Every summer, the LEGO® Group delivers a new science based City sub-theme. I am always pretty quick to jump on these since I am a bit of a science geek at heart. This year, we get a much anticipated return to space. I have a number of sets from this assortment in line for review over the next few weeks,

This week’s LEGO® set review is the Ninjago Monastery of Spinjitzu (70670). When I first returned to LEGO® as an adult, I ignored the Ninjago theme. I focused on sets that could build up my LEGO® city. After the Ninjago Movie, and sets like Ninjago City (click here to read my review) and Ninjago City Docks (click here to read my

I really enjoyed the LEGO® Group’s return to the Arctic with the City theme of 2018. The sets focused on the discovery of body fossils. As such, they brought us woolly mammoth and sabretooth cat figurines. With the Arctic Exploration Truck, we also saw the return of an old favorite: the polar bear. I already had a polar bear from
