A Minecraft Movie is now out in theaters and surprisingly, it’s been a hit with it being on track to earn $150 million during the opening weekend. LEGO has released a few new sets for the movie and the first one we’ll be checking out is the Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring (21272). The set has 491 pieces and retails for $49.99. Note that I have not seen the movie so I don’t have any context of what’s going on in the set. Minifigures There are three minifigures in the set, Seve, Garrett, and Henry. Steve is wearing a light blue sweater and since it’s Jack Black, there is some printing of his belly. His double-sided head does have his two colored beard with a smile on one side and an angry expression on the other. Garrett is played by Jason Momoa and he’s wearing a bright pink leather jacket with some...

The LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings The Shire (10354) is now available to the general public so that means everybody now has access to the Smeagol & Deagol (40761) gift with purchase set. For a set this popular, I’m surprised that the GWP lasted through the the LEGO Insiders timed event and will most likely sell out before April 8 now that everyone can get it. LEGO Insiders still also have double points on Rivendell (10316) and Barad-Dur (10333). As a Rakuten/Linkshare Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Lately, every social feed has been clogged with AI slop pillaging the surface-level aesthetics of Studio Ghibli films. Here’s a palate cleanser from Joe Lam – a microscale LEGO Catbus and Totoro. Celebrating Totoro, it’s instantly recognizable from just 9 or 10 elements, and the Catbus is packed with personality. The eyes are especially inspired, using Batman logos for the wild pupils. Joe designed the Catbus back in 2023, but what better time to celebrate the joy that comes from human creativity? And maybe have a look at other Totoro builds that have inspired us over the years.

Disney’s cinematic renaissance might have kicked off in 1989 with The Little Mermaid, but the Disney parks were entering a new era two years earlier with the debut of Star Tours. The immersive ride combined motion simulation with state-of-the-art special effect filmmaking to transport riders into the Star Wars universe, joining a trench run to take out the Death Star. Okay Yaramanoglu recreates the StarSpeeder 3000 in LEGO with a model with the greebles and pinstripes that will take you right back to 1987. What made the ride so convincing was the commitment to the bit of the StarSpeeder 3000 starship. Visitors could watch C3PO and R2D2 bicker about your upcoming journey as they stood next to one of the impressive transport vessels. By the time you reached the doors of the ride version, you were ready to believe that it was a lightspeed-ready craft that really could take you to Endor....
