Where do I even begin? My August 2022 haul was a big one… I went a little crazy because I found some amazing deals on older sets. At the same time, I wanted the VIP Pirate polybag, so I made some new set purchases as well. Then I found some more deals. On top of that, my local Pick-and-Build walls

It is time for my July 2022 haul. I didn’t go too crazy this month. In fact, most of my purchases were small impulse buys. Firstly, I found out there were LEGO® Con t-shirts and hoodies on LEGO.com that I was completely unaware of. I wish I had known about them before LEGO® Con. All the same, I picked up

The month isn’t even over and I have already made a substantial June 2022 Haul. How could I resist? The build-a-mini (BAM) tower was stocked with new parts. Additionally, the LEGO® Group dropped an amazing gift-with-purchase (GWP). This GWP featured a throwback to the beloved Castles theme of my youth. Of course, I had to get one. Consequently, I ended

My area is continuously behind the times when it comes to the Build-A-Mini (BAM) tower at the LEGO® Store. Whenever Instagram floods with images of glorious new Minifigure parts, my local store has the tired selection from months ago. Recently, the latest update to BAM included pieces I could not resist. I am a fan of classic Castles and Pirates.

My last haul post was in March. I was actually good throughout the month of April and I did not make any set purchases! However, that was partly in anticipation of upcoming sets. May rolled around and I bought several new kits. Interestingly enough, two of the three big ones were not even for me. They were for my wife.

Today, we have a haul post of a different sort. These are not set purchases, rather they are VIP points redemptions. Since January, I have been redeeming points for VIP collectors’ coins. You might recall the coins were originally available in 2021. However, stock quickly ran out. Consequently, the LEGO® Group reissued the series in the Rewards Center on January

Since January, I have been gathering myself a set of VIP collectors’ coins using VIP points. Since the points redemption system only allows you to add one reward per order, I had to make several purchases over the last few months to get all the coins and the display case. Thankfully, the LEGO® Group had no shortage of amazing sets

February has come and gone. However, in that short month, I still managed to amass some more LEGO®. Partly, that was in order to continue redeeming my VIP collector’s coins. However, I also finally received my Bricklink Designer Program order. Additionally, I made one purchase simply because the set has been perpetually on backorder since January, and I found it

I stopped into Toys R Us (TRU) the other morning to see if their shelves had been restocked. Christmas shoppers and natural disaster-related supply chain shortages (at least here in BC) had left them perpetually empty. Part of the reason for the trip is that I needed to pick up some polybags for the Brick Alliance Polybag Project, a year-long

January is an amazing month for LEGO® purchases. Not only do you get a fresh wave of sets, you also get a load of clearance sales as retailers make room for said wave of fresh sets. I made a number of purchases this month. One of those does not appear in this article. I already built and reviewed my first
