10331: Kingfisher Bird Set Review
LEGO® Icons has rapidly become an impressive showcase of the creativity of LEGO building. The theme has featured everything from highly detailed buildings to iconic cars. It’s also been the home to the wide-reaching LEGO Botanical Collection, which has used LEGO elements to recreate plants and flowers. With the Botanical Collection having the flora covered, this upcoming set branches out to the fauna. Ahead of its release on...

76279: Spider-Man Race Car & Venom Green Goblin Set Review
I’ve never fully understood why a teenager from New York, with the power of a spider, would need such an extensive collection of spider-themed vehicles. But one thing for sure is they certainly offer great inspiration for various LEGO® sets and the latest to be released is the Spider-Man Race Car. A running trend of recent Marvel sets seems to be the creeping menace of the alien symbiote Venom. Along with infecting other Marvel...
76964: Dinosaur Fossils: T. rex Skull Set Review
It’s always fun when a long-running theme starts to venture beyond its usual pattern of sets to try something new. A great example is this is the much-maligned Harry Potter theme, which does a great job of offering normal playsets and builds that offer something different. Now the Jurassic franchise isn’t supported by any upcoming movies and the 30th anniversary of Jurassic Park is over, new sets are seeking inspiration...

42639: Andrea’s Modern Mansion Set Review
Although the new LEGO® Friends sets are focused on the adventures of a new gang of characters, the theme hasn’t forgotten its roots. The original Friends are still out and about in Heartlake City and they appear to be doing well for themselves. After Mia made an appearance with her daughter Autumn in one of the first of the rebooted sets, all of the original characters are back in this new set. It’s also a set which boasts...
LEGO 2024 Polybags Hands-on Part 1
One of the yearly LEGO® highlights continues to be low-cost polybag sets. These little tasters of various themes appear everywhere, from promotions run in LEGO stores or online, at LEGOLAND stores, supermarkets and even magazines. Admittedly, they aren’t always the easiest to track down. However, availability is improving, and some polybags released this year are available from online retailer Brick-a-brac. I’ve split them into...
76281: X-Men X-Jet Set Review
The X-Men has been a popular part of the Marvel universe since the early 60s. In the early 90’s they leapt to the small screen in the iconic X-Men: The Animated Series. They also lit up the big screen in Fox’s Marvel Universe. Now back under the creative control of Marvel Studios, Mutant-kind is slowly being introduced into the MCU and one of the first major X-Men projects is the continuation of the animated series.
