21359: Italian Riviera Set Review
LEGO® Ideas continues to deliver the most diverse array of LEGO builds of any other theme. The latest to join the ever-growing line-up of fan-designed sets is the Italian Riviera. The 3251-piece set is inspired by a quaint, sun-kissed Italian village, nestled among rocks and lapped by the blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Thanks to being based on an original idea, the set is free to go all in on detail, and it’s packed with...
72041: Party At Toad’s House Set Review
Toads have been loyal servants to the Mushroom Kingdom’s royal family. They are often found in royal residences or providing other useful services. They have also appeared in numerous past LEGO® Super Mario sets, including several themed around Toad’s unique homes. Toads are often depicted living in Mushroom-shaped huts, and this upcoming expansion set is just that —a Mushroom house that is home to a pair of Toads....
72038: Mario Kart – Wario & King Boo Set Review
Earlier this year, the LEGO® Super Mario theme expanded to include sets inspired by Nintendo’s long-running racer, Mario Kart. These still feature Action Tags and the ability to be integrated alongside other LEGO Mario sets, but focus on karts rather than sections of scenery. Several karts and bikes from Mario Kart, along with their drivers, have already been transformed into sets, but the set I’m taking a look at in this review...
72040: Captain Toad’s Camp Set Review
Toads have been a part of the Mario universe since the Super Mario Bros. game, where they helpfully informed Mario that his search for the Princess would need to continue onto the next castle. As well as being the collective name for the mushroom-like folk, Toad, as a character, has also appeared in other titles such as Mario Kart, Smash Bros. and Mario Tennis. An adventurous Toad, called Captain Toad, appeared in unique minigames in...
75413: Republic Juggernaut Set Review
If you thought the upcoming Battle Pack was controversial, it appears to have nothing on this new LEGO® Star Wars set. The set in question is the latest take on the Juggernaut Turbo Tank. This large, multi-wheeled ground assault vehicle first appeared in Revenge of the Sith. But it was conceived for the Battle of Hoth scene in Empire Strikes Back, before being replaced by the much cooler-looking AT-ATs. There have been several LEGO...
75435: Battle Of Felucia Separatist MTT Set Review
During the early stages of the Clone Wars, the Separatists had a major advantage thanks to their endless supply of Battle Droids. The B1 ‘Clankers’ would be deployed to the battlefield by Multi-troop Transporters or MTTs. These large armoured vehicles could hold multiple Battle Droids, as well as acting as a command centre for more advanced Droids. In live-action, the MTTs were depicted as large, brown-coloured vehicles. However, in...
75414: The Force Burner Snowspeeder Set Review
As part of last year’s LEGO Star Wars 25th anniversary celebrations, Lucasfilm created an original animated series for Disney+. LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy took an unusual look at the well-known galaxy far, far away. After accidentally removing the cornerstone, the galaxy is rebuilt, but not as we knew it. The animated show featured unique versions of classic characters and iconic ships. The series has inspired a trio of...
10358: Transformers Soundwave Set Review
In 2022, LEGO® history was made when bitter rivals joined forces. No, the Autobots and Decepticons hadn’t agreed on a power-sharing agreement, but the LEGO Group had partnered with Hasbro for the first LEGO Transformers set. As an 80s kid, being able to build a transforming LEGO version of the Autobot leader, Optimus Prime, was a delight. That delight continued with last year’s Bumblebee set. But as the Autobot forces amass, the...
