2nd half of 2017 LEGO Highlights from the New York Toy Fair

February 22, 2017 By Jay Ong 11 Comments

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

February 6, 2016 By Jay Ong 31 Comments

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. His combination of Sith-like aggression and trademark Skywalker whininess was quite endearing and I really liked that he was a very well-rounded 3-dimensional character. That obviously meant…

Review: LEGO 75118 – Captain Phasma

January 11, 2016 By Jay Ong 9 Comments

I can’t seem to get enough of the new LEGO Star Wars buildable figures. Honestly, I’ve been quite surprised by how much I’ve been enjoying these buildable figures. They’re relatively quick builds, are mostly quite well designed and look great on display due to their sizes. Call it a bit of nostalgia, but these action…

Review: LEGO 75116 – Finn

January 1, 2016 By Jay Ong 3 Comments

After reviewing and enjoying the Kylo Ren buildable figure, I knew I wanted more from the new Star Wars “Constraction” theme. I received 75116 Finn from Warlord LEGO, a Russian LEGO Youtuber who had gotten the new wave of Star Wars sets super early and he was gracious enough to send me an early copy…

Review: LEGO 75117 – Kylo Ren

December 28, 2015 By Jay Ong 5 Comments

2015 saw the debut of a new Star Wars sub-theme – buildable figures featuring some of the more notable characters from the Star Wars universe. Also known colloquially as “Constraction Figures” (a portmanteau of Construction and Action Figures), the range combines building techniques and parts from LEGO’s popular Bionicle theme with designs and elements from Star…

Review: LEGO 75099 – Rey’s Speeder

December 23, 2015 By Jay Ong 17 Comments

With the premiere of Star Wars Episode: VII The Force Awakens in cinemas last week, the hype surrounding Star Wars has reached fever pitch. In short -there’s never been a better time to be a Star Wars fan! I’ve watched The Force Awakens three times already and am already gearing up for a fourth. It’s safe…

I really enjoyed tuning into the @lofigirl and @le I really enjoyed tuning into the @lofigirl and @lego collab for chill beats to build LEGO to.

I've spent a lot of my life having lofi hip-hop in the background at work, or building LEGO and the vibes are just immaculate ✨

If only we got an official LEGO Lofigirl minifigure or mini set!

LEGO Winter Village sets are officially inflation- LEGO Winter Village sets are officially inflation-proof! 

With the reveal of 10325 Alpine Lodge (hit the link in bio to learn more), I was really surprised that LEGO managed to maintain it's US$99.99 pricetag.

This is now the 6th year running that the LEGO Winter Village set has been priced at $99.99, and it's especially impressive this year with the price of everything going up.

Good job, LEGO for ensuring families and long-time fans don't get priced out of the annual Winter Village tradition 👏
