LEGO Super Mario Adventure Maker Set In Action
One of the most interesting additions to the LEGO® Super Mario range is the new Master Your Own Adventure Maker sets. It’s almost on the same scale as the Starter Pack and introduces some fun new play features. One such feature is the ability to program item blocks using the Customisation Machine. Something which is best shown than written about, which is where this new official video comes in useful. Although I wouldn’t...
71386: LEGO Super Mario Character Pack – Series 2 Review
For the last 35 years, Mario has encountered a vast array of foes. With each new Mario adventure, new enemies pop up across the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond.

LEGO Super Mario Tanooki & Penguin Power-Up Packs Review
Mario is best known as a plumber but over his 35-year history, he’s dabbled in many other roles, many of which have seen him slip into a number of odd outfits.

21165: The Bee Farm LEGO Minecraft Set Review
It’s been a long time since I’ve built a LEGO® Minecraft set, so long, in fact, I’ve surprised the theme is still seeing new releases. But just like the Minecraft game, the LEGO theme based on it has evolved over the years to feature many of the new elements introduced in the game. LEGO and Minecraft is the perfect match, so much so that many years ago the LEGO Group and Mojang discussed blending the brands into a...

Light Brick Studios Set To Become Independent
Back in late 2019, a new game studio emerged called Light Brick Studios. They began as a newly formed in-house game studio within the LEGO Group and their first title was the delightful Apple Arcade exclusive, Builder’s Journey. The small studio is now being spun out of the LEGO umbrella to become an independent developer. This has been achieved thanks to an investment from LEGO Ventures.
