We at the Brothers Brick got through quite a lot of LEGO this year. We had 81 reviews penned by both in-house and guest writers, and that’s not even counting the sets we bought of our own volition! As you know, we’re an opinionated bunch. We all have our favourites: LEGO kits that wowed us with new parts, interesting techniques, or just downright charm. On the other hand, you can’t win them all, and there were a fair few duds this year too. We’ve listed some of our picks for both categories below. Agree or disagree? Tell us in the comments! What were your most and least favourite sets from 2025? Let’s get the bad out the way first, shall we? Star Wars 75406 Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle The best thing about Kylo Ren’s shuttle was Jake’s sub-heading for his review. (I thought it was funny, anyway!) And while not necessarily...

Over the years, David Roberts  has created a vast fleet of small LEGO spacecraft featuring bright colors and designs that evoke the sci-fi future of decades past. The builder’s latest is the Y Cranc starfighter, and it’s one of my favorites. The sturdy hull is all SNOT in primary blue and yellow with Technic struts giving the ship a crab-like silhouette. David was inspired by an illustration from @thisnorthernboy, with the colors swapped to work from the parts in his collection. As David says in his description, building within constraints can make LEGO fun, whatever the size of your collection, and I admire how much David continues to innovate without the need to keep up with the latest elements.

Brickbot Studio here with a look at the smaller Star Wars playsets coming to stores on January 1st. 2025 had Star Wars fans debating whether LEGO could still deliver good value with its galactic offerings. In addition to a pair of midi-scale vehicles and a new brick-built BB-8, LEGO is releasing a quartet of sets priced between $10-$23 based on The Mandalorian and The Clone Wars. Will this budget wave of sets win us over? Let’s have a look! First up, we’re taking a look at TheMandalorian and Grogu’s Speeder Bike. This is a small and relatively inexpensive set, but one that clearly exists to get a pair of extremely popular characters back onto shelves in an accessible way. First Impressions At first glance, this set is fairly unimpressive. It’s small, simple, and not exactly packed with parts. That said, it does offer a cheap and easy way to pick up...

I guess LEGO isn’t done with the promotions for 2025 as they have brought back a few from the past including 2x Insiders points on select sets, all of which end at the end of the year. First is the LEGO Star Wars TIE Fighter with Imperial Hangar Rack (40771) when you purchase the Ultimate Collector Series Death Star (75419). When you purchase the LEGO Harry Potter Hogsmeade Village – Collectors’ Edition (76457), you can get the Hogwarts Castle: Room of Requirement (40770). For the general purchase GWPs, you can get the LEGO Creation Celebration: Ferris Wheel with Fireworks (40758) when you make a purchase of $85 or more and the LEGO Spring Festival Lucky Knots (40756) when you make a $150 purchase. This would work great on some of the End-of-Year Sales or any sets that are retiring at the end of the year. For the double Insiders points sets,...
