Mall update #17: It's SO fluffy!!


Here's the first shot of the stuffed animal shoppe in my growing LEGO mall.  When this pic was snapped, I was still very uncertain of how to build the front corners of this second floor, above the main entrance.  I've since filled that in and barely squeezed in a checkout desk & register.  I've also added a few more patrons.  You'll see it all when it's all done :)

Today's three new videos have no specific theme, other than LEGO itself


Let's see, we have one classic LEGO Town set review, one (2-in-1) Bricklink haul, and one thumbing through of an old LEGO catalog.  Pretty random, I know.  Oh well!  Back to working on my mall I go ;)

Two new LEGO MOCs, military & Minecraft!


With the release of Minecraft for the Xbox One finally around the corner (and with the great news that saves from the Xbox360 can be ported over) I've been inspired to begin work on the mysterious, dark, empty far corner of my all-custom LEGO city.  It's going to be a fully minifig-scaled Minecraft-themed area including a large hillside!  I've now done my very first little pieces of it, with many more to come.


Also over the weekend, I got inspired to make some new stuff for my Planetary Defense Force.  More coming on that front as well!


As always, updates to my mall/city/anything are posted when there are updates.  No updates are posted when there are no updates.  When there are no updates posted, it's because there are no updates.

Mall update #16: Time to get Pumped!


Next to the cupcake vendor is the single smallest shop in my mall, a miniature faux-GNC shop with vitamins & supplements on the side nearest the bottom of the shot, protein powders & such opposite.

Small, very small.

Video of all, when all is done.

FAQ: How I deal with DUST on LEGO layouts


It has been awhile since I last did an instructional video on my brick-related channel, and I plan to do more of these in the future.  I hope it's useful!

Mall construction update #15: CUPCAKES!


This may seem odd, but this is the vendor I've been looking forward to building more than any other, since long before I laid the first brick of this mall.  Does anyone remember when I got my first cupcake girl minifig?  Not the recent one.  I'm talking months & months ago.  When I made that order, that is when inspiration for this little thing struck.

Weird.  Word.

Repeat-o-disclaimer:  Video will be done, when the mall is done.

Nine more LEGO classic space & town set reviews!


You awesome blog viewers get to be the first to see all of these just-released new videos!  I'm working overtime here, keeping things interesting while getting ready for the new Summer 2014 sets!  Please enjoy!

Best-Lock Terminator construction playset review!


I didn't think I'd try another Best-Lock product after the first disaster, but this thing here was just so inexpensive, and the idea of minifig T-800 Terminators is so cool!  I had to give it a shot.  This set was $35 when I bought it, but I now see that Toys R Us has it on clearance for $15 (!!).  Fingers crossed!  Check it out...

LEGO city #2 and classic space layouts updated


My two newest brick-based layouts have been updated recently, so here are their updates!

My main custom city has not been updated, therefore there is no update for it.  The next update for that one will be posted the next time that one is updated.  When nothing is updated, no updates will be posted.  Wait, have I said that before? :)
