Review: LEGO 71411 The Mighty Bowser

September 16, 2022 By Jay 4 Comments

LEGO Super Mario has been a fairly decent commercial success – LEGO keeps producing sets, and anecdotally, the theme is quite popular among younger kids and families, for whom Mario is a much bigger star than Mickey Mouse. While the LEGO Super Mario theme is primarily targeted at kids, with its physical meets digital play…

LEGO Mario Character Packs Series 5 is a disappointing preview of the future of LEGO Collectible Minifigures

August 12, 2022 By Jay 74 Comments

Earlier this month, LEGO Mario Character Packs Series 5 went on sale worldwide, and with it, a brand new boxed packaging, as well as a small price increase. I’ve been a casual fan of LEGO Mario, nabbing sets when they go on clearance or when there are characters that catch my eye, but have always…

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!
