We haven’t talked about LEGO Architecture sets recently, but there is one new set that was released at the beginning of the month; the #21036 LEGO Architecture Arc de Triomphe, based on the famous historical landmark in Paris, France. So, let’s see if the LEGO version of the structure lives up to the significance of […] Read more

We have discussed the new #17101 LEGO BOOST Creative Toolbox already (see: LEGO BOOST Creative Toolbox Review), however there is one question that we haven’t addressed in detail; LEGO BOOST’s compatibility with the #31313 LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 robotics system, the LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 system, and the standard LEGO Power Functions system.

At that time, the #2000451 LEGO Education Panama Canal was only available in Panama, so it was very difficult to get hold of a […] Read more

One new set that we haven’t talked about yet is the enormous #21137 LEGO Minecraft Mountain Cave.

So […] Read more

This is a massive set with over 2,860 pieces and the largest LEGO Minecraft set ever released. The set is also an excellent source of basic LEGO elements, including […] Read more
