Leap of the White Stag — Graceful, Elegant, and Beautifully Executed I genuinely enjoy exploring new builder kits, and from the moment I saw Leap of the White Stag from IamBrick, I knew this one would be special. On paper, it offers a combination of aesthetic elegance and a satisfying build experience that promised both display appeal and thoughtful assembly. I’m happy to say the design delivers — this is one of the more beautiful builds I’ve worked on recently. The way it looks once complete is genuinely striking. It’s calm, confident, and very sure of what it wants to be. First Impressions — A Beautiful Build Visually, this model is just beautiful. The stag’s pose captures a real sense of motion and grace. It feels more like a sculpture than a traditional brick build — something you’d intentionally display rather than simply place on a shelf because it’s finished. The silhouette works from every angle, and the overall design feels balanced and considered. The packaging re...

MOC-171966 Medieval Wolfpack Wraith Watchtower — A Beautiful Idea That Needs a Few Tweaks to pull it together I really enjoy LesDiy as a company and partner, and I was genuinely looking forward to this one. On paper, the Medieval Wolfpack Wraith Watchtower hits all the right notes: a compact vertical build, a moody medieval aesthetic, and the promise of a small structure with atmosphere and story rather than sheer size. There’s a certain charm to MOCs that don’t try to be everything at once, and this one knows exactly what it wants to be. Unfortunately, while the idea and design are genuinely strong, the execution never quite lives up to that promise. First Impressions — Mood, Character, and Intent Visually, this is a beautiful MOC. The watchtower isn’t the largest medieval build you’ll find, but it commits fully to mood, verticality, and storytelling. The design leans into classic medieval fantasy: worn stone textures, jutting rooflines, narrow interior spaces, and a silho...

Review: Pantasy x iGame Desktop Case — When Play Meets Play When Pantasy first got in touch about reviewing this set, my mind immediately went into game mode. I was convinced I was about to build the Pantasy Retro 90s PC (85005) — a set I’d been genuinely looking forward to — so when this arrived instead, I’ll admit there was a brief moment of disappointment. That feeling didn’t last. Because what followed was a genuinely enjoyable surprise. Chill Build That Knows Exactly What It Is This is an easy-going, relaxed build from start to finish. Nothing complicated, nothing overworked — just a straightforward couple of hours at the table that never feels demanding. It comes together cleanly and logically, with no unnecessary steps or forced complexity. The build has a nice rhythm to it, and before you know it, you’re holding a compact, solid little model that feels well thought out and properly finished. It’s very much a chill build, and that suits this set perfectly. Design — S...

The best modular set and design experience I’ve had since building a LEGO Police Station . From the moment you open the box to the final placement on the shelf, the Pantasy Architecture Firm (85041) feels special. This isn’t just another modular building — it’s a statement piece, and one that firmly places Pantasy at the front of the modular conversation. I was so impressed with this build that I reached out to the designer directly with a few questions. What came back only reinforced what I already felt during the build — this set exists because of vision, restraint, and an almost stubborn commitment to doing things properly. Box & Presentation — Premium, and Only the Beginning The box quality immediately gives that premium feel — but it quickly becomes clear that this is only the start. Not only have Pantasy introduced their first official lighting kit, they’ve done it in a way that absolutely shouts: we always could do this, we can do it better, and we’re here to sta...

Airwolf Takes Flight: A Review of the MOC-149250 Helicopter (1039pcs) “When you need the impossible… call Airwolf.” The Box & First Impressions This one means business. From the first handful of parts you can tell the designer wasn’t thinking “ family Saturday afternoon build .” Nope — this is straight up 18+ territory, and it knows it. And honestly, as someone who loved the Airwolf TV series (and yes, that soundtrack is still absolute perfection), opening this felt like stepping back into that cockpit. The Build Experience This is where the set shows its teeth. You’re not just clicking bricks — you’re navigating tight little assembly pockets, holding three sections steady while you line up a fourth, and sometimes applying carefully measured pressure to snap stubborn elements into place. There are moments where you genuinely think:  “Yep, LEGO would’ve never let this through.”  And that’s half the fun. The compact interior structure doesn’t give you...

A thoughtful, modern modular that focuses on everyday spaces and how they actually work. Not every modular needs to rely on density or visual noise to be interesting. Some sets work best when they pay attention to layout, proportion, and realism. That’s the approach taken here — and while it isn’t flawless, it’s largely successful. The Youmko YM003 Modern Japanese Apartment is a calm, residential build that feels deliberately designed. It doesn’t overreach, and it doesn’t try to be something it isn’t. First Impressions From the start, the theme is very clear. This looks and feels like a modern Japanese apartment building. The structure is sensible, the proportions feel right, and the colour palette is mostly restrained. It immediately reads as residential rather than commercial, which already sets it apart from more common modular styles. It’s understated, but not bare. The Build Experience The build itself is straightforward and enjoyable. One of the strongest points here ...
