76262: Captain America’s Shield Review
What started as a mere Easter Egg, glimpsed during Iron Man 2, Captain America’s Shield has become an iconic MCU prop. In Marvel lore, Captain America’s patriotic-themed shield is crafted from the super rare Wakanda ore, Vibranium. First crafted by Howard Stark for Steve Rogers to use during World War II, the shield has been present at key moments during the MCU’s long and connected history. Now it joins an...
60391: Construction Trucks & Wrecking Ball Crane Review
LEGO® City has been providing an interesting array of sets for a number of years. The theme is often a great route into LEGO building for many younger LEGO fans. This particular set is an interesting introduction to LEGO building, offering easy-to-build elements and unique Starter Bricks. The Construction Trucks and Wreaking Ball Crane set is one of the bigger 4+ sets and features a variety of vehicles and a wreckable wall....
76263: Iron Man Hulkbuster Vs. Thanos Set Review
There are LEGO® sets for all ages and to bridge the gap between DUPLO and standard LEGO sets, the LEGO 4+ line was introduced. Previously known as LEGO Juniors, these easy-to-build sets were later integrated into various LEGO themes. As part of the recent wave of LEGO Marvel sets, a small 4+ set was included featuring Iron Man and Thanos. Here’s a closer look at this simple little set. Product Details Set Name: Iron Man...
76261: Spider-Man Final Battle Set Review
As the Avengers Endgame Final Battle set has shown us, there’s a benefit to having a set released long after the film was. LEGO® sets inspired by movies often walk a very fine line. In order to be released alongside movies as they hit cinemas, sets are often based on concept material. In the case of the Marvel films, they also have to keep key plot points under wraps. This can lead to some interesting sets, many of which have...
60368: Arctic Explorer Ship Set Review
For my next LEGO® City 2023 set reviews, it’s time to take a look at the last of the Arctic Explorer sets and one of the biggest sets released as part of the Summer wave. The LEGO City Explorers have been venturing across the Arctic Tundra and deep into the icy oceans in search of past treasures and magnificent wildlife. Other Arctic Explorer sets have featured a sub, a mobile HQ and a mini boat, but they all pale in comparison...
76232: The Hoopty Marvel Set Review
Spanning 15 years and over 30 movies plus several streaming series, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has acted as inspiration for a large number of LEGO® sets. Many of the entries have been marked with a single set and that’s the case with the upcoming MCU entry, The Marvels. The film acts as a sequel to Captain Marvel, as well as a continuation of the Disney+ series, Ms. Marvel and WandaVision. The set in question is the ship used...
60367: Passenger Airplane Set Review
The newly released Concorde set isn’t the aircraft which has launched this month. The folk of LEGO® City can once again take flight in a brand-new Passenger Airplane. Planes have evolved quite a lot over the years. One of the first LEGO sets I had as a kid was the 6392: Airport which had a small brick-built plane, but the one in this set dwarfs it. The aircraft also uses a number of unique elements to create it, elements which...
76249: Venomised Groot Set Review
Last year, the Guardian of the Galaxy’s adorable Flora Colossus got his own animated Disney+ series. As well as having his own adventures, Groot was also the inspiration for a buildable version of his infant form. As the second season of I Am Groot arrives on Disney+ it’s the perfect time to take a look at a brand new variant of Groot, one which has been transformed by the sentient alien symbiote Venom. Although this odd...
