By now you’ve probably read the news that LEGO decided to re-release the LEGO Winter Village Toy Shop from 2009 as this year’s “new” LEGO Winter Village set. While I don’t own the original set, I’d say I’m none too happy… which seems to be the general consensus. If you haven’t browsed other blog posts

The LEGO Americana Roadshow comes to Georgia!
I’ve been enviously watching the announcements for The LEGO Americana Roadshow as it made stops all year long around the US. I had plans for us to make a weekend trip if it landed someplace close this summer, but it never really worked out the way I expected. Or so I thought. You can imagine how
Make Chocolate LEGO Bricks
It was a few months ago that someone forwarded me a video from The King of Random on how to make LEGO Gummie candies. (If you haven’t seen it, you should check out the video above. It’s really awesome.) However, it looks as if someone took it one step further and used it to make

In my defense, if you look at the picture from the mini build website, you could easily mistake what’s in the pouch for nuts. (Just give me
Oops! Don’t mind our hiccup…
Did you stop by the site this morning? If you did, you may have run across a GoDaddy “domain expired” message. We let our domain name lapse around here, by mistake of course… There’s been a lot of this going around this week: I usually don’t write about things that are too personal on The Family
4 Previous LEGO Series Minifigures Get Halloween Treatment
I ran across an article at the Italian LEGO blog Point Brick Blog where the they talk about what they call “easter eggs” related to the release of the LEGO Series 14 Halloween Minifigures. Italian is not one of the languages I speak, but from what I can gather (and their pictures help out a lot), they’re talking about the
