The last three Friends sets that I'll be reviewing this year fall under a familiar theme for Friends: vacation! The first of these is 42664 Travel Boat Adventure.
It's been a while since I've reviewed a Friends boat, which are usually excellent. I was happy to see that this boat is a catamaran – it reminds me of 41317 Sunshine Catamaran, which was a favourite of mine.
This set will appeal a broad range of LEGO enthusiasts. It is beautifully designed and well constructed. It will be on lots of people's watch lists and I believe it will sell out quickly
Last week we asked you to nominate sets released this year that you felt represented good value for money at full price.
Around 250 different sets made the list, suggesting that although many recent releases are not perceived to be good value, quite a lot are, by some of you at least.
I did consider running a poll to determine, from the ten sets that received the most nominations, the one that you think is the best value overall, but it became apparent that the one that received the most votes accumulated twice as many as the one in second place, making it a clear winner and a poll redundant.
So, after the break you'll find a full run-down of the top ten. There are some surprising entries, including the set at the top spot.
For many reasons, The Goonies movie, that was released forty years ago in June 1985, holds a nostalgic place in many people's hearts, including my own.
Being able to review this set has taken me right back to my teenage years. I remember the movie well, and I have a link to where it was filmed: Astoria and the Oregon coast.
Read on and come on a journey with me down memory lane as I review 21363 The Goonies.
Eight new Minecraft sets have been announced, ahead of their release on January 1st 2026!
These range from the tiny 21583 Steve's Taiga Adventure to the 797-piece 21589 Mini Biomes, which is an interesting model reminiscent of the original Micro World sets.

“Hey, you guys!” Relive The Goonies movie adventure with this collectable LEGO Ideas set
This diorama model features brick-built vignettes of iconic scenes from the 1980s cult classic movie, from the Fratellis’ hideaway and caves to Willy’s treasure room. Turn the model around to view a detailed recreation of the exterior of the Inferno pirate ship ruins.
The set includes twelve LEGO minifigures of key characters from the movie and the interiors are packed with authentic details. Send a minifigure through the secret fireplace entrance to the caves. Activate the boulder-dropping trap. Use the Copper Bones Skeleton Key to release the trapdoor. Push the keys on the skeleton organ to break the floor and access the slide to the octopus (from a deleted scene). Send Sloth sliding down the mast on the Inferno deck.
