Review and MOCs: 76328 The Classic TV Series Batmobile™ from LEGO® Batman™

Superman hit the movie theatres last week. As a child he was my favourite superhero so I'm pleased that we have a less gritty cinematic version of the comics' legend incoming. Disappointingly, there will be no LEGO® Superman sets, so instead, I have taken a look at one of my other childhood favourite crime-fighting superheroes: Batman™!

Back in October last year, 76328 Batman™: The Classic TV Series Batmobile™ was released and as soon as I saw the initial reveal pictures, I wanted to investigate the set and its new windscreens.

Review: 10357 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C from LEGO® Icons

A balance between a big engine and a lightweight chassis is the recipe for a nimble race car. Racer-turned-engineer Carroll Shelby and his team took those ingredients, wrapped them in British style, and the Shelby Cobra roared to life. LEGO® Icons pay homage to one of the most legendary cars in American motorsport with set 10357 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C.

The roadster's body reveals new curvaceous LEGO moulds which make its accurate shape possible, but even further improvements to LEGO colour formulations ensure consistency too. Read on to see all the new pieces and improvements to dark blue elements, from bumper-to-bumper.
