One of the new themes the LEGO® Group launched in 2020 is the Monkie Kid. The theme pulls inspiration from an ancient Chinese folktale and gives it a modern twist. The first wave of the theme comprises eight sets and runs concurrently with a new animated series. While the show has yet to air in Canada, the sets went up

It has been a long while since I last shared a haul post. I have been acquiring sets; but they have primarily consisted of one-offs. With the COVID-19 pandemic raging I have not been going shopping much. Additionally, retailers have not offered proper deals since early March. However, I recently ordered a small haul. Incidentally, the savings were not great.

The Roller Coaster (10261) made my wish list early on. There was a time when I thought it would retire before I could ever get it. Luckily, tides turned, and I purchased the set spring 2020. With the COVID-19 pandemic ranging, the Roller Coaster also became one of my quarantine builds. Currently, this is the 10th largest LEGO® set ever

I am a sucker for LEGO® animals. Additionally, I like Ninjago sets. Lloyd’s Journey (70671) combined both of those interests into one neat, little package. I must confess, I do not know much about the three tailed wolf character included in this kit. While I do watch Ninjago, my progress has been slow. I don’t have much time to sit

Back in April 2020, I shared information about the upcoming release of LEGO Shazam Magic and Monsters. This direct-to-home-video release came out for digital download on April 28. However, the physical Blu-ray/DVD only recently hit store shelves. The incentive to wait until June 16 to buy the film came in the form of an exclusive Shazam Minifigure. I am a

I like LEGO® food trucks. When the Monster Burger Truck (31104) came out in January 2020, I added it to my wish list quickly. There is something comical yet ingenious about a monster food truck. I cannot believe that I have never come across one in real life. It seems like the sort of crazy gimmick that would sell. Regardless,

Throughout much of May 2020 and the first week of June, the LEGO® Store gave out the Beach Buggy (30369) set with purchases over $40. However, I have seen this polybag for sale already at some online retailers. Therefore, if you missed out on the freebie, you could still get this little kit. I imagine it will show up at

This week’s review features an older set. I am slowly trying to get my wife into building with LEGO® bricks as a hobby. I finally convinced her to pick a set that she wanted. The idea was to start small, so she picked her dream car from when she was a teenager. We ordered the 1974 Porsche (75895) for her,

The first week of June 2020 was one of those amazing weeks where two freebies overlap at the LEGO® Store. I spent the better part of the morning on June 1 shopping online. I filled my cart with a bunch of odds and ends needed for upcoming projects. In the end, I reached the $85 limit needed to get the

Growing up, Lamborghinis were my favorite car. I had models of the Countach and Diablo. As I got older, I lost track of the brand. However, the cars always held a special place in my memories. Owning a Lamborghini is not something likely to ever happen in my lifetime. However, now I can live vicariously through my SigFig. While it
