One of the highlights of my recent trip to Denmark was getting to visit Skærbæk Fan Weekend, a massive European LEGO fan convention that’s held in Skærbæk, a small town located just 80km south of Billund. It’s a multi-day event that hosts some of the most talented LEGO builders from across Europe, and due to…

LEGO Designer Insights: 21337 Table Football’s smaller scale, diverse minifigures and more

October 7, 2022 By Jay 16 Comments

Yesterday, LEGO unveiled the final LEGO Ideas set of 2022 – 21337 Table Football, which will be released on 1 November 2022. The 2,339-piece set packs an incredible amount of diverse minifigure options, but conversations about the set have been dominated by the set’s relatively high pricetag (US$249.99 / AU$379.99) and most contentious of all…

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!
