The dominance of Ayrton Senna and his McLaren MP4/4 is celebrated with this excellent LEGO Icons model that won't break the bank!

With the Williams coming next year, we can also finally fix the issue with the rear tyres being too small!

Check out Vaderfan's review of 10330 McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna!

The McLaren MP4/4 is one of the most dominant F1 cars in history, winning 15 out of 16 races in the 1988 Formula One season and holding the record for the highest win percentage in a season until 2023. Thanks Max. It’s also effortlessly iconic, with the striking white and red livery being one of [...

Here's every Wicked set! What do you think of them?

I have to say that LEGO's Wicked theme has been one of the biggest surprises of the year, and the popularity of these sets have been incredibly well deserved.

It's one of the most complete launches, with something for everyone. From the smallest 75681 Glinda Elphaba & Nessarose at S**z University set, which is a great entry level set that comes with Glinda, Elphaba and Nessarose minidolls, ensuring that younger fans get the main characters to play with at an accessible price point.

The new Elphaba and Glinda dolls are also exciting new innovations from LEGO, with really clever designs in a whole new buildable doll form factor that I think has a lot of promise. The set is just stunning as a display model thanks to its gorgeous composition, colours and is a fantastic juxtaposition of Wicked's Green meets Pink theme.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the Dormitory set, although I think it's very nicely designed with the interiors and locking mechanism built into it. It's a little too pricey for me, but if you can get it on sale, it's a great build especially if you want to reenact Popular!

And last but certainly not least is Welcome to Emerald City, an awesome playset that brings the fantastical Emerald City to life. It's THE set to get as a Wicked fan thanks to the minidoll line-up, and the design makes great use of height and a wonderful blend of green hues to give it a truly flagship experience.

With Wicked tearing up the box office and hearing news that these sets have been selling briskly, I'm looking forward to seeing what Act 2 of the theme will look like!
