I finally tried the #LEGO Pick A Brick boxes and I love them! Now, about all the old cups I have…

June 22, 2024 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: < 1 minute

LEGO swapped over to boxes for the Pick A Brick wall a while ago, but I haven’t purchased anything for a while because, tbh, the selection was a bit crap.

So last time I went, I was pleasantly surprised to find the a good selection!

The Pick A Brick boxes worked well lets you cram a lot of the bigger pieces in with the bonus that the cardboard has a little give meaning you can cram more in and the staff were generous in tapping it up too!

LEGO City Yellow Delivery Truck review! Set 60440 is big, yellow, and pricey but is it good value?

June 7, 2024 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 2 minutes

This is my detailed review of the LEGO Delivery Truck set 60440. The is the spiritual successor to set #3221: LEGO City Truck from 2010.

And what a difference those 14 years make! The difference in the techniques and quality of the set are nothing but impressive! In the LEGO City 60440 Yellow Delivery Truck there are hints of the Speed Champions techniques during the build. But is this set worth that much more than it’s predecessor?

But is this set worth that much more? Lets have a look at the new LEGO Delivery Truck 60440! Hint: This set is more than twice the size of the old one. I just question if this is a City set or a Collectors set. What do you think?

This is my review of LEGO City set 60421: Robot World Roller Coaster Park and arcade set. This set was released in June 2024 and comes in with 986parts and a weight of 1.6kg.

It represents great value and a raft of play features and details. You also get 8 minifigures (I mistakenly said 7 in the video). And my favourite part: An Exo-Force inspired mech!!!
