40595: Tribute to Galileo Galilei GWP Review
For a number of years, LEGO® Ideas has offered fan designers the chance to have their designs turned into sets if enough people choose to back them. More recently this has evolved to also give budding LEGO Designers the opportunity to create smaller sets which could become promotional GWP sets. Although the way these sets are chosen is a little different, they still showcase some of the interesting ideas from fans. Last year, LEGO...
71426: Super Mario Piranha Plant Set Review
Every since the LEGO® Super Mario theme was introduced we’ve been treated to a number of larger scale sets aimed at adult builders. These have included a LEGO recreation of the Nintendo Entertainment System, a large ‘?’ Block filled with Mario 64 scenes and most recently an imposing brick-built Mighty Bowser. This year’s offering may not be as big or intricate compared to those sets but it still offers...
43230: Walt Disney Tribute Camera Review
The LEGO Group and the Walt Disney Company have had a long-lasting relationship. Long before plastic bricks, Disney was the very first licensed LEGO® toy. Ever since the magical world of Disney and its beloved characters have inspired many different LEGO sets. Throughout 2023, many of the LEGO Disney releases have celebrated Disney’s 100th anniversary but it’s today Disney officially marks its centenary. One of the most...
LEGO Christmas Train Puzzle Hands-on
Chronicle Books has been creating a number of interesting LEGO-branded goodies and one of their most popular releases are the LEGO® Jigsaw Puzzles. If you’ve ever completed or merely seen a jigsaw puzzle, then you pretty much know how they ‘work’. So conducting a highly detailed review of a jigsaw puzzle seems a little pointless. However, Chronicle Books has sent a few of their newly released LEGO products to take a...

60380: Downtown LEGO City Set Review
After many weeks and numerous sets, it’s finally time to check out the last of the LEGO® City Summer releases in my final LEGO City set review of 2023. The LEGO City theme has really turned things around over the last few years, with the evergreen theme introducing new concepts and moving away from constantly churning out similar Police and Fire Rescue sets. Downtown LEGO City is a great example of this and also offers the...
LEGO Marvel Visual Dictionary Book Review
With DK Books producing so many different LEGO® titles for many years now, it’s hard to believe that this is the first time LEGO Marvel has been the subject of a book. The LEGO Marvel Visual Dictionary follows a similar format as other LEGO books published by DK and offers a comprehensive guide to the many LEGO Marvel sets and minifigures from across the themes 12-year history. It also includes an exclusive LEGO Marvel...
LEGO Customisable Patch Cap Hands-on
If there is one thing for sure, LEGO® fans love a bit of nostalgia and if you add a little Bionicle into the mix, the excitement reaches fever pitch. So when I revealed the first look at possible upcoming Insider rewards a few weeks ago, the article was surprisingly popular.
