10391: Over the Moon with Pharrell Williams Set Review
Pharrell Williams’ Piece By Piece finally arrives in UK cinemas today, albeit on a limited release. Nevertheless, it’s the ideal time to take a brief look at the accompanying LEGO® set. The Over the Moon with Pharrell Williams set is inspired by the new film which recounts the music producer’s life story through a LEGO lens. Piece By Piece is animated in the style of previous LEGO movies but that’s where the...
76296: New Captain America Figure Review
Buildable LEGO® figures aren’t a new concept, it’s been used to create bigger characters for many years. The most recent crop of Construction Figures began in 2022 with Iron Man and soon expanded to include several other Marvel characters. The format’s been revisited for Marvel Studios’ upcoming film, Captain America: Brave New World. This time it’s the turn of Sam Wilson’s Captain America. After...
76292: Captain America Vs. Red Hulk Battle Review
Marvel Studios’ big screen output has been a little light this year but that hasn’t stopped the LEGO Group looking ahead to next year. In February, Captain America returns in Brave New World. This sees Sam Wilson fully embrace the role of Captain America and is called into action by Thaddeus Ross, now president of the United States. This set is inspired by moments from the latest MCU adventure and features a vehicle and...
40698: Books Are My Passion GWP Review
As well as allowing LEGO® fans to realise their dreams of being a LEGO designer by turning their ideas into LEGO sets, LEGO Ideas has also been the source of several GWP sets. Over the last few years LEGO Ideas has transformed several smaller fan designs into promotional builds. The latest of those fan designs to become a GWP set is the ‘Books Are My Passion’ set, which will be available next week. Here’s an early...
21353: The Botanical Garden Set Review
LEGO® Ideas has become one of my favourite themes. The variety of sets it offers is pretty impressive and that’s perfectly showcased over the last few LEGO Ideas sets. Hot on the heels of sets inspired by classic Disney films and the festively spooky The Nightmare Before Christmas is a Victorian-style ‘hothouse’ Botanical Garden. I must admit when it was revealed that the fan design which inspired this set had been...
71437: The Bowser Express Train Set Review
It’s taken far longer than it should, but I’ve finally finished off the Summer set reviews with this Super Mario set. It’s one of three larger sets released alongside a trio of new ‘Starter Sets’ which contain LEGO® Mario, Luigi and Peach interactive figures. Those characters have inspired the larger of the most recent expansion sets including Luigi’s haunted mansion and Peach’s Castle, but...
76294: X-Men: The X-Mansion Set Review
Despite the X-Men making their debut six decades ago in the comics and more recently inspiring a series of films from 20th Century Fox, for many, their interaction with Marvel’s Mutant-kind started on Saturday mornings in the 90’s. The animated adventures of the X-Men took place over five seasons but came to an end in 1996. Over 27 years later the X-Men were reborn on Disney+ with an official continuation of that original...
