Space nerds, we bring good news! LEGO has just listed a new space-themed set inspired by the real-life Lunar Outpost vehicles designed for humanity’s return to the Moon. It is as exciting as it sounds for grown-ups, even though the LEGO Technic Lunar Outpost Moon Rover Space Vehicle (42211) is […]
You’ve probably spotted them before and just thought, “Oh, cool, Mr. Potato Head’s having a weird day.” But nope—they’re from a whole different line by a whole different company. We’re talking about Hasbro’s classic Mr. Potato Head and its chaotic, pop culture-loving cousin, Poptaters by Super Impulse. Since kicking off […]
Enough of LEGO for kids (that we will also want to buy). Time for a new 18+ set that will set construction equipment lovers’ hearts fluttering: the LEGO Technic Volvo EC500 Hybrid Excavator (42215). The set may be dwarfed by the LEGO Technic Liebherr Crawler Crane and appear puny to […]
As a Star Wars purist, I declare that only the original trilogy qualifies as good Star Wars films. But thanks to Disney, even The Phantom Menace now feels like a cinematic gem. That said, the once silly-looking Battle Droid riding a Single Trooper Aerial Platform (STAP) from the film has […]
If you didn’t manage to pick up the LEGO Iron Man Hall of Armor (76125) back in 2019, well, here’s another shot. Granted, the new LEGO Marvel Iron Man’s Laboratory: Hall of Armor (76315) comes with fewer armor pods, but it features a more polished design—and a much better-looking MK38 […]
Sometimes I think LEGO can’t decide what to do with the Fast & Furious franchise. It’s a bit of a mixed bag: from brick-built sets for kids (76917 and 77241) to Technic sets like 42111 and 42204 for older children and teens. And now, it has one squarely aimed at […]
Fans of LEGO Batman—specifically the Batmobile collection—good news! One of the lesser-talked-about but still gloriously over-the-top Batmobiles, the one from Batman Forever (1995), has been immortalized in LEGO bricks. Designed for ages 12 and up (read: definitely for you and me), the LEGO Batman Forever Batmobile (76304) uses 909 pieces […]
RC cars are cool, but (there’s always a ‘but’) they tend to be big, loud, and require enough open space to make your neighbors question your life choices. But what if the RC itch hits you mid-Zoom call or during a rainy-day slump at home? Enter the HPI Racing 1:64 […]
You heard right—Mattel is about to give LEGO and other brick-build brands a serious run for their money. The first wave of products has just been announced, and it’s going to make model car collectors and gearheads very happy. Kicking off the Mattel Brick Shop’s debut collection is the Hot […]
If you’ve played Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, you’ll probably remember Starkiller (aka Galen Marek) and his dramatic finishing move against an AT-ST—slicing it clean in half. We haven’t really seen this move outside of the game—I think—but who cares, because someone has recreated this iconic AT-ST-splitting moment in LEGO. […]
A remote-controlled A-10 Warthog that fires foam darts was gold. You know what else would be gold? An RC tank that fires foam darts. And no, we’re not talking about some fantasy dart-shooting toy—we’re talking about an almost real-looking RC tank with a feeding system inspired by an actual tank’s […]
