Review: LEGO 10314 Dried Flower Centrepiece

February 14, 2023 By Jay Ong 4 Comments

The LEGO Botanical Collection continues to grow with 10314 Dried Flower Centrepiece, a fresh new concept that brings a fresh twist to LEGO flowers. The set eschews the bright botanical blossoms found in sets like the 10313 Wildflower Bouquet and 10280 Flower Bouquet for more subdued earth tones but still maintains the intricate and imaginative botanical…

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…

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.

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 my editorial on LEGO 2K Drive, and why you should be extremely wary of 2K's well-documented and aggressive microtransaction game design philosophy. Wanted to wait a few days to properly digest this as modern video games aren't my forte, but here's a cautionary article. Surprised that not many other LEGO media commented or did any research into 2K's reputation, or the potential impact that microtransactions and season passes could have on what looks like a really fun game. ...
