20 years of kunstform (2003): How it all began?!



20 Years of kunstform: How It All Began?! Around the 2000s, Stuttgart, partly due to the excellent BMX Flatland spot 'Haus der Geschichte' and riders like Stephan 'Ass' Dietrich and Philip Jakober, held a magical allure. Many BMX riders from all over Germany, including Sebastian Pospischil, Florian Sailer, Moritz Edschmid, Philip Früh, Roman Rommel, and later, Daniel Fuhrmann, John Krämer, Oliver Radunz, and many more, moved to Stuttgart. The scene thrived, and it gave rise to unforgettable parties and events like the BMX Contest series 'Battle in the Club' and many BMX jams.

Sebastian Pospischil, while studying, initiated the kunstform project from his BMX flatshare in 2003. Initially, he imported smaller BMX brands like Artzone, Jim Bob, and FlatTV. The first website went live under the domain www.kunstform.org, and the initial team riders, Chris Böhm, Daniel Hennig, and Sven Steinbach, received support through kunstform.

In Jordan's words: "I chose a bold orange combined with classic black for a really eye-catching look. I'm really grateful to Etnies for the chance to contribute my own opinion - from the handmade prints Until the final scan, I am thrilled with the result in every way. Thank you for the love and support, forever grateful..." Now available!

Review: 71485 Mateo and Z-Blob the Knight Battle Mech

One of the largest sets in this year's wave of DREAMZzz is 71485 Mateo and Z-Blob the Knight Battle Mech. Mechs seem to be increasibly popular nowadays, having made their way into western culture from Japanese origins, and builders of this set are provided with a choice of three to construct.

As with all the DREAMZzz sets, we're invited to join with the Dream Chasers as they enter the dream world and battle the Never Witch and her nightmare creatures to stop them stealing childrens' memories and turning them into nightmares. Let's take a look at how Mateo's comic creation, Z-Blob, can transform into larger-than-life dream machines to take on the dark side.

Review: 10339 Santa's Post Office

The enduring Winter Village series provides an appealing blend of relatively realistic and more fantastical subjects, swapping between the two periodically. 10339 Santa's Post Office belongs among the latter and seemingly complements 10275 Elf Club House in particular.

Focusing on how letters to Santa are delivered and sorted is a clever idea for the Winter Village and I find the post office building attractive, featuring plenty of detail. Moreover, this model includes some interesting functions, beyond the norm for sets in the Winter Village produced to date.

[UK] New store opening in Bristol tomorrow

The UK's latest brand store, at Cribbs Causeway shopping centre near Bristol, opens at 10am tomorrow.

It's a bit of a mystery why the location was chosen for a new store when it's so close to the branch in the centre of the city, particularly as there are other parts of the country crying out for one, but at least it's much easier to get to by car, being just off the M5, junction 17.

Those visiting the store on or before the 10th of November will receive 40528 LEGO Brand Retail Store on purchases over £120.

The shop, which is near Boots on the upper floor of the centre, hosted a press/AFOL event this evening at which our Bristol-based correspondent Emily took the photos of the inside that you'll find after the break.

Review: 42631 Adventure Camp Tree House

So far in the adventure camp theme we've seen two Friends with their cosy cabins, another pair working on their archery skills, and yet another pair working on their artistry and kayaking skills. All the sets came with a cute Friends animal.

Now it's time to take a look at the largest set in the adventure camp, 42631 Adventure Camp Tree House. I suspect we're going to meet the other three Friends here, and I expect more animals. (The sloths may make an appearance or two, as this is where they spent their summer vacation.)

Review: 75374 The Onyx Cinder

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is the latest Star Wars series arriving on Disney+ and 75374 The Onyx Cinder presents the titular crew alongside their ship. Though little is currently known about the vehicle, it definitely captures the traditional Star Wars aesthetic.

The asymmetrical turrets and offset cockpit are interesting and I like the Onyx Cinder's worn exterior, featuring lots of rusty dark tan accents. Moreover, the interior is relatively spacious, with enough room for five minifigures and some accessories, which is exactly what I hope for when building Star Wars sets like this one.

Recent reviews

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

75374 The Onyx Cinder

Though expensive, the Onyx Cinder is an outstanding model, inside and out

42623 Beach Water Scooter

Another good pocket money set for the Friends line

42631 Adventure Camp Tree House

The largest adventure camp set is filled with fun activities and cute animals

10339 Santa's Post Office

Though not as refined as some Winter Village sets, this is an enjoyable instalment

71485 Mateo and Z-Blob the Knight Battle Mech

Three large and impressive-looking mechs to choose from, though not without stability issues.

5009005 Entrance Gate

A lovely diorama to go with the Botanical Garden

Review: 42625 Beach Smoothie Stand

As the weather turns cooler here for those of us in the northern hemisphere, it's nice to look at sets to remind us of warmer settings.

After spending the time at camp, the Friends head to the beach. In addition to the jetskis from 42623, the Friends have some land-based beach activities, with 42625 Beach Smoothie Stand. It feels to me that there have been several smoothie stands in Heartlake City, but according to the database, this is just the second one (the first being a polybag).

Review: Shadow the Hedgehog

As discussed in the Mona Lisa review, organic figures and faces are challenging to represent in a brick-built format. However, at least in my experience, one of the most enjoyable aspects of building with LEGO is the challenge of designing something within limitations. With the growing palette of elements available these days, designers can tackle much more intricate forms.

Previously known for his work on Minecraft and Sonic sets with a younger target age range, LEGO Designer Aron Gerencser has now taken his first step into 18+ sets with 77000 Shadow the Hedgehog.
