Thoughts on the new LEGO sets previewed at the German Toy Fair 2017

February 4, 2017 By Jay 33 Comments

The 2017 German Toy Fair (Spielwarenmesse) was held in Nuremberg earlier this week, and as is customary, it gives LEGO fans a first look at a selection of new sets and themes from the second half (2HY) of 2017. Photography at the German Toy Fair is rather limited and the more intricate details are hard…

Fans of 1960s Batman and Adam West rejoice! I've got an early review copy of the soon-to-be-released 76188 Classic TV Series Batmobile which launches on 26 April!

Hit the link in bio to read my full review! 

A nice little update to the Classic Batcave version, especially if you missed out on the 2016 set.

Love how inexpensive this little set is, and I liked how well it functions as a display model that doesn't require a ton of space.

It's finally here! So glad I can finally share my It's finally here! So glad I can finally share my review of the @LEGO Looney Tunes Minifigures!

Hit the link in bio to read my review and see all 12 characters!

Really enjoyed the insane level of detail packed into these iconic characters, and while the accessories were lacklustre, Looney Tunes has such a rich heritage of iconic designs and characters that works so well as minifigures. 

Shout out to @cheepjokes for hooking me up with a complete set because my review box hasn't made it to me just yet 🥶

My early review of 76199 Carnage is now live on the blog, hit the link in bio to read, or swipe through the gallery to see more photos!

If you enjoy LEGO’s Helmet collection, or are a big Carnage/Spider-Man fan Carnage will be a no-brainer addition to your collection.

With all my helmets currently on display, Carnage is the ones that stands out the most, in a good way, and I like that they’re expanding Marvel’s helmet collection.

I do think that there’s a wasted opportunity here with the lack of tentacles, or Symbiote tendrils sticking out from the back. I know it will technically break the Helmets’ style and design language, but for a character like Carnage, it feels like a massive miss to not have anything stick out.

Will you be picking up 76199 Carnage?

🚨 BREAKING: Effective immediately, the LEGO Gro 🚨 BREAKING: Effective immediately, the LEGO Group announced that it would be strengthening its commitment to Child Safety and Safe Play by mandating that proof of age identification be presented when purchasing all 18+ adult-focused sets, online or at LEGO Brand Retail Stores.

LEGO sets being purchased by adults have quadrupled in the last year compared to a decade ago, as adults flock towards the LEGO brick, a trend that was accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic.

To prevent these 18+ sets from falling into the wrong and age-inappropriate hands, The LEGO Group will now require its customers to provide the following proof of age documents: driver’s license, passport, social security card (USA) or any other valid government-issued form of identification.

“At the LEGO Group, child safety is our number one priority” says Søren Christiansen, Senior Child Safety Compliance Officer.

“Following complaints from parents, we cannot afford to expose impressionable children or teenagers to adults-only sets like Winnie the Pooh. The LEGO 18+ label has allowed us to broaden our product portfolio and explore adult-themes like 123 Sesame Street, which would be highly inappropriate for children.”
