LEGO City Train Shell Tanker Wagon 7813 rebuiltReading Time: 2 minutes

I’ve uploaded a new time-lapse video of one of my classic LEGO Train sets from 1986. It’s the LEGO City Shell Tanker Wagon 7813 from 1986 – a time when LEGO sold a lot of single add-on carriages and sets (hint… hint…).

Every LEGO City needs a Town square. It’s where the LEGO people get stuff done, meet friends and generally gather. So why not make it a beautiful classical French Town Square Hall? [Read more…] about French Town Square Hall by Flickr user Jean Macou

MOW Magnet Swing Crane | by LEGO LucasReading Time: 2 minutes

I love trains! And I especially those of the LEGO Train variety. Having just received the LEGO Cargo Train for my birthday, I’ve been researching the cool stuff people have been making for their train sets. This was one that made me remember two of my old train sets. [Read more…] about LEGO City Train Magnet Swing Crane by Flickr user LEGO Lucas

LEGO City Airport Cargo Plane Review 60101

March 30, 2018 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 4 minutes

I’d had my eye on the LEGO City Airport Cargo Plane for a while, and finally bought it. And I can say hands down, that I’m so glad I did! It’s not a big set, but it made a mark on me, and I wish I’d gotten it sooner.  [Read more…] about LEGO City Airport Cargo Plane Review 60101

LEGO City Heavy Cargo Transport 60183 Review

March 26, 2018 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

LEGO City Heavy Cargo Transport 60183 truck on a narrow pathReading Time: 9 minutes

The LEGO City theme has nearly always been reliable in delivering good looking trucks. I can remember all the way back to Construction Truck (6652), Highway Maintenance Truck (6653) and Tractor Trailer (6692). So you could say I have a lot of love and fond memories of these vehicles so the LEGO Heavy Cargo Truck was a must for me the day I saw it! And after we built the set, we had some fun in the snow testing it’s capabilities! You can can check out the shots in my Battling Through the Snow post.

Time Lapse build of the LEGO City Cargo Plane

LEGO Airport Cargo Plane 60101 Casual CaptainReading Time: < 1 minute

I love putting these videos together as I build LEGO sets. But it does mean I usually have to build the model twice. Once to enjoy the build and do the review and a second time to do the time lapse. This one was a smaller LEGO City plane 60101. [Read more…] about Time Lapse build of the LEGO City Cargo Plane

Quick build of the Creator Propeller Adventures 7292 set

March 23, 2018 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

LEGO Creator Propeller Adventures 7292Reading Time: 2 minutes

I wanted to share a quick afternoon LEGO Creator build I did with my eldest who really wanted to build something with me. This ended up being really enjoyable little plane build, which is creator set 7292. It features working propellers, landing gear with a clever little ‘locking’ system and simple but effective swivelling rear wheel.

LEGO Speed Champions Porsche 919 Hybrid Review

March 21, 2018 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

LEGO Speed Champions 2018 Porsche 919 Hybrid 75887 Cool hotReading Time: 9 minutes

Welcome to my final review of the early 2018 Lego Speed Champions individual sets. Last and by no means least, we have the Porsche 919 hybrid. This is actually the second time it’s been featured, and was originally in the Porsche 919 Hybrid and 917K Pit Lane 75887 set that was released in 2016.

I went into this review with conflicted feelings. The last set I review was the Ford Mustang which was an exceptional set. Before that the Fiesta and Ferrari 488 GT3 were my first forays into Speed Champions land. Every one has been better than I expected or ever hoped so this has a lot to live up to, not least because it’s a slightly awkward looking car in the first place imo. So, I’m pleased to say that the Porsche 919 Hybrid has not disappointed me! So read on. [Read more…] about LEGO Speed Champions Porsche 919 Hybrid Review
