A while back, the LEGO® Group sent me a few of the 2019 City Mars Exploration sets to review. I decided to save the best until last. By best, I mean the one that I was most looking forward to. On the quest to reach Mars, mankind will need a stop over en route. Minifigures are ahead of the game,

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

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

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

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
