Long time readers know that I am a hardcore Jurassic Park fan. The marrying of LEGO® with the franchise is like the clouds parting and a beam of sunlight shining down on me. I often buy these sets just to have the dinosaurs and characters in Minifigure form. While most of the sets are based off the Jurassic World films,

I bought the Fun Fair people pack some time ago. I recently decided to open the box and review the set. The decision came around after reviewing the Roller Coaster set. The two kits go well together. I had some fun photographing these Minifigures around all the fairground sets that I own. Without further ado, here are my thoughts on

The LEGO® Store re-opened in my neck of the woods recently after the COVID-19 lockdown. On my first visit, I was pleasantly surprised to find the summer 2020 Jurassic World sets already on sale. I was not expecting them until early August. Consequently, I pick up the set at the top of my list: Indominus rex Vs Ankylosaurus. Apart from

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.

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

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,
