New inventories and partsPosted by Huw, 02 Mar 2017 11:20 LEGO has just published instructions and inventories for the March releases on its customer services portal. Although I have not checked them all, the inventories appear to be complete and include a couple of interesting new parts which I examine after the break. Review: 75879 Scuderia Ferrari SF16-HPosted by CapnRex101, 01 Mar 2017 16:35View image at flickr Formula One racing cars have been the subject of LEGO products since the 1970s and their design has evolved according to the changing selection of pieces available.
75879 Scuderia Ferrari SF16-H represents the latest model in the series and has been released alongside 75833 Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team. All three vehicles are based on the cars designed for the 2016 season and this Ferrari is accordingly distinct from that found in 75913 F14 T & Scuderia Ferrari Truck. The model is decorated with almost thirty stickers which are laden with advertising and the bodywork is accurately represented using a selection of curved slopes and tiles. In fact, I think this might be the best Formula One car released to date! BrickHeadz available nowPosted by TheBrickPal, 01 Mar 2017 14:00Iron Man Ten of the first series of BrickHeadz sets, not including Pirates of the Caribbean, are now available at shop. and Brand Stores - four Marvel (Cinematic Universe), four DC (Batman Movie) and two Disney (Beauty and the Beast).

Perhaps the most interesting are four plush minifigures: Batman, Batgirl, Kai and Nya. They are pretty expensive (£20.00/$24.99), I have to admit, but at 12"/30cm tall they are probably pretty cool!. You can see all the new stuff that's been added on our New at shop.It's easier to see it there than on LEGO's terrible New sets page!

LEGO Ideas review resultsPosted by Huw, 28 Feb 2017 15:00 Here are the second 2016 review results: Spoiler after the break... The Lego Group sells various themes of its Lego construction toys.This is a list of LEGO themes, or lines of LEGO sets, according to their official categorization. This article is an attempt to create a list of all lines of LEGO sets, commonly called "themes", such as "LEGO Town" and "BIONICLE" and the years they were introduced and removed.
This does not include years where a certain theme was dropped and brought back the next year.The name 'LEGO' is an abbreviation of the two Danish words "leg godt", meaning "play well". It’s our name and it’s our ideal. The LEGO Group was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen. The company has passed from father to son and is now owned by Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, a grandchild of the founder. It has come a long way over the past almost 80 years - from a small carpenter’s workshop to a modern, global enterprise that is now one of the world’s largest manufacturers of toys. The LEGO brick is our most important product. We are proud to have been named “Toy of the Century” twice. Our products have undergone extensive development over the years – but the foundation remains the traditional LEGO brick. The brick in its present form was launched in 1958. The interlocking principle with its tubes makes it unique and offers unlimited building possibilities. It's just a matter of getting the imagination going – and letting a wealth of creative ideas emerge through play.
Browse the LEGO history through the decades on the timeline above... Can I get a full list of every set LEGO has ever come out with? is an excellent website with an inventory of sets stretching back as far as 1966. The list is not 100% complete and the site is not an official site of the LEGO groups so it relies on contributions from fans for its updates. The information below is from the site itself: What's in the database? The database does not contain everything that LEGO has ever made or that carries a LEGO logo. The completeness of the database is roughly as follows:The era is too complex to cover adequately, and of insufficient interest to justify spending time researching. 1966-1969: Most regular sets, but excluding brick and service packs. 1970-2006: 98% of sets, and also many extended product lines. 2007-date: 99.9% of sets, and most extended product lines sold at shop. Although the database contains many non-brick items ('Gear') that are LEGO branded, it does not contain them all: there are too many to keep track of!
