LEGO 2025 Polybags Hands-on Part 2
Thanks to Brick-a-brac, many of the new 2025 promotional LEGO® sets are now readily available. Commonly known as polybags among LEGO fans, they are now packaged in paper-based bags. So technically they are now longer polybags, but ‘paper bags’ doesn’t sound right although they are officially known as recruitment bags. Regardless of their packaging, these minisets are inspired by various LEGO themes and offer little...

75404: Acclamator-Class Assault Ship Set Review
Like many of the ships from the Prequel Era Star Wars films and series, they are often the predecessors of similar ships featured in the original three Star Wars films. One such ship is the Acclamator-Class Assault Ship, which the Galactic Republic used during the Clone Wars. The enormous transport ship makes its LEGO® debut as part of the Starship Collection and joins the Home One Starcruiser, as another set which is a LEGO Star Wars...
75405: Home One Starcruiser Set Review
Spacefaring vessels are the very first things ever seen in the Star Wars universe. Audiences watched in awe as a Rebel frigate is chased by a ginormous Imperial Destroyer. Since then the heroes, villains and questionable types have blasted around the galaxy far, far away in all sorts of starships. Unsurprisingly ships have become one of the cornerstones of the Star Wars theme. Almost every vessel seen in various Star Wars projects has...
LEGO Horizon Adventures Game Review
Before we begin, don’t expect LEGO® Horizon Adventures to be a full brick-built retread of Zero Dawn. Nor should you expect a collectible-laden experience fine-tuned by TT Games in their LEGO titles. Instead, you’ll be experiencing a watered-down retelling of the Zero Dawn’s story and a vastly different, yet vaguely familiar gameplay experience. Horizon Zero Dawn began life as Guerrilla Games’ follow-up to...
80116: Trotting Lantern Set Review
In the last of my LEGO® Spring Festival set reviews, it’s the turn of the largest of the 2025 sets, Trotting Lantern. As with all Chinese New Year sets, this is another deeply rooted in tradition and cultural relevance. Lanterns are often associated with Chinese culture and are mostly used as illumination. They are also used in different forms as a means of celebration. Floating lanterns are released into the air as a means of...
75401: Ahsoka’s Jedi Interceptor Set Review
During the Clone Wars, the Jedi generals piloted their own ships known as Jedi Interceptors. As with many ships from the prequel era Star Wars stories, they had similarities to their successors which were seen in action during the original trilogy of films. The Interceptor would later become the basis for the Imperial Fleet’s TIE ships. There have been several LEGO® versions of the Jedi Interceptors, although they have been...
