As we’re gearing up to all kinds of 2024 sets being seen online, we got our first glimpse of a small one. Thanks to German retailer JB Spielwaren a polybag for the Dishney Wish range has been revealed. The set in question is Asha’s Welcome (30661) containing 46 pieces. The set will retail for €3.99 (RRP) and is scheduled to release January 1st. So what do you think of this polybag? Is it a must buy? Share your thoughts in the comments!

With the LEGO Ideas ‘The Orient Express Train‘ (21344) releasing in a few days, a rather painful production error was discovered by LEGO. Stickers in the initial production run will lack the desired metallic golden finish, instead it is a plain yellow finish. The official statement from LEGO reads: We identified a color error in the sticker sheet for LEGO set 21344 and we have already implemented the change for future production runs. In the meantime, the parts warehouse has stock of the correct sticker sheets and we will provide replacement stickers upon request. Below you’ll see the differences between […]

Antarctica has always been a fascinating continent to me. It’s remoteness, it’s wild nature, it’s unique animal population and so much more. It’s very unlikely I’ll ever set foot there, not many people do. Among a few things you might see in Antarctica are impressive ice sculptures carved out by the wind, penguins (my favourite animal), or if you are lucky you might even witness the southern lights! I wanted to combine my passion for design with my fascination with Antarctica to create a model which appeals to Lego fans and explorers alike! – Josh Tarling (Tarlinator) So it’s a […]

Let’s be clear, this is based on speculative reports and should be treated as such. However, since the source is often right there might be truth to this. So thanks to brick_clicker for reporting, now let’s get into it… So the rumour is we’re getting 1993’s McLaren MP4/8 in LEGO Icons next year. The set should release in March 2024, consist of 693 pieces, retail at $79.99 and include an Ayrton Senna minifigure. LEGO already has a licensing partnership with McLaren so that would make this not unlikely. F1 is ever more popular after the Netflix series ‘Drive To Survive’ […]

When LEGO ‘leaked’ The Orient Express Train a few weeks ago in a catalogue we got our first look at this LEGO Ideas set. Today the full set was finally announced officially. And it’s reaching it’s destination soon as well, with the set releasing December 1st. It will cost $299.99 / €299.99 / £259.99 with the set containing 2,540 pieces.   It looks to be one of the most detailed LEGO train sets I’ve seen so far, featuring a detailed exterior and a lush interior as well. It is however quite different from the original Ideas entry that was approved. […]

Great news for all the builders and LEGO PAB addicts: Over 470 new parts were added to the service today! The parts added today all appear to be from sets released in August 2023. This means you can now pick up Susan. She isn’t cheap however. And of course all the other awesome Dreamzzz characters are also added with all their amazing prints and new parts. Other than Dreamzzz, a few parts from Super Mario Donkey Kong,  the Tranquil Garden and the Corvette Camaro were also added. Like the new banana bunch or Dark Green and Dark Bluish Grey Fern […]

The LEGO DreamZzz theme has provided quite a few interesting sets. We had a look at the Mateo & Z-Blob The Robot and Mrs Castillo’s Turtle Van before. Today we have a look at the Dream Village (40567). So how do we rate this set, is it a dream or a nightmare? Part selection The set consists of 419 parts. The part selection is not bad at all. Nothing extremely exciting, but a lot of standard plates and bricks. This makes it a rather versatile set for rebuilding and just getting creative with your LEGO. However, there are quite a few […]

So, how often do you think about the Romans? If the awnser is often, this might just be the perfect LEGO Ideas entry for you. I’m not sure if the recent social media trend has inspired this entry but it’s already quite popular. And with good reason. Roman architecture remains iconic and easy to recognize. It’s almost surprising LEGO has produced so few sets with a Roman theme. Luckily there are great MOC builders and LEGO Ideas entries to make up for this. This entry shows a temple on the Forum, a triumphal arch next to it and an aqueduct […]

Co-hosted by @teflontodd it’s the return of Heroes and Villains Habitats. Build a fun habitat with a superhero (or supervillain) and post with the hashtag […]

Thanks to the Chinese International Import Expo (CIIE), that is happening right now, we have our first look at a handful of LEGO sets coming in 2024! Be sure to check our other posts for the Chinese Traditional Festival and Friends set(s) also revealed there today. Megapolis City seems to be a rather interesting Monkie Kid set. A city comparable with the previous Lantern City set consisting of small modules, giving plenty of opportunities for customization. There are no details known regarding piece count, price and release dates yet. Being Monkie Kid it’s likely these sets will only be available from big flagship LEGO stores […]
