Along with 31130 Sunken Treasure Mission (which I can’t share photos of… due to the confidential stamp), these 3…

Review: LEGO 71395 Super Mario 64 Question Mark Block

March 20, 2022 By Jay 7 Comments

The LEGO Super Mario theme is quite divisive amongst LEGO and Nintendo fans, partly because it’s not a typical minifigure-centric theme, and also partly because the phygital play (a portmanteau for physical and digital) isn’t really geared towards adults or older LEGO fans, who contribute most to the online discourse, on blogs, social media or…

Review: LEGO 31124 Super Robot

March 7, 2022 By Jay 5 Comments

One of the chief complaints that people have about LEGO in 2022 is that it’s often too expensive, and who can blame them when sets like the Modular Boutique Hotel and Technic 42141 McLaren Formula 1 Race Car steal all the headlines. Enter LEGO’s Creator 3-in-1 theme, which brings LEGO back to its roots, where…

Review: LEGO 31122 Fish Tank

May 23, 2021 By Jay 5 Comments

LEGO’s Creator 3-in-1 continues to surprise in the best of ways, and today, I’m pleased to share a review of 31122 Fish Tank, a charming buildable LEGO aquarium that’s due to be released in the second half of 2021. In addition to being a rather eye-catching little build, one of the first things that stand…

My review of the new 75349 Captain Rex and 75350 C My review of the new 75349 Captain Rex and 75350 Clone Commander Cody is up, and here's a closer look at some of the details. 

They both will be released on 1 March 2023, and will retail for US$69.99 / AU$99.99 / £59.99 and can be pre-ordered now. 

Hit the link in bio to read my full review!

I think both helmets are excellent additions to the LEGO Star Wars Helmet Collection. Both Phase 1 and Phase 2 Clone Trooper helmets translate incredibly well, and there are some masterful sculpting techniques and great use of negative space to get the look just right. 

I have to say that I much prefer Commander Cody out of the two, because of the 212th's orange markings, and cool features like the visor and fin. Captain Rex, while having some cutting-edge building techniques have some really poorly colour-match stickers which distract from the otherwise great build. 

Will you be planning on picking any of these up?

Special thanks to @lego for sending these early review sets over!
