It's the official release day of the LEGO Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 set. Before you read on I just need to get this out there. I am a huge Legend of Zelda fan. I am also a big fan of puns. So, yes there will be as many Zelda puns as I can fit into this article. But don't worry, if it doesn't feel right I won't tri and force it. Hey! Listen! Fans of LEGO and the Legend of Zelda games have long coveted a collaboration of these IP giants. Over the years there have been some fantastic fan made builds. Whilst these LEGO MOCs could be marvelled (should that be Nintendo'd) at, they were not for the ave...

Yes, yes: More LEGO Animal Crossing sets

Earlier this year LEGO released five Animal Crossing themed sets. I was severely underwhelmed when these were first revealed in a Press Release in October 2023. They didn't capture everything I loved about Animal Crossing and LEGO. Or so I thought. Then these sets hit the shelves. I saw pictures from friends. I watched TikToks showing off people's builds. Pretty quickly I realised I was wrong. These sets may have been sold separately but they were meant to be pieced together. To be customised. To be built and shaped into your very own island. Just like Tom Nook intended. I bought every single set. I carved out space amongst the LEGO collection and dedicated a whole shelf to my real life island. Fast forward to present day and LEGO have released two more Animal Crossing sets. And this ti...

This set is the fifth addition to the 18+ LEGO Super Mario range, and we couldn't think of anything more perfect than Mario and Yoshi being reunited in 16bit style. WAHOOO! As this is a set aimed at us adults LEGO have really leant into the side-scrolling Nintendo nostalgia and I love it. The LEGO Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi set uses a 2D build to bring the pixelated joy of our 16bit childhood to life.
