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.

Posted by Jonas Kramm

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.

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.

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™

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?

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.

Posted by Tom Loftus

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.

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.
