LEGO 2025 Polybags Hands-on Part 1
Thanks to Brick-a-brac, many of the new 2025 promotional LEGO® sets are now readily available. Commonly known as polybags among LEGO fans, they are now packaged in paper-based bags. So technically they are no longer polybags, but calling them ‘paper bags’ doesn’t sound right, although they are officially known as recruitment bags. Regardless of their packaging, these minisets are inspired by various LEGO themes and...
77003: Super Shadow Vs. Biolizard Set Review
The Sonic games have introduced a surprisingly deep lore that goes far beyond simply blasting through a level in the quickest time possible. These story elements have greatly inspired the plot of Sonic movies, with the third film borrowing heavily from Sonic Adventure 2. This game introduced Shadow the Hedgehog who also debuts in the newly released Sonic the Hedgehog 3. The set is inspired by the finale of the game in which Sonic and...

The show proved so successful, a second series is currently being filmed and it’s...

When the LEGO® Art theme was first launched it focused on mosaic-like images of pop culture icons. Each buildable image followed a similar style to create a wall-mountable picture and also offered the ability to combine sets to create larger images. But as the theme has evolved so too have the sets and the latest lets builders replicate a true masterpiece. Following LEGO Ideas’ take on a Van Gogh classic, it’s the turn of...

It’s time to start the Summer set reviews by looking at the entire new range of LEGO® Marvel sets. The first set I’m taking a look at is the recently revealed mini version of the Helicarrier.
