Released in the latest LEGO® Creator wave, 31175 Unicorn Castle is quite striking with its bright pastel color scheme and equine inhabitants. Interest piqued, we thought the set was worth a closer look to determine whether it is really as magical as it seems...

Review: 21361 Gremlins – Gizmo from LEGO® Ideas

Posted by Eero

LEGO® Ideas set 21361 Gremlins: Gizmo originates from a contest on that platform, and I'm happy seeing a LEGO Ideas set that's not in minifigure scale. But is this little Mogwai a companion worth all the strict rules, and the threat of Gremlins infestation?

LEGO® 3D-printed elements: 10361 Holiday Express Train has one you can buy

Posted by Elspeth De Montes

The LEGO Group have announced the inclusion of a 3D-printed blue train element in the October 2025 LEGO® Icons set 10361 Holiday Express Train, and sent us a copy. 

While this is not the first LEGO 3D element by any means, it will be the first time one has appeared in a regular retail set with wide availability. This seems like a good opportunity to take a look at the LEGO 3D-printed parts we have encountered so far, and where they might take us.

Review: 43010 Nike Slam Dunk from LEGO® Nike

Posted by Thomas Jenkins

The Nike x LEGO® lineup has been all about sneakers so far, but 43010 Nike Slam Dunk switches things up with a high-flying twist: instead of building the Dunk you wear, you’re building the dunk you score.

Does the set lives up to its name or did The LEGO Group drop the ball on this one? Let's lace up and find out...

Revealed: 75419 Death Star™ from LEGO® Star Wars™

Posted by Tim Johnson

On 1 October 2025, LEGO® Star Wars™ will release a slice of life... or rather, a delightful Slice of Death. Set 75419 Death Star™ offers customers a display-and-play model depicting a cross-section of the globoid weapon of planetary destruction, showing famous scenes from the movies within its walls.

To say this set is unprecedented is not hyperbole: it is the largest LEGO Star Wars set to date and contains more minifigures than any LEGO set – 38! – but no doubt the number on everyone's minds is the price: US$999.99/ £899.99/ 999.99€/ AU$1499.99. Is it justified?
