Summer is upon us, and what better way to spend time cooling off than by building a LEGO set in the comfort of your home?

In LEGO’s latest wave of Disney sets, there hasn’t been a ton of wow-power, but there have been a few that struck our eye. One of those sets is LEGO Disney 43252 Moana’s Flowerpot. Our initial impression was that it was a unique marriage with the Botanical line. Join us as we take a closer look at the 619-piece set, which will be available tomorrow, June 1st, and retail for US $39.99 | CAN $49.99 | UK £39.99. The LEGO Group sent The Brothers Brick a copy of this set for review. Providing TBB with products for review guarantees neither coverage nor positive reviews. Unboxing the parts, instructions, and sticker sheet In this case, we have a pretty standard, smaller, thumb-punch box, featuring the closed flower pot on the front and opened flower pot on the back. Inside the box are polybags numbered 1-6. There is also a single instruction booklet...

Creating a screen-accurate minifig-scale LEGO X-wing isn’t as easy as bulls-eyeing womp rats in your T-16 back home. Builder Joel Short takes his best shot at getting everything right—and it looks like that particular proton torpedo hits home. The long, tapered fuselage is notoriously tricky to capture (you could argue that many of LEGO’s official models have struggled to hit the mark) but Joel nails the angles. Here’s a side view, where you can see the wealth of tiny pieces used to shape the fuselage. You can also make out a few more instances where attention to detail went above and beyond, like the intricacy of the landing gear or the shoulder armor on the laser cannons. Stepping inside for a moment, here’s the cockpit detailing, including a seat and the control knob. This rear view (AKA the view from the cockpit of the TIE coming up on your tail) reveals...

Whispers about a LEGO version of Maleficent as a dragon have been floating around for several months now. There was a lot of hype about what LEGO Disney 43240 Maleficent’s Dragon Form might look like. But despite The Sleeping Beauty being a Disney Princess film, it was still somewhat surprising to get this model in the form of a minidoll set. Is it a sleeper or is there more to it? Join us as we find out! This kit, which contains 583 pieces, will be available tomorrow, June 1st, and retail for  US $69.99 | CAN $89.99 | UK £59.99. The LEGO Group sent The Brothers Brick a copy of this set for review. Providing TBB with products for review guarantees neither coverage nor positive reviews. Unboxing the parts, instructions, and sticker sheet The thumb-punch box is on the smaller side, featuring Maleficent attacking Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip on the...

LEGO has released a Brickified version of the Wicked trailer and it does give a first official look at the minidolls of Elphaba and Glinda. The four sets that are supposed to be coming in October are still under wraps at this time so we don’t know if the items in the trailer are parts of the sets or not.
