I love to read LEGO set reviews that stray from the norm. So many reviews, including the few I’ve done, simply talk about the number of pieces in the set, the minifigures, what LEGO could have done better, etc… However, I recently ran across an excellent review on the LEGO City Museum Break-in (60008) set by
This weekend, Mr. Family Brick reminded me about getting Valentine’s Day cards for The Little Brick… of course, I decided instead to create LEGO Valentines! It wasn’t my first go-to idea. I initially went to Pinterest to see what all the crafty people were making for with their kids. I had ideas for “Let’s stick
Last year, when we really got into building the modulars, I found myself browsing eBay looking at other building instructions I could buy. As it turns out, I fell in love with a beautiful MOC called “Blue Corner Cafe“. Not thinking anything of it and assuming the seller was the actual creator of this wonderful
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

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,
I’m new to blogging LEGO so even older things are new to me… and something like Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” recreated as LEGO mosaic is just so awesome! If you’ve never run across this before, here’s the scoop: Back in 2013, LEGO ran a campaign based on the slogan “All children are artists
One of the things that really fuels our visits to the LEGO stores is the LEGO Winter Village sets. When we saw the LEGO Creator Winter Village Market and the LEGO Creator Winter Village Cottage a few years ago, we fell in love. Always wanting to build a Christmas village as part of our holiday
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
