70161 Tremor Track Infiltration
I haven’t been buying many sets lately, but this is one that I’ve had my eye on for a while. Who wouldn’t love a tank with big punching fists driven by an armored strong-man. I was given a copy the other night in return for participating in a display at a local library and it seemed like a perfect time to review a new set.

Two More Cups
Usually, I restrain myself to a single Pick-A-Brick cup a month. The pieces that I’m buying are often speculative, so even one cup is a bit of an indulgence. This month, I’ve been building Arcology modules and finding myself woefully low on basic bricks. It helps too, that the wall has had a lot of great elements in it lately, enough to send me back for more.

Waka’s Robot Factory
I follow a number of builders on flickr and my feed is full of mecha, space, and microscale builds. As I’ve mentioned before, I am drawn to Lego mecha and I follow a number of Japanese builders on flickr, just for their intricate mecha models. One of those builders, Tomoyuki Wakata (legorobo:waka) has just released a lovely how-to book for building Lego mecha
