21363: The Goonies Set Review
The 80s were a wonderful time for movies. So much so, last year, LEGO® Ideas tasked fan builders with creating a set inspired by the era. Two fan designs were chosen, one inspired by Gremlins and the other by the 1984 classic, The Goonies. The ’80s isn’t the only link between the two films. Both were released by Warner Bros., both were executively produced by Steven Spielberg, and both have already appeared in LEGO form....
75685: Emerald City Wall Art Set Review
Last year, the LEGO Group partnered with Universal Pictures for a range of sets inspired by Wicked, the prequel to The Wizard of Oz. The four sets released ahead of the film were interesting and brought the world of Oz to life nicely, but the use of mini-dolls wasn’t loved by all.

31217: The Fauna Collection – Tiger Set Review
The LEGO Art range has evolved quite a lot since it was introduced. Flat, mosaic images have given way to 3D pieces of art.

75640: The Baratie Floating Restaurant Set Review
The world of ONE PIECE is filled with a colourful cast of characters. In the first live-action Netflix series, we only meet a fraction of them. But it’s not just the people who provide interesting muses for LEGO® sets. The world they inhabit is as intriguing, blending classic aspects of pirate culture with modern flair and over-the-top architectural elements. As the largest of the LEGO ONE PIECE sets, the Baratie is a great...
