The Little Brick’s Birthday and a Trip to LEGO Disney Downtown
We’re cheaters. We’ve been cheating on our local LEGO store. We’ve been spending the week in Florida with family… and making regular visits to the LEGO store in Downtown Disney. Our initial visit wasn’t just to go to the store, but also to celebrate the Little Brick’s birthday! Our brick off the old block (hah – I’m so
LEGO Brand Disney Princess Video
Mr. Family Brick found the cutest video about the LEGO Disney Princesses last night. Looks like it was posted back in February, but I never ran across it. He put it on the tv and The Little Brick was just mesmerized. Truth be told, so was I! So in honor of Little Bricks birthday (Happy
LEGO Brick Wall – North Point Mall
For my readers around the world who have never seen a Brick Wall, may I present the LEGO Brick Wall from the North Point Mall store: We love going to the store to browse the Brick Wall and play with all the bricks. It feels a little like finding a cave full of treasure and
LEGO Re-Organization Fever
When I picked up the two boxes of LEGO bricks for Mr. Family Brick’s birthday, we realized we needed a better system to organize our collection. So at 10pm on a Sunday night, we decided to re-organize. Our initial collection was sorted by color. All the blues with blues, all the greens with greens, etc…
Building the LEGO Research Institute
I mentioned a few posts ago I received the LEGO Research Institute on Shop@Home for my birthday. The other day, I finally got a chance to build it out. If you haven’t seen the set up close, here are a few photos of the builds: I liked that the booklet came with English, Spanish and French explanations combined. Made
Advent calendar comparison: LEGO Friends
I’m a little ashamed to say it, but I really like LEGO Friends. Set aside all the stereotypical girlie stuff… all the hair brushes, lipsticks, makeup mirrors, etc… and they’re just plain fun. What I love best about them is they add a new array of bright and bold colors to the traditional LEGO bricks.
Mr. Family Brick’s LEGO Birthday!
Today is Mr. Family Brick’s birthday. (Happy Birthday honey!) Since we scraped the building of the Green Grocer for now, we decided we would try to build the Fire Brigade. So, for his birthday, I spent hours on BrickLink.com, looking for some of the missing pieces (mainly tiles and plates) that have had him stuck
Hold on Green Grocer… we’re moving on to the Fire Brigade
Remember our nemesis, the Green Grocer? Well, we’ve come across way too many missing bricks in our stash to try and build it. We can’t even get half of the first level built, because the pieces we are missing are random here and there. Enough of a structural absence that it stops us from continuing
Selling our spare LEGO bricks
I may have mentioned it previously, but we buy lots of LEGO from CraigsList. It’s how we feed our obsession and play and build the things we want. The only issue with this is sometimes we get too much of one type of brick. Or we get bricks we just wouldn’t use. Not to mention,
