I don’t buy many car models, and to be lately I haven’t been building many sets at all. This adorable model caught my eye immediately though. I love little cars of the sorts that generally don’t exist in the world anymore, and if the cute car wasn’t enough, they released it in cool yellow!

For the second year in a row, LEGO® has used BrickHeadz® for all of their seasonal sets. I like both of those things, so it is no big surprise that I’ve been buying them when I can.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and this year’s set is an adorable BrickHeadz puppy. This is definitely closer in theme than the 40270 Valentine’s Bee from last year. I just couldn’t resist his derpy tongue!

I was really excited to see that LEGO decided to use BrickHeadz for their seasonal sets again in 2019. I was even more excited to see that one of their Chinese New Year sets would be available in the United States, for the first time! I had to get my hands on that!

I joined Instagram last year. One of the first amazing LEGO accounts that I discovered was @jeff_works. Jeff’s beautiful microscale cities are mesmerizing. When I heard a few months ago that he was releasing a book oh his designs, I knew that I had to get my hands on it. Lucky for me, No Starch Press was willing to send me a copy for review.

I’m not much of a Christmas guy. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not the Grinch. I like a lot of the trappings of the holiday, but I’ve spent too many years of my life working retail to not be turned off by the craziness of it all. One of the things I do like is the tree, and you can’t have a Christmas tree without ornaments! Continue reading The LEGO Christmas Ornaments Book 2
Last year I bought my son the Boost Creative Toolbox for his birthday. He really enjoyed it, but kind of lost interest after a bit. Once he’d gone through the official builds, he didn’t know what to do. I’ve never motorized anything LEGO®, so I wasn’t much help. Luckily, The LEGO Boost Idea Book is here to help.
