There is no era I feel more in tune with than the 1970s.

You’ll frequently find me dressing in fake fur-lined jackets with a high leather boot and hippie-inspired jewellery.

And while I’ve had to adapt my style to suit the modern era, I still very much enjoy anything old school and creative, which is why LEGO’s latest toy has special appeal to me.

The Retro Roller Skate set is here to take you on a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

This vibrant 3-in-1 set isn’t just for kids — adult LEGO fans are raving about it too.

The star of the show is, of course, the roller skate itself.

The kit comes with three different retro models. Credit: Amazon

Built with a funky 70s-inspired colour scheme it features four bright pink wheels that actually roll, a classic pink toe stopper and thick yellow laces that add a playful touch.

But the real fun lies in the customisation.

Customers on Amazon have commented on how much their kids enjoyed using the included colourful pieces to personalise the heel of the skate, making it truly their own.

Now the beauty of this set is that the roller skate isn’t the only option.

With a quick rebuild you can transform the set into a cool mini skateboard with its own set of rolling wheels.

Want to blast some retro tunes? No problem. The third build option lets you create a delightful boombox radio complete with a small antenna.

As an adult, even I would be excited to receive this. Credit: Amazon

While the roller skate seems to be a universal crowd-pleaser, some reviewers on enthusiast sites like Hoth Bricks felt that the skateboard and boombox builds were a bit less impressive.

They might not have the same level of detail or playability as the main attraction.

Despite this, the overall consensus is overwhelmingly positive.

Most reviewers agree that you get a good bang for your buck with this set, especially now that Amazon has discounted the price by 30 per cent down to $35.

The unique pink wheels and the variety of colourful parts are a big draw and the 3-in-1 functionality offers extended play value.
