40806: Gingerbread AT-AT Walker Set Review
The LEGO® Star Wars universe has a surprising affinity for the festive period. Along with several years’ worth of LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendars, in 2020, Disney+ aired an animated special dubbed the LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special. This used Life Day as a backdrop for festive celebrations in a galaxy far, far away. The special was accompanied by the first retail Christmas Star Wars set, featuring a festively decorated section...
41843: Family Christmas Tree Decoration Review
For many years, LEGO® bricks have been used to celebrate seasonal moments. One such occasion is Christmas. Over the years, the festive period has been commemorated with small novelties, including scenes and decorations. Ever-growing festive displays have been shaped with the beloved Winter Village sets, and the countdown to Christmas has been marked with a range of brick-filled Advent Calendars.

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...

40743: Christmas Table Decoration Set Review
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. This year is no different but there’s a running theme of plants. Along with the two Botanicals sets, there’s also another plant-themed build which can be used to jazz up a table this Christmas. Here’s a closer look at the LEGO...
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?...
40658: Millennium Falcon Holiday Diorama Set Review
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...
