Review: LEGO 60368 Arctic Explorer Ship

May 21, 2023 By Jay Ong 9 Comments

We’re kicking off the Summer 2023 LEGO City reviews with a big one, 60368 Arctic Explorer Ship one of my most anticipated sets from this wave! Summer 2023 LEGO City contains a small subtheme of Arctic Exploration sets which blends influences from Arctic and Divers into a small, but potent selection of Science and Exploration-themed…

Review: LEGO 60354 Mars Spacecraft Exploration Missions

June 24, 2022 By Jay Ong 8 Comments

As part of LEGO City’s Summer 2022 slate, LEGO have released a new play and building experienced for young builders – LEGO City Missions, with 3 sets in the sub-theme that replace traditional paper-based building instructions with a new interactive digital experience. The new guided digital building experience, combines story-telling and LEGO City Adventures-like animated…

Review: LEGO 60347 Grocery Store

June 17, 2022 By Jay Ong 15 Comments

The LEGO City Summer 2022 wave has been a refreshing breath of fresh air, with a triumphant return to the simpler things in life – like a barn filled with animals, and for the first time in LEGO City history – a Grocery Store! 60347 Grocery Store is a momentous occasion for LEGO City. Despite…

Review: LEGO 60346 Barn & Farm Animals

May 28, 2022 By Jay Ong 5 Comments

Being in Australia sometimes has it perks, as I was able to get my hands on 60346 Barn & Farm Animals early from my local Big W. The Summer LEGO City 2022 sets head to the farm after a really long hiatus (the last proper City 7637 Farm set was in 2009!), this time in…

Review: LEGO 60271 Main Square

December 17, 2020 By Jay Ong 6 Comments

2020 has been an exceptional year for LEGO and choosing what set to spend your limited budgets on has never been more important. While the most notable (and expensive!) sets have been dominated by LEGO’s adult-focused 18+ line, and the bevy of outstanding LEGO Ideas sets (like Sesame Street!), LEGO have also introduced some higher…

Review: LEGO 60173 Mountain Arrest

March 27, 2018 By Jay Ong 16 Comments

I typically only buy LEGO City sets when they’re non-City related. Deep Sea Exploration, Arctic, and last year’s Jungle are consistent draws for me thanks to the exotic settings and presence of new animal moulds. In 2018, LEGO City returns to the Mountains for a small Mountain Police sub-theme that bears many similarities (such as uh,…

LEGO have revealed a whole bunch of Marvel and DC LEGO have revealed a whole bunch of Marvel and DC Comics sets including the highly anticipated 76261 Spider-Man Final Battle featuring all 3 Spider-Man from No Way Home!

Got a chance to see a preliminary model of 76261 a few months ago, and while the minifigure lineup is impressive, the model is absolutely tiny.

Venomised Groot is super cute, and the Batwing is an absolute winner at this scale and price.

This is LEGO 40364 Icons of Play, a set celebratin This is LEGO 40364 Icons of Play, a set celebrating some of the most accomplished female football players.

It features minifigures of @samanthakerr20, @mrapinoe, @yuki_nagasato and @asisat_oshoala, and is set to be released on 6 June 2023! 

I read some extremely disgusting misogynistic comments on this set, from the usual terminally-online, incel-esque dudebros who probably need to get out a little.

Women's football is on the up and up, with exponential growth in game attendance, and TV viewership, and this is really smart timing on LEGO's part, releasing this just before the FIFA Women's World Cup starts.

Women's football has massive grassroots support, and is a hugely popular sport for young girls, the very builders of tomorrow that LEGO is continually trying to inspire.

LEGO is even a sponsor of the Australian national women's team @thematildas!

It's not even a bad set, and will integrate nicely into LEGO City, with clear references to the popular Football theme from the early 2000s.

Still, it's very disappointing (but not surprising) to see large LEGO pages continue to encourage and not take a stronger stance against sexism and misogyny. 

Do better with your influence and reach.
