Recently, I reviewed the Friends Heartlake City Airplane (41429). Prior to that, I also looked at the City Passenger Airplane (60262). When the LEGO® Group announced these sets in summer 2020, I intended to buy the City set. However, the Friends variant intrigued me as well. Ultimately, I decided to acquire both to compare the sets. Consequently, let us make

With 2020 firmly behind us, I thought we would take a moment to reflect on some of the highlights of the year. It certainly was one for books. However, despite pandemics, politics, and environmental disasters, it was not all bad. For LEGO® collectors, there were many great moments. For my look back, I decided to reflect on my top 10

The LEGO® Group launched the first annual Build Day on December 26, 2020. They encouraged fans to show their builds on social media with the hashtag #LEGOBuildDay. With the usual Christmas rush, I think it is a great idea to just stay home and build something on Boxing Day. That is especially true with the current state of the world

I have long wanted a large, proper plane for my Minifigures to fly in. Despite this desire, I let the last round of airplanes pass me by. As I mentioned earlier, my city does not have

Time for my LEGO® and Men’s Wear Stores fourth update. I added the final floor of the LEGO® Store. Consequently, the build is near completion. However, I have yet to design a sign for the Men’s Wear boutique. Additionally, the tram tracks need some tiling. I have not decided how I want to go about either issue though. I need

The goal of this Explore the World initiative is to inspire children to dream up solutions to the world’s conservation problems through play. Not long ago, I reviewed the Ocean Exploration Base from this collection. Sadly, it

Recently, I decided to update my social media banners to reflect the coming of winter. Additionally, I had an arctic explorer Minifigure already drawn and colored. I added a simple background, and presto: new banners. Given that I was working on the image anyway, I decided to offer the same Minifigure as a coloring page this week. Therefore, I present

I am fan of the science-related sub-themes in LEGO® City. The Ocean Exploration Base (60265) interested me a lot in this year’s wave. The design is like the Lunar Space Station from 2019. I loved that set. Furthermore, I was into Aquanauts as a kid and never had the chance to get their underwater base. Therefore, Ocean Exploration Base checked
