Review: 10357 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C from LEGO® Icons

Posted by Zachary Hill

A balance between a big engine and a lightweight chassis is the recipe for a nimble race car. Racer-turned-engineer Carroll Shelby and his team took those ingredients, wrapped them in British style, and the Shelby Cobra roared to life. LEGO® Icons pay homage to one of the most legendary cars in American motorsport with set 10357 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C.

The roadster's body reveals new curvaceous LEGO moulds which make its accurate shape possible, but even further improvements to LEGO colour formulations ensure consistency too. Read on to see all the new pieces and improvements to dark blue elements, from bumper-to-bumper.

Set 21063 Neuschwanstein Castle is the latest to be announced by the LEGO® Architecture theme, and is available from 1 August 2025.

Posted by Kev Levell
Flaming hot-rods! Today we're looking at a souped-up LEGO® Star Wars™ T-47 snowspeeder with flames painted up the sides.

Season 2 of LEGO® Star Wars™: Rebuild the Galaxy begins on 19 September 2025, subtitled Pieces of the Past. How the Force Burner Snowspeeder™ fits into the narrative remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: The LEGO Group have definitely turned up the heat on its design, with a sizzling colour palette.

Posted by Thomas Jenkins

The January 2025 wave of LEGO® Super Mario™ sets introduced 4 new moulds. Mamma Mia! As we are already way over halfway through the year we thought it was about time to take a look at them. So, without further ado: Let's-a-go!

Tile Special 2 x 2 with Ring (6805) from LEGO® Classic

Posted by Elspeth De Montes

We spotted a new mould that, at time of writing, can only found in two LEGO® Classic sets from January 2025: 11042 Creative Happy Box and 11040 Magical Transparent Box.

Many views of Lego piece Tile, Modified 2 x 2 with Ring (part 6805)

It's a 2x2 tile with a vertical ring, and seems to be a way to hang models in the two classic sets. We are sure it offers more creative possibilities than that, so let's set the New Elementary Hive Mind to work and take a closer look.

Review: 76973 Raptor & Titanosaurus Tracking Mission from LEGO® Jurassic World™

Posted by Kev Levell
Welcome to the final review in our LEGO® Jurassic World™ Rebirth June 2025 coverage. As has been the case with preceding sets in the theme, each set in this latest wave has been defined by the dinosaurs featured in it. This set has got a big one; the biggest dinosaur made by The LEGO Group to date, I believe.

With such a biggie included, I wonder whether the titanosaurus leaves room for anything else? Let's start by taking a look at the parts.
