Lego Ghostbusters HQ

As a child of the 80s, when the Ecto-1 came up in Lego format, it was a day 1 purchase for me, and now Lego and the Ghostbuster theme is really hitting it off. Rumours of sets from the new Ghostbusters movie, as well as Lego Dimension sets (including a Stay Puft minifigure, which I so can't wait for!) And 1st January 2016 launched the Ghostbuster HQ and at over 4500 pieces, it is an impressive set, though at a very high price point. Though that is more pieces than the Helicarrier, any of the recent modulars, and even more than the most recent Death Star

Lego Angry Birds Movie Sets

Coming out in April this year will be the Lego Angry Birds Movie sets. At first I heard the rumours I wasn't sure about this theme, I assumed the Angry Birds game fad had passed though after seeing the sets they look great, nice and colourful.
