I honestly can’t believe I missed this Bluey LEGO Ideas submission during the voting stage! One of my favourite cartoons realised in LEGO! Bluey! Ok, there are several Bluey submissions on LEGO Ideas, and this is not the first to hit 10k. But damn is it good! This is my favourite and here’s why! My question is, how do we influence @LEGO to make this a reality like the Simpsons – assuming they aren’t already planning it?

This is my review of the LEGO James Bond 007 Aston Martin DB5 76911. It’s part of the 2022 LEGO Speed Champions line-up and is immediately one of my favorites – and not just because I’m a James Bond fan but because these LEGO sets have come so far since I first reviewed them 4 years ago!

The techniques are just superb and you get a couple of special pieces in this one. Watch for my thoughts in this LEGO Toy Review and let me know yours in the comments!

I’ve been thinking a lot about the new LEGO Hogwarts Express Collectors’ Edition 76405 and why it doesn’t feel right. And I finally decided it’s time to share my thoughts on why I love and hate this set (what went wrong with LEGO’s design?). It really is so polarising for everyone. I’m worried that LEGO has managed to create a LEGO Train set that doesn’t make anyone happy. And here’s why. P.S. LEGO, what we really wanted was an Emerald Night quality LEGO Train!

About the LEGO Hogwarts Express Collectors’ Edition (76405):
The magic of the Harry Potter stories with a buildable, 1:32 scale replica of the most iconic vehicle in the Wizarding World. LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express – Collectors’ Edition (76405) is a spectacular build-and-display project for adult Harry Potter enthusiasts, which will enchant all who see it.

The engine features a detailed underside and a lever on the top that causes the train to rock with the motion of a steam train. A tender carries the engine’s supply of coal. The passenger carriage comprises 3 compartments, each depicting a classic scene: when Harry, Ron, and Hermione meet in the series’ first film; when Professor Lupin saves Harry from the Dementor™ in the third film; and when Luna saves Harry from Draco’s spell in the sixth film. The model also depicts Platform 9¾ at King’s Cross Station, where the adult Harry and Ginny wait with their children, Lily, James, and Albus, ready for Albus’s first trip aboard the amazing Hogwarts Express.
