My friend was lucky enough to be in the LEGO Store at the Pick-A-Brick wall (getting some parts for me ironically) and the staff asked him if he wanted to build the set for them. Luckily he said yes and even filmed it for me.

Before I continue please go and give @reganranada on Instagram (and thank him for filming it for me!): https://www.instagram.com/reganranada/

Watching the set being built, it looks amazing! I’m a big fan of this ship design and it’s a set I’ve always wanted (and now want even more!). Star Wars has always had a great variety of designs.

And if you didn’t realise, the Corellian Corvette is literally the first ship we ever saw (then you quickly forget it as the immense Star Destroyer dwarfs everything).

See my trains running at 15:00

And check out my latest LEGO City Trains video about the Hogwarts Express: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS0adkBJcGI

The LEGO engineers have been busy all over Studsburg adding new areas and details. And as always the Minifigure Brickizens of Studsburg are happily playing in their LEGO City!

I’ve pulled some of my LEGO Star Wars sets into the city for this update to celebrate Star Wars day with the minifgures. I’ve used a lot of my Star Wars minifigures (not all). The Millennium Falcon (75105) from the Force Awakens back in 2015 and still a brilliant set. I’ve also got the microfighters getting involved as everyone scrambles into the LEGO Store to check out the new Corellian Corvette Tantive IV (75244) set.

There’s a lot of Ninjago creeping into the city finally, and the Stormbringer dragon has paid the city a visit too – and crushed a taxi. Oops! And there’s a temple rising in the Ninjago district.

The Studsburg LEGO Train loop is finally up and running again too after heavy maintenance! Crossing the Ninjago City bridge into the train depot, you can check out some fabulous views of the trains crossing the bridge. Studsburg Central Station has also started construction.

And with that great news, the 2019 Passenger Train (60197), 2018 Hogwarts Express (75955), 2010 Passenger Train (7938) and the 2014 Cargo Train (60052) are all running at the end of this video, so be sure to check that out at minute 15:00.

LEGO Creator Expert and Unikitty Haul = Fairground play time? Join Joss and me (and a screaming baby) as I share a special memory of a trip we had to New York City when she was young! The Creator Expert set brings back some fond memories of her when she was younger. And we LOVE Unikitty in our house so come to the Unikingdom with us!

First up, an apology. I had not realised our baby was crying the loudly – I was in the zone (and my wife is with her). So that is why there is background music. And she’s teething if you’re wondering why she’s crying – poor nugget.

So we went to New York City 2 years ago when Joss was still only 2. In DUMBO – Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass – there is a spectacular old Carousel, called Jane’s Carousel. It’s was built in 1922 and was preserved under a glass roof and makes children very happy! We ended most of our days taking the kids on it! If you want to know more, you can read it here!

So that inspired me to get the LEGO Creator Expert Carousel (10257). It’s a beautiful LEGO set and really captured the magic of the Fairground for me. I’m hoping I can do something to make it look a little bit like Jane’s Carousel. Perhaps with a simple roof and some tiling. And I’ll probably rename it to Joss’ Carousel.

The other set in this haul is LEGO Unikitty: Unikingdom Fairground Fun (41456). This is a set that my wife insisted I get as our house really loves how much fun – and how crazy – the Unikitty cartoon is. And this set really captures that! But, when it goes into our LEGO City, Studsburg, it will be converted to be minifigure friendly with Unikitty and her Pals working in the park!

And, as you can tell, Joss was itching to get on with the next video which was building a LEGO Movie 2 set that she had picked out for herself!

Today I’m talking with Jakob from Brick Bakery. He has one of the most fabulous – that’s a word he would use – LEGO Channels on YouTube! I’ve been a fan of his for a long time and we both started our channels around the same time and have grown and supported each other over that time.

Check out his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/brickbakery

In this video series, we ask each other some hard-hitting, cut to the bone questions about LEGO, MOCs, Colours and more!

My questions for him are:

– what are your favourite brick, colour and line of LEGO?
– what is your fondest LEGO memory?
– when do you think the golden age of LEGO was and why?
– what are the ingredients to bake a great moc?
– if you could do one thing differently with LEGO what would it be?

As you can tell, my journalistic questioning skills are strong! But I hope you enjoy his answers! And don’t forget to scroll down the page and check out the BrickTuber group that BrickBakery is a member of!
