LEGO Icons 10353 Williams FW14B & Nigel Mansell: “And colossally, that’s LEGO Mansell!” [Review & Exclusive Designer Insights]

Modern Formula One cars are fantastically complex beasts. And yet, if you ask hardcore F1 fans what the most technologically advanced car ever is, there’s a good chance they will plump for one from 1992. The Williams FW14B is famous for enjoying its technological superiority over its rivals, with traction control and active suspension among its many innovations. This icon of 1990s F1 is now getting an official LEGO set, alongside its most famous pilot, in the form of 10353 Williams Racing FW14B & Nigel Mansell. With an RRP of US $79.99 | CAN $99.99 | UK £69.99, this 799-piece kit can be pre-ordered now ahead of its general release on March 1st. (You might also see it on eBay or Amazon thereafter.)

Our editor-in-chief Andrew Becraft visited Billund last year to talk to LEGO Icons designer (and LEGO Masters Australia victor) Gus McLaren about this set ahead of its release. So you can expect to see some interesting bits of information sprinkled throughout this review. (A shout-out too to Nicole, AKA GirlBricksALot, for joining Andrew in the interview and backing him up with some specialist F1 knowledge!)

LEGO digs up a huge new set with LEGO Jurassic World 76968 Dinosaur Fossils: Tyrannosaurus rex [News]

The LEGO Dinosaur Fossils series grows by one more set today with the debut of LEGO Jurassic World 76968 Dinosaur Fossils: Tyrannosaurus rex, a massive 3,145-piece addition to the line. Previously only containing LEGO Jurassic World 76964 Dinosaur Fossils: T-Rex Skull and LEGO Jurassic World 76969 Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops Skull, 76968 marks the first time in the series where an entire dinosaur skeleton is on display. However, echoing the design of the other two entries, the bones come with a display stand that includes some added bonus beyond the fossil. And this time, that means we get minifigures of Dr. Ellie Sattler and Dr. Alan Grant from the original Jurassic Park movie. If you’re looking to start your own museum with this 41 inch-long set (105 cm in metric), LEGO Jurassic World 76968 Dinosaur Fossils: Tyrannosaurus rex will hit store shelves on March 15th (with early access for Insiders on the 12th) and retail for US $249.99 | CAN $329.99 | UK £219.99

LEGO Speed Champions 77242 – 77251 Formula One car collection: is this peak Speed Champions? [Review]

Next week, the Formula One teams will emerge from their bases and hit the track for the first time in almost three months, with pre-season testing preceding the season-opening Australian Grand Prix. What better time, then, for LEGO to launch not one, not two, not even three – but 10 (yes, count them, ten!) F1 cars than on March 1st? These form part of a wider tie-in between the Danish brick company and the world’s premier motorsport series. All ten current constructors are represented, and with part counts ranging between 242 and 275, they can be pre-ordered now with an RRP of US $26.99 | CAN $34.99 | UK £22.99 each. On the surface, they all appear very similar – but are they? Will one stand out to take the chequered flag ahead of all the others? Or will the racing margins be too tight to call a winner? Read on as we build all 10 to find out!

LEGO 10362 French Café – a slice of Paris [Review]

LEGO’s focus on deep building experiences for adults really took off with the debut of the Modular line in 2007 and Architecture one year later. With LEGO Icons 10362 French Café, the first set in a new Restaurants of the World subtheme, LEGO seems to be splitting the difference between intricate diorama detail and shelf-ready display piece. For whom does this slice of the Belle Epoche toll? Does it toll for thee? Available now for pre-order, and shipping on March 1st, LEGO Icons 10362 French Café retails for $79.99 | CAN $99.99 | UK £69.99 on the LEGO website. You may also be able to find it through third party vendors on Amazon or eBay.

LEGO Art 31215 Vincent Van Gogh Sunflowers – And it was all yellow [Review]

The LEGO Art theme promises to give builders a deeper appreciation of great works through the guided creation of their own replica masterpieces. Van Gogh’s Starry Night started as an Ideas project and was soon followed by The Great Wave of Kanagawa by Hokusai and DaVinci’s Mona Lisa. For the fourth painting to get the brick treatment, LEGO returns to the Dutch Impressionist Vincent van Gogh with 31215 Sunflowers. Containing 2,615 pieces, it’s the largest LEGO painting in the Art line, and one that the LEGO Company worked closely on with the Van Gogh Museum for maximum authenticity. You can acquire your own copy of this iconic work starting on March 1st for US $199.99 | CAN $259.99 | UK £169.99. Is it time to invest in a second Van Gogh for your collection? Let’s have a look!
