There’s something oddly heartwarming about a desk lamp with more screen presence than most actors. And now, that little hopping icon of Pixar’s cinematic universe—Luxo Jr.—has bounced into the brick-built world. Yes, my friends, LEGO has immortalized the iconic lamp in plastic with the new LEGO Ideas Disney Pixar Luxo […]
Life-size Formula 1 race cars are not new. In recent years, we saw life-size creations of the classic MP4/4 and the modern McLaren F1 race car, but neither could be driven. This year at the Miami Grand Prix, LEGO said, “Hold my brick.” And just like that, 10 fully drivable, […]
Here’s another space-related set from LEGO. This time, it’s for adults and packs a healthy dose of nostalgia. Folks, meet the LEGO Icons Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (10360). That’s right, my friends. LEGO didn’t just bring back the iconic Space Shuttle; it also includes the equally iconic Shuttle Carrier Aircraft—specifically, the […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
Fortnite’s LEGO invasion just got weirder in the best way. After launching its first wave of icons like the Fortnite Battle Bus set and Peely Bone, the LEGO Fortnite lineup is expanding with four new builds—including Klombo and Mecha Team Leader in brick form for the very first time. Leading […]
