  • Ep. 97 - Pixar Characters and Lego IDEAS = Perfection
    Jul 23 2025

    The future is looking very Pixar… and very brick-built. With shiny new LEGO Wall-E and Eve sets rolling our way in just a few months, it felt like the perfect time to hit the rewind button and celebrate the dynamic duo of LEGO Pixar greatness that helped get us here. In this episode, I’m taking a close (and slightly emotional) look at not one, but two classic LEGO Ideas sets: the recently released Luxo Jr. and the 2015 fan-favorite Wall-E.

    First up is Luxo Jr.—you know, that bouncy little desk lamp who’s been jumping on letters since the dawn of Pixar. Now he’s jumping onto our shelves in LEGO form, complete with a fully poseable lamp neck, expressive movement, and yes, the ball. I’ll break down the build, share how it displays, and ask the hard-hitting questions like: is this tiny light fixture, complete with heaps of hidden easter eggs, actually cuter than some of your minifigs?

    Then we roll into the trash-strewn future with the original LEGO Wall-E from 2015—a build so charming it almost makes you forget it needed a neck surgery out of the box. We’re talking expressive eyes, compact design, and an uncanny ability to make adult LEGO fans feel feelings. I’ll explore why this cube-shaped sweetheart still earns a prime spot in my collection a decade later.

    So if you’re hyped for the upcoming Wall-E and Eve sets—or just want to know whether Luxo Jr. deserves a spot next to your Pixar Blu-rays—this is the episode for you. Grab your popcorn, power up your charging port, and let’s take a brick-by-brick tour through two of the most heartwarming builds LEGO has ever produced. Thanks for listening!

  • Ep. 96 - These 18+ LEGO sets are crazy!
    Jul 21 2025

    Hide the minifigs, lock the toy box, and put the kids to bed—because this episode is strictly 18+. No, not that kind of 18+. We’re talking about LEGO’s most sophisticated, most display-worthy, most budget-destroying lineup of sets coming for the rest of 2025. That’s right, it’s an adults-only brick breakdown, and trust me—you’re going to want a strong drink and a spreadsheet for this one.

    In this episode, I’m covering every upcoming 18+ LEGO set dropping through the rest of the year. From high-end Icons builds to intricate Ideas sets, sleek architecture masterpieces to art-gallery-worthy mosaics, and yes—even some extra-mature Ideas, Star Wars, and even Star Trek builds that are more “collector's shelf” than “playroom floor.” It’s a buffet of beautiful bricks built just for grown-up fans who know their clutch power from their coffee table aesthetics.

    We’re diving deep into the themes, the price tags, the release dates, and the one question we’re all asking: how many of these do I need… and how many organs would I need to sell to get them all?

    So, if you’ve ever uttered the words “LEGO is my self-care,” or proudly claimed a top shelf for your Hogwarts Express and not your wedding photos, this is your episode. Adult fans, unite—this one’s for us. Thanks for listening!

  • Ep. 95 - Ranking The Best LEGO Vehicles Ever Made
    Jul 16 2025

    Start your engines, brick fans—because in this episode, we’re shifting into high gear and ranking ALL 20 LEGO vehicles currently in the lineup! From sleek sports cars to retro classics, from tiny details to big blocky beasts, I’m diving into the garage of LEGO’s best rides and telling you which ones are cruising in style—and which ones are stalling out at the starting line.

    We’re talking Advanced Models, Creator Expert, and Icons vehicles, the full fuel-injected fleet! Whether it’s a legendary muscle car, a vintage pickup, or a wildly overbuilt scooter (yep, that one made the list), I’m putting them all to the test. Which builds deliver the vroom-vroom wow factor? Which ones are secretly just overpriced dust magnets? And which models are so gorgeous, they’ll make you forget you don’t actually have shelf space for another LEGO set?

    In this countdown from worst to first, I’ll be rating them on design, build experience, display appeal, and yes—even playability (because who among us hasn’t rolled a LEGO car across the table when no one was looking?). I’ll share some spicy takes, reveal some surprisingly low rankings, and, of course, crown my #1 vehicle—the ultimate king of the LEGO roads.

    So, whether you're a LEGO gearhead, a collector with a serious shelf display game, or just someone who enjoys ranking things for the sheer drama of it all—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

    Hop in, buckle up, and let’s take a turbo-charged trip through LEGO’s best (and not-so-best) rides! Thanks for listening!!!

  • Ep. 93 - Setting a High Bar - Harry Potter Gringotts Bank - Full Review
    Jul 9 2025

    Wands at the ready and wallets... trembling.

    In this episode, I’m diving deep into the magical marble halls of Gringotts Wizarding Bank with a full review of one of the most spellbinding, ambitious, and straight-up jaw-dropping LEGO Harry Potter sets ever released.

    We’re talking about the big one—a towering build that delivers vaults, dragons, goblets, and goblins, all packed into a single epic experience. From Harry and crew’s daring break-in to Vault 713, to the inclusion of the Ukrainian Ironbelly dragon (because what's a bank heist without a fire-breathing security system?), this set is practically a Hogwarts field trip in a box. And yes—it’s even compatible with Diagon Alley.

    This magical behemoth also comes with 13 minifigures, 11 of which are exclusive—so no filler figs here. Whether you’re a lifelong Potterhead or a LEGO lover who just appreciates expert design and storytelling, this is a build that casts a serious charm.

    But let’s not ignore the enchanted elephant in the room: the $430 price tag. Is it worth every Galleon? Or will this purchase leave your Gringotts vault echoing with regret? I’ll be unpacking the details, highlighting the highs (and a few lows), and sharing my honest take on whether this set lives up to the hype—or just feels like a Stupefy to your budget.

    Grab your Butterbeer, tune in, and let’s head down to the vaults of LEGO magic.

  • Ep. 92 - The Most Exclusive Experience on the Planet - The LEGO Inside Tour
    Jul 7 2025

    Ever wonder what lies behind the curtain at LEGO HQ? In this episode, we’re stepping into the brick-built promised land—the LEGO Inside Tour, an exclusive, invite-only, absolutely legendary experience held in Billund, Denmark, the birthplace of the brick itself.

    Only about 350 lucky fans get to go each year, and over the course of three unforgettable days, they get VIP access to the inner workings of LEGO: from secret design labs and molding machines to walking the same halls as LEGO legends. It's part history lesson, part innovation showcase, and 100% LEGO fan fantasy.

    But wait—it gets better. Participants also receive something few collectors can even dream of: an exclusive LEGO set designed just for Inside Tour attendees. We’re talking ultra-rare, never-sold-in-stores, instant-grail status kind of rare. Some of these sets have fetched $5,000+ on the aftermarket for just a few hundred pieces. Yep—you heard that right.

    In this podcast episode, I’ll walk you through the entire Inside Tour experience: the schedule, the surprises, the special perks, the emotional highs, and the financial… well, realities. Is it worth the hype? Is it worth the cost? Is this the ultimate bucket-list trip for LEGO lovers? Let’s dig into all of it.

    So grab your headphones and let’s go on the journey together—no passport required.

  • Ep. 91 - Mountain Windmill Set Review: A Bricklink Dream or Design Disaster?
    Jul 2 2025

    In this episode, we journey into the misty peaks of LEGO history to uncover one of the most enchanting and elusive sets ever produced: the Mountain Windmill (910003) from the Bricklink Designer Program. Part fantasy, part mystery, and 100% limited-edition LEGO magic, this HANWAS designed set has quietly become a cult favorite among AFOLs (well at least this AFOL)—and today, I’m giving it the spotlight it deserves.

    Originally launched through the crowd-funded Bricklink Designer Program back in 2021, the Mountain Windmill stood out in a sea of incredible submissions. Despite falling just shy of the 10,000-unit cap (clocking in at around 9,000 sets), it’s still a highly sought-after build from the program—and for good reason.

    With 1,890+ pieces and a retail price of $180, this set combines beautiful architecture, clever techniques, and a storybook setting straight out of a fantasy novel. According to lore, it sits high in the Boratis Mountains, nestled between ancient peaks, long abandoned and reclaimed by nature. Who lived there? What was it used for? The mystery only adds to the charm—and the play/display potential.

    In this review, I take you through the entire build: what works, what wows, and whether this retired rarity is worth the secondhand market price tag. Whether you’re a collector, a MOC enthusiast, or just here for some atmospheric LEGO vibes, this is one set that deserves a closer look.

    So grab your hiking boots and let’s climb the LEGO mountains together.

  • Ep. 90 - How LEGO Turned Fan Ideas Into BILLIONS
    Jun 30 2025

    Grab your minifigs and dust off your nostalgia, because in this episode we're taking a brick-built time machine back through the wild, wonderful world of LEGO Ideas—from its humble beginnings as LEGO CUUSOO to the fan-powered powerhouse it is today!

    Join me as I review the entire LEGO Ideas theme, exploring its fascinating history, unexpected hits, legendary misses, and the impact it’s had on the LEGO community at large. From NASA rockets to 90s sitcom apartments, playable pianos to pirate ships, Ideas has brought fan creativity to life like no other LEGO theme out there. But here’s the big question: Is LEGO Ideas the greatest LEGO theme ever? Or is it just a chaotic mishmash of nostalgia, pop culture, and highly-specific fandom dreams?

    I’ll be diving deep into the sets, the themes, the many surprises. Plus, I’ll be chatting about what the next 10 years of LEGO Ideas could look like. Modulars? More IPs? A giant brick-built goat? Anything is possible when the fans are in charge.

    Whether you’re a lifelong AFOL, a casual builder, or someone wondering how a typewriter became a LEGO set, this video is your ultimate guide to the most unpredictable and creative theme in the LEGO universe.

    Thanks for watching—and remember: all great ideas start with a single brick.
