There are over 100 different Brickheadz characters from Lego now, and two of the newest came in a gift with purchase offer: Hagrid and Buckbeak from the Harry Potter line. Not knowing the source material very well, I fully expect to offend people with wildly inaccurate interpretations of character and plot in this review! Here…

Star Wars Resistance I-TS Transport 75293 Review
I was pleased when TLG announced an exclusive set for the Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge Theme Parks. Even more pleased when I saw it was a ship that did not exist yet as a LEGO set! I knew it would one day have a nice place in my collection. Note the black and white logo…
Ocean Exploration Base 60265 Review
The moment LEGO announced the Ocean Exploration sets for the summer, I absolutely had to get my hands on a couple so I could shoot them underwater. The Ocean Exploration Submarine 60264 set was so fun to shoot! It was easy to hold in one hand, a good size for my 30mm lens’s FOV, and…
NINJAGO Skull Sorcerer’s Dungeons Review
The long running LEGO Ninjago theme is by nature a bit of a genre mashup. It loosely takes the ninja idea and merges that with various other Eastern influences while focussing on giving kids cool ninjas, vehicles, dragons and mechs to play with. In later seasons we have had even more genre clashes with spooky…
Harry Potter CMF Series 2 Review
The new Harry Potter Collectible Minifigure Series is out with its second wave and there are some very cool new parts in it! Let’s start with the standout accessories that AFOLs will probably love whether or not they are Harry Potter fans: the butterbeer mug, the martini glass, and the dope sword. I’ve thrown in…
Display Case Creations Minifigure Stands Review

LEGOLAND NINJAGO World 40429 Review
LEGO sent me one of these exclusive LEGOLAND NINJAGO World sets to review and being a huge fan of minifigures, I went straight for those before putting any bricks together. First of all, look at how adorable these kids’ faces are! I can’t find any entries for them in other sets so these must be…
Tuning Workshop 60258 Review
For decades, The LEGO Group has traditionally released sets dedicated to the repair and maintenance of cars within the Town / City series: service and gas stations, tuning studios and more. 2020 was no exception, among the mandatory police and firefighters 60258 Tuning Workshop found it’s place. It looks like a good offer for your…
Easter Bunny House 853990 Review
Ah, signs of spring are showing here in New York and so I’ve brought out the Easter Bunny House for a creative review. (LEGO sent this set for review purposes but all opinions are mine.) I really like this set for LEGO photography because for just $7.99, you get an interesting subject to shoot and…
