Set Review ➟ 80057 LEGO® Monkie Kid™ Nezha’s Ring of Fire Mech
There’s a whole lot of something going on with this model, and then there’s some more, which poses the question of where to begin. This has to be the busiest mech model certainly in the Monkie Kid Line, and probably in the whole LEGO line. It’s busy with things to do and busy with things to look at…
Set Review ➟ 80058 LEGO® Monkie Kid™ Celestial Pagoda
The pagoda measures about 62cm/24.25in tall. That’s 6cm taller than Megapolis City. Being fair about it, though, Megapolis city has 15cm of spire and the pagoda’s is less than half that. The pagoda’s spiritual cousin is the Heavenly Realms model, and that is about 38cm tall. But what the pagoda has…
Set Review ➟ 76286 LEGO® Guardians of the Galaxy – The Milano
Unusual. There’s a lot of unusual with this set. Unusual good and unusual not so good and some just plain unusual. The first unusual note is that the instructions arrive in a cardboard sleeve with Duplo imagery. The backside of the sleeve has a warning statement in several languages, which…
Set Review ➟ 76780 LEGO® Wednesday Addams Figure

Set Review ➟ 76781 LEGO® Wednesday and Enid’s Dorm Room
When the offer came through for reviewing this set and 76780 Wednesday Addams Figure, we had no idea what the sets were. The only information was 76780 and 76781. Some days later the grapevine indicated that they were Wednesday sets. I told the wife; she had immediate interest. When the sets arrived…
Set Review ➟ 77073 LEGO® Fortnite® Battle Bus
The Battle Bus is a blue bus, and not the blue bus Jim Morrison wrote about. Nope. The Battle Bus is basically a blue school bus and it is definitely not tricked out for battle as it does not feature any weapons: no guns, no shoot-yer-eye-out shooters, no cannons, no flamethrowers, no flick-fire…
Set Review ➟ 10391 LEGO® Pharrell Williams Over The Moon
While this set finds itself in the Creator Expert line, the actual build is far from expert level and is actually one of the simpler builds that I have encountered recently. There is some SNOT action and a little bit of sliding clips onto bars and bars and pins into holes and none of it is difficult…
