Oh yes my friends… it’s that time of year again, it’s LEGO Second Christmas! Well, there’s no such thing as a LEGO Second Christmas. It’s what I call January 1st, the time of the year when new LEGO sets are released and we flood the stores to pick them up with our Christmas money burning a
Tomorrow is the start date of the January 2016 LEGO Monthly Mini Build, the first monthly mini build of the new year. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s an adorable little polar bear build. It looks to be mainly bricks, but I do see a Technic ball and some speciality foot pieces. It doesn’t

If you remember a while ago, I had an email out to LEGO customer service to get a fix for the LEGO Wall-E neck/head swivel/droop issue. Last week, I read that LEGO was finally getting back to customers about the LEGO WALL-E neck fix. With my family in town, I faintly remember seeing an email
A few weeks ago someone asked me for Piragua Cart instructions. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, the Piragua Cart was the MOC I made at the beginning of the year for the Friendly Food February Building Challenge over at the Heartlake Times blog.

There’s another LEGO style tshirt out there today… Check out the LEGO Super Brick Bros tshirt today on RIPT apparel! This design features our favorite Italian arcade character – Mario – from the Super Mario Bros games, holding a brick and a coin. He looks a little scuffed up on the edges, but he’s been running
Updated for 2023… It’s been long coming, but this is the last in a series of posts titled The Ultimate List of LEGO Holiday Sets. This is probably the longest post of them all, as LEGO ornaments are in that sweet price point no one thinks twice of picking up. They also make excellent stocking stuffers. LEGO
