Our review panel consisting of Greg, BanthaToys, Boom Brickz, Brick McBricksworth, Brick Shed, Lets_Brick_It and myself had a thorough look and these were our verdicts!

Only 2 sets managed to get a perfect 10/10 score. The batman 1992 polybag and the Friends Botanical Garden set. And not without reason of course. Based on reactions online the Botanical Garden appealed to a lot of people that usually don’t pay attention to Friends. A few sets like the Mighty Bowser came close however.

Two LEGO Ideas challenges entered the fan vote stage with some great looking builds to choose from. Have you cast your votes yet?

On the 1st July Mrs Brick Post managed to grab me the LEGO Disney 100 Mini Castle from the extremely busy Make & Take event. I then went ahead and reviewed it at the start of the week. It’s a great little build but the printed circular tile/plate was the real pull of this event, did you manage to get one?

Bricklink announced a a brand new scheme that allows MOC designers to have their work recognised and made available via the website.

Last but not least LEGO advertised a new freelance position for Creators who are into making brick films. Is this you? Have you applied?

LEGO Disney 100 Celebration (40600) GWP Review

This time it’s the Year of the Rabbit and LEGO haven’t disappointed, with a set that not only looks great but sits perfectly alongside the others.

I managed to bag this GWP set in-store recently whilst grabbing a few more of my January wishlist. The promotion ends 25th January, so if you haven’t got one yet and would like one you know what to do.

Here is my short but sweet review of this years Chinese New Year outing.

The Box & Contents:

Not ever having the pleasure of opening one of these GWP sets I was pleasantly surprised to find an Angpao pouch inside, usually a red paper/card wallet filled with money and gifted to family members during Chinese New Year, on the front we see the brick-built Rabbit and on the reverse is an embossed gold version of it.

Unlike other LEGO sets the bags inside are unnumbered, this is because the set is a tad on the small side and doesn’t warrant numbered bags, this is fine with me as the 3 bags don’t make to much of mess once tipped out onto the table.

Also inside is the instruction manual, again there isn’t much to it but it’s there and is needed. It uses the ‘no-frills‘ design that we see more and more nowadays, which as I’ve said many times I’m OK with.

The Build:

Starting off with the lower half of the Rabbit, building up the legs, body area and tail. The use of SNOT (studs not on top) elements to allow for slopes to smooth & finish off these areas is great as I personally can’t stand bare studs on a build like this.

Curved quarter tiles and reversed slope pieces are used to round off and create different angles that catch the eye. These are most prominent around the legs to define muscle shape and to tell you the Rabbit is sitting.

Building the head is a similar process, SNOT bricks inside finished off with black & white tiles. It attaches to the body by a small turntable piece, which allows it to rotate freely and pose.

The cute Rabbit sits on a small base made up of 2 half circle plates, a selection of foliage, and finished off with Gold tiles. Again there isn’t too much to this build but it does make the whole look good and it’s nice to have a wat to display the Rabbit.

Overall the set doesn’t offer anything new, unfortunately, but as we’ve come to expect these LEGO Chinese New Year sets are more than that and if you’ve collected the previous ones are a must have, the display potential is amazing.

The parts on offer are good but won’t grab the fancy of fans that part out for MOCs (my own creation). With a handful of black & white slopes and tiles there isn’t much else.

If you’d like one of these yourself please visit LEGO.com or your nearest LEGO store, the spend requirement of £80 ($85/€85) isn’t too bad.

Thank you for reading our review, please head down to the comments section to ask questions, we’re happy to help with any queries.
