Welcome to Jurassic Park...T.rex Rampage review. Ray Arnold said it best "Hold on to your butts". Upon release, this set was surrounded in a fog of controversy, but still managed to impress. I have high hopes for this set, it sure doesn't look like a six-foot turkey.

Creator 3-in-1 sets offer great builds for great value for money. This week I'm building the Townhouse, Pet Shop, & Cafe set. The city builder that I am, I couldn't resist getting my hands on this set.

Make some space behind your sofa cause LEGO's going supernatural! There's something bad in the neighborhood. Who ya gonna call? JACK AND PARKER!!! Hidden Side arrived on the scene last summer offering a new way to play. I wanna bust some ghosts (but in a way that is not associated with another popular Ghostbusting franchise) so let's get started.

LEGO Technic has been the most consistent theme in LEGO, producing sets for over 40 years. The Car Transporter is one of the bigger ones for the year, and posed me a question I have been ignoring since coming back to LEGO as an adult, "do I like building Technic sets?" Some of my fondest childhood memories of LEGO are Technic sets, I loved them. But after my 'dark ages' I never found the love for them again (probably something to do with the more complex looking studless models). I have avoided taking on reviews for Technic sets as I never felt qualified to give an opinion (leaving Tobymac to do all the Technic heavy lifting). But I can't put it off forever. So here's a review of the first major Technic set I have built in over 20 years.

You may have heard the Bricks LA LEGO Convention was held recently. Some fan sites were advertising it, some had free ticket giveaways. I was lucky enough to be able to attend on the Saturday, here's a peek into what you may have missed.

A good review, this may be. To find out, read you must. An impressive 16" height and posable head, set 75255-1 Yoda boasts...Okay, I'll stop that now, I promise. A spiritual remake of a 2002 set from the always popular Star Wars theme, this set is surely a crowd pleaser, right?

...according to your trusted Admin team. The New Year is upon us, we wanted to share some our our personal favorites from the past 12 months. This list is based purely on sets we enjoyed most (for whatever reason) and not any specific criteria. Enjoy!

For me Christmas officially begins with the release of LEGO's annual Winter Village set. I love Christmas and I love LEGO so naturally these things combined are a total win for me. It was actually the Winter Village sets that brought me out of my LEGO dark ages. I hope 2019's addition doesn't let me down.

Science and LEGO make for good bedfellows! This Bricklink AFOL Designer Set builds tight and tall, I talked with the designer to see if it stand's up and packs in all the details it claims.

Let's get the elephant out of the room, yes this is a Friends set, and I know that's going to immediately turn some of you off, but before you stop reading please give me a few minutes to tell you why you should buy this set. I've revealed the conclusion at the start of the review (a big review no-no) but I want you to love this set as much as I do. Hailing from the busy streets, tranquil meadows, adventure-filled jungles, and sleepy suburbs of Heartlake City, LEGO have opened Heartlake City's Amusement Pier, grab your fanny-pack, we're going to the seaside!
