SupreOwls Gothic Skull Succulent Bouquet Review (10% Discount ) I always enjoy building something a little different, and the SupreOwls Gothic Skull Succulent Bouquet certainly falls into that category. Rather than another traditional bouquet or botanical display, this combines a detailed skull with an arrangement of colourful succulents to create something that's both gothic and surprisingly elegant. Containing 1,079 pieces, it isn't an especially long build, but it packs in plenty of variety and quickly became one of those sets I found difficult to put down. The Build Experience From the very beginning, the build follows a satisfying pattern. The skull gradually takes shape before the individual succulents are added one by one, giving a real sense of progression as the model comes together. This is one of those builds that's simply enjoyable from start to finish. The little "delight moments" come in the form of new colours, techniques and pla...

Pantasy Owl Clock (85051) Review – A Pleasant Build That Never Quite Finds Its Place  (Get yours here ) Pantasy's Retro Collection has been one of the biggest surprises in the building block world for me. Over the past year I've built several of the range, and more often than not they've exceeded my expectations. Whether it's the nostalgia, the clever design work or the beautiful display pieces they produce, they've consistently been some of my favourite non-LEGO sets. That naturally meant I was looking forward to the Owl Clock. With its vintage styling, mechanical movement and woodland-inspired design, it certainly looks the part. Containing 897 pieces and estimated to take around 4–6 hours to build, it promises a decorative display with a simple mechanical function. Unfortunately, while I liked the finished model, this is probably the first Retro Collection set that didn't really grab me. Specifications - Set: Pantasy Owl Clock - Set Nu...

Lumibricks K's Spinner (23001) Review – A Perfect Tribute to Blade Runner (Discount link ) Introduction Some film vehicles become icons the moment they appear on screen. The DeLorean. The Batmobile. Ecto-1. K's Spinner from Blade Runner 2049 comfortably sits amongst them. It isn't simply a futuristic flying car—it's part of what gives the film its unmistakable identity. Intellectual properties aren't cheap, and I can only imagine what it cost Lumibricks to secure this licence. But what a wonderful IP for them to pick up. If there was ever a company suited to bringing Blade Runner into brick form, it's Lumibricks. The atmosphere of both the original Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 relies heavily on architecture, lighting, colour and mood—areas where Lumibricks consistently stand out. Their integrated lighting systems have become one of the defining features of their range, so bringing that expertise to one of cinema's most visually striking fra...

Pantasy Kerosene Lamp (85056) Review – Simplicity Done Exceptionally Well Pantasy's Retro Collection has quietly become one of my favourite product lines. Over the past year I've reviewed several of the range, including the outstanding Twin Lens Reflex Camera and the exceptional Retro Radio. Both sets completely exceeded my expectations, not because they were technically complex, but because they perfectly captured everyday objects in brick form. That naturally made me excited to see the latest additions to the collection, starting with the Kerosene Lamp (85056). At first glance this is a deceptively simple model. A lamp doesn't have moving mechanisms, complex engineering or a huge piece count to hide behind. It relies entirely on getting the proportions, colours and shaping absolutely right. There were countless opportunities for Pantasy to get this wrong. The metallic finish could have looked cheap, the shaping could have felt awkward, the lighting could have ...

(Edit 18/07: I wrote this review a month ago. The model still sits on my counter and I appreciate it more). Lumibricks Film Studio Tower (19015) Review – Lights, Camera, Bricks! Grabs yours here , superb price! Introduction Some sets immediately catch your eye because of their architecture. Others stand out because of their size, their colour palette or an interesting building technique. The Film Studio Tower caught my attention for a much simpler reason—it celebrates something I've loved for as long as I can remember: film. As many of you know, almost my entire LEGO display is built around movies. I spend countless hours recreating iconic scenes, designing film-inspired MOCs and sharing that passion through my builds and reviews. So, when Lumibricks announced a modular building centred around the world of filmmaking rather than a specific licence, it immediately appealed to me. What makes this set particularly interesting is that it doesn't focus on the finished pr...
