I’ve never been much of a super hero fan and I tend to give the LEGO® themes only a passing glance. Then again I’ve been really excited about the upcoming Black Panther movie, so I decided to check out one of the sets. Continue reading 76100 Royal Talon Fighter Attack

BrickHeadz® are a perfect medium for SD mecha like this Gundam by Lego-eunsang.
The Minecraft theme is strange. Most AFOLs really could care less for it, yet it is one of the longest running (non-evergreen) themes. Five years of sets and it took this long to introduce the humble chicken. Continue reading 21140 The Chicken Coop

I dig a cool mech that looks like construction equipment, like this one by oOger.
Brickmonsta did a great job on this mecha.
I love seeing futuristic trains. tankm tapped some of that unexplored territory.
Sometimes I want to build something different, something that I have no idea how to start. I got it in my head recently to build a scene that involves a couple of vehicles. I don’t even know where to start when it comes to building cars, I’ve never done it. Luckily I had a resource for showing me how to build just what I needed: YouTube.

The LEGO® Ninjago movie was a windfall for fans of LEGO mecha. Nearly every set included a mech or mech-like vehicle. One of the largest of those is Kai’s 70615 Fire Mech. When an opportunity came to build one and review it, I had to say yes! Continue reading 70615 Fire Mech

I love these Kamen Rider figures by Moko.
I really like Benjamin Cheh Ming Hann‘s work on this massive red mech.

Most of that knowledge came from passive osmosis of ideas that comes from going to shows and crawling the internet, but the best ideas have come from communicating directly with other builders, and for that reason I am going to start holding workshops here at Brick Root HQ.
