Posted by Elspeth De Montes

LEGO® 41838 Travel Moments is billed as a collaborative build to display travel memories and mementos. There are some new prints and a handful of recolours to look at, plus we will answer this burning question: where are all those colours hidden in the final model?

Review: 10368 Chrysanthemum & 10369 Plum Blossom from LEGO® Icons Botanical Collection

Posted by Eero

LEGO® Icons sets tend to be expensive; often priced in the triple digit spending realm. LEGO Icons Botanical Collection sets have been more affordable, with the most expensive to date, 10289 Bird of Paradise (review by Victor), breaking the 100 € ceiling in some countries. Outside of the Botanical Collection branding, LEGO has released smaller flower-themed sets within the price range of one or two dozen euros.

Two new sets available in August 2024, 10368 Chrysanthemum and 10369 Plum Blossom, combine these two ideas – a low price point of about 30 € each, and lifestyle picture-worthy aesthetics and quality. How do they fare, and what are they made of?

LEGO® Marvel review: 76286 The Milano

Posted by Kev Levell

I love a big spaceship! I won’t lie. A nice, big, ostentatious spaceship. If it is made out of plastic LEGO® bricks and all ready to be built by me and my son to start the school summer holidays off with a bang – then even better!

The 2024 LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy Milano is huge. At 2090 pieces, you’d be right to expect it to be huge. So far, so good!

The Milano was gifted to Peter Quill (Star-Lord) by the Yondu Ravager Clan; this Milano was gifted to me by LEGO for this review but there, it has to be said, all similarities end.

LEGO® City review: 60409 Yellow Mobile Construction Crane

Posted by Tom Loftus

Loftus? Lofty? There's a joke there somewhere. Anyway, today we take a look at LEGO® City 60409 Yellow Mobile Construction Crane. Confusingly, it's anything but LEGO yellow. Instead, it sports a bright light orange colour scheme and brings with it a host of recolours, new moulds and prints.

LEGO® Friends review: water fun with sets 42623, 42625 and 42630

Posted by tobymac

There are three sets left to review from our batch of June 2024 LEGO® Friends sets, and 42623 Beach Water Scooter, 42625 Beach Smoothie Stand, and 42630 Heartlake City Water Park all depict fun in the water. Just as I started building these, the summer sun finally appeared here in the Netherlands, after weeks of rain. So it’s the perfect occasion to have a cooldown, be it at the pool or on the beach.
