Your mileage may vary depending on your location, but after the Arctic chill of my last article, I thought I’d warm things up a bit! As I’m heading to Florida on holiday later this month, flamingos seemed an appropriate creature to evoke sunnier climes. A Collectible Flamingo First up we have companion creature to the Collectible Minifigure Series 19 Gardener. I’ve always read her as a good ol’ Florida woman living in her trailer, tending her patch and enjoying a margarita. View fullsize View fullsize 57798pb01 The Flamingo is the first moulded one to grace the LEGOverse, which is quite a late addition, only arriving in 2019. Sadly, it has only ever been released in this set, but I am 100% sure it has shown up in many AFOLs’ zoo and botanical gardens MOCs. The only thing that confuses me about this mostly life-like, system-scale beauty is that its legs are...

In a year filled with challenges, the LEGO Group’s Build to Give initiative inspired individuals worldwide to build hearts and share them on social media or LEGO Life using the hashtag #BuildtoGive during the month of December. For every heart shared, the LEGO Group would donate a LEGO set to a child in need of play. Since its inception in 2017, the #BuildToGive initiative has successfully donated more than 6.5 million LEGO sets. These sets are distributed through the LEGO Group’s network of local charity partners in 24 countries, making a significant difference in the lives of children facing adversity. My contribution for this year’s #buildtogive initiative. Inspired by the spirit of the initiative, the Philippine LEGO Users Group (PhLUG) found a heartwarming way to celebrate Christmas. We received an invitation to join the festivities at Mano Amiga Academy, a school dedicated to children from low-income families. The academy’s annual Christmas...

The X-Men returns again in 2024 with the LEGO Marvel X-Men X-Jet (76281) from the upcoming X-Men ’97 animated series. It’s also called the Blackbird but licensing issues may have caused LEGO to use the alternative name. The set has only 359 pieces but retails for an astonishing $84.99 much to the displeasure from fans. Is the set worth this price? Spoilers: It’s not. Minifigures There are four minifigures in the set, Wolverine, Cyclops, Rogue, and Magneto. Wolverine is actually different from the Series 2 LEGO Marvel Studios Collectible Minifigures (71039). We still have the tiger stripe yellow and blue outfit but he does not have the blue shoulderpads on the arms this time. The legs are also the same as before with the dual molding but my copy wasn’t fully printed so the blue is bleeding through the yellow. His double-sided head shows him with a smirk on one side...
