41707: Tree-Planting Vehicle Set Review

LEGO Friends has always had an odd relationship with LEGO fans. Many simply wrote it off as a girls theme and the use of Mini-dolls has always been a sticking point when compared to Minifigures. I personally have no issues with either. In fact, there have been plenty of impressive little Friends sets and they have become way more diverse over the years. Despite my appreciation for the theme, I don’t give it enough coverage, but...

76206: Iron Man Figure Set Review

Next year marks the 10th Anniversary of the LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes theme and one of the most prominent figures to appear in numerous sets is Tony Stark’s Iron Man. The set I’ll be taking a look at today brings the theme full circle as one of the first LEGO Marvel sets to be released was a buildable Iron Man figure. But there are some big differences, the set from 2012 was inspired by Marvel Comics and used the Character...

76205: Gargantos Showdown Doctor Strange Set Review

With Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in full swing, the notion that it’s ‘all connected’ has never been more true. The events of Loki, WandaVision and Spider-Man: No Way Home all tie into the events soon to be seen in Marvel Studios Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Not much is known about the Doctor Strange sequel, but it will feature the Nexus being Scarlet Witch as well as introducing...

71399: Luigi’s Mansion Entryway Set Review

Any good mansion can’t advertise itself as being somewhat spooky without providing a suitably spooky entrance. Wrought iron gates, a large creaky door and maybe someone or something peering out the windows are some of the requirements needed to offer an unexpecting guest, a worthy fright of their life. So this mid-sized LEGO Super Mario expansion set is the perfect introduction to the ghost-filled fun awaiting you inside...

71396: Bowser Jr’s Clown Car Set Review

Bowser Jr made his debut in the GameCube classic, Super Mario Sunshine, where he caused mischief on Isle Defino. As the son of King Koopa, his mischievous ways are certainly inspired by Bowser. Junior made his LEGO® debut alongside LEGO Mario in the Starter Course set and now he finally has his beloved Clown Car, to help wreak havoc on the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond. The set is actually aimed at being another interactive aspect for...

10290: Pickup Truck LEGO Set Review

Creator Expert was the home to a number of large-scale vehicles, it brought us licensed delights including the VW Camper, Ferrari F40, Aston Martin DB5 and the VW Beetle. Although the Creator Expert branding is no more, the large-scale vehicles have continued and one of the first to be released as part of the ‘LEGO for Adults’ range is the Pickup Truck. This was quietly revealed with zero fanfare earlier this year before...

75322: Hoth AT-ST Walker Set Review

Some things just go together like cheese and onion, jelly and ice cream, Starkey and Hutch, you get the picture. The same can be said for AT-ST and the first moon of Endor. Almost every single LEGO® version of this classic Star Wars vehicle is tied to Endor. But in 2022 things get chilly as the focus is very much on the ice planet of Hoth. In the last few years, there’s been a couple of different AT-ST sets both of which have...

Marking 20 Years Of LEGO Harry Potter

As time marches on, some of our favourite LEGO® themes are celebrating major milestones. Just this year LEGO NINJAGO reached the 10-year mark and LEGO Harry Potter doubled up with its 20th anniversary. The LEGO Group have really stepped things up in the celebration stakes.
