77002: Cyclone vs. Metal Sonic Set Review
With the third Sonic movie due next month, January 1st will welcome three new LEGO® Sonic the Hedgehog sets. I have the privilege of being able to take a look at the new sets early and the one I’ll be focusing on in this preview is Cyclone vs. Metal Sonic. It’s one of only a couple of Sonic sets not to feature the Blue Blur but the lack of a certain speedy hedgehog is more than compensated for by the inclusion of another unique...
10359: Fountain Garden Set Review
It’s time to kick off the 2025 set reviews with a look at the LEGO® Icons Fountain Garden. The recently revealed set is part of the newly dubbed ‘Gardens of the World’ Subtheme. It follows the release of what is now technically the first set in the line-up, the Japanese inspired Tranquil Garden set, released last year. The Fountain Garden encapsulates a tranquil Spanish space, filled with water features, plants and...
40743: Christmas Table Decoration Set Review
For many years, the festive season has been celebrated with several seasonal LEGO® sets. Christmas builds have included the annual Winter Village buildings, festive characters and decorations. This year is no different but there’s a running theme of plants. Along with the two Botanicals sets, there’s also another plant-themed build which can be used to jazz up a table this Christmas. Here’s a closer look at the LEGO...
10330: McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna Set Review
Back in September, the LEGO Group announced a new partnership with Formula 1. Throughout 2025, there will be multiple F1 sets released across numerous themes. But you haven’t got to wait until the new year for a fix of LEGO® F1. A recent LEGO Icons vehicle celebrated to true racing icon and offered a taste of things to some. Ayrton Senna dominated the racing scene between 1984 and his death in the mid-90s. His most successful...
10391: Over the Moon with Pharrell Williams Set Review
Pharrell Williams’ Piece By Piece finally arrives in UK cinemas today, albeit on a limited release. Nevertheless, it’s the ideal time to take a brief look at the accompanying LEGO® set. The Over the Moon with Pharrell Williams set is inspired by the new film which recounts the music producer’s life story through a LEGO lens. Piece By Piece is animated in the style of previous LEGO movies but that’s where the...
76296: New Captain America Figure Review
Buildable LEGO® figures aren’t a new concept, it’s been used to create bigger characters for many years. The most recent crop of Construction Figures began in 2022 with Iron Man and soon expanded to include several other Marvel characters. The format’s been revisited for Marvel Studios’ upcoming film, Captain America: Brave New World. This time it’s the turn of Sam Wilson’s Captain America. After...

Marvel Studios’ big screen output has been a little light this year but that hasn’t stopped the LEGO Group looking ahead to next year. In February, Captain America returns in Brave New World. This sees Sam Wilson fully embrace the role of Captain America and is called into action by Thaddeus Ross, now president of the United States. This set is inspired by moments from the latest MCU adventure and features a vehicle and...
21353: The Botanical Garden Set Review
LEGO® Ideas has become one of my favourite themes. The variety of sets it offers is pretty impressive and that’s perfectly showcased over the last few LEGO Ideas sets. Hot on the heels of sets inspired by classic Disney films and the festively spooky The Nightmare Before Christmas is a Victorian-style ‘hothouse’ Botanical Garden. I must admit when it was revealed that the fan design which inspired this set had been...
