LEGO BIRTHDAY HAUL! THEY DIDN’T LISTEN! So yeah, it’s my birthday already. It seems like just a year ago I was in the London LEGO Store. Wait… It was. So I told my family not to get me LEGO. Did they listen?

Well, my wife did and got me practical things I need. My kids, on the other hand, would only settle for LEGO! I cannot complain as I love them dearly as they already know me so well!

The first set is kind of funny as I’m from London and that is the mini LEGO LONDON BUS – 40220. What a fun little set! I’m going to be saving that for a Marvellous Monday Mini Build.

Next up is one from my childhood. A Show I loved, had the game on My Atari ST and I will be hunting for it on my online services to introduce my kids to it. And that is of course, the new LEGO Ideas Flinstones (set 21316). What a beauty! And shows just how well my family knows me! That will be finding a home in the new Studsburg Residential area which you can see in this LEGO City Update video:

This is a smaller LEGO creator set, but that doesn’t make it a mighty build. I picked this set up for $9 at my local Kmart and I think that is a bargain for what the set includes.

It does remind me of the ships from the movie Oblivion. It’s one I’ve had my eye on for a while so this is the perfect venue for this great little LEGO Creator set!

Join me as I build this sub $15 LEGO Set and talk you through some of the history and thoughts I have on this set.

LEGO CITY UPDATE 12: A New LEGO Train and a Theme Park! This update shows the market appearing, The LEGO Train depot getting busy. A theme park has risen. And SigFigs blowing things up. Wait, what?

The biggest change in this video is the addition of the raised area for the theme park which I’m really happy about.

I’ve swapped the cargo yard around and think it kicks butt now! The change was made to make it more interesting but also so you can see into the sheds when I add them.

My residential area is coming along too with lots of new buildings and I’ve started figuring out the roads too. A brick built road is definitely the way to go there! Now to try and get some tiles before Dr McBrick orders them all!

And let’s not forget the minifigures of our LEGO City are up to many whacky things as always. It never ceases to amaze me how much bricking around they can do!

Let’s Build! LEGO Movie 2 Emmet’s Dream House! 70831. This is one of my favourite sets from the movie line up and I’ve been itching to get my hands on it. This version of the set will be placed in our LEGO City. Full Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcuZcJQ48vE

One of the things that really attracted me to this set was how Classic LEGO it felt. That design reminds me of so many classic LEGO house builds.

This whole set is oozing with fun and detail and the LEGO Designers have managed to make the build really fun and not at all repetitive.

It took me about 90 minutes beginning to end. I will say that the “junk” element was a little less exciting than I’d expected.

LEGO Movie 2 Emmet’s Dream House & Rescue Rocket (70831) – Good or Bad? This is my favourite set from the LEGO Movie 2 lineup. This is a review of both sets and overall thoughts on the finished builds. And be sure to check out the build videos.

This is an unboxing and review of this LEGO Movie 2 “2 in 1” set. I’ll run through both of the builds (linked below) and tell you my final thoughts as well as showing you the rather unique box and it’s contents.

Both builds are great and I love the nod back to the 80s style brick built house from the old LEGO City and Ideas books.

My least favourite part was re-building the rocket into the house as you’ve got to keep the parts organised. That, and I wasn’t blown away by the “scrap” build”

Watch to the end to get my final thoughts and review of this great set (Spoiler).
