An AFOL’s return to the LEGO kingdom
Polish AFOL Szymon Perz has created impressive builds in themes ranging from Pirates to Neo-Classic Space to the Old West, and of course, Castle. After a prolific run of MOCs, the builder disappeared two years ago and has been sorely missed. This week Szymon returns with a new castle creation that he calls a tribute to the Castle Era. During his time away, Szymon has been brushing up on newer castle techniques, taking a page from Rivendell’s intricate roof tiling, but also experimenting with SNOT techniques for walls and rockwork. Welcome back, Szymon – we can’t wait to see where your building will lead you next!

LEGO Icons 10361 Holiday Express Train: all I want for Christmas is... 3D printed LEGO? [Review]
Isn’t it weird how trains and Christmas seem to have such a close association? Whether that’s down to unwrapping a train set on the big day, or Santa Claus becoming a railway magnate to help distribute presents, we couldn’t say. Either way – festive trains have also been a regular feature of LEGO’s product lineup over the years, including two at minifigure scale. This October 4th, you’ll be able to add a third engine to the Winter Village train shed. In some ways, it’s the same old story – but there are big changes afoot among this set’s 956 pieces courtesy of the first 3D printed element to show up in a widely available set. Got your tickets ready? We’re travelling first class on the TBB Review Special of 10361 Holiday Express Train!

LEGO Death Star’s Tie Fighter with Hanger Rack – how does the GWP measure up? [Review]
It would be an understatement to say that LEGO Star Wars 75419 Death Star has been a Force Lightning rod for controversy since it was formally revealed last week. As you can tell from our review, the hands-on experience left us feeling as fried as Luke after his encounter with the Emperor. Surprisingly, the accompanying gift with purchase 40771 TIE Fighter with Imperial Hangar Rack, has generated almost as much attention, mostly negative. A lot of this stems from LEGO’s publicity photos showing the TIE Fighter with the set, despite it being a limited-time exclusive, garnering the label “DLC” after video games that seemingly lock off part of a complete game under a paywall. Even if that wasn’t the intent, it’s not a good look, especially when this “missing piece” is part of LEGO’s most expensive set yet. Questionable marketing aside, how does the bonus set hold up?
