Whenever I review a LEGO set, it will show up on this archive page.

As you probably know – a set contains parts that are assembled into a pre made model. Some sets are big, with over 5000 pieces, while others are small consisting of just a few parts. They also come with all the pieces you need, as well as a complete set of printed instructions.

Most, but not all LEGO sets have minifigures. For me, that is, of course a huge factor in deciding if I want to buy the set.

Sets usually come in sealed boxes, or polybags.

Sets can also be a part of a series – like Star Wars, Marvel, Friends, or one of my personal favorites – the LEGO holiday sets that come out every October.
