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...
80117: Good Fortune Set Review
Since 2013, the LEGO Group has celebrated the Chinese New Year with the annual ‘Year of the…’ animal promotional set. Then in 2019, the celebration of the Spring Festival was expanded to include large-scale sets similar in scope to the LEGO® Icons Winter Village Collection.

For many years, the festive season has been celebrated with several seasonal LEGO® sets. Christmas builds have included the annual Winter Village buildings, festive characters and decorations.

80112: Auspicious Dragon Set Review
This year marks the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese Zodiac. As part of the Spring Festival celebrations, the LEGO Group have released the Auspicious Dragon. Of all the Zodiac animals, the dragon is best suited to create a visually impactful display piece and a marvellous build. April will also see the return of the NINJAGO: Dragons Rising, making this month very dragon-centric. But is the set a worthy addition to your collection?...

Two words strike either fear or delight into the hearts of Star Wars fans – Holiday Special. Back in 2020, the LEGO Group teamed up with Disney to create an animated Holiday Special, one that had nothing to do with the questionable live-action special shown only once back in 1978. Both the original and Disney+ specials celebrated a holiday known as Life Day. The Disney+ Holiday Special Life Day has been given a festive twist to...

For the second year running, I’ve been given the opportunity to take a look at the LEGO® Marvel Advent Calendar. Last year’s Advent Calendar was inspired by the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. This year’s release is a little more generic and is focused on the Avengers and The Infinity Saga. As with all of the LEGO Advent Calendars, there are 24 doors to open from December 1st. Each one features a different...
