While the kid in me enjoys a good LEGO build, the adult in me always loves seeing LEGO used in out of the box ideas… like in LEGO lenticulars. I just wrote last month about an older LEGO campaign re-creating some of history’s greatest paintings as mini LEGO Mosaics. So it was interesting to see one of my friends tag me on Facebook with
If you haven’t already seen it, last night’s LEGO Monthly Mini build was a sweet little space shuttle. This time, we went to the monthly build with a few friends in tow. The boys had never gone to a LEGO Monthly Mini Build, so I suspect this was a real treat for them. The
So I can’t believe I completely missed this, but last week I ran into a lego building challenge for the month of January called “The HARDnuary Pool“. I found it while I was lost in a LEGO-fueled picture viewing session as I admired the multitude of amazing MOCs on Flickr. It’s so easy to get
If you remember, we picked up one of the LEGO Disney Elsa’s Sparkling Ice Castle sets on January 1st. The Little Brick couldn’t wait to build it, so we started into it right after nap time. The set is rather small for my tastes, with only 292 pieces total. At a price tag of $39.99,

This week, LEGO stores were running a mystery game with Detective Ace Brickman from the LEGO Detective Office. We had some time, so we decided to take The Little Brick for the hunt! If you’re wondering what the prize was, they handed out LEGO Detective Badge Stickers. If I could get The Little Brick to
I had big plans to blog this holiday season. Wanted to share our winter village setup and what LEGO events we attended, but family comes first. This blog is called “The Family Brick” after all, and I wanted to make sure I attended to family. So you may get a flurry of Christmas related blog
In between all the Christmas preparations, shopping for family and wrapping presents, I didn’t get as many auctions and listings up on eBay as I was hoping for. However, some of them sold well and quickly, which was super exciting. I have such mixed feelings when it comes to eBay. It’s so hard to put
I probably should have gotten these up sooner, but I just posted a bunch of LEGO eBay auctions this week. Cleaning my desk, I found a few polybags and minifigures I’ve been meaning to auction. If I wait too long, they become a part of The Little Brick’s massive LEGO collection and she really doesn’t need
