76172: Spider-Man & Sandman Showdown Review
A few years ago LEGO® introduced a new range called LEGO Juniors, this was later rebranded as 4+, but the ideas behind the theme remain the same. LEGO 4+ sets are aimed towards younger builders, which means they are simple to build. This also means they contain special elements in order to make the set easier to piece together. There is one new 4+ in the winter wave of Marvel Spider-Man sets and although its nothing overly exciting...
76173: Spider-Man & Ghost Rider Vs Carnage Review
Since the LEGO® Super Heroes theme was introduced, it’s given us a mirage of sets based on the most iconic super folk around. Split between DC and Marvel, within each side of the theme, other sub-themes have emerged including many focused around Spider-Man. The webbed wonder has inspired many of the new superhero sets being released on January 1st. One of which sees the return of two fan favourite Marvel characters. Spider-Man...
LEGO Harry Potter Personalised Book Review
Back in 2018, a company called Penwizard launched a personalised LEGO® book. The first was based in LEGO City and a NINJAGO themed version followed this. Both allowed you could create your own Minifigure avatar and have it featured in your very own one-of-kind Search-and-find book. The guys at Penwizard have since been in touch to see if I’ll like to take a look at one of the books. I’ve received my very own copy of the book...
Official LEGO Super Mario Carry Case Review
Earlier this week an interesting LEGO® Super Mario branded item appeared on Smyths Toys. The LEGO Super Mario Carry Case, as you might expect from the name, is a carry case. According to the images used for the product page on Smyths, it appears to be a case for storing aspects of the LEGO Super Mario sets. But it turns out, it’s far more than that. So here’s a closer look at the LEGO Super Mario Carry Case Product...
10278: LEGO Police Station Modular Set Review
For almost 15 years the LEGO® Modular range has gained a passionate fanbase. This is thanks to a series of sets packed with detail and each offering the ability to connect to another set to bring a bustling brick-built world to life. In 2021 the Modular range is getting a little makeover, with the Police Station to be the first Modular building to carry the new Adults Welcome packaging design. Although the Creator Expert branding has...
21165: The Bee Farm LEGO Minecraft Set Review
It’s been a long time since I’ve built a LEGO® Minecraft set, so long, in fact, I’ve surprised the theme is still seeing new releases. But just like the Minecraft game, the LEGO theme based on it has evolved over the years to feature many of the new elements introduced in the game. LEGO and Minecraft is the perfect match, so much so that many years ago the LEGO Group and Mojang discussed blending the brands into a...
Combining LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Moments
Earlier this week I took a closer look at the new LEGO® Harry Potter Hogwarts Moment sets. These take the form of a buildable book, which opened out to reveal one of four classroom playsets based on popular Hogwarts classes. You may have noticed that each of the books feature a pair of connectors on their backs. Oddly the instructions and packaging don’t really divulge what these are for. Well, they are used to combine each of...
