LEGO® Pick a Brick improvements in Europe, Australia and New Zealand

Posted by Tim Johnson

As a result of more warehouse space in Poland, LEGO® Pick a Brick have just made a massive upgrade to the platform (but not in North America, which remains the same, as it is not served by the Polish facility).

In Europe, Australia and New Zealand, all "Standard" elements are in the process of being moved to "Bestseller" and soon there will be no more Standard elements. There is no concrete information as to whether the same changes will happen in North America in the future.

Parts review: LEGO® Fortnite™ October 2024 sets

Posted by Zachary Hill

For nearly three decades LEGO® bricks have appeared in video game form, and more and more often we're now seeing the reverse. The latest entertainment behemoth to make the leap from console to brick is Fortnite, which received an all-LEGO mode in December 2023. Now, the physical half of this bilateral collaboration between The LEGO Group and Epic Games is dropping into our world.

Review : 76780 Wednesday Addams Figure from LEGO®

Posted by tobymac

Wednesday is a spin-off TV series, following the daughter from The Addams Family as she’s sent to a special school for outcasts. She’s a girl who sees the world with a healthy dose of sarcasm and speaks her mind with a love for the macabre. The second season is expected to premier on Netflix in 2025 and, to prepare us, LEGO is releasing 3 sets based on the show in October 2024. 

I’ve already had a quick look at the LEGO® BrickHeadz™ set 40750 Wednesday & Enid, and today we’re taking a look at 76780 Wednesday Addams Figure. Snap your fingers twice and enter Nevermore Academy with me.

Review + MOC: 43247 Young Simba the Lion King from LEGO® Disney™

Posted by Eero

The June 2024 LEGO® Disney™ set 43247 Young Simba the Lion King is another example of an adult-oriented product based on a children's character. In addition to being a large model of the cartoon lion cub, this set is a treasure trove of Bright Light Orange pieces, also known as Flame Yellowish Orange, or Keetorange as I like to say. So what is this set worth to a builder who has never seen The Lion King?

It's time to crack the LEGO® Da Vinci Code! The new Mona Lisa LEGO® Art set hides not only a mysterious smile but also many recoloured elements to re-imagine the famous painting in bricks. And by the way, the frame puts all previous gold rushes in the shade.

Review: 76291 The Avengers Assemble: Age of Ultron from LEGO® Marvel

Posted by Kev Levell
Depicting the snowy opening sequence of 2015's Avengers: Age Of Ultron, LEGO® Marvel set 76291 The Avenger Assemble: Age of Ultron takes the form of a "frozen moment" that conveys all the frenetic energy of three action-packed minutes.

Review: 71486 Castle Nocturnia from LEGO® DREAMZzz™

Posted by tobymac

Ever since I came into contact with his work when I was a teenager, I’ve been intrigued by the work of Dutch artist M.C. Escher. The way he incorporates math and warped perspective into his art strikes a chord with me. With LEGO® DREAMZzz™ set 71486 Castle Nocturnia, do we finally get a LEGO version of his work?

Are the latest LEGO® Marvel sets worth the money?

Posted by Kev Levell

As I have been reviewing the most recent wave of LEGO® Marvel sets, the issue of relative value has been troubling me increasingly. After building The Milano and Dancing Groot for review and being thoroughly happy with the value of those sets, I moved onto The Helicarrier and I was a little disappointed with what was on offer for the price. I actually felt a little mean about being so critical. Nevertheless, I embarked upon my analysis of set 76291 Avengers Assemble: Age of Ultron with a degree of pessimism.

Before proceeding further, I decided to investigate the relative cost of the August 2024 LEGO Marvel sets against other IP (intellectual property) sets and regular LEGO sets, to judge if my concerns were justified.

LEGO® Marvel review: 76295 The Avengers Helicarrier

Posted by Kev Levell

The S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier is the enormous flying aircraft carrier from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and comics. LEGO® has made two larger scale versions of this behemoth in sets before; 76042 The SHIELD Helicarrier from 2015 and 76153 Avengers Helicarrier from 2020, but now we have the first midi-scale version.

Pieces form Lego Marvel set 76295 The Avengers Helicarrier

The original Helicarrier was a massive set with a similarly massive price tag so it's nice to see set 76295 The Avengers Helicarrier aimed at the adult market with more of a 'regular birthday' price tag. But before an endorsement we need to check the specs and fly it around a bit.

LEGO® Marvel review: 76297 Dancing Groot

Posted by Kev Levell

I am Groot. Does he really need much more of an introduction than that? I am LEGO® Marvel 76297 Dancing Groot! There are only a few parts in the bags of Dancing Groot for us to report on and therefore our focus on parts is going to be a little short on content as a result.

Various lego pieces laid on a table, including one printed with huge eyes.

What Groot does contain in his little white plant pot however is bags of cuteness! He also has a couple of neat little side builds and some additional foliage that allows for a degree of customisation that really does add to the set. I'm getting ahead of myself though, so let's actually get into those bags and see exactly how cute this set really is!

LEGO® DREAMZzz™ review: 71484 Cooper's Robot Dinosaur C-Rex

Posted by tobymac

The LEGO® DREAMZzz™ theme is known for introducing unique new molds, and the August 2024 wave of sets is no exception. I’ve already shown you an overview of all major new elements in the wave, but now it’s time to build the sets for a closer look.

The completed Lego Dreams set 71484 Cooper's Robot Dinosaur C-Rex

We kick off the series with 71484 Cooper's Robot Dinosaur C-Rex. At 917 parts, the set sits in the middle of the wave, which ranges from 226 to 1742 parts. Zoey and Cooper are under attack from enemies who look a bit familiar, and will need to put their dreamcrafting talents to the test to defend themselves. But first, we’ll need to study the elements available to them.

Review: 10368 Chrysanthemum & 10369 Plum Blossom from LEGO® Icons Botanical Collection

Posted by Eero

LEGO® Icons sets tend to be expensive; often priced in the triple digit spending realm. LEGO Icons Botanical Collection sets have been more affordable, with the most expensive to date, 10289 Bird of Paradise (review by Victor Pruvost), breaking the 100 € ceiling in some countries. Outside of the Botanical Collection branding, LEGO has released smaller flower-themed sets within the price range of one or two dozen euros. 

Close up of Lego Chrysanthemum and Plum Blossom

Two new sets available in August 2024, 10368 Chrysanthemum and 10369 Plum Blossom, combine these two ideas – a low price point of about 30 € each, and lifestyle picture-worthy aesthetics and quality. How do they fare, and what are they made of?

The 2024 LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy Milano is huge. At 2090 pieces, you’d be right to expect it to be huge. So far, so good!

The Milano was gifted to Peter Quill (Star-Lord) by the Yondu Ravager Clan; this Milano was gifted to me by LEGO for this review but there, it has to be said, all similarities end.
