Was it worth waiting for this set?

At £24.99, this set seems an absolute bargain with what you get however, I waited it out and finally pulled the trigger when it went a bit cheaper. In this set you get 4 builds from the tri-droid to the clone's speeder bike and a massive 9 minifigures including, 4 clone troopers, 3 super battle droids and 2 regular battle droids.

What do you think of this set? Video review is out on YouTube now!

NEW Lego Star Wars magazine is out!

Bit late but this month's issue comes with a mini-build in the form of the Imperial's Lambda-class T-4a shuttle ship ship which was seen in the original trilogy and was used to transport high-ranking imperial officers. I do like this version of the ship, the profile of the ship looks really good and the build was quite easy!

The next issue will feature a minifigure in the form of the 501st Specialist Clone Trooper and is expected to come out around the 16th of June in the UK!

Who isn't happier after buying LEGO?

One minor inconvenience is all it takes sometimes, although now I've got to wait for the sets to arrive. Damn it. *buys more LEGO*

Did LEGO do this on purpose? New video now live!

The Rex Y-Wing Microfighter set is another great addition to the Sar Wars microfighter series, and includes a 99-piece build of the awesome-looking Y-Wing and the infamous Rex minifigure that was first seen in the Venator set for a nice and low £11.99.

Did LEGO plan to make this minifigure available in a more expensive set first, then release it in a budget set to distort the value rating of the product? Video review is now live on my channel!

We have made it to 400 subscribers on YouTube!

It's crazy to think I only started last year and we've already reached 400 subscribers, even including a 6-month hiatus whilst I was waiting to move house, the growth has been incredible and it's all thanks to you guys, so thank you so much.

Here's to more LEGO builds, reviews and shenanigans!

New Star Wars mini-build video OUT NOW!

We have arrived at our last Star Wars-themed mini-builds, but don't worry, there'll be more mini-builds in the future! This week we are building Rey's speeder. Rey built this speeder from scrap that was on her home planet of Jakku, very resourceful I say!

Which Star Wars minifigure is YOUR favourite?

Over the 25 years that LEGO and Star Wars have made sets together, it's fair to say they've produced a LOT of minifigures! But which one is your favourite? I have to say the ARC Trooper Fives minifigure from my latest review looks incredible!

New Star Wars mini-build video OUT NOW!

We're more than halfway through May and nearing the end of the Star Wars builds! This week, we are building the Jawa's sandcrawler. This fortress on wheels allowed the Jawa clan to store droids, scrap and can even house an entire Jawa clan.

Continuing with the Star Wars-themed mini-builds, we are building a droid gunship this week. This gunship was used by the separatist armies during the clone wars.

NEW Lego Star Wars magazine is out!

This month's issue comes with a mini-build in the form of Mando's N1 Starfighter which made its on-screen debut in Star Wars during the 5th episode of The Book of Boba Fett. I have to say I think this is probably the worst version of this ship, even in paper bag form. It lacks shape in key areas but it was a nice and simple build, so it's all good in that area.

The next issue will feature another mini-build, this time we'll be getting the Imperial Shuttle and this is expected to come out around the 22nd of May in the UK!

Do you think this set should've been a diorama instead?

The Boarding the Tantive set brought out by LEGO was one of the sets I was most looking forward to, especially since I reviewed the Dark Trooper Attack set which is very similar to this set. When rumours stirred up about this set, I think most of us thought it would be a diorama, but that wasn't to be.

Would it be Star Wars month without LEGO Star Wars leaks?

We have images of four upcoming Star Wars sets that are expected to be released in June of this year. Starting with Rex's Y-Wing which a lot of people are after, then we have the sets from the Mandalorian series which look a little underwhelming but we'll definitely be having a look at them and finally, we have a Luke Skywalker mech which is interesting to say the least.

The first Star Wars mini-build is now LIVE!

For this week's first themed mini-build, we'll be building Plo Koon's starfighter. Known for his level-headed attitude, Plo Koon was a Jedi Master who cared about his clones but unfortunately, clones would be responsible for his death in the end. What do you think of this build?

I found a couple of the new Star Wars sets sitting on a shelf in a toy store local to me! Unfortunately I didn’t have the money to grab one but it’s nice to see them in the flesh!

Are you ready for Star Wars month?

To celebrate Star Wars month, I will be releasing a Star Wars themed mini build EVERY week during May, what will these builds be? We'll be starting with Plo Koon's jedi starfighter, then recreating a droid gunship, followed by the famous sandcrawler used by the Jawa's and finishing with Rey's speeder.

LEGO has been on a roll with the food trucks they've been bringing out lately, and this one is definitely up there with the best. A burger van in the shape of a burger, you'll definitely want a burger after this video.

Which Ironman suit is your favourite?

Ironman has always been my favourite Marvel superhero ever since the first movie came out in 2008. My favourite suit has to be the Mk2 with its exposed rivets and lack of paint, such a good looking suit! …though war machine isn’t far behind that.

You’re a wizard Harry!

After building the Ford Anglia in the 4 Privet Drive set, I had to see whether this new version was better than the previous one LEGO made. There has been a few changes to the car and new minifigures just for this set, but is it worth the £12.99 price tag? Check out my review through the link in my profile!

Which Star Wars ship are you taking?

Of all the ships in Star Wars, from the original movies I’ve always liked the Y-Wing but with the new movies plus TV series’ we have, the Razor Crest is probably my favourite, followed closely by the Y-Wing and A-Wing

Can YOU guess what I’m building?

Little behind the scenes post, these are the parts I’ll be using to make something in the next mini builds video! I like to group them into steps to make the video recording process faster.
