Review: LEGO 10272 Old Trafford

April 5, 2020 By Jay Ong 13 Comments

LEGO’s been on a great run – with surprise licenses and collaborations aplenty in 2020, but one of the most unexpected collaborations had to be with Manchester United. For the non-sportsball fans, Manchester United is arguably the most popular football (soccer, for some of you) club in the world, mostly thanks to two key periods…

Review: LEGO 10269 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy

September 29, 2019 By Jay Ong 6 Comments

2019 will go down in history as one of the years with the most surprises coming out of LEGO, and the unveiling of 10269 Harley-Davidson was certainly high on my list of things I never expected LEGO to do. Every year, we’ve come to a Creator Expert vehicle from LEGO, and the Ford Mustang from…

Review: LEGO 75965 The Rise of Voldemort

August 18, 2019 By Jay Ong 3 Comments

Following on from my Expecto Patronum review, I decided to build and review another small 2019 Harry Potter set, this time from the third, mini-wave that hit store shelves early this month. 75965 The Rise of Voldemort can be considered a remake of one of the most sought-after LEGO Harry Potter sets – 4706 Graveyard…

What better way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, which sent the first human beings to the moon, than to review 10266 NASA Apollo 11 Lunar Lander. Not only that, if you’re awake and see the notification of this post being published hit your inbox, or on Facebook, I’ve also timed…

Review: LEGO 75937 Triceratops Rampage

June 27, 2019 By Jay Ong 3 Comments

If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you’ll probably know that I’m a big fan of LEGO dinosaurs, so I was pretty stoked when the entire Jurassic World Isla Nublar theme showed up on my front door from LEGO. The first cab off the ranks is 75937 Triceratops Rampage, featuring the triumphant return of…

Review: LEGO 40186 Year of the Pig

February 3, 2019 By Jay Ong 4 Comments

Chinese New Year is only days away, so it’s no better time to review what has become one of my favourite LEGO annual traditions – this year’s LEGO Chinese Zodiac Animal – the Pig! For those that are unaware, the Chinese Zodiac is a system where each year is designated a particular Zodiac Animal, which…

Did you know that Fiona, the @lego Friends florist Did you know that Fiona, the @lego Friends florist is one of the first minidolls depicted with Down Syndrome?

Fiona works at the flower stall on Unity Street from 41732 Friends Downtown Flower and Design Stores 

She is described as being 'good at crafts and decorating, and knows all the flower species by name.' 

It's World Down Syndrome Day today and I think it's remarkable and very important for LEGO to enhance the perspectives of children on neurodiversity, physical disabilities, ethnicity and mental health, as they've done with the LEGO Friends reboot.

Shame Kevin was left out, though!

Here's my review of one of the most anticipate @LE Here's my review of one of the most anticipate @LEGO Disney sets - 43217 'Up' House ahead of its release on 1 April 2023!

This set is a dream come true for many Pixar fans, and we finally get a cute, compact and great looking Up House. 

It has plenty of references to the movie, and Carl's everlasting love of Ellie, his late-wife which will absolutely delight fans. 

Despite a strong lineup of minifigures (including an awesome Dug mould), the set's incredibly expensive pricetag (US$59.99/AU$89.99) doesn't feel like good value, especially with Kevin nowhere to be found.

Here are some shots of 77013 Escape from the Lost Tomb, which let's you recreate scenes from Raiders of the Lost Ark!

Indy, Sallah, and Marion break into the Well of Souls to retrieve the Ark of the Covenant in LEGO form, and this playset is packed with dynamic play features!

Priced at only US$39.99, this set is incredible value and a great way to get started with LEGO Indiana Jones!

Here's a look at 40587 Easter Basket, an incredibl Here's a look at 40587 Easter Basket, an incredibly affordable and attainable GWP that's available from 16 March!

It will be a GWP when you spend US$70 / €70 / £65 from 16 March - 9 April.

Lots of things to like here, as the design is cute, and the build is surprisingly technical, and it blends both Botanical and Animal construction.

Also like that the redemption period stretches into April, so if you have the Indiana Jones, Disney 100, or Guardians of the Galaxy sets on your radar, it should be an easy one to qualify for!

Such a breath of fresh air to get such a substantial GWP without having to spend hundreds of dollars. More like this please, LEGO!
