76245: Ghost Rider Mech & Bike Set Review
A character who finds his flesh consumed by hellfire, causing his head to become a flaming skull doesn’t seem like the most kid-friendly inspiration for a LEGO set. Yet the character has previously appeared in two past LEGO sets. As Johnny Blaze in 2016 and then as Robbie Reyes in a 2021 set. Now Blaze is back in an upcoming 2023 LEGO Marvel set. The basis of the character has remained pretty much the same across all three sets,...
76247: The Hulkbuster: The Battle of Wakanda Review
Just like LEGO® City’s yearly selection of fire engines and police cars, the LEGO Marvel theme also likes to regularly revisit similar moments or characters. Iron Man is obviously a fan favourite and his Hulkbuster armour has been the subject of a number of LEGO sets. With the LEGO Marvel range continuing to seek inspiration from the Infinity Saga, one of the upcoming new 2023 sets heads back to Avengers Infinity War and the...
76244: Miles Morales Vs. Morbius Set Review
With the latest trailer for Across the Spider-verse being released this week, two of Sony’s most recent Marvel efforts collide in the first of my 2023 set reviews. LEGO® Marvel continues to impress with a steady stream of new sets continuing to be released. Their inspiration comes from many different places and this particular set is inspired by the wider Marvel universe. Although the lead character is Spider-Man stand-in Miles...
The LEGO Story Book Review
LEGO® Books come in many forms and cover many aspects of the brand and its fandom. But the book I’m taking a look at today is unlike most other titles. As the name suggests, it tells the story of the LEGO brand from the very beginning, that’s even before a single wooden toy was ever crafted. The history of the LEGO Group is a long one and over that time many things have happened. This book offers an in-depth recollection...
75574: Toruk Makto & Tree of Souls Set Review
It seems inevitable that there would be LEGO sets based on Avatar. It’s perfectly suited for LEGO set standards – magical worlds, unique-looking characters, fantasy conflict and space crafts. The only surprise is that it took so long for them to arrive. When Avatar was released in 2009 it changed cinema forever and became one of the highest-grossing films of all time. So the return of a multi-billion movie franchise is...
LEGO 2022 Holiday Employee Gift Hands-on
As a LEGO® Ambassador, I’m lucky enough to receive a wonderful Christmas gift from the folks at the LEGO Group. It’s not just us Ambassadors who are graced by some festive generosity. Every year members of the LEGO Design Teams create festive-themed sets, with one being chosen to become the set gifted at Christmas. The chosen set then gets given to all LEGO employees. Thanks to the AFOL Engagement Team, all of the Ambassadors and...
71411: The Mighty Bowser Super Mario Set Review
Although my gaming journey began with Atari and currently continues with PlayStation, I have a big soft spot for Nintendo and own every one of their gaming systems. When the LEGO Super Mario line was first announced it filled me with joy to see two passions combine. The Mario sets can be split into three categories – Expansion Sets, Character Packs and D2C sets. For many fans, it’s those ‘Direct to Customer’...
