LEGO® Botanicals theme offers an alternative to people who want to have some greenery in their home but are unable to keep real houseplants alive. Plastic stays green long after we people are long dead – as H.P. Lovecraft said, "that is not dead which can eternal lie".
11512 Hanging Golden Pothos certainly takes the lifelikeness to the maximum, being easily mistaken for a real, living Pothos. Is realism enough to make a great set?
The latest set from LEGO® Architecture, 21066 New York City – The Big Apple continues The LEGO Group's enduring love of the city that never sleeps. Its simple colour palette does not mean there are no new elements: there are recolours to enjoy. Let's take a bite and see what's inside.
From midnight, Wednesday 1 July 2026 LEGO® Insiders can get set 42232 Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear Megacar early, with the general public gaining access on 4 July. The launch of this massive Ultimate Car Concept Series model is accompanied by an exclusive Gift with Purchase (GwP), only the second ever to be tied to a LEGO® Technic set. With 228 parts, 40894 Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear Steering Wheel manages to pack some neat functions and elements.
Let's see what Leo and his cat, Madonna are up to!
In my final article covering some of the June/August 2026 LEGO® NINJAGO® sets, I'm building 4 of the smaller sets in the wave. Grab your Dragon Claws as we battle against new and familiar foes.
Back in March, four new LEGO® DC Batman™ sets were released: a Batman logo; and not one, not two, but three new Batmobiles. Our earlier review of 76330 Batman™ Logo covered the first, and now it's the turn of the other three. Guest reviewer Mansur "Waffles" Soeleman returns to cover all the black and very dark grey parts.
I’m not the biggest superhero fan, but I like Batman as much as the next guy, and I do like cars. This mini-wave of Batmobiles has been very well received and praised for its “LEGO® Speed Champions-lite” level of detail. 76331 Batman v Superman Batmobile, 76332 The Batman Batmobile, and 76333 Batman & Robin Batmobile are three different cars with three different Batmen, from three different films!
Not only did I review the sets themselves, including the few new and interesting parts: I’ve also photographed the cars in Liverpool, UK where the 2022 movie The Batman was filmed.
I think LEGO® Botanicals is the best theme for MOC builders, although I don't have any specific affinity to flowers. However, I have an affinity to mushrooms, which are obviously not plants and thus unsuitable for a theme called "Botanicals". Except that they are not unsuitable, as 11505 Woodland Mushrooms proves. To be honest, it includes plenty of plants too, so maybe we can let that slide.
The LEGO Group has produced a wide range of vehicles but, as far as I could see, bicycles have so far been relegated to accessories for figures; nothing brick-built. This trend has been broken in a spectacular way, with the humongous 11380 Road Bike.
Find out after the break if there’s substance to back the bulk.
Destiny’s Bounty is the most famous (and most crashed) vehicle in the LEGO® NINJAGO® theme. One version that is special to me, 70677 Land Bounty from 2019, has received a make-over and comes back as 71869 Land Bounty. How do the two sets compare?
It was a dark and stormy night. A doorbell rang! Tim screamed. Could this be the long-lost sister of the boy in the tattered shawl who escaped the castle dungeon after his spaceship crashed? He threw the door open in earnest.
Last year, LEGO® NINJAGO® launched Ninjago Legends, a miniseries with a different art style to the original. The first instalment, Monstrosity, was accompanied by some great sets, and the upcoming instalment Duskfall will provide us with 3 sets. Today, I’ll be reviewing the smallest of the batch: 71871 Battle at the Dragon's Blade.

Upon its 1 June 2026 release, set 11377 Minas Tirith will face a dual siege: hoards of eager LEGO® fans, and the dark forces of Mordor, in the form of the 40893 Grond Gift with Purchase (GwP).
While falling somewhat short of Tolkien's described scale of a hundred feet, I was nevertheless excited to take a look at the set, and see whether it would manage to batter its way into my heart.
Goodness Cretaceous me! It's another LEGO® Jurassic World™ dinosaur fossil, but it's not actually Jurassic – Maastrictianly speaking, it's Late Cretaceous – but let's not make bones about it.
According to the folklore printed in the instruction booklet, LEGO® Chinese Festivals set 80120 Prosperity Carp Leaping symbolises "achieving one's aspirations through perseverance and determination", and displaying a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate ornament at home can bring good luck in one's career or studies. I think this is a bit contradictory – do you need to work hard if you have the ornament? Personally, I'd put more faith in the hard work part. Nonetheless, it looks like a great model – especially as we haven't seen too many sets with brick-built fish.
Today I return to the rainbow road with a look at the new moulds, recolours, prints and techniques found in 72050 Luigi & Mach 8.
Today we take a look at the honey-loving children's favourite, Winnie The Pooh from LEGO® Disney™ set 43300. The happy bear comes with a large pot dripping with the nectar and buzzing with bees. Let's dive in and examine all the tasty new parts which are included.
