It was not so long ago we were sharing the news of the EXG Pro officially licensed Minecraft Cable Guys and Cable Guys Holdems! Now I'm back, as promised, with a little review of two of the available products! And what an iconic duo I got sent too. Does it get anymore Minecraft then Creepers and Piglins?

Designed to securely cradle controllers, smartphones, earbuds etc. they’re ideal for keeping your tech organised. Let's take a closer look at the two we were sent. Minecraft Creeper REST I've had my fair share of Cable Guy REST stands. From Pac-Man to Jack Skellington there's a Cable Guy for every fandom! This Creeper is the perfect addition to ...

LEGO Marvel Gains New Mini Bust Sets

Ok who had LEGO Mini Bust on your LEGO Marvel bingo card? Yep that's right, LEGO have shared details of new Marvel character mini bust builds. And not just any Marvel characters, but Iron Man and Iron Spider-Man. In the flesh, er, in the LEGO brick! These are marketed as 18+ but from what I've seen this is because they are designed to be display builds, rather then play sets. Let's take a closer look at them. LEGO Marvel Iron Man bust This LEGO Marvel Iron Man bust set replicates the Iron Man MK4 armour. Which if you didn't know is the armour seen in the Iron Man 2 movie. The set maybe a mere 434 pieces but it packs a lot into that. With 2 posable airbrake flaps, micro missile launchers amongst other features I don't want to spoil, this is a set for any Marvel fan.

Sean Astin Launches New LEGO Lord Of The Rings The Shire Set

The LEGO Icons line just keeps on being, well, iconic. Take the new LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: The Shire set for example. The set in itself is incredible and any self respecting LOTR fan will be besides themselves at the sight of it. But LEGO knew this wasn't enough. Which is where Sean Astin aka Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, comes in. To celebrate the launch of the set Astin stars in an exclusive mini-film. If I take one more step, it'll be the farthest away from home I've ever been. The minifilm may only be 1 minute and 28 seconds long, but it's well worth a watch. Why wouldn't you want even a brief glimpse of The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy recreated with love in LEGO bricks? Echoing the iconic Osgiliath monologue and cross-cutting sequences that...

LEGO Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi Review

We first shared the news of the LEGO Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi (set number 71438) back in July last year however it only released last October. And yes, it has taken me a while to get through my backlog to be able to bring you this review. That's not even due to the fact that the LEGO Art LOVE (set number 31214) skipped right to the front. Mario time! Before I get into the nitty gritty of this build, let's quickly go over the product specs/details. The LEGO Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi is an 18+ set, not necessarily because of the build techniques but due io it not being a playset. This is definitely a collection piece. Although the £115 price tag may also be giveaway for this! Released in October the set is available on the LEGO website now and is even eligible for a ...
