76289: Thor vs. Surtur Construction Figure Review
Thor’s journey in the MCU has been an interesting one. After the first two Thor films, the third embraces the absurdity of a race of alien gods with Thor: Ragnarok. In the opening moments of the film, Thor is found chained in a cage, captured by the fire demon Surtur. The prophecy that Asgard would fall during Ragnarok came true as Surtur was released and rained terror on Thor’s world. It’s those moments which has...

10338: Bumblebee TRANSFORMERS Set Review
For many years, two titans of their craft have been bitter rivals. The LEGO Group and Hasbro’s relationship couldn’t be considered friendly. In 2011, Hasbro marketed a range of familiar-looking construction toys, under the ‘KRE-O’ brand in direct competition with the LEGO® product range. It’s a face-off which could be compared to the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons. So when rumours of a LEGO...

Friends Reunited: When LEGO Legends Return
With inspiration from numerous movies, games and TV shows, LEGO® sets have connective stories woven into them.
