One of the generic sub-themes in the LEGO City line-up is their car wash facilities. These car washes are either stand-alone sets or incorporated into garages and service stations.
Read on as I have a look at 60497 Drive-Through Car Wash.
Today's random set is 9093 Bone Cruncher, released during 2012. It's one of 11 Racers sets produced that year. It contains 87 pieces and 1 minifig, and its retail price was US$9.99 / £7.99, which equates to about US$14 / £12 in today's money.
It's owned by 1,410 Brickset members. If you want to add it to your collection you should find it for sale at Brick Owl, BrickLink, where new ones sell for around $10.80, or eBay.
Today's random figure is sw0901Rose Tico - Dark Blue First Order Officer Disguise, Hat with Hair, a Star Wars figure that came in one set, 75201 First Order AT-ST, released during 2018.
Our members collectively own a total of 6,064 of them. If you'd like to buy one you should find it for sale at Brick Owl or BrickLink, where new ones sell for around $8.40.
Alongside the release of 11386 SpongeBob SquarePants: Bikini Bottom, LEGO has also produced a blocky model of SpongeBob. Unlike the larger set, 40858 SpongeBob SquarePants has attracted much criticism since its reveal.
Is the disdain warranted? I have been interested in finding out, and now is the time...
Star Trek celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2026 and 11385 Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 Bridge seems like a superb concept to mark the occasion. The command bridge aboard the NCC-1701 is a classic location and one that should be perfect for a LEGO diorama.
Indeed, I mentioned the possibility when speculating about LEGO Star Trek in 2024, but I am slightly surprised by its execution, extending beyond the bridge and into the transporter room. The result is a model bigger and more expensive than I expected, though it does look impressive.
There have been multiple large-scale Batmobile sets released over the years and the latest takes inspiration from Batman Returns, serving as the successor to the popular 76139 1989 Batmobile. The press release follows:
76355 Batman Returns Batmobile
2,269 pieces, rated 18+
$229.99 / £189.99 / €209.99 Available at LEGO.com from 1st September
Return to Gotham City: The LEGO Group unveils the LEGO DC Batman Returns Batmobile
Today, the LEGO Group, in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, unveils the LEGO DC Batman: Batman Returns Batmobile (76355). The 2,269-piece set, inspired by the legendary vehicle from the 1992 film Batman Returns, recreates the sleek silhouette, intricate details and unforgettable transformation sequence of one of cinema's most recognisable Super Hero vehicles.
The latest in a series of LEGO Batman display models, this set brings the distinctive vehicle from Tim Burton's Batman Returns to LEGO brick form for the very first time. Featuring authentic details, an innovative transformation function and hidden references from the film, the model celebrates one of Batman's most memorable on-screen appearances.
A legendary Pokémon that was created as a genetically manipulated clone of Mew in the hope of unlocking some of life’s secrets, Mewtwo instead became a weapon and the ultimate monster. This imposing figure looks just as unsettling as its animated counterpart, suspended in a containment cylinder in Dr Fuji’s laboratory.
This set offers fans a fun way to observe and display Mewtwo in stasis, and reenact scenes from Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back with a breakout action. Read on to find out if it stacks up among its SMART Play line or better serves as a display.
Please note: This set does not contain a SMART Brick.
The period between 1938 and 1956 is known as the Golden Age of Comics, when lots of popular comic book characters initially appeared. 40859 Golden Age Superman and Batman groups two such characters together, based on their classic 1940s designs.
Even though eight models of Batman appeared in 40748 Batman 8 in 1, this rendition is unique, while Superman has only appeared once before in a retail BrickHeadz set, so I am pleased to see him available again, in a comic-inspired costume.
40908 Restaurants of the World: Greece is the third in the series of four collectable sets that are being offered as gifts with purchase this year.
We've only just received our sample, so our review is a bit late, but it is still available at LEGO.com, and you have until the 20th to get your order in.
Last month, it was announced that a LEGO animated special based on The Mandalorian would be premiering on Disney+ on September 2nd. A trailer has been released today, giving us a peek at this brick-built take on Din Djarin and Grogu's adventures!
The special certainly looks good to me, with great animation and some funny moments, as you might expect. I look forward to seeing it next month.
You can watch the trailer for LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian after the break...
