76324: Spider-Man Vs. Oscorp Set Review
The long-running and interconnected world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has yielded some interesting LEGO creations. I love the MCU and its surrounding stories, which now bring moments from the Fox and Sony universes into canon. But in my opinion, when it comes to Spider-Man, those sets not based on the movies are far more interesting. This set is a good example of that and expands the newly introduced Marvel ‘streets’...
21362: Mineral Collection Set Review
Creating organic objects with LEGO® bricks has always been a tricky endeavour. But as the range of LEGO elements has increased and the palette of colours has improved, what can be built with LEGO bricks has become more varied. The LEGO Ideas range is a great example of what can be done with LEGO pieces. Not to mention also showcasing the amazing build skills of LEGO fans. The 70th LEGO Ideas retail set to be released may not be big or...
75688: Glinda’s Wedding Day Set Review
As they are released way ahead of the films which inspire them, LEGO® sets have a long history of revealing story points from major films. That’s certainly the case with this set. As its name suggests, the set appears to be inspired by Glinda’s wedding day. This appears to be a deviation from the musical. But to be fair, the set it’s also alluded to in the upcoming film’s trailer. Continuing the reviews of the...
75687: Elphaba’s Retreat Set Review
The newly released LEGO® Wicked playsets expand upon what the first wave of sets offered, but this time they are inspired by the second film, Wicked: For Good. With the rift between Glinda and Elphaba widening, the soon-to-be Wicked Witch of the West seeks refuge in a hidden woodland retreat. Here, the emerald-skinned student is free to harness her powers and be herself without judgment from others. Here’s a closer look at the...
43010: Nike Slam Dunk Set Review
Nike is known for its strong connection to several major sports, but their most prominent partnership is with basketball. Nike sneakers or trainers, as we call them in the UK, have been shaped to improve players’ performance. Although they are now more closely associated with the skater community, Dunk’s journey began on the basketball court. Which is why all three of the LEGO® X Nike Collection sets have focused on the...
72046: Nintendo Game Boy Set Review
Long before you could catch Pokémon whilst simply going to the toilet and taking your phone with you, back in 1989, Nintendo revolutionised gaming on the go. Back in the 80s, gaming was reserved for the home or the local arcade. But Nintendo used its expertise in bite-sized gaming through the Game & Watch systems to create an all-new gaming system. The Nintendo Game Boy was born. The handheld gaming system may seem archaic by...
43021: Nike Dunk Trickshot Set Review
The new partnership with Nike has already outdone the previous link-up with rival sports brand Adidas. A greater focus on brick-based products will see two new LEGO® Nike sets released next month. One of those sets is another take on Nike’s popular Dunk footwear. Favoured by basketball players, Nike Dunk sneakers soon became popular with the skating community. This new set blends aspects of both communities and includes another...
