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.

Let me know what you think of this set, and if you're still planning to get it!

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!
