Review: LEGO 75579 Payakan the Tulkun & Crabsuit

February 12, 2023 By VaderFan2187 Leave a Comment

Avatar: The Way of Water is already smashing records and one of the highest-grossing movies of all time, a testament to James Cameron’s box office prowess. It’s thus not a big surprise that LEGO released a second wave of LEGO Avatar sets several sets to accompany the sequel, The Way of Water, the biggest of…

Review: LEGO 75573 Floating Mountains: Site 26 & RDA Samson

October 5, 2022 By Jay Ong 3 Comments

For my next LEGO Avatar review, let’s take a look at 75573 Floating Mountains Site 26 & RDA Samson, another heavily military-themed set that’s based on the first Avatar movie. Like 75571 Neytiri & Thanator vs. AMP Suit Quaritch, this set revolves around an RDA Samson helicopter, mobile link station, and of course, some components…

September 14, 2022 By Jay Ong 4 Comments

It’s not every day that we get a new licensed theme, but with the upcoming theatrical release of Avatar 2: The Way of Water (and many more sequels), LEGO have acquired the license for a brand new Avatar theme (not the Airbender), which will be released globally from 1 October 2022.

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. ...
