75397: Jabba’s Sail Barge Minifigures Review
I’m still working on my review of the LEGO® Star Wars UCS Jabba’s Sail Barge set but until then, here’s a closer look at the minifigures featured in the upcoming set. Ultimate Collector Series sets aren’t often known for their mass of minifigures. Occasionally they feature an exclusive character but this UCS set has 11 minifigures. The Minifigures featured in this set are inspired by the scenes in Return of the...
75681: Glinda, Elphaba & Nessarose at Shiz University Review
If you’ve watched the trailers for Wicked, you’ll have seen the moment which has inspired the smallest of the upcoming Wicked sets. As a prequel to The Wizard of Oz, Wicked tells the story of witches Glinda and Elphaba, who I assume are attending a witch university, where they first meet. Good Witch Glinda arrives at Shiz University in an ornate boat, filled with her essential possessions. This set recreates the moment the...
75682: Elphaba & Glinda Figures Set Review
The Land of Oz has captivated movie audiences since the late ’30s. Based on the children’s book by L. Frank Baum, the Wizard of Oz tells the tale of a young girl from Kansas who is whisked away to a faraway land, called Oz. The enduring spirit of the wonderful Wizard of Oz original story has inspired numerous spin-offs including a hit musical called Wicked. That itself was also inspired by a series of books published in...
31213: Mona Lisa LEGO Art Review
When the LEGO® Art theme was first launched it focused on mosaic-like images of pop culture icons. Each buildable image followed a similar style to create a wall-mountable picture and also offered the ability to combine sets to create larger images. But as the theme has evolved so too have the sets and the latest lets builders replicate a true masterpiece. Following LEGO Ideas’ take on a Van Gogh classic, it’s the turn of...
10340: Wreath Botanical Collection Set Review
After taking a look at the LEGO® Poinsettia set, it’s time for a closer look at another festive addition to the LEGO Botanical Collection. Wreaths are commonly used at Christmas to decorate doors, although they have expanded to include other seasonal events. Despite their use, the basic make-up of a Wreath is a mixture of foliage, mostly leaves and other natural elements such as berries, which are combined and woven into a...
Rebuild The Galaxy Meet The Minifigures
As part of this year’s 25th Anniversary of the LEGO® Star Wars theme, Disney+ is now streaming a ‘four-piece’ animated LEGO Star Wars series called Rebuild the Galaxy. As the name suggests, things in the galaxy far, far away have become completely mixed up after an ordinary nerf-herder called Sig Greebling unearths a powerful artefact from a hidden Jedi temple. The result is a wild, twisted version of the LEGO Star...
10370: Poinsettia Botanical Collection Set Review
Having been introduced as part of the LEGO® Icons theme, the success of the buildable foliage sets has since become a separate theme called the Botanical Collection. Oddly, the two upcoming Botanical Collection sets feature the Icons branding. Either way, they continue to use LEGO elements to recreate natural structures such as flowers, plants and foliage-based decorations. The first of the new sets I’ll be taking an early peek...
