Many LEGO set designers use our BrickLists feature to maintain a list of the sets they've worked on and often provide interesting insights about their involvement.

Once a week we publish an entry from one of their lists on the home page to increase awareness of this information and to encourage more designers to create them.

Michael Svane Knap wrote this about their work on 70643 Temple of Resurrection:

This model came to life from a great sketch model created by Adrian Florea, Adrian worked for a long time in the Ninjago team being a defining factor of establishing the aesthetic and feel of Ninjago. This was the last Ninjago model he put his touch on.
The model went through minor downscale since the sketch model did not fit the price point. The most work went in to creating a solid foundation for the elevated platform and to refine and make the scissor roof function work.

This set is the set i have created with most standard bricks in them, this make it in my opinion a great parts pack for kids that want to build their own stuff.

When it comes to figures, I love when there is an opportunity to put in side characters. And being able to integrate 3 in this set was great. The Jade princess, her bodyguard Mr.Hutchins and, of course, for the first time in a Ninjago set, a baby.

Here's a list of the reviews that we've published recently:

	10334 Retro Radio A full scale model that captures the nostalgia of old time radio
	76440 Triwizard Tournament: The Arrival The long-awaited Durmstrang Ship looks magnificent, albeit with little interior
	75390 Luke Skywalker X-wing Mech 75390 Luke Skywalker Mech provides fantastic play value and its design is creative
	21061 Notre-Dame de Paris A highly detailed and attractive model of a beautiful building
	75581 Minions' Music Party Bus I like the Minions' party bus, particularly inside, but the figures are underwhelming

When I heard about the new Icons set, the only description I received was that it was "music-related". To be perfectly frank, I thought Huw was sending me another writing exercise, similar to when I reviewed the Elvis Presley art set, or the iconic Rolling Stones logo. However, on opening the box for 10334 Retro Radio, it looks like I hit the jackpot, and was queen for a day.

Could this review be another fun opportunity to work in references to the subject matter?

You bet your life!

Welcome to "What's Up With That...?", the article series where I, ex-LEGO designer James and host of new YouTube channel TUBESIDE, will explore some of the frequently asked questions from AFOLs about the mysteries of the design decisions of The LEGO Group.

One of the hottest topics in the AFOL community which gets discussed every time a new set is reviewed is “why are there so many stickers in this set?” or “this set is all prints, why can't they all be like this?” In my YouTube videos (like and subscribe), this is one of the most common questions I get asked too.

So today, let's try and demystify this and figure out: what’s up with that...?

LEGO Harry Potter returned in 2018 and nearly everything featured in the older sets, produced between 2001 and 2011, has subsequently been revisited. However, the famed Durmstrang Ship has been an exception, other than a couple of microscale designs.

At last, the vessel returns at minifigure-scale in 76440 Triwizard Tournament: The Arrival, long after its memorable predecessor, 4768 The Durmstrang Ship, from 2005. This model appears accurate to the movie and quite unlike previous LEGO sailing ships, while an updated version of the Beauxbatons carriage is also included, with suitable minifigures for each vehicle.

A trio of Star Wars mechs arrived last year and drew a mixed reception. 75369 Boba Fett Mech was broadly well received and includes a highly desirable minifigure, but the other mechs seem lacking in personality, borrowing only superficial features from their drivers.

75390 Luke Skywalker X-wing Mech appears far more interesting in that respect, translating the famous features of an X-wing Starfighter into mech form! The combination appears effective and the Luke Skywalker minifigure is welcome, rarely appearing in such small sets.
