41744: Sports Center Set Review
There are plenty of things to do in Heartlake City and the new LEGO® Friends gang has a brand new Sports Center to enjoy.

This new set features a similar collection of activities and expands to include a multipurpose sports pitch. Continuing my look at the Summer LEGO...
75365: Yavin 4 Rebel Base Set Review
When Star Wars was first released in 1977, it not only changed cinema forever it was a film filled with iconic moments. Even though it would be many years later before I experienced a galaxy far, far away, one particular moment stood out for me. In the closing moment of A New Hope, the Empire’s Death Star has been destroyed and the Rebel forces gather on Yavin IV to celebrate their victory. As John Williams’ rousting score...

What do you get when you combine LEGO® City Stuntz with everyone’s favourite blue hedgehog? It’s a pretty safe bet that it will have a passing resemblance to the largest of the upcoming new sets inspired by SEGA’s Sonic the Hedgehog. After first visiting the Green Hill Zone with last year’s Sonic-inspired LEGO Ideas set, this set returns to that iconic location and takes a stab at replicating the fast-paced...

Many of those have been inspired by key moments from the various Harry Potter films. They can also be connected together to craft a larger version of the iconic magical school.

76960: Brachiosaurus Discovery Set Review
It’s been 30 years since Jurassic Park arrived in cinemas and it changed movies forever. It also ignited a new interest in dinosaurs and the eras in which these prehistoric beasts ruled the Earth. The interest in dinosaurs was so strong, it inspired the LEGO® theme called LEGO Dino, which introduced a number of LEGO dinosaur figures. Many of those have continued to be used in the LEGO Jurassic World sets, which have now evolved...
