BRICKLINK LEGO HAUL – 1K BRICKS FOR CITY, TRAINS AND TREE MOCs. I went a little nuts on my parts orders recently and this is the most exciting 3 as they’ll help me start building trees and other MOCs. But, most importantly, another Hogwarts Express Upgrade I’ve been itching to make!

So yeah, these BrickLink LEGO orders come from all over the world, literally. The reason being – and I don’t fully understand why yet – is that I got more bricks, for less including shipping, from overseas. That may be due to some parts not being readily available in Australia and therefore being higher. But it seemed odd.

These orders come from:
Aussie Brickster https://store.bricklink.com/AussieBrickster
Mystery Mansion https://store.bricklink.com/MysteryMansion
AARHUS_BRICKS_DK (from Denmark) https://store.bricklink.com/mramoeba

I’m very happy with just how much value I got here! Now to get cracking on all of those planned LEGO MOCs!

P.S. You may notice a plaster appear on one of the fingers on my left hand part way through. This is why you need to be very, very careful with knives!

Thoughts and Ideas on LEGO Stranger Things: The Upside Down 75810. In this video I’m going to run through my thoughts on the previews of the Stranger Things set and also some ideas for integrating into a LEGO City!

This is a set the LEGO has teased for a while with Strange Things happening in their stores. We all suspected it was this and some images did leak early.

But now that the LEGO Stranger Things set has arrived, I wanted to give you my thoughts and opinions on the set as well as an idea that has been bubbling through my mind since they saw it.

In truth, I think the set is way to expensive for what it is. If it was less, then I have some ideas as to how it could be integrated into a LEGO City like mine. I’d like to think this is a unique and different way for the set to be used as it makes it both a display model and a fully function part of Studsburg, our LEGO City.

LEGO MOVIE 2 INTRODUCING QUEEN WATEVRA WA’NABI REVIEW (set 70824). This was a really fun set Joss picked out recently and we had so much fun playing with it, I just had to review it for you! But is it good or bad? Let’s find out.

You can watch our Happy Monday LEGO Build and play video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bK_d9yMUd0

This LEGO 2019 set comes in at a low 115 parts but somehow it feels worth it. I think because the parts selection is very broad and the minifigures are excellent and so well printed that might be part of the cost of the set.

You get Lucy, Susan and Sweet Mayhem in this set and all are really good quality. This is a good size set to get them in.

And one thing that really impresses is that for such a small set, everything is printed! Printed!

It is sort of a 2-in-1 LEGO Set too as it comes with parts to rebuild the queen into a pile of bricks. It’s a lot of fun!

But, I will say, it is not worth the RRP. But… Get it for 20% off and it’s worth it! And, kids LOVE it. Just watch Joss’ video and you can see how much she loved building and playing with it!

Like a lot of young kids, my daughter absolutely loves animals and LEGO. She cannot get enough of making it, but most importantly playing with it! Every opportunity my kids want to go into the LEGO room to play with one of the sets or dive into our LEGO City of Studsburg.

This LEGO Friends set is Mia’s Foal Stable (41361) which is perfect for Cali as an already accomplished LEGO Master Builder (she love playing with LEGO). But, it features horses which is something she absolutely loves to make with her Duplo! She has such a beautiful, creative imagination already and just loves role playing with her toys.

Join us as we build and play with this great little play set! The is an unboxing and speed in HD so you can freeze it at any point if you want to see any of the detail. Cali, as you can tell, was very happy to be playing with this set and building LEGO with her Daddy!

HAPPY MONDAY LEGO SET BUILD AND PLAY! LEGO Movie 2 – Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi (70824)! Joss picked this set to build. Join us and meet the awesome Banarnar, but be quick because she has to show her mum first! And she now does the channel intro better than me!

I took the girls shopping with me and let them both pick out a set. This is the one that Joss choose out of everything. Now, I will confess I was not too impressed at first with this set, but after building it – and seeing just how happy it made her – I have changed my mind!

We had a blast building and playing with this set! She’s such a delight and does so much herself without me now. I help with picking the LEGO Bricks out and the occasional slightly confusing bit in the manual but otherwise, she’s getting quite advanced!

Thank you LEGO! You make us so happy!

From the Official Description:
Join Lucy and meet the shape-shifting Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi for the first time with THE LEGO® MOVIE 2™ 70824 Introducing Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi toy building set.

This fun-packed building toy features a brick-built Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi in horse form with a rotating platform, plus 4 interchangeable face expression decorations for when you rebuild the shape-shifting queen into pile-of-bricks form.

This THE LEGO MOVIE 2 set also includes a buildable Banarnar character, Sweet Mayhem and Susan mini-dolls, and a Lucy minifigure.
