LEGO Great Pyramid Of Giza Now Available
The LEGO® Architecture Great Pyramid of Giza set is now available. The new set is based on what the iconic Egyptian structure would look like when it was first built. As well as the ornate white coloured exterior, the set also features a cross-section of the interior of the pyramid and a section of the Nile river.

Creator Expert Officially Becoming LEGO ICONS
For many years the Creator Expert branding has featured on sets aimed at older builders. That was before the LEGO Group started to cater directly for the adult fanbase with 18+ sets. The new packaging design dropped the branding and instead the sets were referred to as LEGO® for Adults. However, this was not communicated on the boxes with most retailers using the Adults Welcome branding to group together the sets. To make matters even...

75341: Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder Set Review
The X-34 Landspeeder may not have helped the rebellion take down the Death Star-like an X-wing or enforce Imperial might like the TIE Fighter or even complete the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs like the Millenium Falcon. But if you need to get some power converters, boy-oh-boy are you in luck. It’s fair to say the Landspeeder isn’t the most exciting craft to be found in the Star Wars universe but it’s still quite...

LEGO Jurassic Park Diorama Now Available
Back in 1993, a film was released that changed cinema forever. Jurassic Park was a wonder, bringing dinosaurs to life for a new generation. I fondly remember seeing it in the cinema more than once and being a little terrified of the raptors, even when I knew what was going to happen. It’s a movie that’s stayed with me for a long time. So it always delights me when the LEGO® Jurassic World theme delves into its history and...
10309: LEGO Botanical Collection Succulents Set Review
Joining the recently revealed LEGO® Botanical Collection Orchid is a group of different plants collectively known as Succulents. These are defined as small plants with thick fleshy leaves to help retain moisture. In nature this makes them thrive in dry conditions, in the home it makes them great for people who may not be considered green-fingered. But even if you can’t keep alive plants that need very little watering, the LEGO...
