C’est ne pas un LEGO
The LEGO store gave this out to us VIPs as a gift after spending a certain amount, I can’t remember how much. This set which creates a model of the core 2 x 4 brick (it doesn’t work like one … Continue reading
My contribution to this year’s Teddy Bear toss
One upside to having all those Pinballz points is that I often have enough to score a toy for the Stars’ charity thingy. Last year it was Rick & Morty, this time I figured a kid would love to have … Continue reading
LEGO® devours Brick Link
I don’t think this is going to be a merger of equals and I remain skeptical about how it will work out. Brick Link has been the place for LEGO Master Builders and casual builders (like me) to get pieces or … Continue reading

Surfing! Surfing!! SURFING!!!
A really funny and cool customized minifig I scored from the UK. I had to get it because Benny was one of the best supporting characters in the LEGO movies. Despite how amusing he can be via Charlie Day, I … Continue reading

A friend at work who knew how much I love LEGOs scored this hilarious Chinese knockoff as a prize to give me. As the picture above shows, I don’t think the pirates behind it were even trying! I’m guessing they’re … Continue reading

According the LEGO Store, that’s me
Now, when you go to a physical LEGO Store there is a special kiosk in which you place down your palm and it will tell you which minifigure you are. I was really hoping for Benny, Lucy or the Pizza … Continue reading
