LEGO Batman Movie Ultimate Batmobile build & review videos 70917
This thing is serious, and seriously silly, a 3-hour semi-advanced build packed with brick-built details, angled & sideways building, and nice parts usage.

Vintage LEGO Rocket Base 358 from 1973 reviewed
Happy Flashback Friday or belated Throwback Thursday :) One insignificant piece in this set is a bit too new and a few are a bit too old (all direct & close substitutions), but overall it's a pretty faithfully preserved piece of history from before the dawn of the minifig era.
LEGO Star Wars 2017 Republic Fighter Tank build & review - 75182
It begins. I don't live in the UK, so I wasn't able to get all of the first summer wave sets starting the week before last. I also don't live on the southeast seaboard of the US, so I wasn't able to start loading up on them last weekend. Where I live, things are often slow to appear on shelves, but I get what I can, when I can, to bring you timely new content as quickly as I can. The big, big release hasn't hit yet for me, but the very tip of the iceberg is upon us.

Looking back at recent work
I believe it was February when I announced that I would significantly throttle back on reviews and divert attention towards New Jang City and custom MOCs. Said diversion was a success, but now the next major LEGO release & set review season is about to begin, so let's take a look back at what I was able to accomplish during the break.

The Little Engine That Could in LEGO
I had a reprint of the original version of The Little Engine That Could when I was probably 3 years old, but I completely forgot about it as an adult! I've been on the lookout for a good opportunity to make a tank engine style steam loco, and somehow this thing happened out of the (medium) blue. It runs very well, but my depletion of parts for the Blauhaus Building forced a bunch of aesthetic compromises. Most importantly, the boiler should be a bit taller and it should have a more consistent cross-section. Perhaps eventually, once I have more parts, I'll revisit this, but for now, I must consider it a very successful and happy little project!

Update to the underwater layout beneath New JANG City
Good times! I couldn't bring myself to part with the Silent Mary, finding it oddly intoxicating to look at on display, almost beautiful in its wretched ugliness. Thankfully I've found a great place to keep it long-term where it integrates sensibly into my existing LEGO world.
Finally, a red LEGO Rail Rider
Red had to happen, and I wanted purple to happen in some capacity as well, so I went ahead & killed two birds with one stone. (Disclaimer: No actual birds were harmed in the making of this video.)
LEGO Star Wars Imperial Speeder Bike from 2009! polybag 30005
This was my lone out-of-production set review of the week, and though the thing is quite tiny, it's not half bad.
May 2017 LEGO Dimensions releases reviewed
Fan interest in LEGO Dimensions continues to taper down towards nothingness, but some of the remaining minifigs & mini-builds are cool to check out regardless. Many also make me think, "Who'da thunk?"
