Last Saturday morning, we were up bright and early to make our way to the April 2015 LEGO Club meeting at our local store. It was a packed house today, with tons of parents hanging out on the floors helping their kids build. The story was that our UFO mini build was landing on
If you haven’t set foot in a LEGO store since March, you may have missed the revamp to the LEGO Pick-a-Brick walls that rolled out on the first. Now when you visit your local store, there is a build associated with the Pick-a-Brick wall and the elements sold. May I introduce you to “Pick-a-Model”… This
I have this conversation a lot when I’m with my husband and I run into the LEGO Stephanie’s Beach House set… Me: I really like the set. Him: Yea? Me: Yes. That yellow color calls to me. Him: So buy it. Me: I can’t. Him: Why not? Me: Because I’m really annoyed LEGO used those
So by now you may be wondering what the results were of the Modulars by Kristel Complete the Room Modular Challenge considering how much I blogged about the contest.

Last week, I showed you the entry Mr. Family Brick built for the Complete the Room Challenge at Modulars by Kristel. Today, I want to share the other entry made for the challenge… the baby room! The first build I created was the crib using fence pieces and propped them up on faucets. Hard to
According to The Brick Fan, LEGO is re-releasing the LEGO Green Grocer and the LEGO Cafe Corner modular buildings in a new “Revival” theme series! I so wish that were true… But it’s good to know I wasn’t the only one who got caught up in an April Fool’s joke! There were some funny
