10782: Hulk vs. Rhino Truck Showdown Set Review
Since introducing a range of sets for younger builders previously known as Juniors, the theme has changed a little to simply be easy-to-build sets within other themes dubbed 4+. Regardless of how they are marketed, 4+ sets have been the source of some unique licenses and in turn some often unique characters. After The Incredibles, Toy Story and Mickey & Friends it’s the turn of Marvel and the Disney Junior series, Spidey and...
BricksMax LEGO Home Alone Lighting Kit Review
As many of us will have now taken down our decorations, it’s time to look towards Christmas 2022. A few weeks ago I shared my Christmas LEGO display and this year I decided to illuminate it thanks to a light kit from Lightalling/Bricksmax. They kindly provided the kit for free and the kit I was sent was for the LEGO Ideas Home Alone set. LEGO Light kits can be tricky to install but this one has a couple of things to make the...
21331: LEGO Ideas Sonic The Hedgehog Set Review
Back in the ’80s gaming was a newly emerging pastime, Atari and Nintendo consoles were taking living rooms by storm whilst SEGA commanded the arcades. But by the ’90s SEGA wanted a bigger slice of the home console market and they needed something to face off against the might of Mario.

Each year as the new sets are slowly revealed, either official or not, I decide what I wouldn’t mind buying. Sometimes new parts or Minifigures play a role in my decisions. Then I see a retailer selling sets early and end up buying stuff I hadn’t planned to. I have to admit that’s the case with this set. However, after building it, I’m glad I picked it up as it’s a fun build and it has plenty of play...
71400: Big Urchin Beach Ride Set Review
For the final of my LEGO® Super Mario 2022 Expansion Set reviews, we stay on the beach with a face-off with Big Urchin. This is one of the largest of the upcoming expansion sets and includes a number of really fun play features, in particular, a rollercoaster track-mounted dolphin and a bridge flanked by a pair of Cheep Cheeps. But what does it add to the already bustling world of LEGO Super Mario and is it worth adding to your...
71398: Dorrie’s Beachfront LEGO Set Review
It’s not just Luigi getting in on the LEGO® Super Mario Expansion Set action this January, as his big bro is back with a couple of sets of his own. They are quite the opposite of the dark and spooky offering from Luigi, as Mario’s sets take the plucky plumber to the sunny beaches of the Mushroom Kingdom. The smallest of the two Mario Expansion Sets is Dorrie’s Beachfront. As the name suggests it gives off some sunny...
71402: LEGO Super Mario S4 Character Packs Review
The LEGO® Super Mario Character Packs have introduced all sorts of friends and foe from across the Mushroom Kingdom. They often include some of the lesser-known ones and this is the first series to really offer something unique as all the characters are new faces and not simply variants of previously seen ones. Similar to LEGO Minifigures, these blind bagged mini sets feature one of ten different collectible characters from a range of...
