February 25, 2023 By VaderFan2187 2 Comments

Oversized mechs and oversized motorbikes are a staple of the LEGO Super Heroes theme, but in 2023 these two tropes have been combined to form a new revolutionary idea… a mech riding an oversized motorbike! Enter 76245 Ghost Rider Mech & Bike, a mid-sized Marvel set released in January this year. Let’s find out what…

Review: LEGO 75573 Floating Mountains: Site 26 & RDA Samson

October 5, 2022 By Jay Ong 3 Comments

For my next LEGO Avatar review, let’s take a look at 75573 Floating Mountains Site 26 & RDA Samson, another heavily military-themed set that’s based on the first Avatar movie. Like 75571 Neytiri & Thanator vs. AMP Suit Quaritch, this set revolves around an RDA Samson helicopter, mobile link station, and of course, some components…

Review: LEGO 76215 Black Panther

September 18, 2022 By Jay Ong 17 Comments

Sometimes bigger is not always better, but if there was any LEGO set that makes one heck of a statement in 2022, it’s likely to be 76215 Black Panther. This 2,961-piece bust of T’Challa, aka Wakanda’s Black Panther is huge, and a really impressive display piece that pushes the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes theme to…

The LEGO Group has announced that it plans on redu The LEGO Group has announced that it plans on reducing the number of sets within its portfolio by approximately 10%, following a successful pilot program.

In corporate-speak, this means that they're looking to cancel the sets in order to free up resources across the organisation, a sign that not all is going to plan in Billund.

As this isn't going to be the easiest exercise, LEGO are going to use the LEGO Ideas platform to help decide which sets to cancel, beginning with the upcoming Jurassic Park 30th Anniversary sets which were planned for June 2023.

Hit the link in bio for all the details on this.

It's another stacked month of releases with long-awaited releases like LEGO Indiana Jones, Disney 100, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 and more. 

The Gift with Purchase (GWP) selection is also great, with Houses of the World 2 and Flowerpot releasing, so be sure to plan your purchases ahead.

Here's my review of 77015 Temple of the Golden Ido Here's my review of 77015 Temple of the Golden Idol, ahead of the triumphant return of LEGO Indiana Jones in April 2023! 

77015 Temple of the Golden Idol is a marvel of LEGO design, and a huge leap forward for adult-focused sets that make play features an integral part of the set experience.

For fans of LEGO Indiana Jones, this is an excellent demonstration of what’s possible when given the adults/LEGO Icons treatment, bringing to life one of the most iconic scenes and character introductions in history.

What’s truly remarkable about this set is how it integrates both being an attractive display piece with play functions that augment the entire experience. As a diorama, all the key scenes from the opening scene of Raiders are captured, allowing you to place the minifigures in different spots to re-enact your favourite moments from the Temple of the Golden Idol.

Special thanks to @LEGO for sending this review set.

Here's a look at 75358 Tenoo Jedi Temple, a new 4+ Here's a look at 75358 Tenoo Jedi Temple, a new 4+ set based on the upcoming @starwars Young Jedi Adventures animated series.

75358 Tenoo Jedi Temple
🧩 124 pieces
💵 US$39.99 / AU$64.99 / €42.99
🗓 1 June 2023

It's a kid-friendly series so it makes perfect sense for LEGO to also release a kid-friendly 4+ set.

Hit the link in bio to see more 🔗

The set has 124 pieces and comes with 3 minifigures - Master Yoda, Lys Solay and Kai Brightstar. Young Jedi Adventures is set during the High Republic era, so it's neat to get a young Yoda and new alien species. 

It's priced at US$39.99 / AU$64.99 / €42.99 / £37.99 / CAD$49.99 which is a little crazy for a set aimed at really young kids.

Sets that go well together ✨ Was looking for a Sets that go well together ✨

Was looking for a home to display the @lego Disney Up House and decided that it looks pretty good alongside the mini Disney Castle.

There's a bit of a size-imbalance, but they have a similar footprint, and again, I like how compact both sets are which makes displaying a breeze.

More Disney sets at this scale and size please!

Forget grainy photos, here are official photos of Forget grainy photos, here are official photos of the 3 new April 2023 LEGO GWPs!

🎁 40590 Houses of the World 2 (270 pieces)
🎁 40588 Flowerpot (292 pieces)
🎁 40589 Pirate Ship Playground

We don't have exact dates or purchase thresholds yet, but expect these to drop after the current Easter Basket GWP promotional period ends on 9 April. 

Loving the look of the North African-inspired Houses of the World 2, but expecting a really high purchase threshold like Houses of the World 1. 

Really looking forward to 40588 Flowerpot, which looks like it will coincide with Mother's Day, and am hoping for a fairly accessible GWP threshold. Love seeing the Trolls balloon pieces being used as a vase!

Here's a look at 43212 Disney Celebration Train, c Here's a look at 43212 Disney Celebration Train, celebrating #Disney100!

It's a 4+ set and features floats and characters from several different eras of Disney, from classic to Pixar to modern animation.

6 minifigures are included, which to most Disney fans are the real highlight of the set.

You get new Mickey and Minnie Mouse variants, Peter Pan and Tinker Bell, Woody and Moana who makes her debut as a minifigure, and expands the total number of minifigure Disney Princesses!

Depending on where you live, the set may or may not be good value, but you do get 5 new-ish and exclusive Disney minifigs, which will be the big draw to fans.
