So, we’ve been hiding out in our basement LEGO room. Long time, no see, right? I know it’s been a minute. When the pandemic hit, we, like many of you guys as well, spent our time trying to work while acting as teacher/short-order cook/entertainment director. It was exhausting. And little by little, we’ve began to
Since today is St. Patricks Day, I figure you guys might want to get some inspiration to build yourself some LEGO rainbows! With LEGO bricks coming in about every color under the sun these days, it’s not that hard to do. And once you build your rainbow, you can also build the leprechaun trap that
Well, this is a first for us… I just posted yesterday about DixieLUG’s participation in this weekend’s 2020 Model Train show. This morning, we woke to find the show was canceled. Writing about a pandemic affecting LEGO is not something I thought I would be writing about on this blog, but here we are. The
This weekend, DixieLUG will be at the 2020 Atlanta Model Train Show. If you haven’t noticed yet, we do several shows a year. This one, just like the Trains! Trains! Trains! show, is one of the standard shows we display at regularly. LEGO trains are always a big draw for the kids young and old

Did you know that LEGO sometimes has adult building nights? The next one coming up is the LEGO Valentine’s Day Adult Build. It’s been a few years since LEGO started adult building night events, but I think they’ve finally realized adults are an untapped market. We like to build, too, and we will spend a
I can’t imagine that if you love LEGO, you haven’t yet heard about the new LEGO Masters Sweepstakes and Series Premiere this Wednesday, February 5th on Fox. Everywhere I go online, I’ve gotten bombarded with ads for the show left and right. Interestingly enough, we were invited to audition to compete on the show when
It’s Trains! Trains! Trains! 10th Anniversary Celebration this year! You may not know what I’m talking about, but this is a train show that DixieLug has been participating at for several years. We’ve participated yearly since 2016. I know, I know… it’s happening this weekend and I probably didn’t give you much time to plan,
Welcome to 2020! We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a happy and safe New Year celebration… and that you made it to the LEGO store at least once or twice in December to enjoy all the magical Christmas energy and store builds. If you did, you probably saw the LEGO Pick-A-Brick Christmas
As you know, our thing here is building winter village. Which is why we were so excited to be asked to review the LEGO Gingerbread House Light Kit from Game of Bricks! I think I may have literally squealed out loud. And Mr. Family Brick? Equally as excited, because adding lights to our build has
