Hey folks! As you can see, some of my posts are missing images and links due to some host issues I experienced recently. I'm working through getting those corrected as quickly as I can. However, if you are looking at a page you'd like me to correct sooner rather than later, drop me a line with the title of the blog post and I will move it up in my list of fixes to make. Thanks for your help!

Tomorrow is the start date of the January 2016 LEGO Monthly Mini Build, the first monthly mini build of the new year. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s an adorable little polar bear build. It looks to be mainly bricks, but I do see a Technic ball and some speciality foot pieces. It doesn’t look to0 “plate-heavy”, so you can probably build it or something similar with your stash of LEGO bricks.

If you try it, I’d love to see how your build turned out!

Resources to build the January 2016 LEGO Monthly Mini Build Polar Bear

~~I normally have parts lists and instruction download information for you here, but something is going on with LEGO’s IT department this year.~~ If you need a downloadable parts list, you can grab one from Brickset. You can also download the instructions for the January 2016 LEGO Monthly Mini Build Polar Bear here.

The LEGO website started the year with several hiccups and it seems the monthly mini build portion of the website is having issues as well. Instead of displaying the polar bear build, they’re displaying the alien build from January 2015. If anyone from LEGO is reading this blog, I’d love to come help maintain the website and roll out updates properly. A little GIT and production deployments never hurt anyone. ;)

Also, just a note on registration for the March 2016 LEGO monthly mini build registration. Registration opens on February 15th at 9:00am EST.
