2014 LEGO Creator sets reviewed: Emerald Express & Power Digger


It's not often that I buy from the Creator line and even less frequent that I get any LEGO set that's not minifig-scale, but these made for easy impulse buys, so I figured I'd share them with y'all.


Santa, Christmas presents, zombies, and guns?!


It was another productive day today with five new videos published across a comically wide range of topics!



Separate from all this, I bought or received seven more sets just today, and I have a little surprise to share soon regarding an almost frighteningly large haul that arrived earlier in the week.  Stay tuned!

LEGO City 2014 Light Repair Truck set 60054 reviewed!


The 2014 release season continues with another small City set hitting the market!

LEGO Creator Christmas Tree Truck holiday exclusive set 40083 review!


At last, the pair is complete.  This is the complement to the 40082 tree stand set I reviewed in October.  Free this month with qualifying purchase directly from LEGO!

Two more older Mega Bloks Halo set videos


In October I went on a crazy building & video-recording spree with Mega Bloks Halo sets to try to get myself up to date with a lot of what I had missed.  Here we are in December and I still have a bunch more of these left to publish, and I'm still getting more sets!

The MOC process: Zoo starts to become Real! (step 4)


I've felt like progress on this zoo has been absolutely painfully slow, but now when I compare what it looks like today to the last update video, I feel much better.  Things are starting to become real!  There's still a ton of further work to be done before even the major shapes & structures are all in place, but it's on the right track!

My LEGO parts tour, Part 6


One more of these down and probably four or five more to go yet!

LEGO December 1st set releases are official

The long-anticipated December 1st releases from LEGO are now live in the official LEGO Shops (stores and online), in addition to most of the sets being at Target (stores) and Toys R Us (stores and online site).  Sadly, the only thing in the top-selling City line that I you haven't already seen me review is the new Light Repair Truck.  No new Chima sets yet, no new Hero Factory, just the stuff I've already done from City & Ninjago plus the handful of new Hobbit/Smaug sets.

Back to the waiting game we go.  If past years are any indication of what's to come, we'll be seeing the next big drop of sets in brick-and-mortar LEGO stores just days before Christmas, while the official website likely won't release the new sets until the 29th when the LEGO Movie sets are finally put out for sale.

Happy Flashback Friday! TWO vintage LEGO sets!


I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!  Since it's a double-long weekend I figured I'd double up on Flashback Friday with two old set videos for you all!  Anybody like either horses or space? How about both?


I have a bunch of these things already filmed, so I should be able to continue these regular trips down history lane for many months to come.
