What’s next for Nintendo and LEGO?
No matter what your gaming affiliation is, Nintendo will have influenced you in some way. As a long time gamer myself, Nintendo has played a big part in my gaming adventures. I fondly remember stepping out onto Hyrule Field for the first time in Ocarina of Time, marvelling at the Rumble Pak which came with Lylat Wars (Star Fox 64 for some), getting the first import copy of a little-known game called Pokémon in Leicester, spending...

A Look At LEGO…. Fairgrounds
With the announcement of a new LEGO® fairground set, I thought it was the perfect time to take a look at some of the other sets which are part of the same style of sets.

Plus sets from the Creator 3-in-1 and Hidden Side themes. There are many...

Building The LEGO Disney Train & Station
Disney Plus is just under a week away for those of us in the UK and parts of Europe, so it’s the perfect time to take a look at the LEGO® Disney Train & Station set. The set was released last year and it’s the second large-scale Disney set based on an iconic area of Disney Theme Parks. It’s also the first Disney set to feature Powered Up functions. One of the biggest draws of the set is the inclusion of an...
Great Sets To Build If You’re In Self-isolation
As Coronvirus spreads across the globe, those who are struck down with it or come in contact with people who have it, are advised to self-isolate for 2 weeks. Staying inside for 336 hours could send you a little stir-crazy and there is only so much TV you can watch before you are bored to the extreme. So you could spend your time catching up on a little LEGO building. But which sets could you tackle with all this free time?...
LEGO Modulars Once You Pop You Just Stop
Just before Christmas, I got to build my first ever LEGO® Creator Expert Modular set, as I reviewed this year’s latest addition to the popular line, the Bookshop.
