LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters Review (75827)

LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters Unboxing, Speed Build and Review (75827). This is a set I’ve wanted since the day it was announced, and I was lucky enough to get one in a crazy deal. This is my Unboxing, Speed Build and Review of the LEGO Ghostbusters set.

This set was released way back in 2016 and has been available for 2 years. Unfortunately, LEGO recently retired the set so the last few sets have been flying off the shelves – at least here in Australia where you can’t get it for RRP anymore.

It comes in at a whopping 4,634 parts and it certainly feels like it’s that big from the very beginning. Unboxing it, the bags just keep going, and going! Which is awesome! The bang for your buck here is amazing!

Including 10 minifigures as well – all exclusive to this set – it is immense! And I’m pleased to report I finally have a driver for the cab that came with my LEGO Spider-Man: Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge (76057).

The build is amazing and full Kudos to the LEGO designers for making this a really fun, broken up build! There’s a lot of stuff that could have been repetitive but was broken up well!

Let me know what you think of this set in the comments and don’t forget to like it!

LEGO City MOC Tutorial: Scaffolding

Reading Time: 3 minutes

LEGO City MOC Tutorial: Scaffolding! One thing I really love and am focused on is adding lots of little details and activities to my LEGO City. This LEGO MOC I’ve created is something that does just that, and several of my channel subscribers asked for a LEGOS tutorial, so here it is.

First up, here’s a link to the parts list for this LEGO MOC that you can download and import to a wishlist in Bricklink:
http://bit.ly/2G4FJ9S

Make sure you select upload BrickLink XML as the type. It contains all of the parts you need to complete this tutorial with the version of this LEGO City MOC that has wheels.

If you want to see this LEGO MOC in the city, here’s a link to the LEGO City Update video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oonlxp38pjY

And also the Instagram photo of the MOC:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BtDgO9HnHii/

The build itself of this LEGO City MOC is constructed around 2 decks that are 2×6 LEGO Plates and 2 of the LEGO Ladder pieces. They are then connected with a diagonal cross member.

Now, one confession. The crossbar I have used actually came from a Ninjago set which is why it has the angled claw ends. The reason I used it for this LEGO MOC was that it fit perfectly across the width, but you can also use straight clips if you prefer.

Let me know if you find this LEGO How-To video easy to follow and I’d love to see it in your city. I’d also like to hear any suggestions for other mocs to work on. And don’t forget to like this LEGO MOC Video!!

The short answer is that I did listen to what you said in the last LEGO City Update.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqoh8T7l0OE

But I didn’t do everything you suggested with my LEGOS. I did something better to improve it I think. Stay with me dear viewer for a look through the logic that goes on in my head

The first big change in this LEGO City update was moving the Firehouse Headquarters – 75827 Ghostbusters building to the top level. I then moved two of the modulars next to it and move the LEGO Assembly Square 10255 along and used the half board to give me a 16×32 corridor which I moved the LEGO Brand Store 40305 into.

Other bits were moved around too and work has begun clearing a space for the Brick Bank 10251 to be built in which will progress over the next few LEGO City Update videos.

On the lower deck, the LEGO Train yard got a slight re-arrange and the roads are now mostly in place in a temporary form. I’ve also started work on a train repair depot LEGO MOC.

LEGO City Construction Loader #Review! Good or Bad? (60219)

January 26, 2019 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 2 minutes

LEGO CITY CONSTRUCTION LOADER 60219 – UNBOXING, SPEED BUILD & REVIEW! Part of the new 2019 line up, this is one of the smaller sets but does it pack a big punch in the LEGO 2019 lineup?

I will confess that the LEGO City of Studsburg is light on construction equipment currently. I’m working to resolve this and with sets like this construction loader LEGO set 60219 coming in at the budget end, LEGO is making it easier for me!

This is based on the Bobcat style of construction vehicle you see on many building sites now. Known for its ease of use, manoeuvrability and all-out fun, it was a good choice for LEGO to make!

In this video, I’ve started by unboxing the set to show you the new packaging and contents of this LEGOS set.

Then I’ve created a stop motion speed build of it to show how all the LEGO parts come together. I’ve also had some fun doing it so I hope you enjoy it!

And then finally, my thoughts on this delightful budget value LEGO set.

Let me know what you think along with suggestions when you’ve finished watching the video and don’t forget to like it!
