NINJAGO At 10: LEGO Product Prototypes
Continuing the celebration of the 10th Anniversary of LEGO® NINJAGO it’s time to take look behind the scenes at how some of the products were created.

NINJAGO At 10: Greetings From NINJAGO City
For 10 years LEGO® NINJAGO has inspired a generation to jump up, kick back, spin around and build. With the TV series still going strong, it would be the highly divisive big-screen adventure which would capture the imagination of a new fanbase. Following the success of The LEGO Movie, plans to bring the masters of Spinjitzu to the big screen were soon dusted off. A feature-length adventure was previously planned but soon lost traction...
LEGO Modulars Assembling A New Obsession
Just before Christmas 2019, before the dark times, I was offered the LEGO® Creator Expert Modular Bookshop to review. This would be my first experience building a set from the much-loved annual series of modular buildings. As I explained back then, the only reason I have never partaken in a Modular Building was lack of space and I knew once I had one I’d want more. Now just over a year on I own six sets from the newly dubbed...

LEGO Super Mario From Game To Brick

With 35 years of games to take inspiration from, the sets have done a great job of capturing iconic characters and enemies from many of them. The main man is, of course, Mario, who, in LEGO form, is a specifically created digital figure. His cubic appearance has lead the style for the rest of the buildable friends and foe,...

But it seems this may not be the case after all. A BricksFanz reader has contacted LEGO Customer Services who offered them this response to if Hidden Side is coming to an end: “How strange! I can...
Combining The LEGO Iron Man Hall Of Armoury Sets
My review of the upcoming LEGO® Marvel Iron Man Armoury proves to be popular so I decided to brave various spiders, cobwebs and possibly ghosts, to dig out the Hall of Armour set from last year, from deep with the brick-filled attic.
