76231: Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar Review
Despite giving a daily recap of each of the LEGO® Advent Calendars for the last few years, I’ve never actually reviewed one, until now.

71409: Big Spike’s Cloudtop Challenge Set Review
The latest wave of LEGO® Super Mario sets is mostly inspired by the more recent Mario games, with a heavy focus on the Wii U era of games. Although many of the enemies featured in these games have a long history within the world of Mario. This is the case with the set as both characters debuted in Super Mario Bros. 3 but their LEGO designs are inspired by their modern-day appearances. It’s another Expansion Set which is filled...

With more recent games, changing costumes has been more widespread with other Mushroom Kingdom characters having gained the ability.
