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)
70620 Ninjago City (part 2: The Street)
The lowest level of 70620 Ninjago City behind me, it’s time to get started on The Street. This set is already shaping up to be one of my all time favorites, with a great mix of elements, techniques, and minifigs. I’ve barely even gotten into the good stuff yet!

70620 Ninjago City (part 1: The Old World)
My set buying is mostly focused on interesting elements and I’d often prefer to buy a bunch of small sets. This wave of Ninjago Movie sets has me building sets just for display and the cream of the crop is the massive 70620 Ninjago City. I cleared out my VIP point balance and ordered one as soon as I could. Continue reading 70620 Ninjago City (part 1: The Old World)
70608 Master Falls
I’m always on the lookout for good draft sets and the LEGO® Ninjago movies sets have a lot to choose from. This set caught my eye with the great selection of colors and elements. Also, the bare-chested jungle Garmadon is too good to pass up! Continue reading 70608 Master Falls
70612 Green Ninja Mech Dragon
The Ninjago theme has a great track record for mechs and dragons. Combine those things with some great colors and you have a very enticing set. How could I pass up all that sand green and a great selection of minifigs? Continue reading 70612 Green Ninja Mech Dragon
70618 Destiny’s Bounty
The LEGO Ninjago movie is just around the corner and wave of awesome sets has been released. Since it was my birthday last week, I decided to treat myself to one of the largest, 70618 Destiny’s Bounty. Continue reading 70618 Destiny’s Bounty
41188 Breakout from the Goblin King’s Fortress
The Elves theme continues to impress, with each season bringing new dragons and so much daring use of color. This latest wave gives us this amazing spring yellowish-green castle. How was I ever going to pass this one up? Continue reading 41188 Breakout from the Goblin King’s Fortress
