Last Saturday morning, we were up bright and early to make our way to the April 2015 LEGO Club meeting at our local store. It was a packed house today, with tons of parents hanging out on the floors helping their kids build. The story was that our UFO mini build was landing on
New LEGO Pick-a-Models on Pick-a-Brick Wall
If you haven’t set foot in a LEGO store since March, you may have missed the revamp to the LEGO Pick-a-Brick walls that rolled out on the first. Now when you visit your local store, there is a build associated with the Pick-a-Brick wall and the elements sold. May I introduce you to “Pick-a-Model”… This
To buy or not to buy LEGO Stephanie’s Beach House
I have this conversation a lot when I’m with my husband and I run into the LEGO Stephanie’s Beach House set… Me: I really like the set. Him: Yea? Me: Yes. That yellow color calls to me. Him: So buy it. Me: I can’t. Him: Why not? Me: Because I’m really annoyed LEGO used those
Winners of the Complete The Room Challenge
So by now you may be wondering what the results were of the Modulars by Kristel Complete the Room Modular Challenge considering how much I blogged about the contest. I’m sad to say neither of our entries won the challenge. *insert sad face here* However, the baby room did get honorable mention which was a
LEGO Doner Kebab House / Restaurant
Are you feeling hungry? How about some kebabs or shawarma at the Doner Kebab House? I absolutely love this modular. I’m sure it has a lot to do with the fact it serves shawarma. But aside from that, it’s awfully cute and has some great details. Among my favorites are the drink fridge, the bar
April 2015 LEGO Monthly Mini Build: UFO
Continuing the Sci-Fi theme, LEGO had kids building a UFO for the April 2015 LEGO monthly mini build. Some call it a “space” theme, but since the builds have been an alien, a space shuttle, and a robot, I’m more inclined to go with my “sci-fi” label. This month’s mini build was a UFO.
Buying LEGO Sets at Discount Prices
We’re not rich. We live month to month like most other Americans. Mr. Family Brick works as an installer for a well known franchise and my pay-the-bills business has always run in “feast or famine” mode. Right now, we’re in the “famine” while I work on redirecting the focus of the company. So you could say
Polybags on EBay!
Now that taxes are done, I’ve had some time to look at the growing stack of polybags collecting in my office these past few months. We don’t always open all LEGO sets in our house (I know, I know… sacrilege!) So what we don’t use, we put on eBay for other collectors. Also, we don’t always
Mrs. Family Brick’s Complete the Room Challenge Entry
Last week, I showed you the entry Mr. Family Brick built for the Complete the Room Challenge at Modulars by Kristel. Today, I want to share the other entry made for the challenge… the baby room! The first build I created was the crib using fence pieces and propped them up on faucets. Hard to
LEGO Green Grocer & LEGO Cafe Corner Getting Re-released!
According to The Brick Fan, LEGO is re-releasing the LEGO Green Grocer and the LEGO Cafe Corner modular buildings in a new “Revival” theme series! I so wish that were true… But it’s good to know I wasn’t the only one who got caught up in an April Fool’s joke! There were some funny
