New LEGO Offers and Promotions include 2x VIP Points for Mario Day, and return of Houses of the World 1

March 4, 2023 By Jay Ong 6 Comments

Right after the conclusion of the Moving Truck GWP, we now have a brand new set of offers for mid-March, including one that will make picking up 10316 Lord of the Rings: Rivendell, slightly more worth your while. Unfortunately, this also means that it doesn’t look like there’ll be an International Women’s Day gift with…

Review: LEGO Polybags (First-Half of 2023)

February 21, 2023 By Jay Ong 10 Comments

I was at the Melbourne Legoland Discovery Centre over the weekend and stumbled upon a whole heap of new first half of 2023 LEGO Polybags on sale. I wasted no time picking most of them up, as I really enjoy polybags as impulse purchases and builds, and with the skyrocketing price of LEGO, I figured…

LEGO have revealed a whole bunch of Marvel and DC LEGO have revealed a whole bunch of Marvel and DC Comics sets including the highly anticipated 76261 Spider-Man Final Battle featuring all 3 Spider-Man from No Way Home!

Got a chance to see a preliminary model of 76261 a few months ago, and while the minifigure lineup is impressive, the model is absolutely tiny.

Venomised Groot is super cute, and the Batwing is an absolute winner at this scale and price.

This is LEGO 40364 Icons of Play, a set celebratin This is LEGO 40364 Icons of Play, a set celebrating some of the most accomplished female football players.

It features minifigures of @samanthakerr20, @mrapinoe, @yuki_nagasato and @asisat_oshoala, and is set to be released on 6 June 2023! 

I read some extremely disgusting misogynistic comments on this set, from the usual terminally-online, incel-esque dudebros who probably need to get out a little.

Women's football is on the up and up, with exponential growth in game attendance, and TV viewership, and this is really smart timing on LEGO's part, releasing this just before the FIFA Women's World Cup starts.

Women's football has massive grassroots support, and is a hugely popular sport for young girls, the very builders of tomorrow that LEGO is continually trying to inspire.

LEGO is even a sponsor of the Australian national women's team @thematildas!

It's not even a bad set, and will integrate nicely into LEGO City, with clear references to the popular Football theme from the early 2000s.

Still, it's very disappointing (but not surprising) to see large LEGO pages continue to encourage and not take a stronger stance against sexism and misogyny. 

Do better with your influence and reach.
