July’s LEGO releases are a calm in the storm between a busy June and what’s shaping up to be an absolutely stacked August. We’ve reviewed all five sets and our pick of the month is the Shelby Cobra, which guest reviewer Firas Abu-Jabber praised for the innovative techniques and highly satisfying build process. If car’s don’t get your motor running, Toothless might not be the take on the Night Fury that we wanted, but it’s a very cute set with broad appeal. To sweeten the deal this month, LEGO’s latest GWP – Friendly Snails – is one of the most delightful free sets we’ve seen all year.

In his review, Daniel found the latest Marvel Mask to be a good likeness of the beloved hero, but between the price and stickers, it’s hard to recommend the set to non fans.
