71411: The Mighty Bowser Super Mario Set Review
Although my gaming journey began with Atari and currently continues with PlayStation, I have a big soft spot for Nintendo and own every one of their gaming systems. When the LEGO Super Mario line was first announced it filled me with joy to see two passions combine. The Mario sets can be split into three categories – Expansion Sets, Character Packs and D2C sets. For many fans, it’s those ‘Direct to Customer’...

80039: The Heavenly Realms Set Review
Despite the theme’s limited availability, LEGO® Monkie Kid has rapidly become the go-to theme for wacky minifigures and impressive builds.

Flower Fruit Mountain and The City of Lanterns were amazing sets but do they have some competition from the set I’m taking a look at today? The...
