  • Ep. 51 - The Brick Break-up: When Lego Themes Need to Say Goodbye
    Feb 12 2025

    Welcome, fellow brick enthusiasts, to an episode that dares to tackle a potential controversial question in the Lego universe: When is it time for a Lego theme to bite the dust? Let’s face it—over the years, Lego has graced us with nearly 200 different themes. Some have become timeless classics, while others... well, let’s just say they’re the building equivalent of leaving a brick on the floor in the dark.

    In today’s episode, I’m diving headfirst into this delicate (but oh-so-fun) topic. I’ll be dissecting the current lineup of 35 Lego themes available to us in 2025. And here’s where it gets spicy: I’m calling out four themes that, in my humble but entirely correct opinion, should gracefully bow out and retire to the great Lego bin in the sky. Yup, it’s time to Marie Kondo this lineup and ask, “Does this theme still spark joy?”

    But don’t worry—it’s not all doom and gloom! I’m also pitching four brand-new themes that I think deserve a shot at Lego stardom. What could these be? Well, let’s just say my picks are bold, fun, and 100% subjective. It’s time to unleash some creativity and give the Lego lineup a much-needed refresh.

    So, grab your favorite building set, pour yourself a mug of coffee (or something stronger if your favorite theme might make my cut list), and join me as we take a deep dive into the world of Lego themes. Whether you agree, disagree, or just want to laugh at my wildly biased takes, this episode is going to be a blast! Thanks for tuning in!

  • Ep. 50 - Dinos, Pirates, and a Mystery ICONS Car—Oh My! - 2-10-25 - News & Rumors
    Feb 10 2025

    Welcome back, brickheads, to an episode so packed with Lego news that even a UCS Millennium Falcon would struggle to contain it! First, we’re breaking down the results of the Bricklink Designer Series 4. Did you buy the coveted sets you wanted, or are you crying into your pile of extra 1x2 plates? And hey, I warned you in previous episodes—hope you listened to my sage Lego wisdom!

    Next, prepare yourselves for some epic reveals as I cover the latest Transformers and Jurassic World sets. Yes, the dinos are back, and they’re bigger, badder, and more brick-tastic (and brick built) than ever. Seriously, these might make your current Lego T-Rex look like a baby raptor.

    Oh, but it doesn’t stop there. Let’s talk about the brand-new One Piece theme sailing into Lego waters in 2025. Did you guess there’d be a set with over 3,000 pieces? If so, congratulations, you’re officially smarter than me—and probably have a stronger table for building, too.

    And what about the Disney Castle? It’s saying its goodbyes, I have the scoop on what is taking its throne? Plus, we’re speculating about the mysterious new ICONS car for this year. Spoiler: it’s probably not a Prius, but if rumors are to be believed - it may be close but even cooler!

    Finally, as an added treat (or maybe a warning), I’ll give you a sneak peek at Wednesday’s episode, where I might just dive into some controversial Lego opinions that might get your blood boiling. So buckle up—it’s going to be a wild ride.

    Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to grab your favorite snack brick (aka popcorn) before hitting play.

  • Ep. 49 - The Set that Refused to Retire - The Death Star - Full Review
    Feb 5 2025

    In this episode, we’re diving deep into one of the most legendary and hotly debated sets in the entire Lego Star Wars UCS lineup: set #10188, The Death Star. Originally released in September 2008, this colossal set stood as a centerpiece for Lego collectors and Star Wars fans alike—and it remained on store shelves for what felt like an eternity. Seriously, an eternity.

    But what makes The Death Star so iconic? Is it the sheer size? The endless play features? Or maybe the controversy surrounding its prolonged availability and impact on collectors’ investments? Whether you’re here for an entertaining Lego collecting tale, or you want to avoid the pitfalls of impulse-buying massive Lego sets, this is the episode for you. Trust me—your wallet might thank you after this one!

    Stick around until the very end, where I’ll share my final verdict on this set: does it deserve to be considered one of the greatest Lego sets of all time, or did it hang around longer than it should have? You won’t want to miss it.

    As always, thanks for tuning in, and may the bricks be with you!
