Ever since LEGO launched its Botanicals sets, the Danish toymaker has given hope to members of the Association of Brown Thumb. Just kidding. There’s no such organization, but the brown thumb is real. And if you happen to be cursed with one, LEGO has more Botanicals for you to fill […]
More good news from LEGO for folks who adore the Star Wars prequels (1999–2005). The three Battle Droid figures from the Republic Juggernaut have backup: the LEGO Star Wars Battle of Felucia Separatist MTT (75435)—that’s if you’re willing to finance the Separatists with a grand US$159.99 investment. Galactic credits not […]
The Star Wars prequels were loathed by many Star Wars purists (me included), but thanks to the Skywalker saga, everything changed. The prequels became cool, and suddenly vehicles like the Republic Juggernaut looked super cool, too. That said, if you now find the Republic Juggernaut oh-so-desirable, LEGO is giving you […]
You know how I sometimes say that LEGO bricks are too large to create small builds? I liken each element to a pixel, and because of the large “pixels”, creating small, intricate builds becomes less convincing. Well, I guess I was wrong. One LEGO fan, redditor Pohaturon (u/po_matoran_craftsman), has proved […]
I don’t know why there is a need to include ‘Super Mario’ in the new LEGO Game Boy building set. Game Boy is just as iconic on its own, much like the NES. Perhaps it’s what Nintendo wanted. Or maybe “LEGO Game Boy” sounded like an actual handheld console co-branded […]
We have more news coming out of LEGO, and this one should tickle the fancy of fans of “I’m Batman.” Bat fans, behold the LEGO Batman Arkham Asylum (76300)! The set packs a whopping 2,953 elements, letting you build the iconic (fictional) madhouse and play out the mayhem in LEGO […]
Good news, castle enthusiasts. Soon you’ll get to build another iconic fortress, brick by brick. Joining the LEGO Architecture Himeji Castle is another icon of history: the Neuschwanstein Castle. The LEGO Architecture Neuschwanstein Castle (21063), as it is called, uses a cool 3,455 pieces to recreate the majestic 19th-century Romanesque […]
It is not clear what the next “flagship” Technic supercar set will be. I am sure someone out there is keeping their fingers crossed for it to be the Centodieci. But until it actually happens, petrolheads can look forward to building a smaller-scale one: the LEGO Speed Champions Bugatti Centodieci […]
I always have the impression that Herschel Supply Co. is targeted at urban adventurers because their bags tend to have a rugged, military style. Plus, the brand name sounds like a surplus store. Today I realize it is quite that. Herschel has always had its sights set on urban millennials […]
If you are a fan of LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, well, you are in luck. Joining The Dark Falcon is the hot rod colorway-style snowspeeder vehicle as seen in Season 2 of the series. The LEGO Star Wars The Force Burner Snowspeeder (75414), as it is called, is […]
Here’s a reminder: LEGO is great not because of the various IPs. It’s great because it lets you explore your creativity and/or build the dream-turned-plastic-brick creations of others. The latest to join the latter is this beautiful set born out of the LEGO crowdsourcing platform, LEGO Ideas: the LEGO Ideas […]
