Review: 76924 Mercedes-AMG G 63 & SL 63 from LEGO® Speed Champions

LEGO® Speed Champions 76924 Mercedes-AMG G 63 & Mercedes-AMG SL 63 comes with several recolours, exclusive prints and two builds that couldn't be more different from each other – aside from the fact they're both cars, of course!

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

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?

Review: 40694 River Camping Adventure GwP from LEGO® Friends

From tomorrow Monday 16 September, set 40694 River Camping Adventure is the gift with purchase with select LEGO® themes. Here’s your early look at what this cute LEGO® Friends set contains!

Review: 31213 Mona Lisa from LEGO® Art

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. Let's have a closer look at the colour layers while the paint is still fresh.

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

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.

The action takes place in a frosty forest setting outside a Hydra research facility in the fictional Eastern European country of Sokovia. The Avengers are all here, looking cool: Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Thor and Hulk.

Review: 71486 Castle Nocturnia from LEGO® DREAMZzz™

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?

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.

Review: 80058 Celestial Pagoda from LEGO® Monkie Kid™

80058 Celestial Pagoda is the largest set in the June 2024 wave of releases for the LEGO® Monkie Kid™ theme. It's a good-looking building with some decent architectural features, and comes with seven minifigures plus Baby Mo the cat. Let's take a closer look at the unique and unusual elements which are included.

The LEGO® Pharrell Williams collaborative set 10391 Over the Moon has been revealed, in advance of the October release of the film Piece by Piece, which features LEGO animation. 

Review: 76964 Dinosaur Fossils: T. rex Skull from LEGO® Jurassic World

After LEGO launched the grey goat on Pick a Brick, we now suggest something you can use them for: an extinct creature that loves devouring goats (according to a famous movie). Set 76964 Dinosaur Fossils: T. rex Skull was released in January 2024 and although the set comes without a goat, it still has some tasty elements.

Review: 77092 Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 from LEGO® The Legend of Zelda™

Hey! Listen! The LEGO® Great Deku Tree is a brand new set based on the beloved Nintendo video game series, The Legend of Zelda™. As the 2-in-1 name suggests, the parts in this set can build one of two trees: the Deku tree as it appears in the original Ocarina of Time game or the more recent Breath of the Wild. There's a lot to explore including new moulds, recolours, and exclusive figures. Let's go!

Review & MOC: 76925 Aston Martin Vantage Safety Car & AMR23 from LEGO® Speed Champions

LEGO® Speed Champions has long been in pole position as a theme, bringing us great-looking cars put together with brilliant building techniques and useful new elements. It seems 76925 Aston Martin Vantage Safety Car & AMR23 is another winner...

Review: 60420 Yellow Construction Excavator from LEGO® City

60420 Yellow Construction Excavator is the smaller of the two construction-themed LEGO® City sets that were released in June 2024.

An obvious companion piece to 60409 Yellow Mobile Construction Crane which I recently reviewed, there are a number of recolours, prints and minifigure parts shared between both sets. Even so, the Excavator is a fine model in its own right, boasting its own selection of unique and interesting parts. Let's take a look.

Review: 40691 Mythical Pegasus gift with purchase from LEGO® Creator

What's better than a unicorn? A flying horse that transforms into a dragon and a bird! The current gift with purchase, running until 28 August 2024, is set 40691 Mythical Pegasus: a LEGO® Creator 3-in-1 set.

LEGO® Marvel review: 76295 The Avengers Helicarrier

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.

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.

21351 The Nightmare Before Christmas revealed by LEGO® Ideas

A The Nightmare Before Christmas LEGO® set has been desired by fans of the 1993 film for a long time, but their nightmare turns to joy very soon.

The LEGO® Ideas submission by Simon Scott becomes set 21351 Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas with a release in September 2024!  We've taken a look at the official images just revealed, and spotted a few interesting new things to tell you about.

LEGO® Sonic the Hedgehog™: new parts for August 2024

Like some kind of speed-crazed blue rodent, LEGO® Sonic the Hedgehog™ sets aren't slowing down. Now officially in the second year of playsets, the video game theme released three sets in August 2024: 76997 Tails' Adventure Boat, 76998 Knuckles and the Master Emerald Shrine, and 76999 Super Sonic vs. Egg Drillster; each packed with recolours, new prints, and more rare elements. 

That might be as expected, but were you expecting a new LEGO® Technic brick mould? Neither was New Elementary! Read on to see how The LEGO Group has stepped it up in each of the newest Sonic sets.

LEGO® Marvel review: 76297 Dancing Groot

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.

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

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.

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

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. 

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?

LEGO® Marvel review: 76286 The Milano

I love a big spaceship! I won’t lie. A nice, big, ostentatious spaceship. If it is made out of plastic LEGO® bricks and all ready to be built by me and my son to start the school summer holidays off with a bang – then even better!

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.

LEGO® City review: 60409 Yellow Mobile Construction Crane

Loftus? Lofty? There's a joke there somewhere. Anyway, today we take a look at LEGO® City 60409 Yellow Mobile Construction Crane. Confusingly, it's anything but LEGO yellow. Instead, it sports a bright light orange colour scheme and brings with it a host of recolours, new moulds and prints.

LEGO® Friends review: water fun with sets 42623, 42625 and 42630

There are three sets left to review from our batch of June 2024 LEGO® Friends sets, and 42623 Beach Water Scooter, 42625 Beach Smoothie Stand, and 42630 Heartlake City Water Park all depict fun in the water. Just as I started building these, the summer sun finally appeared here in the Netherlands, after weeks of rain. So it’s the perfect occasion to have a cooldown, be it at the pool or on the beach.
