Review: LEGO 75334 Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Darth Vader

March 12, 2023 By VaderFan2187 5 Comments

75334 Obi-Wan Kenobi vs Darth Vader set is the smaller of the two 2022 Star Wars sets based on the Kenobi Disney+ series, and joins a decent-sized collection of US$50 LEGO Star Wars playsets with desirable minifigures. However, the set was subjected to heavy controversy upon its reveal, due to the uninteresting source material and…

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…

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…

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.

(I think Dug is the best!)

Shame Kevin was left out, though!

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.

🐍 Snakes... Why did it have to be snakes? Her 🐍 Snakes... Why did it have to be snakes? 

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 a look at 40587 Easter Basket, an incredibl Here's a look at 40587 Easter Basket, an incredibly affordable and attainable GWP that's available from 16 March!

It will be a GWP when you spend US$70 / €70 / £65 from 16 March - 9 April.

Lots of things to like here, as the design is cute, and the build is surprisingly technical, and it blends both Botanical and Animal construction.

Also like that the redemption period stretches into April, so if you have the Indiana Jones, Disney 100, or Guardians of the Galaxy sets on your radar, it should be an easy one to qualify for!

Such a breath of fresh air to get such a substantial GWP without having to spend hundreds of dollars. More like this please, LEGO!
