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.

Silksong Will Release This Summer?

It's been 84 over 6 years since Hollow Knight: Silksong was first revealed by Team Cherry, way back in February 2019. Since then, the journey to release has been a tumultuous journey for fans.
