November 7, 2021 By Jay Ong 1 Comment

After a three year run, it looks like the Modular Corner Garage has finally retired for good in the US and UK, with the LEGO.com product listings showing that they’re sold out, which means they likely won’t be back in stock. Ever. If you’re in the US or UK, you might still be able to…

LEGO Vidiyo in its current form is dead. RIP L.L.A.M.A

July 25, 2021 By Jay Ong 7 Comments

It’s finally happened – LEGO has all but cancelled LEGO Vidiyo in it’s current iteration. Late on Friday night (the best time to drop unfavourable announcements in the news cycle), The LEGO Group released this statement, following a rumour shared by Promobricks that the theme had been cancelled, and retailers were offered the option to…

Review: LEGO 60036 Arctic Base Camp

March 25, 2016 By Jay Ong 17 Comments

Here’s a bit of a throwback – a review of one of my favourite modern LEGO City sets from 2014 – 60036 Arctic Base Camp. The set has proudly been on display in my study since 2014 but with a recent move coming up, I’m forced to dismantle and pack up most of my LEGO…

It finally happened – one of the flagship LEGO DC Super Heroes sets, 76023 The Tumbler has been officially retired on LEGO.com’s Australian, UK and European stores. The Tumbler is still available on the American LEGO online store, so those in the US still have time to pick it up. I expect it to properly…

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.

Let me know what you think of this set, and if you're still planning to get it!

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!
