Many LEGO set designers use our BrickLists feature to maintain a list of the sets they've worked on and often provide interesting insights about their involvement.

Once a week we publish an entry from one of their lists on the home page to increase awareness of this information and to encourage more designers to create them.

Graphic design by Paul Turcanu and Xiaodong Wen and the creative lead was Simon Lucas.

While not outstanding, this polybag provides ample play value and the new poster

71471 Mateo's Off-Road Car

More affordable DREAMZzz sets are welcome, but Mateo's buggy is underwhelming

71805 Jay's Mech Battle Pack

The minifigure selection is exceptional and Jay's mini mech is surprisingly fun too
