Review: 40506 LEGO® Fabuland® Tribute from LEGO® House

It's no secret that New Elementary has a soft spot for the LEGO® FABULAND® theme. We've covered it on many occasions, examining its colours, exclusive elements, discontinued moulds and legacy.

Evidently, we're not the only ones with a fondness for Fabuland, as it is the subject of this year's LEGO® House exclusive set, 40506 LEGO Fabuland Tribute. This will be the sixth LEGO House exclusive set to be released and you can read more about the design process in our article covering the reveal of the LEGO Fabuland Tribute set. 

LEGO® House: the LEGO® Botanicals takeover

There’s never a bad time for some botanical building! That is clearly the ethos at LEGO® House in Denmark in 2025, because when they were closed over January, the LEGO florists moved in. 

I visited recently to discover their new displays, and was met in LEGO Square at a new big flower wall by none other than the blooming LEGO House Master Builder himself, Stuart Harris who personally guided me around the areas where the the LEGO® Botanicals have taken root. 

Parts review: sets 42206 Oracle Red Bull Racing RB20 and 42207 Ferrari SF-24 from LEGO® Technic

The tires have been warmed up, the lights are turning on one by one, and the grid is ready to speed off.

In March 2025, LEGO® Technic will release 42206 Oracle Red Bull Racing RB20 F1 Car and 42207 Ferrari SF-24 F1 Car: two sets depicting large scale replicas of the cars that these two teams used in the 2024 F1 season. It’s a race to the finish line to see which brings the best new elements for us.

Pick a Brick: update on new parts additions, and future enhancements

This weekend, the huge LEGO® fan event Bricktastic takes place in Manchester, UK (not too late to get tickets!) and among the many attendees, the LEGO.com Pick a Brick team are in attendance all weekend. 

One of the display items on their table is this collection of elements, which are from sets released in October, November and December 2024. These are the next elements that will be added to the Pick a Brick service. However, this will not happen in March 2025 as expected: the team have taken the decision to halt adding new pieces for the time being. 

Read on for the details, as well as some good news: information from the Pick a Brick presentation they gave today detailing exciting enhancements to the service for 2025!

Review: 10345 Flower Arrangement from LEGO® Botanicals

Some of us may still be in the depths of winter, but the flowers in the LEGO® Botanicals collection are always in full bloom, ready to cheer anyone up, whatever the time of year! 

10345 Flower Arrangement is the theme's latest and largest offering featuring a spectacular display of camellia, peonies, hydrangea, and lillies to name but a few. And what's more, they come in their own LEGO vase! 

Abundant recolours and plentiful nice parts usage are a matter of course for this theme, so let's take a look at what 10345 Flower Arrangement has to offer the casual or dedicated LEGO builder.

Revealed: 40506 LEGO® Fabuland® Tribute exclusive set from LEGO® House

LEGO® House have just released details of their 2025 exclusive set, 40506 LEGO® Fabuland® Tribute, available only in their shop in Billund, Denmark from March 2025. This children's theme that ran from 1979 to 1989 is greatly loved by LEGO fans of all ages, so we expect this exclusive set will prove popular.

We saw the set in September 2024 at Fan Media Days and finally we can show you those pictures! Edward Elephant, Joe Crow, Dr Lucy Lamb and Clive Crocodile have formed a band and are playing by a tree.

Review: 80116 Trotting Lantern from LEGO® Spring Festival

I have already reviewed 80117 Good Fortune and the accompanying Gift with Purchase 40756 Lucky Knots, as well as a thorough run-down of all of the new and interesting parts in these sets, so I won't be going over the new elements in any detail here. Instead, I will give you a flavour of the build experience of this set.

3x3PO Parts Fest: Introducing the elements

Not long ago a Jawa Sandcrawler rolled steadily into New Elementary Farm. Myself, Caz and Ben (Davies, not the old Kenobi) needed someone who spoke Bocce, so we got three copies of LEGO® Star Wars™ 75398 C-3PO. 

In the end we lost our interest in speaking Bocce pretty soon, so we demolished the droids to make MOCs. So welcome to the 3x3PO fest, the hottest MOC-building festival in this galaxy not that far away. But before we show you what we made, I'll show you the interesting parts in the set. Be ready for many pearl gold recolours!
