Decorating your LEGO space
There is no one right way to enjoy LEGO. I suspect this is why our beloved hobby has found such widespread popularity these days. We buy and build, and play and display. We collect and store, and part and sort. We MOC and show, and invest and sell. We go to Brickset and read and write, and laud and gripe. For many, our relationship with LEGO evolves over time and is often dictated by the constraints of our everyday lives. Many of us start out building, playing, tearing down, reimagining, and then building again. As we get older, we have less and less time to build, let alone design or play. As Father Time ticks, ticks away, I find it more and more difficult to keep LEGO a part of my daily life... that is, until I found my newest passion: decorating my LEGO space.

Review: 72164 Training House with Pikachu

Review: 75455 Boba Fett
There have been a substantial number of large-scale characters produced this year, sometimes to the point of them becoming rather repetitive. 75455 Boba Fett definitely stands out from this crowded field though, potentially looking more authentic than any other LEGO statue! The vibrant colours of Boba Fett's armour work brilliantly for a model of this scale and I like the pose too, which looks fairly realistic. We have seen droids represented accurately by this kind of statue, although I doubted whether a human character, even an armoured one, could ever look as impressive as Boba Fett does.

Review: 40919 Gremlins: Gizmo & Stripe
The Gremlins franchise returned to LEGO last year, when the highly praised 21361 Gremlins: Gizmo launched. With that and the minifigures from Dimensions, the films have now been represented in a couple of different forms. One form that hadn't been explored, though, is BrickHeadz, and that's what 40919 Gremlins: Gizmo and Stripe aims to fix. The set looks brilliant in official images, capturing the looks of the lovable Mogwai and his arch-enemy quite well. But how well? Let's find out... Continue reading » © 2026 Brickset.com .
