This summer is going to be full of magic thanks to the newest wave of Harry Potter sets. The largest and most magical of these (in my opinion) is absolutely 12 Grimmauld Place (76408). This unassuming townhome is in reality, the hideout of the Order of the Phoenix. In the books & films, the Order is a group of brave

A while ago, I bought 13.6 kg of random LEGO® bricks off of Facebook Marketplace. When perusing the listings, I noticed some interesting parts in the collection. The bin ended up inspiring the Bargain Bricks series here at True North Bricks. Now, it also produces a number of interesting throwback reviews. This week, we take a deeper look at the

HAPPY STAR WARS DAY FRIENDS!! Our May the 4th celebration continues with Part II of the Ahsoka Tano Appreciation Post. She’s such an awesome character that she warrants two articles. Thankfully her appearances in LEGO®️ form are manageable and two parts will do. For this post, I will be looking at and casually reviewing three current sets with Ahsoka as

Consequently, I ordered some

The tiger is my favorite animal. It has been since high school. A few years ago, I was thrilled when the LEGO® Group produced a minifig scale tiger figurine. While I did not purchase the set it came in, I did order one from Bricklink. Now in 2022, the Year of the Tiger according to the Chinese zodiac, we get

The True North Bricks pre-release Jurassic World Dominion review marathon continues with a new tyrannosaur! What Jurassic World wave would be complete without one? Truthfully, this wave has two. However, the other is a 4+ set aimed at younger children. Personally, I am more drawn to the color scheme on today’s variant. On top of that, our review set of

Our pre-release Jurassic World review-fest continues with a look at Pyroraptor and Dilophosaurus Transport (76951). We have already taken a look at T. rex Breakout and Triceratops Pickup Truck Ambush. In terms of price, this pyroraptor set is one of the mid-range kits in the Dominion wave. However, it is one of the more interesting mid-range sets as well. You

I love LEGO® dinosaurs. As soon as I learned about the Jurassic World Dominion lineup, most of the sets made my wish list. Among those sets was the topic of today’s review: Triceratops Pickup Truck Ambush (76950). Truthfully, I had little interest in the set itself. I wanted the triceratops. I already have one triceratops… but it was lonely. Wasn’t
