Review: LEGO 76107 Thanos: Ultimate Battle

April 15, 2018 By Jay 23 Comments

If you’ve been a long-time reader of the blog, you’ll know that I bloody love the Milano Spaceship from Guardians of the Galaxy. I awarded a perfect score to the original ship (76021) and also gave a really high score to the smaller version from the sequel (76081). The original remains one of my favourite…

Review: LEGO 76080 Ayesha’s Revenge

March 12, 2017 By Jay 22 Comments

For my next LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 review, we’ve got 76080 Ayesha’s Revenge, the medium-sized set from this year’s lineup of 3 GOTG sets. After reviewing (and loving) the 2017 Milano, I’ve seemingly caught the LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy bug and was more than keen to finish building the other two sets…

Review: LEGO 76081 The Milano vs The Abilisk

March 5, 2017 By Jay 24 Comments

LEGO and Hollywood have a lot in common – namely that a big part of their business is driven by sequels and remakes. Sequels fill me with a sense of trepidation – they can sometimes be really good (22 Jump Street, The Force Awakens, Toy Story 3) or they can be really awful (Indiana Jones…

Review: LEGO 76021 Guardians of the Galaxy: The Milano Spaceship Rescue

August 26, 2014 By Jay 19 Comments

Many people have likened Guardians of the Galaxy to Star Wars and it’s easy to see why: A ragtag bunch of misfits come together to battle a galactic threat set against the backdrop of alien worlds in space. The term space opera has also been thrown here and there in conversations about James Gunn’s and…

Review: LEGO 76019 Guardians of the Galaxy: Starblaster Showdown

August 5, 2014 By Jay 6 Comments

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy has been on my list of must-watch movies ever since the premiere of the very first trailer early this year. The movie’s premise seemed so incredibly fun and silly that I couldn’t help but be excited about it. I managed to catch the movie at IMAX Melbourne on Sunday and even…

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.”
