Honestly, I picked this set up as a lark. I wasn’t so much drawn to any of the elements or colors as I was to the chunky tank that is practically a cube. Continue reading 72006 Axl’s Rolling Arsenal

41335 Mia’s Tree House
The Friends theme has been a reliable source of unusual colors and new elements for years, but this year seems especially good. In my constant quest for cool elements and good draft sets, I stumbled upon 41335 Mia’s Tree House. This is a good one! Continue reading 41335 Mia’s Tree House
76100 Royal Talon Fighter Attack
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
21140 The Chicken Coop
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
21310 The Old Fishing Store
I first saw rumored images of this set, I was smitten. It seemed almost too good to be true, as official sets rarely have that kind of haphazard complexity. Unfortunately for me, everyone else was in love too and it took me a bit to get my hands on the set after it came out. Continue reading 21310 The Old Fishing Store
70615 Fire Mech
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
40262 Christmas Train Ride
It’s hard for me to resist the seasonal sets that LEGO® puts out. Though I’m not much of a Christmas celebrator myself, I couldn’t pass up the pair of vignettes that they released for the holiday. This week, we’ll tear into the first one (based on set number): 40262 Christmas Train Ride. Continue reading 40262 Christmas Train Ride
41486 Captain Phasma
I’ve been a bit conflicted about the BrickHeadz line and they seem to be rather polarizing in the AFOL community. Some of their designs really work for me, I fell in love with this Captain Phasma model the moment I saw it. Then it was just a matter of getting my hands on the set and seeing if it lived up to the pictures. Continue reading 41486 Captain Phasma
40261 Thanksgiving Harvest
I was at my local LEGO® store this last weekend for a birthday party and I spied stacks of seasonal sets. I’d already missed the Halloween set, so I wasn’t going to leave without at least one of each. Lets start out with this years Thanksgiving set.
70620 Ninjago City (part 3: The High-Rise)
Only a few bags of elements remain. The two layers of Ninjago City that I’ve already built (The Old World & The Street) are already a massive structure with a plethora of colors and details. It was time to dig in and build out the final heights! Continue reading 70620 Ninjago City (part 3: The High-Rise)
