Buzz Lightyear mentions the Evil Emperor Zurg when introducing himself during Toy Story. The characters' original showdown therefore occurs during Lightyear, but Zurg's threatening design offers some substantial changes, relative to his previously regal appearance.

76831 Zurg Battle indicates this villain provides greater physical threat than was perhaps the case previously, towering above Buzz Lightyear and Izzy Hawthorne. The model looks superb though, alongside some appealing minifigures.

Here's word from Ed at BrickPicker about this year's fundraiser for his kids' school:

The 2021 Brickpicker LEGO sweepstakes for St. Paul School in Burlington, NJ is now active and will be ending next weekend. All donations and proceeds from the LEGO sweepstakes will go directly to support St. Paul School and its faculty and daily operating costs in these trying times.

St. Paul School is a 501(c)(3) and the sweepstakes are run by a secure and safe site, Rallyup.com. Over the past six years, Huw and Brickset members have generously supported this cause and helped us raise over $200,000 for the school.

This year there are 16 LEGO prizes up for grabs with a combined retail value of around $7000.

In the second of a series of reviews, I take a look at 910001 Castle in the Forest.

This set taps into the overwhelming support that exists in the LEGO community for castle themed sets that all started with the 1978 release of 375 Castle: one of the Classic themes released that year that heralded the minifigure.

Read on as I continue my series of reviews of the BrickLink Designer Program sets.

71033 The Muppets Collectable Minifigures has proven notably appealing, featuring various fun characters from the delightful puppet ensemble. These minifigures include intricate head sculpts and resemble the excellent designs from 21324 123 Sesame Street.

Exclusive heads were successful for the Sesame Street characters and 71030 Looney Tunes Collectable Minifigures, so should prove effective here. However, the varying Muppets offer some interesting challenges for minifigure design.

Here's the press release for the next Ultimate Collector Series Star Wars model:

75341 Landspeeder
1,890 pieces, rated 18+
$199.99 / £174.99 / € 199.99
Available from 1st May at LEGO.com

Today, the LEGO Group announces the new epic LEGO Star Wars Luke Skywalker Landspeeder set – the latest in the LEGO Ultimate Collector Series (UCS). A faithful recreation of Luke’s battered vehicle, the new 1,890-piece model is a must-have for Star Wars and LEGO fans alike.

X-34 Landspeeders were typical civilian transports, designed to withstand the roughest terrains. The Landspeeder was first seen in Star Wars: A New Hope, where Luke used the vehicle extensively as part of his farm work, travelling across Tatooine’s harsh deserts. Accompanied by C-3PO, Luke used the Landspeeder to locate R2-D2, when he was discovered by Obi-Wan Kenobi. It was also the vehicle they were travelling in when Obi-Wan used a Jedi mind trick to get past Stormtroopers guarding entry into Mos Eisley. Eventually Luke sold the Landspeeder to pay for his transport to the planet Alderaan.

LEGO takes frequent inspiration from animated movies and resultant sets consistently prioritise younger builders, unsurprisingly! The same was envisaged for Lightyear. 76832 XL-15 Spaceship defies expectation though, featuring wonderful building techniques and detail.

This model appears remarkably impressive and appears more focused upon display than normal, among Pixar sets. The spacecraft therefore includes a display stand and some appealing minifigures accompany this amazing model too.
