December 26, 2020 By Jay 21 Comments

With 2021 almost upon us, what better way to ring in the New Year than with the 2021 LEGO Modular Building – 10278 Police Station. For LEGO Modular Building fans, it’s been almost customary to start each year by ordering the latest modular, and the Police Station – with its tan, stately facade will be…

Review: LEGO 75973 D.va and Reinhardt

December 17, 2018 By Jay 7 Comments

Two months ago, LEGO officially unveiled a brand new theme for 2019 – LEGO Overwatch, which caught many LEGO fans and industry observers by surprise. It was quite a bold move by LEGO, to produce sets from the online first-person shooter game, especially since LEGO rarely dabbles in video game licenses. For the unaware, Overwatch is…

Review: LEGO 41629 Boba Fett Brickheadz

November 25, 2018 By Jay 5 Comments

I have a weird relationship with Brickheadz. I remember being relatively positive when they launched but my enthusiasm tapered off shortly when I realised that a whole heap of them were released as Comic Con exclusives (which I abhor) and the range of licensed properties were also terribly lacking – there were hardly any characters…

Treat yo self 💫 January was a massive month, s Treat yo self 💫

January was a massive month, so I decided to finally take the MF plunge.
Today is "Chap Goh Meh" or the Lantern Festival, t Today is "Chap Goh Meh" or the Lantern Festival, the final day of Chinese New Year. 🏮

It's a bit of a strange one this year, with the pandemic throwing plans into disarray, and my family being further away than usual, so celebrations were a little different in 2021.

Thank you @LEGO for an excellent range of Chinese Traditional Festival sets. 🙏

@little.ong (and myself) really loved the Duplo Happy Childhood Moments set, and I especially enjoyed the new dumplings element! 🥟

Spring Lantern Festival is one of the best LEGO sets I've had the pleasure of building, and I also appreciated the foray into the mythological origins of Lunar New Year with Story of Nian. 🧨🧧🎆

More sets that celebrate the rich cultural diversity of the world, please! 🌏

For #Ninjago fans, it doesn’t get much better than this. 71747 The Keeper’s Village is packed with value and is a great centerpiece to Season 14 – The Island.

I have a soft spot for location, or structure-based Ninjago builds, so The Keeper’s Village strikes that itch in the best of ways.

The jungle lair sets the scene and provides a rich backdrop that works really well as a small playset and display piece.

Combined with a very generous helping of 5 minifigures, there’s a ton of value and playability built into the set, especially the stone pillar which works remarkably well as a “big enemy” for the Ninjas to deal with – it very much gives off a “mini-boss in a video game vibe”.

The highlights for me would be Chief Mammatus and Thunder Keeper’s designs. As a big fan of the Islanders theme, I love that #LEGO could callback to those designs in a fresh new way, utilising the tech and innovation that’s now possible through minifigure design.

Whether you’re an adult fan looking for a set that’s a bit more kiddy, outlandish and fun, or you’re planning to buy this for a young child who wants an engaging playset, I can highly recommend 71747 The Keeper’s Village.

Rating and score: 4/5 ★★★★✰
Thanks @lego for sending over the new #LEGONinjago Thanks @lego for sending over the new #LEGONinjago Season 14 sets ahead of their March release!

My first review of 71747 The Keeper's Village is already live on the blog! Speed build is live on YouTube as well!

Sharing photos from Japan because we miss travelling (and food!) but being in lockdown with you for 5 days isn't too shabby of an alternative.
