Well, this is a first for us… I just posted yesterday about DixieLUG’s participation in this weekend’s 2020 Model Train show. This morning, we woke to find the show was canceled. Writing about a pandemic affecting LEGO is not something I thought I would be writing about on this blog, but here we are. The

We’ve participated yearly since 2016. I know, I know… it’s happening this weekend and I probably didn’t give you much time to plan,
Welcome to 2020! We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a happy and safe New Year celebration… and that you made it to the LEGO store at least once or twice in December to enjoy all the magical Christmas energy and store builds. If you did, you probably saw the LEGO Pick-A-Brick Christmas
As you know, our thing here is building winter village. Which is why we were so excited to be asked to review the LEGO Gingerbread House Light Kit from Game of Bricks! I think I may have literally squealed out loud. And Mr. Family Brick? Equally as excited, because adding lights to our build has
Is it safe to say the reason you came to our blog is because of the LEGO Winter Village theme? I mean, it is the thing we’ve blogged most about in the lifetime of this blog. Which is also probably why you might have been disappointed to see our Ultimate Lists of Holiday LEGO Sets
