. However, it has connections to similar ships long before the rise of the Empire. During the Clone Wars, the Republic Army used a similar class of ship. They were classed as escort ships due to their smaller and more manoeuvrable nature. As the Empire’s grip on the galaxy tightened, these old Republic vessels were repurposed for the Imperial Navy. One of...
21328: Seinfeld LEGO Ideas Set Review
LEGO® Ideas has become a great way for fans of various TV shows to share their fandom via the medium of the brick. So far there have been Ideas sets based on Adventure Time, FRIENDS and Big Bang Theory. The latest LEGO Ideas set shared a similar style to the latter two of those sets. Although I must admit that the subject of this latest set is a little odd. Seinfeld first hit screens in 1989, and throughout the 90s enjoyed popularity...
75309: Republic Gunship UCS Set Review
Back in 2020, the LEGO® Star Wars Design Team used the LEGO Ideas platform to run a Fan Vote. The question asked was simple, which of three pre-selected Star Wars ships would fans like to see become a future Ultimate Collectors Series set? The choices included three much-requested ships – a TIE Bomber, a Republic Dropship and a Nebulon B Medical Frigate. Over 53,000 people voted and the result fell in favour of the Republic...
76394: Fawkes, Dumbledore’s Phoenix Set Review
Last year the LEGO® Harry Potter range expanded beyond the usual playset scenes to offer its first displayable build in the form of Hedwig. This unique kinetic construct must have been popular as it’s been followed up by another creature from the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Professor Dumbledore’s Phoenix companion, Fawkes, provides another unique Harry Potter set. But how does it shape up compared to Hedwig?...
