One thing I really appreciate from the Sky Pirates sub-theme is its wild blend of steampunk/dieselpunk elements with the classical pirates-look. The Lego designers did a great job with the Raid Zeppelin and the Misfortune’s Keep (mostly), so lets have a closer look at the Sky Shark. With the Ninjago Movie just around the corner… Read More Review: Ninjago Sky Shark (70601)
The Money Transporter was one of the new City sets released this year that got my immediate attention, only second to the Pizza Van (which I reviewed back in late February, gosh – time flies!). A couple of weeks ago I finally got it. Lets find out if it can hold up to my expectations.… Read More Review: Lego City Money Transporter (60142)

They were just super-cool and super-menacing, even if I… Read More The Return of Blacktron! (Part 1)
I had my eyes on this set for quite a while. I really like TIE Fighters and Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced is probably, my favourite one. The price for this set however… was just ridiculous until now. Anyway. Lets have a closer look at it! The set is based on the Rebels TV series, featuring an A-Wing… Read More Review: Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced and A-wing Fighter (75150)
When the first pictures of the sets for the Lego Batman Movie came out towards the end of last year, I wasn’t terribly impressed: The Batmobile looks like an RC racer from the 80s, the Batwing is airliner-sized and the Joker’s car is a mediocre take on the lowrider-look with ridiculously undersized wheels. But one… Read More Review: The Penguin’s Arctic Roller (70911)
