71374: Nintendo Entertainment System LEGO Set Review
This year marks the 35th anniversary of a games console which changed the face of gaming forever. PlayStation, Xbox, Dreamcast, Switch and even the games you play on your phone whilst on the loo, they all owe a great debt to the Nintendo Entertainment System. The NES was Nintendo’s first major global home console release. Originally known as the Famicom in its home country of Japan, it would later get a new name and a new look...
LEGO Super Mario Sets Review Round-up
Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been busy building and reviewing the new LEGO® Super Mario sets. That’s every single expansion set, the Starter Course and the Power-up suits.

For every good guy, there is an equally bad one somewhere nearby. For as long as Mario has been jumping around the Mushroom Kingdom, Bowser hasn’t been far behind or should that be ahead. If there is one thing Nintendo does well it has a good old boss fight. Be it leaping over fireballs and taking him out on a bridge or swinging him around by his tail, Mario and Bowser have a long-standing grudge. Often fighting for the...

After mysteriously winning a huge mansion, located deep within Boo Woods, Luigi became the star of the show in Luigi’s Mansion. It is here King Boo makes his debut. This right royal spectre has...

71368: Toad’s Treasure Hunt Set Review
As Mario headed out on his third adventure across the Mushroom Kingdom, he was helped on his way stopping off Toad’s houses. This mushroom-capped little guy has become a Nintendo legend since being introduced in Super Mario Bros. 2. Things get a little confusing as Toad is not only the main character’s name, it’s also the overall now for their species. However, over the years there have been a few notable characters...
75317: The Mandalorian & the Child Set Review
When a galaxy far, far away made its first foray into the world TV, it became an instant hit. The mysterious Mandalorian warrior and his equally mysterious bounty, known only as The Child, became an internet phenomenon. The secrecy behind The Child is why it’s taken so long for products featuring the Yoda-like creature to arrive. There are a number of LEGO products based on The Mandalorian, including an all-new BrickHeadz set,...
