Review: 10356 Star Trek The Next Generation – U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D from LEGO® Icons

Posted by Kevin J. Walter


For Black Friday this year, LEGO® Icons goes bold(l)y where no one has gone before. With 10356 Star Trek: The Next Generation: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, we get the first LEGO® Star Trek licensed set ever. 

Bringing the Enterprise D seems like the obvious choice, given the popularity of The Next Generation (TNG) among Star Trek fans and overall TV viewers. But it also brings challenges and problems.

Posted by Alex Campos

It’s time to turn the spotlight to the LEGO® Technic 42210 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) Car. We have already taken a close look at all the new elements in 42210 in our June 2025 Technic wave article, and 42209 Volvo L120 Electric Wheel Loader has been analysed, so let's drift onto the next set and see how those new elements were used in the Nissan Skyline GT-R.

Posted by tobymac

Review: LEGO® 40775 Mini Knight's Castle gift with purchase

Posted by Tim Johnson


Following its initial availability over LEGO® Insiders Weekend, the Gift with Purchase (GwP) 40775 Mini Knight's Castle. will return for the Black Friday / Cyber Monday long weekend and be available to all shoppers, rather than just LEGO Insiders. 

Yes, it comes at the shockingly high threshold of 250€/ $250/ £225/ AU$410, which is out of reach for many people. However, if you intend spending that amount on LEGO sets and/or Pick a Brick parts in the near future, and you love classic sets or microscale architecture, or just any great GwP – this comes highly recommended. I think it is just exquisite.

It also features two minifigures and a seating area. Let's take a sip of what it has to offer.

Review: 77255 Lightning McQueen from LEGO® Speed Champions

Posted by Thomas Jenkins

“Speed. I am speed.” That’s the mantra of Lightning McQueen – and now, he truly lives up to it as the star of the new LEGO® Speed Champions set 77255 Lightning McQueen.

It’s not the first time cars from blockbuster movies have been recreated in the LEGO Speed Champions line, but it seems The LEGO Group and Disney wanted to "give the folks a little sizzle" for the 20th anniversary of the first Cars movie with a bold and fun departure from the usual LEGO Speed Champions lineup.

Following our interview with the designers, today we'll be looking at upcoming LEGO® Icons set 10366 Tropical Aquarium, which will be released this week. The set has attracted as much attention for both its recolours and its price, so I was keen to take a closer look.

Set 40773 The Goonies: The Walshes' Attic will be available as a Gift with Purchase (GwP) from 1 to 7 November 2025 with purchases of LEGO® Ideas set 21363 The Goonies, while stocks last.

Review: 21363 The Goonies from LEGO® Ideas

Posted by Elspeth De Montes

Set 21363 The Goonies originated from a challenge on the LEGO® Ideas platform to recreate some iconic 1980s memories in LEGO form.



With 12 minifigures included, there's a perfect number for a whole team (well, at least a women's lacrosse team).  The characters and the fun, swashbuckling escapade storyline made The Goonies a cult classic, so let's see what the set has to offer.

Review: 76786 Morticia's Cottage from LEGO® Wednesday

In Season 2 of the popular Netflix series Wednesday, her parents Morticia and Gomez Addams move into Rotwood Cottage which is situated within the grounds of her school, Nevermore Academy.

The Gothic-style cottage in the series was redecorated by Morticia in her unique style, so let's see if the designers have managed to capture some of the fun details, in LEGO® Wednesday set 76786 Morticia's Cottage.

Review: 21362 Mineral Collection from LEGO® Ideas

Lego Ideas set 21362 Mineral Collection on display with its shelves
Available from tomorrow, Wednesday 1 October 2025, set 21362 Mineral Collection is the 70th LEGO® Ideas set to hit the shelves! The idea was submitted by Dario Del Frate (user ddf72). His proposal was quite a bit larger than the official model, but I think the designer has done a good job in retaining the spirit of the original submission while bringing the smaller version to fruition. Let's take a closer look at the interesting elements and see how the rocks are put together.

We have already discussed the main controversial element within this set – the latest 3D printed offering from LEGO – but there's more to this train than one element. Let's see what else it has to offer.

Review: LEGO® Holiday Season sets 40806, 40809, 40812 & 40820

Posted by tobymac

It’s only 89 days till Christmas! Time to start decorating, and as in previous years, The LEGO Group is releasing sets in various sizes to help you get into the holiday spirit. This year, we get tree ornaments, a gingerbread house, an up-scaled Saint Nick, and even LEGO® Star Wars™ joins in the festivities. But will Santa's sack also contain new elements for us?

Released in the latest LEGO® Creator wave, 31175 Unicorn Castle is quite striking with its bright pastel color scheme and equine inhabitants. Interest piqued, we thought the set was worth a closer look to determine whether it is really as magical as it seems...

Review: 21361 Gremlins – Gizmo from LEGO® Ideas

Posted by Eero

LEGO® Ideas set 21361 Gremlins: Gizmo originates from a contest on that platform, and I'm happy seeing a LEGO Ideas set that's not in minifigure scale. But is this little Mogwai a companion worth all the strict rules, and the threat of Gremlins infestation?
