Review: 21363 The Goonies from LEGO® Ideas

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.

Grantmasters' MOCs using new LEGO® elements: The Master's Return

Justin Cook (aka Grantmasters) has previously wowed us with his Parts Fest contributions and his MOCs with parts from LEGO® Trolls World Tour sets – but it is 5 years since we last featured his work! His Flickr and Instagram feeds have also been notably quiet on the LEGO front recently, so we sent him some new parts to inspire him.

We sent Justin two sets from the LEGO® One Piece theme – 75637 Buggy the Clown's Circus Tent and 75638 Battle at Arlong Park – as well as 77058 Goldie's Cosy House from LEGO® Animal Crossing. He also used elements from a couple of other recent sets to create these fun MOCs to inspire you.

Review: 21362 Mineral Collection from LEGO® Ideas

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.
