Star Wars Minifigures – The Tiny Heroes of the Galaxy
LEGO Star Wars minifigures are far more than just small plastic figures; they are the heart and soul of many collections, the tiny heroes (and villains) that populate our brick-built galaxy. For many fans, collecting minifigures is a primary focus, driven by the desire to own representations of their favorite characters, complete specific factions, or acquire rare and valuable pieces.
LEGO Set Review: Mercedes-AMG G 63 & Mercedes-AMG SL 63 (76924) Speed Champions
Some LEGO sets come to you by chance, others by deliberate hunt, and some by the luck of an auction win. LEGO Speed Champions 76924: Mercedes-AMG G 63 & Mercedes-AMG SL 63 was one of those finds for me. Picked up sealed at auction, it also came as part of a Greystones haul that already carried with it the thrill of the chase.
LEGO Set Review: Medieval Town Square (10332)
At the kitchen table in Redmond’s Forge, surrounded by half-opened polybags and teeny bricks, the Medieval Town Square springs to life. I carefully arranged pieces beside Luke, whose eyes widen at the sight of a mini-diorama tapestry, while Rose happily follows the instructions with her own pile of cheese stalls and goats. Together, we’re building not just a set, it’s a slice of medieval life.
LEGO Set Review: Jabba’s Sail Barge (6210)
Set 6210 is one of the most beloved original trilogy Star Wars playsets, bringing the action of Return of the Jedi’s Tatooine rescue scene to life. With a large, detailed Sail Barge, side skiffs, and a Sarlacc pit, this was a dream set for collectors and kids alike in 2006, and remains a top-tier vintage display piece in 2025.
Beyond the Blocks: A Comprehensive Guide to the Enduring Appeal of LEGO BrickHeadz
The official launch of the LEGO BrickHeadz theme was strategically executed at San Diego Comic-Con in 2017. This high-profile event served as an ideal platform to generate immediate buzz and cultivate a sense of exclusivity. Convention-exclusive two-packs, featuring characters from popular DC and Marvel properties such as Captain America, Wonder Woman, and The Joker, were made available only at the LEGO booth.
LEGO Set Review: Jango Fett’s Slave I (7153)
At the time of its release, 7153 was one of the most iconic LEGO Star Wars sets due to one major factor: the first ever Jango Fett minifigure. The ship itself, Jango’s blue-and-gray version of the Slave I, is based on his appearance in Attack of the Clones, and includes several play features.
LEGO Set Review: Hogwarts Express – Collector’s Edition (76405) – A Magical Journey at Redmond’s Forge
As the golden morning light poured into the kitchen at Redmond’s Forge, Sunday began with the hum of excitement and the clink of bricks. After Saturday’s thrilling build of The Attack on the Burrow, barbeque, trampolining, Quidditch, and movie marathon, we knew we needed something legendary to close out Harry Potter Weekend, and the LEGO 76405 Hogwarts Express – Collector’s Edition was the obvious choice.
LEGO Set Review: Attack on the Burrow (75980) – Chaos, Fire, and Pure Magic
There are some builds that bring out the inner child in every AFOL and inspire wonder in younger builders at the same time. For us, LEGO Harry Potter 75980: Attack on the Burrow was one such set, a magical centrepiece for our Harry Potter Weekend at Redmond’s Forge.
LEGO Set Review: Hogwarts Express (75955) – All Aboard the Magic Train
Some LEGO builds cast a long shadow, not just in bricks, but in nostalgia. LEGO 75955: Hogwarts Express is one such set. Although it’s been retired from shelves for a few years now, it still arrives with all the excitement of the magical train pulling into Platform 9¾. In June 2025, we were lucky enough to pick up a second-hand version in great condition, just as we began constructing the Harry Potter quarter of Redmond’s Forge LEGO City.
