If you love LEGO Architecture, then trust me, you’re in for a big one. And by big, I mean castle-sized big.

    Do you have a soft spot for iconic castles? Are you obsessed with Disney?

This rumored LEGO masterpiece is going to make history buffs swoon and accountants everywhere shake their heads in financial despair.

    But wait—there’s more! Another legendary set is rumored to be sailing back onto LEGO shelves, and let’s just say… it's big, it’s collectible, and if Johnny Depp had a LEGO wishlist, this would be at the top. Set your compass to adventure, because this is one return you won’t want to miss.

    And just when you thought your wallet was safe, I’m diving into a mind-boggling list of upcoming LEGO Icons sets for 2025. Let’s just say, you might want to start saving now. Or selling off unnecessary belongings. Or considering a side hustle in LEGO brick reselling.

  • 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.

    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!

  • Ep. 46 - The Next HUGE Ninjago Set Is... 1/27/25 - News & Rumors
    Jan 27 2025

    Get ready to have your brick-loving mind blown because in today’s episode, we’re diving into some wild news and tantalizing rumors for 2025 that you need to hear about. First up, anime fans, this one’s for you: Do you love One Piece? Are you hyped for Season 2 on Netflix? Have you ever sat there, watching Luffy and the crew, thinking, “You know what this show needs? Tiny, plastic bricks that I can step on at 3 a.m.”? Well, your oddly specific wish is granted because Lego and One Piece are teaming up! We’re breaking down everything you need to know about this dream collab. Spoiler alert: You might end up yelling “Gomu Gomu noooo way!”

    But wait, there’s more! If you’re a Ninjago fan (and if you’re not, we’re judging you just a little), you’re in for a treat. Picture the biggest, baddest, most bananas Ninjago set you can imagine. Now shrink it down a little bit, and that’s what’s dropping on March 1st. Seriously, this set is such a good value it should come with a warning label: “May cause excessive drooling and wallet-related euphoria.”

    And just when you thought it couldn’t get crazier, Lego decides to combine Modular Buildings, Architecture, City, and Ideas into one Frankenstein-like subtheme. Enter Lego Icons: Restaurants Around the World. Fancy dining meets brick-building in ways you didn’t know you needed. Is it fun? Absolutely. Is it weird? Oh, 100%. And whatever you do, do not look at the back of this set. I repeat, DO NOT. It’s a level of cringe you have to see to believe.

    So, buckle up, brickheads, because we’re covering all this and more in today’s jam-packed episode of news and rumors. Stick around ‘til the end, because we promise it’ll be worth every second. Let’s get building!
