LEGO Best and Worst Sets of 2023

December 31, 2023 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The end of 2023 is now here and according to Brickset, there have been about 921 LEGO products that have been released this year. Here’s the shortlist of my top five sets as well as top five flops of the year. Of course, this is my opinion and your list may differ widely.

TOP SETS OF 2023

LEGO The Lord of the Rings Rivendell (10316)

The Lord of the Rings theme came back in a very unexpected way. Instead of releasing a small wave of sets, we get one of the biggest sets that LEGO has produced in a while. The 6,167 piece set featured a very nice representation of Rivendell that was highly detailed with scenes from the movies.

LEGO Icons Eldorado Fortress (10320)

I’m a big fan of nostalgia and LEGO has been hitting the mark with these classic-style inspired sets the past few years. Eldorado Fortress gives the old-school feel of the 1989 set but with a modernized finish. The addition of the pirate galleon is also appreciated because it basically gives you another set as it was based one from the Imperial Trading Post (6277).

LEGO Indiana Jones Temple of the Golden Idol (77015)

Indiana Jones is one of my favorite movie series and I wasn’t back into the hobby when the first sets were released but back in April, LEGO came back with three more Indiana Jones sets. My favorite of the three was the Temple of the Golden Idol simply because it features some of the main opening scenes … Continue

December 20, 2023 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Series 25 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71045) releases in a few days and we’ve gotten a box of them to check out.

The front shows all the characters that you’re able to get while the sides have the Vampire Knight and the E-Sports Gamer and each hanger box contains 12 mystery boxes.

LEGO Masters Season 4 Winners Announced

December 15, 2023 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Last night was the finale of LEGO Masters Season 4 and we now have two new LEGO Masters as well as the set that will be made into an official LEGO set in the future. If you didn’t know, the winners will be flown to Billund to meet with LEGO designers with the winning build be turned into a new set. Before you read on, there are spoilers if you didn’t watch the show.

The team of Christopher (DuckBbricks) and Robert are your newest LEGO Masters and their 8ft by 8ft build of the World Wonderliner will be displayed at the flagship LEGO Store in New York. Their build features a plane with three core icons of their most memorable travel experiences which include the Kenyan baobab tree, the Forbidden City, and the Colosseum.

The release of the set won’t be out for at least another year or two but expect it to be scaled down to a more reasonable price. Since there’s a lot of details in the final build, it’ll probably come in at a few thousand pieces.
