10316: The Lord Of The Rings: Rivendell Review Pt. 1
It’s been over 20 years since Tolkien’s classic books were transformed into a trilogy of films, which are still considered cinematic masterpieces. The tales from Middle-earth followed the forming of a fellowship, who are tasked with returning the One Ring to Mordor and casting it into the fire from which it was forged. Those films led to a number of LEGO® sets inspired by the iconic trilogy of films. Even now, there is a...
LEGO 2023 Polybags Hands-on Part 2
After already taking a look at a few of the new 2023 LEGO® Polybags range, it’s time for the second part of my hands-on look at more of the latest promotional minisets. These new sets are also from online retailer Brick-a-brac and some of them are also available from selected Tesco stores. Look out for the usual boxes filled with a selection of different sets. The ones I’m looking at today include more from LEGO City and...
41730: Autumn’s House Set Review
Although the new range of LEGO® Friends sets is focused on a new generation of characters, they haven’t forgotten their roots. The 10 previous years of characters and storytelling haven’t been wiped away and the history of Heartlake City remains in place, even if the original five girls have gone on to have new adventures. One of them is all grown up and has remained in Heartlake City with her new family. But which of the...
41743: Hair Salon Set Review
It’s time for another LEGO® Friends set review and a look at the last of the smaller-scale sets. Hair Salons have been been the inspiration for a few previous Friends sets including one released in 2020. This is almost a remake of that set, as it features plenty of similar traits. But it still offers something new and is the largest of the Hair Salons to be featured in the LEGO Friends theme. Has a new generation of characters...
41751: Skate Park Set Review
As LEGO® Friends embarks on a two-month celebration of friendship and diversity, my reviews of the new sets continue. After a focus on animal-themed builds, it’s time to get adventurous with a trip to Heartlake City’s Skate Park. From pulling off kick-flips on the colourful ramps or hanging out in the clubhouse, the Skate Park is an interesting set but is it worth its price tag? Read on for my hands-on look at the new LEGO...
41742: Cat Hotel Set Review
As the canine residents of Heartlake City are being left at bus stops and lost in bushes, the cats are lording it up in their very own hotel. A luxurious place to relax, chill and scratch some furniture. The Cat Hotel is one of the mid-sized sets and expands on the narrative introduced in the LEGO® Friends theme this year. For my next LEGO Friend set review, I’ll be taking a look at another of the animal-themed builds with the...
Dog Rescue Centre & Dog Rescue Bike Set Reviews
I still have quite a few LEGO® Friends sets to take a look at so in order to get through them, my reviews will be a little briefer with a focus on showcasing the set through images and any unique pieces or features. So on to the next sets and a closer look at both the Dog Rescue Centre and the Dog Rescue Bike. After the bleakness of the Dog Rescue Van and its abandoned disabled dog, these two companion sets paint a much brighter...
Captain Rex & Commander Cody Helmet Sets Review
After both sets were revealed yesterday, today I get to bring you my review of the two Clone Wars-themed additions to the LEGO® Star Wars Helmet Collection range. This year makes the 20th anniversary of the Clone Wars sub-brand of the wider Star Wars universe. Before the complaints begin, the 20th anniversary is being celebrated from the introduction of the animated Star Wars: Clone Wars series by Cartoon Network Studios and Genndy...
