The New York Fair kicked off last weekend and it’s traditionally one of the first events in the year where we get a really good glimpse of what LEGO is coming in the second half of the year. The Nuremberg Toy Fair (check out my post on Nuremberg here) is kinda like a teaser one…
Review: LEGO 75139 – Battle on Takodana
Walking out of multiple cinema screenings of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, I realised that I’d become very fond of the new part-time villain, part-time emo kid Kylo Ren.
