21360: Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory Set Review
Back in 1971, Warner Bros. Pictures adapted Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, into an iconic film, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Starring Gene Wilder as the eccentric chocolatier, the film has since become a cultural icon. It tells the story of a contest to win a visit to Wonka’s mysterious chocolate factory. Those who found a Golden Ticket in one of Wonka’s bars would get to meet...
75689: Emerald City & Kiamo Ko Castle Set Review
The Wizard of Oz and its various companion pieces feature many iconic locations. But since the release of Wicked, those locations have been fleshed out to become major parts of Glinda and Elphaba’s backstory. This upcoming LEGO® Wicked set features two buildable structures, the colourful Emerald City and the dark, foreboding Kiamo Ko Castle. Both are packed with neat details and Easter Eggs related to the upcoming Wicked sequel and...
76319: Captain America Vs. Thanos Set Review
In a world of ever-increasing sets designed for adult LEGO® fans, there are still builds for kids. The LEGO 4+ sets provide a stepping stone from DUPLO to standard LEGO sets. They offer simpler builds for younger LEGO fans to enjoy with easy-to-follow instructions, no stickers and unique Starter Bricks for many of the most popular LEGO themes. The latest wave of LEGO Marvel sets includes one 4+ set, which is inspired by Captain...
71499: Mateo’s Spray Paint Truck Set Review
In a world where many LEGO® ‘fans’ are obsessed with holes in helmets and the lack of print on legs, some amazing sets from original themes are being overlooked. I’ve always had a soft spot for LEGO sets from themes unofficially dubbed ‘Big Bang’ or ‘in/out’. In basic terms, themes are not based on third-party IPs. The current ‘Big Bang’ is LEGO DREAMZzz, which pits a gang of creative kids who help defend the Dream...
75417: AT-ST Walker UCS Set Review
Normally, when a new LEGO® Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series set is announced, a bigger deal is made about it. But when the AT-ST Walker was revealed, it was merely included with the other recently revealed sets. Despite its underwhelming reveal, a new UCS set should still offer some level of excitement. Especially for a Star Wars vehicle which has only ever been the subject of one previous UCS set. The last time the Imperial AT-ST...
72043: Interactive LEGO Mario & Standard Kart Review
One of the core play features of the entire LEGO Super Mario theme is the interactive figures. When the theme launched in 2020, the Adventures with Mario set included the first interactive figure. Mario was later joined by Luigi and Princess Peach, who also appeared in their own Starter Course sets. Last year, all three interactive figures were repackaged in new Starter Courses, which included an interactive figure and various bits...
75638: Battle At Arlong Park Set Review
As well as being wanted by the Marines, Luffy and his reluctant crew are also on the radar of the Fish-Men. The sea-loving amphibious folk already have a bone to pick with the humans, but Luffy’s insistence on sticking up for those in need puts him directly in the path of the feared Fish-Men leader, Arlong. The Straw Hat Pirates soon find themselves at Nami’s home, Coco Village, which has been destroyed by Arlong. So Luffy and co head...
76317: Peter Parker’s Apartment Set Review
Several new LEGO® Marvel sets have been released today, and among them are a few inspired by the world of Spider-Man. Unlike many of the Marvel sets, this one is merely inspired by the Marvel universe, rather than being based on a specific part of it, such as the MCU. It also includes a few decent minifigures, including the return of the Hobgoblin and Anti-Venom’s second outing for 2025. Here’s a look at the mini modular...
