21351: The Nightmare Before Christmas Set Review
The Nightmare Before Christmas began life in 1982 as a poem written by a young Disney animator called Tim Burton. In the same year, a stop-motion short called Vincent was released and it soon led to Tim Burton developing the idea further.

21265: Minecraft The Crafting Table Set Review
This year marks the 15th anniversary of Mojang’s Minecraft. The game was first playable in 2009 before a wider rollout in 2011. The survival crafting game and the LEGO Group have an eventful history.

76286: Guardians of the Galaxy: The Milano Review
It’s been 10 years since Marvel’s biggest bunch of a-holes first appeared on the big screen. Back then the Guardians of the Galaxy were a little-known part of the wider Marvel universe.

76997: Tails’ Adventure Boat Set Review
The second of the new Summer Sonic sets is focused on Tails and his boat, the Sea Fox II. Like some of the past Sonic the Hedgehog sets, inspiration for this set is very, very loosely taken from the wider Sonic universe.

It does, however, share its name with a similar seafaring vehicle, which was a nuclear sub piloted by Tails in the Game Gear...

Groot has appeared in a few different LEGO® sets including buildable versions of the...

This year has been a little light on new Marvel content, so the LEGO® Marvel theme continues to seek inspiration for new sets from past MCU eras.

76999: Super Sonic Vs. Egg Drillster Set Review
Dr Robotnik has a history of constructing various machines to inflict his evil plans. One such machine is the Egg Drillster, which first appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
