I am not going to lie, Capital City (60200) was not high on my list of sets to buy. However, that does not mean that the set did not interest me. I was intrigued by the signage included in the kit, as well as some of the builds. It was the price tag that set me off. When the opportunity

The new year is rapidly approaching, and with it the first wave of new LEGO® sets for 2020. While January 1 marks the official release date online, these sets are already popping up at other retailers. Recently, the LEGO® Group sent me a couple of little ones to look at before the general release. I have the newest xtra (40375

Another advent has come and gone, which means that it is time for my annual Advent calendar review. Even though the box shows all the calendar contents, I still like to wait before I review the calendar. I like to be surprised to find out what I get each day, so I try not to ruin it for others. At

Christmas is fast approaching. While many of us are wishing for multiple boxes filled with bricks under the tree, why not deck the tree out with LEGO® themed ornaments in anticipation? This year, Hallmark once again released officially licensed LEGO® ornaments in their Keepsake Collection. I usually buy one Hallmark ornament each year to add to my geek tree. For

For Christmas 2019, the LEGO® Group gave its employees an awesome gift. Luckily, LEGO® Ambassadors also received the same present. In celebration of the 20th anniversary of LEGO® Star Wars, a classic ship received a holiday overhaul. For this week’s set review, I am happy to present the Christmas X-wing (4002019)! However, before I get too far into the review,

November 29 marked the official release of the 1989 Batmobile set (76139). This version of the car remains my favourite. To sweeten the deal, early purchases of the set come with a Minifigure scale 1989 Batmobile (Limited Edition) set for free. That exclusive offer runs from November 29 until December 5, 2019, or while supplies last. Both the actual 1989

First dibs went to VIPs on November 23, in conjunction with the double VIP points weekend. Since November 29, the set came with all purchases over $120. I got my hands on

I have to be honest right from the get-go with this review: I know nothing about Overwatch. Well, perhaps that is not entirely true. I know is a video game. But, my familiarity with the theme ends there. Why purchase a themed set I know nothing about? The aesthetic value, and a decent price. This set will look great tucked

Jurassic Park is one of my all time favorite movies. It is a classic that has stood the test of time. While there are moments in the film that date it a little (“It’s an interactive CD-ROM!”), all-in-all the special effects remain fairly impressive. When the LEGO® Group announced a set featuring the epic gates from the film, I was
