11202: Bluey’s Beach & Family Car Trip Set Preview
Since Bluey and her family were first introduced, the popularity of the show has soared, thanks in part to being available on Disney+ as well as local broadcasters. Fans have hoped for the animated show to inspire LEGO® builds, and those wishes were answered earlier this year. As mentioned in my preview of the smallest of the upcoming Bluey 4+ playsets, the simple nature of their builds does not need to have an in-depth essay....
11201: Playground Fun With Bluey & Chloe Set Preview
Earlier this year, the LEGO Group announced a long-awaited partnership with smash hit animated series Bluey. The Australian cartoon began in 2018 and has gone on to become a global hit, also airing on the BBC and Disney+. The Bluey LEGO® sets encompass the DUPLO and 4+ themes, which both offer easy-to-build playsets for younger LEGO builders to enjoy. Due to the simple nature of the builds, I won’t be going in-depth in their...
76327: Iron Man MK4 Bust Collection Review
Since the Marvel theme was introduced in 2012, it has mostly sought inspiration from Marvel Studios’ long-running and interconnected universe. As the MCU has expanded, so has the offering from the LEGO® Marvel range. Beyond playsets, we have seen the Helmet Collection, buildable props and even a brick-built recreation of the Marvel logo. Last month, the LEGO Marvel theme revealed a new subtheme called the Bust Collection. This...
10352: The Simpsons: Krusty Burger Set Review
The Simpsons LEGO® journey began in early 2014, with the release of The Simpsons House. The Brick-built recreation of 742 Evergreen Terrace featured all five main Simpson family members and their long-suffering neighborino, Ned Flanders. The minifigure line-up expanded later that year with a Simpsons-themed series of Collectable Minifigures. The partnership between the LEGO Group and The Simpsons was marked with a special episode of...
40787: Mario Kart – Spiny Shell Set Review
As the new LEGO® Mario Kart set speeds onto sale today, it’s joined by a unique Insiders reward inspired by an iconic in-game weapon. Introduced in Mario Kart 64, the Spiny Shell is a blue Koopa-like shell which can home in on the leader of a race in Nintendo’s popular karting series. They are more powerful variants of the red shell weapons, which can be fired at the nearest racer. The function and appearance of the Spiny...
40767: Up-Scaled Baby Astronaut GWP Review
Fans of Classic Space can add a unique space-themed set to their collection, thanks to the latest GWP set. Minifigures are an iconic symbol of LEGO fandom, and in 2021, they were super-sized for a Harry Potter set. This upscaled the minifigure to be almost 6 times bigger than a standard minifigure. The same concept has since been used for a generic minifigure, a Race Car Driver and a LEGO House exclusive Pirate. Now, another type of...
75399: Rebel U-Wing Starfighter Set Review
As the second season of Andor comes to an end on Disney+, it seems a fitting moment to take a look at the recently released LEGO® Star Wars sets inspired by the show. Andor is a prequel series to the Star Wars prequel film, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. It tells how the Rebellion was born and will lead directly to the events of Rogue One. The show is named after one of the Rebels’ earliest members, Cassian Andor, who features in...
76972: Raptor Off-Road Escape Set Review
Although it appears Jurassic World: Rebirth will introduce several new dinosaur species, there will be plenty of old favourites making a return. This set features the much-loved and deadly Raptor, which is joined by an infant Aquilops. But it’s not just dinosaur features in the set, it also includes a Jurassic-themed vehicle and a rather exciting bush. No, I’m not being sarcastic; the bush in this set offers a fun play...
