My son and I are fans of Minecraft. We play the game together regularly and we both enjoy the sets that LEGO® has been producing. When I saw that they were releasing buildable characters in an action figure size, I knew that I had to get my hands on some.

I don’t normally buy bad guy sets in the Nexo-Knights theme. I tend to be a magpie, drawn to bright colors, and their villains use drab color schemes. At the last PortLUG meeting, someone had this set and put a worm in my ear about a possible draft. So I decided to give it a try. Continue reading 72003 Berserker Bomber
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
It’s barely February, but LEGO® seasonal sets wait for no one. I was in my FLLBS (friendly local LEGO brand store) over the weekend and picked up the next of this year’s seasonal Brickheadz. Let’s check it out. Continue reading 40271 Bunny
For the last few years, LEGO® has alternated their seasonal sets between vignettes and animals. This year I was all set to be disappointed by another round of animal models, but they switched it up and now there is a whole slate of seasonal BrickHeadz. How could I pass up on that?

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
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
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 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
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
