I've lived through one movie incarnation of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT), and I didn't really think that the world needed another one. But then, along it came, and it proved just how little I know. Grossing $185,018,000 the new film made four times as much as the first movie from 1990, … [Read more...]
LEGO: Ultra Agents Toxikita’s Toxic Meltdown review!
The LEGO Agents range has had a flashy upgrade, with the launch of Ultra Agents. Incorporating an iPad app - with comics and interactive puzzles and games - the range has some great new touches and models. It's well worth downloading the app and having a go for yourself. Though I thought it felt … [Read more...]
Guardians of the Galaxy LEGO: Knowhere Escape Mission review
There's a new Marvel film franchise on the way, which happily means a whole new bunch of LEGO sets. The Guardians of the Galaxy, set out in the deepest reaches of space, is not so much about superheroes, more a sort of intergalactic Dirty Dozen out to save the galaxy. Think Battle Beyond the Stars, … [Read more...]
Ghostbusters Ecto-1 LEGO takes to the streets
I've been following the Cuusoo progress of this Ghostbusters kit for ages now, and it's phenomenal to see it realised. The characters are spot on, and the car is, well, spookily lifelike. I could run out ghostly puns and jokes by the barrel load here, but I'll try not to. … [Read more...]

Marry that with the fact that they're all about exploration and adventure on the frozen wastes, and how can you fail? Taking big and … [Read more...]
Sickly Green Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle LEGO Sets are the best we’ve seen in ages
The new range of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle LEGO kits are out, and I can't help feeling these are far cooler and far more fun than the new film will ever be. The Turtles now have the means of flight and underwater travel, and as such they get great new outfits with nice little details. I think … [Read more...]
Meccano Gears of War: Centaur Tank. It’s a children’s toy for adults
Meccano has always been Lego's big brother, utilising screws, nuts and bolts, and the ever-useful Allen Key. This kit is no different, and benefits from moulded plastic sections, which allow the model to be a lot larger than a Lego set could ever be. And there's no doubting how cool this vehicle … [Read more...]
Marvel Avengers Lego Superheroes review
Lego have come up trumps with these giant figures based on the Avengers characters (£9.86 each from Argos). Similar in style to the MegaBloks giant figures, it comes as an initial surprise to find they're not made of ordinary Lego blocks. Instead, they're constructed of a new mix of panels, … [Read more...]
