July 15, 2017 By Jay Ong 34 Comments

Review: LEGO 76075 Wonder Woman Warrior Battle

May 22, 2017 By Jay Ong 37 Comments

One of my most anticipated movies this year is Wonder Woman (check out the latest trailer), which I’m hoping will salvage the DC Cinematic Universe. For what it’s worth, I don’t hate the DC Movies that have been released so far, and quite like them – I just wish that they could be better and…

Review: DK LEGO DC Super Heroes The Awesome Guide (+ exclusive Wonder Woman Minifigure)

May 5, 2017 By Jay Ong 14 Comments

  It’s been awhile since I’ve reviewed a DK LEGO book, but with the recent release of the new LEGO DC Super Heroes: The Awesome Guide, I couldn’t resist picking this one up from the shops, mostly because of the brand new exclusive Wonder Woman minifigure. Or as I like to call it, I bought…

Spoiler Warning! LEGO 76075 Wonder Woman Warrior Battle photos unveiled

UPDATE: If you want to see more of this set, do check out my review of 76075 Wonder Woman Warrior Battle! Not an April’s Fool joke. That’s coming later today. I’m pretty mad with this and I wish I haven’t seen it. If you want to keep yourself as spoiler-free as possible for the Wonder Woman movie……

Review: LEGO 76046 Heroes of Justice Sky High Battle

May 23, 2016 By Jay Ong 20 Comments

It’s time to wrap-up my reviews of the Batman v Superman theme with the flagship set – Heroes of Justice: Sky High Battle. The largest set of the theme is the complete Batman V Superman experience with all the main characters from the movie, Batman’s brand spanking new Batwing and a shitty helicopter. Batman V…

Review: LEGO 76026 Gorilla Grodd Goes Bananas

March 3, 2015 By Jay Ong 7 Comments

Gorilla Grodd Goes Bananas has to win an award for greatest LEGO set name ever. Never before has a set’s name encapsulate the essence of of a set so well and incorporate some pretty funny wordplay at the same time. The set is the second largest (tied with Black Manta Deep Sea Attack for price)…

The 2023 LEGO Employee Gift was delivered by the p The 2023 LEGO Employee Gift was delivered by the postman today and it's beautiful!

This is 4002023 Gingerbread House, a brick built LEGO Advent Calendar with 24 mini builds you can discover each day as you count down to Christmas!

As a member of the LEGO Ambassador Network, we are incredibly privileged to receive this set, and is something I look forward to each year as we close out the year.

No spoilers here, but I hope you can appreciate the great box and graphic design, and just how cool this LEGO Dots-adjacent set is!

I'll be sharing the builds daily here on Instagram (with a one day delay to prevent inadvertent spoilers), so keep an eye out!

Also 1 December is when we kick off the annual Jay's Brick Blog Advent Calendar countdown! Hope you're ready!

Here's a look at the Sapphire Star, the locomotive Here's a look at the Sapphire Star, the locomotive that pulls the @lego Orient Express!

Honestly, I think the Locomotive looks pretty good. In the flesh, it's much more attractive than LEGO's marketing photos and on the box art.

The boiler is a little short and stubby, and it looks plain from the front but there's plenty of nice details such as the gold and blue colour scheme, minions heads, gold pens and also NPU usage with the helicopter blades for the running board.

It's definitely not as impressive the original ideas submission, but with LEGO having to work with @orientexpress, many of the changes came at the behest of the IP partner, including the colour change.

That said, the Orient Express has never been about the locomotive (the carriages are the stars), but I think it's still a very fun build - just that the bar set by the original submission was too high!

In case you were wondering, here's the @lego Orien In case you were wondering, here's the @lego Orient Express next to one of the most legendary trains ever, The Emerald Night! 

The Orient Express is satisfyingly large and the carriages are the star of the show, dwarfing The Emerald Night's singular carriage.

Special thanks to @ramblingbrick for loaning me The Emerald Night for this comparison!

Here's a look at the LEGO Marvel Taxi, a gift with Here's a look at the LEGO Marvel Taxi, a gift with purchase that you can only get if you purchase 76269 Avengers Tower from 24-27 November 2023, while stocks last.

As you can see, it comes in the yellow GWP boxes, and the elements are packed into a singular ziploc bag instead of the usual numbered plastic bag - this is typical for these yellow box GWPs as they are produced in very limited numbers and are packed by hand.

Thankfully the minifigures aren't exclusive, but it was a pleasant surprise that all the decorations are printed, including the license plate tile which has the Avengers Tower initials (AT) and set number printed on it.

It makes for a good companion to the taxi from the Daily Bugle, and whilst not absolutely necessary for the Avengers Tower, it's a decent enough bonus to reward those that buy it at launch.

You'll also be able to stack the Majisto's Workshop and Winter Market Stall GWPs, so it's a actually a really good time to order the Avengers Tower if it's on your wishlist.

We get a brand new Hulk bigfig, which includes a wig for the bigfig head. This allows The Hulk to swivel and turn his head properly for the first time ever.

The new bigwig also makes for some fun combinations possible.

As a bonus, I've included a group photo with some of the other bigfig green Hulks.

Took a deep dive into all the minifigures from the Took a deep dive into all the minifigures from the @lego Avengers Tower, which launches on 24 November! 

With 29 minifigures, 1 Ant-man nanofigure and 1 Hulk bigfig, the set contains the most minifigures in a retail set!

There are a total of 15 exclusive figures which feature slightly updated designs, new characters like Alexander Pierce and Erik Selvig to dramatic upgrades like Vision and a new bigfig design for the Hulk.

It's definitely "the most Avengers" set ever in minifigure terms, but there's still a number of characters that are central to the forming of the Avengers like Agent Coulson, Happy Hogan or even Maria Hill.

Which characters would you have liked to see in this lineup?
