LEGO Scooby Doo Haunted Mansion review
I try - I really do - to find fault with LEGO sets, but sadly I only ever get to see the brilliant ones. I think it's fair to say that Scooby Doo's LEGO incarnation is as close to perfect as you can imagine. And all in time for Halloween! You only need to look at the detail and style of sets to … [Read more...]
Minecraft LEGO: The Nether Fortress review
I'm going to stick my neck out on the line here. I'd be willing to argue that Minecraft LEGO is possibly the most perfect brand extension ever. Yes, Minecraft always was a LEGO clone from the off, but its abstract, blocky/pixellated style suits it perfectly. It's a match made in heaven, … [Read more...]
Light Stax – stack up the fun and light up the Stax
Marketed as the ‘LEGO light’, Light Stax LED Building Blocks are a stackable, expandable take on the regular table lamp. Speaking as a long-time fan of novelty lighting (more specifically, the second Tetris light and this selection of increasingly fabulous Tiffany lamps), let me first say … [Read more...]
The Mixels: Series 5 review
I love the Mixels, as I've said before, so it's brilliant to see Series 5. All these fabulous creatures keep my daughter busy for hours, and they get a big thumbs up. Again, LEGO's really tried to make the most of the existing bricks and shapes available to them, and somehow manage to … [Read more...]
We love LEGO Mixels!
I remember doing a book event once and there was an older boy sat making one of the first Mixels characters at the back of the room. I was insanely jealous, of course, as I love making LEGO sets. But it made me realise how great they were - a portable slice of LEGO that could occupy … [Read more...]
It’s International Leprechaun Day, so of course we couldn’t help ourselves…
We asked Peter Jenkinson, man-child editor of Toyology, to tell us more about mythical creature toys. He did not disappoint (we think he might have eaten too many unicorn sprinkles while writing this)... We all love telling tales of mystical, magical beings. From elves to fairies, unicorns to pot … [Read more...]
Jurassic World LEGO hits the shops
Not only are the dinosaurs back on Isla Nublar in the new Jurassic World film, but Chris Pratt is back and making his third LEGO appearance. What a lucky man! Yes, Jurassic World LEGO is released 1 May, with six new sets starting at £19.99, and a whole host of incredible yet … [Read more...]
The Simpsons LEGO Minifigures return in Series 2
The Simpsons return this May in a brand new LEGO Minifigures series. OK, so there are new versions of the family where there could have been other characters we've not seen yet, but there are some brilliant new minifigs here. Look out for Groundskeeper Willie, Patty and Selma (complete with … [Read more...]
Doctor Who LEGO on its way!
It's been an exciting day for LEGO and Doctor Who fans. One of the few Doctor Who sets that had been put forward for the Ideas site, where fans create sets and upload them for review - and potential sale as an official product - has been given the go ahead. This collection was by Andrew Clark. … [Read more...]
