Parts review: LEGO® Fortnite™ October 2024 sets

Posted by Zachary Hill

For nearly three decades LEGO® bricks have appeared in video game form, and more and more often we're now seeing the reverse. The latest entertainment behemoth to make the leap from console to brick is Fortnite, which received an all-LEGO mode in December 2023. Now, the physical half of this bilateral collaboration between The LEGO Group and Epic Games is dropping into our world.

Posted by tobymac

We’re finishing off the LEGO® Wednesday sets with the title character's living quarters featured in 76781 Wednesday & Enid's Dorm Room.

Review : 76780 Wednesday Addams Figure from LEGO®

Posted by tobymac

Wednesday is a spin-off TV series, following the daughter from The Addams Family as she’s sent to a special school for outcasts. She’s a girl who sees the world with a healthy dose of sarcasm and speaks her mind with a love for the macabre. The second season is expected to premier on Netflix in 2025 and, to prepare us, LEGO is releasing 3 sets based on the show in October 2024. 

I’ve already had a quick look at the LEGO® BrickHeadz™ set 40750 Wednesday & Enid, and today we’re taking a look at 76780 Wednesday Addams Figure. Snap your fingers twice and enter Nevermore Academy with me.

Review + MOC: 43247 Young Simba the Lion King from LEGO® Disney™

Posted by Eero

The June 2024 LEGO® Disney™ set 43247 Young Simba the Lion King is another example of an adult-oriented product based on a children's character. In addition to being a large model of the cartoon lion cub, this set is a treasure trove of Bright Light Orange pieces, also known as Flame Yellowish Orange, or Keetorange as I like to say. So what is this set worth to a builder who has never seen The Lion King?

Posted by Jonas Kramm

It's time to crack the LEGO® Da Vinci Code! The new Mona Lisa LEGO® Art set hides not only a mysterious smile but also many recoloured elements to re-imagine the famous painting in bricks. And by the way, the frame puts all previous gold rushes in the shade. Let's have a closer look at the colour layers while the paint is still fresh.

Review: 76291 The Avengers Assemble: Age of Ultron from LEGO® Marvel

Posted by Kev Levell
Depicting the snowy opening sequence of 2015's Avengers: Age Of Ultron, LEGO® Marvel set 76291 The Avenger Assemble: Age of Ultron takes the form of a "frozen moment" that conveys all the frenetic energy of three action-packed minutes.

The action takes place in a frosty forest setting outside a Hydra research facility in the fictional Eastern European country of Sokovia. The Avengers are all here, looking cool: Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Thor and Hulk.

Review: 71486 Castle Nocturnia from LEGO® DREAMZzz™

Posted by tobymac

Ever since I came into contact with his work when I was a teenager, I’ve been intrigued by the work of Dutch artist M.C. Escher. The way he incorporates math and warped perspective into his art strikes a chord with me. With LEGO® DREAMZzz™ set 71486 Castle Nocturnia, do we finally get a LEGO version of his work?

Are the latest LEGO® Marvel sets worth the money?

Posted by Kev Levell

As I have been reviewing the most recent wave of LEGO® Marvel sets, the issue of relative value has been troubling me increasingly. After building The Milano and Dancing Groot for review and being thoroughly happy with the value of those sets, I moved onto The Helicarrier and I was a little disappointed with what was on offer for the price. I actually felt a little mean about being so critical. Nevertheless, I embarked upon my analysis of set 76291 Avengers Assemble: Age of Ultron with a degree of pessimism.

Before proceeding further, I decided to investigate the relative cost of the August 2024 LEGO Marvel sets against other IP (intellectual property) sets and regular LEGO sets, to judge if my concerns were justified.

Review: 76964 Dinosaur Fossils: T. rex Skull from LEGO® Jurassic World

Posted by Kevin J. Walter

After LEGO launched the grey goat on Pick a Brick, we now suggest something you can use them for: an extinct creature that loves devouring goats (according to a famous movie). Set 76964 Dinosaur Fossils: T. rex Skull was released in January 2024 and although the set comes without a goat, it still has some tasty elements.
