Whenever I review a LEGO set, it will show up on this archive page.

As you probably know – a set contains parts that are assembled into a pre made model.  Some sets are big, with over 5000 pieces, while others are small consisting of just a few parts.  They also come with all the pieces you need, as well as a complete set of printed instructions.

Most, but not all LEGO sets have minifigures.  For me, that is, of course a huge factor in deciding if I want to buy the set.

Sets usually come in sealed boxes, or polybags.

Sets can also be a part of a series – like Star Wars, Marvel, Friends, or one of my personal favorites – the LEGO holiday sets that come out every October.

LEGO 75965 The Rise of Voldemort

LEGO 75965 The Rise of Voldemor Set

I just saw this new Harry Potter set pop up on several of the websites I follow for new LEGO Sets. Based on the information included (piece count, pricing, release dates) as well as the high quality box and set photos I thing we can look forward to a brand new Harry Potter LEGO Set – 75965, The Rise of Voldemort

This set is based on a classic scene from the Goblet of Fire, the 4th book (and movie) in the classic Harry Potter Series. I’m not sure why LEGO is releasing new Harry Potter sets this year, the next movie, the 3rd one in the Fantastic Beasts series isn’t going to be released until Nov 20, 2020, but we will have this new Lego set later this summer.

LEGO 75965 Pieces & Minifigures

There are 184 pieces in this set, including 5 minifigures. Harry Potter, Voldemort™, Voldemort™ in baby form, Peter Pettigrew and Death Eater LEGO Minifigures. I don’t see the baby Voldemort in this photo however.

The set seems to have some cool play action items, including gravestones a cauldron, a Tom Riddle Headstone (I sure hope this is a printed piece and not a sticker). I looks like there is also a platform that might lift up revealing something underneath.

I like the Tom Riddle Statue, the Death Eater grave marker, and the darker color plant pieces. This set would be a great one for a draft, too, based on the minifigs and pieces included.

LEGO Stranger Things 75810

Posted on by — Leave a comment

From the beginning, I was hooked on the Netflix Stranger Things Series. Combine that with my love for all things LEGO, and this guy will be standing at the doors to my local LEGO store on May 15 to be the first one in when it opens to buy the new LEGO STRANGER THINGS set as soon as it is released. The official name is “The Upside Down”, but I’ll get to that in a bit.

Lego 75810 Stranger Things is a new 2019 set that is due to be released on May 15, 2019. According to preliminary box photos it will have 2287 pieces and is labeled for ages 16 and up. At this time the LEGO group has been very secretive about the release, with only some cryptic hints on twitter about the upcoming release. And this is how it should be, after all it’s Stranger Things in LEGO.

LEGO 60219 Pieces & Minifigures

There are 2287 pieces in this set, including 8 minifigures. Since LEGO hasn’t released anything official yet, all I can go off of is a grainy box art photo, and rumors from other websites. I see the main build is the Byers house, and there is Sheriff’s Jim Hopper’s Bronco , and that’s all I can tell right now. Of course this article will be updated when I have the set in hand on the 15th.

I can see 8 minifigures on the LEGO Stranger Things Box. They are: Mike Wheeler, Lucas Sinclair, Dustin Henderson, Eleven with her blonde wig, Joyce Byers, and Jim Hopper, Will Byers, as well as the terrifying Demogorgon. Plus it looks like they are wearing their season 1 clothes.

If you look carefully at the box art, it appears the LEGO Upside Down House is actually two houses, that can be turned over to mimic the Upside down world in Stranger things. I can clearly see the string of Alphabet letters in one of the rooms, as well as Dustin’s room and a few other scenes. More details to come for sure! I fully expect to see some bicycles and maybe even a secret compartment for Seven.

LEGO Stranger Things set price

My understanding is that the LEGO Stranger Things set price is going to be around $200. We all know that LEGO sets are expensive, and the themed ones are even more so. I wouldn’t be surprised if this set was even $300. That puts the pieces in the 11.4 to 7.6 cents range which is realistic with current prices.

LEGO Stranger Things Release Date

May 15, 2019 is the day that the LEGO Stranger Things will be released. That’s a Wednesday, and I’ll be at my local LEGO store when they open, to grab one of the first sets. Then I’ll spend the day unboxing the Stranger Things LEGO set, and building it, to get you a review quickly.
