75431: 327th Star Corps Clone Troopers Battle Pack Review

Battle Packs are popular aspects of the LEGO® Star Wars theme. They were originally introduced as a way to sell minifigures in bulk in order to build armies. The concept has evolved a little over the years, and smaller, cheaper packs have slowly seen the price creep up and the number of characters they contain increase. They remain a good, but seemingly not a very cost-effective way to source multiples of characters. The subject of...

75434: K-2SO Security Droid Set Review

We first met the reprogrammed Imperial Security Droid, K-2SO, in the Star Wars prequel, Rogue One. The sarcastic KX Droid instantly becomes a fan favourite thanks to its one-liners and pure disregard for those around it. The character returned in the second series of Andor, and similar Droids have appeared in other Star Wars stories, most notably EA’s Star Wars Jedi games. KX series Droid look quite cool, making them the perfect muse...

75430: Wicket The Ewok Set Review

Say what you like about the Ewoks, but they helped topple the Empire, used the discarded helmets of their foe as drums and nearly straight up cooked and ate Luke and Han if not for the god-like allure of C-3PO. Plus, before George Lucas’ tinkering, they sang a catchy tune at the end of Return of the Jedi. Now the furry fiends have inspired the latest buildable Star Wars character. In particular, Wicket, the inquisitive Ewok we first...

77241: 2 Fast 2 Furious Honda S2000 Set Review

For almost 25 years and over 10 films, the Fast and Furious franchise has gone from nitro-powered street races to cars in space (yes, really). But despite how wild the plots of the long-running film series have become, the cars have remained the heart of the franchise. One of the most iconic cars from the second film, 2 Fast 2 Furious, was driven by Suki. Her custom hot pink Honda S2000 has now been immortalised in LEGO® bricks for...
