Review: LEGO 40643 Jade Rabbit

May 25, 2023 By Jay Ong 1 Comment

As we head into the second half of the year, we’re greeted with the next 2023 LEGO Seasonal set – 40643 Jade Rabbit! I was quite surprised for LEGO to step away from traditional Western seasons and holidays to take on a Chinese holiday instead, with this set being a celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival,…

Review: LEGO 40648 Money Tree

December 28, 2022 By Jay Ong 1 Comment

LEGO’s 2023 Lunar New Year collection seemingly has something for everyone this year, from minifigure-heavy offerings like 80111 Lunar New Year Parade, to traditional brick-built ornaments like 80110 Lunar New Year Display and with 40648 Money Tree, a pseudo-botanical set 40648 Money Tree is a small 336-piece model of a kumquat/tangerine/mini mandarin tree, which is…

Review: LEGO 80110 Lunar New Year Display

December 25, 2022 By Jay Ong 2 Comments

In some regions, the 2023 LEGO Chinese New Year sets will go on sale on Christmas Day, and following on from my review of the excellent 80111 Lunar New Year Parade, I’ve also had the opportunity to check out 80110 Lunar New Year Display, a really unique but niche LEGO set. This is LEGO’s 5th…

Review: LEGO Hallmark Keepsake 2022 Collection

November 14, 2022 By Jay Ong 1 Comment

We finally put up ours this weekend, and the timing also coincided quite well with the arrival of the 2022 LEGO Hallmark Keepsake collection,…

Review: LEGO Duplo 10976 Santa’s Gingerbread House

October 22, 2022 By Jay Ong 5 Comments

I don’t usually review Duplo sets on the blog, but now that I have a one year old I have been slowly stockpiling and indulging in some of the newer Duplo sets because I have a good excuse! With Christmas coming up, the new 10976 Santa’s Gingerbread House caught my eye because it’s not every…

To celebrate the release of @lego Ninjago Dragons To celebrate the release of @lego Ninjago Dragons Rising sets and animated series, here's a look at the exclusive Build-a-Minifigure selection that will be rolling out from 1 June 2023 onwards!

Ninjago fans can look forward to an exclusive Sora and Arin, as well as Core Lloyd, Kai and Nya for a really cost-effective way to get your hands on these minifigs!

There's also a female football player which ties in with Icons of Play.

Special thanks to @hanobrix for sharing these photos!

Here's an official look at the newly announced 762 Here's an official look at the newly announced 76262 Captain America's Shield, coming 1 September 2023! 

It joins the other collection of large Marvel things like Mjolnir, Black Panther Bust, Nano/Infinity Gauntlet and Iron Man helmet.

Unfortunately, the lack of utility with this means that it's mostly a display piece, albeit a very large one.

Looking at the back of the shield, and having gotten an opportunity to see this set a few months ago, it's really not recommended to carry it.

And it also looks like you can't hang it up, so it's meant to just sit in it's stand.

But... It's big, I guess? 🤷‍♂️

Here's my review of 41757 Botanical Garden, hands Here's my review of 41757 Botanical Garden, hands down one of THE best sets of 2023 and a gleaming beacon of just how far the LEGO Friends theme has matured. 

When you see the LEGO Friends Botanical Garden, it quickly becomes apparent that LEGO have something special on their hands with a design that's simply beautiful.

Hit the link in bio to read my full review!

It's truly a mark of a mature theme, that LEGO could debut a tasteful design like this into LEGO Friends, but crafted in such a way that it will also have broad appeal to City builders, or even fans who want a stunning architectural masterpiece to display their minifigures or minidolls in.

With so many amazing designs and sets being produced by Billund, 41757 Botanical Garden deservedly takes it's place as one of the best LEGO sets of 2023 and I can heartily recommend this set to everyone, and I have a gut feeling that this will be one of the best-selling LEGO Friends set of the year.
