Review: 11389 Project Hail Mary from LEGO® Icons

I boarded a special new kind of spaceship on a suicide mission. I went to Tau Ceti and suffered some intense, coma-induced amnesia. I found an alien life form and called him Rocky. Rocky introduced me to a new material called Xenonite. Then I located the source of Astrophage and how to...

I didn't really, I just got a bit absorbed in reading Andy Weir's wonderful 2021 book Project Hail Mary in preparation for the upcoming movie of the same name starring Ryan Gosling, and now I have been lucky enough to review the LEGO® Icons set 11389 Project Hail Mary. Spoilers may follow.

LEGO® Pick a Brick: new elements in March 2026

Today, Tuesday 3 March 2026, LEGO® Pick a Brick have already uploaded to the service 47 of the 51 new pieces on their March list. They supply the list in advance – things don't always totally match up with what goes up though. Perhaps the other 4 are coming in an hour or so.

It's a small month, because these are pieces from November 2025 sets, but there will be some exciting recoloured parts included: the many in 10366 Tropical Aquarium (including its new fin mould), nice light bluish grey ones in 10356 Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D (but no IP locked pieces of course), and a couple of arches from 21363 The Goonies as well as some minifigure hair.

Review: 40921 Scaled-Up Blue Astronaut Minifigure from LEGO® Seasons & Occasions

Released just a few hours ago, the latest upscaled LEGO® minifigure is what so many of us have been waiting for: Classic Space! Set 40921 Scaled-Up Blue Astronaut Minifigure brings mid-1980s nostalgia to your desk, as well as some new elements that are out of this world.

One of three gifts with purchase (GwP) currently available on LEGO.com, set 40906 Restaurants of the World: Japan is a bite-sized morsel of LEGO® goodness for LEGO® Insiders members. It is, presumably, the first in a series of four, but unlike previous "... of the World" collections, it comes with a minifigure: a sushi chef. Better still, that minifigure comes with an exclusive torso! Let's take a stool and see what's on offer.

Review: 76330 Batman™ Logo from LEGO® DC Batman™

Set 76330 Batman™ Logo is one of four LEGO® DC Batman™sets currently available for pre-order and releasing on 1 March 2026.

While the other three sets are cars, the Batman logo is the one that really caught my eye when the sets were first revealed. With a gold Batman adorned with print celebrating the 20th anniversary of LEGO Batman, I wanted to take a closer look at the Dark Knight's famous emblem.
