LEGO ICONS 90th anniversary 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle was originally even bigger
LEGO ICONS 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle is a huge, sprawling 90th-anniversary set – but at one point in the design process, it was actually even bigger.

LEGO ICONS 10497 Galaxy Explorer review
LEGO ICONS 10497 Galaxy Explorer tackles a true classic for the 90th anniversary – but can it successfully push our nostalgia buttons while simultaneously delivering something fresh and new?
