Welcome, fellow brick enthusiasts, to an episode that dares to tackle a potential controversial question in the Lego universe: When is it time for a Lego theme to bite the dust? Letâs face itâover the years, Lego has graced us with nearly 200 different themes. Some have become timeless classics, while others... well, letâs just say theyâre the building equivalent of leaving a brick on the floor in the dark.
In todayâs episode, Iâm diving headfirst into this delicate (but oh-so-fun) topic. Iâll be dissecting the current lineup of 35 Lego themes available to us in 2025. And hereâs where it gets spicy: Iâm calling out four themes that, in my humble but entirely correct opinion, should gracefully bow out and retire to the great Lego bin in the sky. Yup, itâs time to Marie Kondo this lineup and ask, âDoes this theme still spark joy?â
But donât worryâitâs not all doom and gloom! Iâm also pitching four brand-new themes that I think deserve a shot at Lego stardom. What could these be? Well, letâs just say my picks are bold, fun, and 100% subjective. Itâs time to unleash some creativity and give the Lego lineup a much-needed refresh.
So, grab your favorite building set, pour yourself a mug of coffee (or something stronger if your favorite theme might make my cut list), and join me as we take a deep dive into the world of Lego themes. Whether you agree, disagree, or just want to laugh at my wildly biased takes, this episode is going to be a blast! Thanks for tuning in!

Oh, but it doesnât stop there. Letâs talk about the brand-new One Piece theme sailing into Lego waters in 2025. Did you guess thereâd be a set with over 3,000 pieces? If so, congratulations, youâre officially smarter than meâand probably have a stronger table for building, too.
And what about the Disney Castle? Itâs saying its goodbyes, I have the scoop on what is taking its throne? Plus, weâre speculating about the mysterious new ICONS car for this year. Spoiler: itâs probably not a Prius, but if rumors are to be believed - it may be close but even cooler!
Finally, as an added treat (or maybe a warning), Iâll give you a sneak peek at Wednesdayâs episode, where I might just dive into some controversial Lego opinions that might get your blood boiling. So buckle upâitâs going to be a wild ride.

Get ready to have your brick-loving mind blown because in todayâs episode, weâre diving into some wild news and tantalizing rumors for 2025 that you need to hear about. First up, anime fans, this oneâs for you: Do you love One Piece? Are you hyped for Season 2 on Netflix? Have you ever sat there, watching Luffy and the crew, thinking, âYou know what this show needs? Tiny, plastic bricks that I can step on at 3 a.m.â? Well, your oddly specific wish is granted because Lego and One Piece are teaming up! Weâre breaking down everything you need to know about this dream collab. Spoiler alert: You might end up yelling âGomu Gomu noooo way!â
But wait, thereâs more! If youâre a Ninjago fan (and if youâre not, weâre judging you just a little), youâre in for a treat. Picture the biggest, baddest, most bananas Ninjago set you can imagine. Now shrink it down a little bit, and thatâs whatâs dropping on March 1st. Seriously, this set is such a good value it should come with a warning label: âMay cause excessive drooling and wallet-related euphoria.â

Enter Lego Icons: Restaurants Around the World. Fancy dining meets brick-building in ways you didnât know you needed. Is it fun? Absolutely. Is it weird? Oh, 100%.

Prepare to have your LEGO-loving mind blown, because in this episode, Iâm diving deepâlike Dagobah swamp deepâinto the incredible UCS Republic Gunship. Weâre talking ratings, a fascinating backstory, and yes, even a touch of good olâ LEGO controversy. Thatâs right, folks, itâs the UCS set that you voted forâbecause for once, LEGO handed the keys to the fans. (Donât get used to it.) The Republic Gunship won against two other contenders, clinching its spot as the Fall 2021 UCS masterpiece. Or wait⊠is it the Imperial Gunship? Those box images and instruction manuals seem a bit, um, confused.
At over 3,200 pieces and a staggering $350 price tag, this set isnât just a feast for your eyesâitâs also a workout for your wallet. Measuring in at the size of a small bantha (yes, bantha), itâs a behemoth of a build thatâll take center stage in any display... assuming you have room for it. If not, maybe consider moving some furniture or evicting a lesser set.
But hereâs the real kicker: is it worth hunting down now that itâs retired? Should you brave the aftermarket to bring this beauty home, or just admire it from afar like a Jawa eyeing shiny droid parts? Iâll break it all down for you, and by the end of this episode, youâll have my final rating to help you decide if this Gunship deserves a spot in your fleet.
So grab a glass of your favorite blue milk, find a comfy spot, and get ready for a journey through LEGO Star Wars history thatâs worthy of a galaxy far, far away. Trust me, this is one ride you donât want to miss.
Thanks for listening, and may the Force (and your brick budget) be with you!

If youâve ever wanted sparkly vampire LEGO minifigs to grace your shelves, the time has come. Team Edward? Team Jacob? Forget thatâit's Team Brick now! LEGO has officially unveiled the Cullen house set, and whether it makes you howl at the moon or roll your eyes, itâs here to sink its teeth into your wallet.
Next, if youâve been itching to expand your LEGO collection and save some cash, the current Double VIP Points promotion is your moment. And hey, green thumbs, this weekâs deals include some gorgeous botanical setsâbecause nothing says âIâm a responsible adultâ like a LEGO orchid sitting on your desk.
Then, Iâll help you sync your calendars because BrickLinkâs Series Four Designer sets are about to hit preorder. These fan-designed masterpieces sell out fast, so Iâm here to break down all the must-know details to ensure you donât miss out (or end up weeping in your empty LEGO room).
Finally, letâs talk Star Wars. Sure, May the 4th might feel light-years away, but LEGOâs rolling out seven (yes, SEVEN) new sets that are worth planning and saving for now. Warning: You may need a small loan or the Jedi mind trick to afford them, but trust me, theyâre worth it.
So, grab a snack, hit play, and join me for all the LEGO laughs and insights you can handle. And as always, thanks for listening!

Did you know there are more than four billion LEGO minifigures on Earth? Thatâs enough to give every human on the planet half a minifigure. But waitâthereâs more.

But thatâs not all! Weâre tackling the ultimate LEGO mystery: out of a staggering four billion minifigures, which one is the rarest of them all? Is it hiding in your attic? Did you accidentally trade it for a knockoff Bionicle back in the day? Youâll have to listen to the end to find out.
So, grab your favorite LEGO set, settle in, and letâs get nostalgic, nerdy, and maybe a little envious of that minifigure that went to outer space. Donât miss it!

Buckle up, brick fans, because this weekâs episode is one wild ride! Iâm back from a two-week vacation to the other side of the globe, and you better believe Iâve got a lot to say. While I was busy collecting jet lag and questionable souvenirs, the LEGO universe didnât take a break. Oh no, it decided to drop some absolutely mind-blowing news and rumors, and now Iâm here to catch you upâand probably talk your ear off in the process.
First up, one of my bold 2025 predictions is already shaping up to be true: Star Trek is finally beaming its way into LEGO! Yes, you heard that right. By late 2025, we could be welcoming a 3600-piece Enterprise D into our collections. Start saving now, because if this rumor holds water, itâs dropping on Black Friday, and itâs going to fly off the shelves faster than a Vulcan at a logic convention.
But wait, thereâs more! Like, a lot more. Iâve got juicy intel on the next Nintendo set rumored to hit stores in Octoberâthink nostalgic magic meets brick-building brilliance. And as if that wasnât enough to empty your wallet, Iâve got new details about the hotly anticipated Lord of the Rings Bag End set, arriving in just a few months. Trust me, this episode is a treasure trove of LEGO goodness, and youâre going to want a notebook (and maybe a financial advisor) handy.
So, grab a snack, settle in, and get ready for an episode thatâs as jam-packed as a LEGO advent calendar. As always, thanks for listening, and donât forget to share the love with your fellow brickheads!

Are you ready to take a spin on the LEGO nostalgia train today? I sure hope so, because weâre diving into a Creator Expert fairground classic: set #10257, the LEGO Carousel! This isnât just any carouselâitâs the LEGO version of whimsical childhood dreams packed into 2,670 glorious pieces.
First released in June 2017, this amazing set hit shelves as the third installment in the Fairground Collection. At a cool $200, it quickly became a crown jewel for many collectors, especially for those who missed out on the elusive Grand Carousel nearly a decade earlier. (You know, the one that now costs more than your rent on the resale market.)
With its colorful details, playful design, and spinning charm, the LEGO Carousel brought the fun of the fairground to your living room. But hereâs the real question: how does this set stack up against the legendary Grand Carouselâone of the most iconic LEGO sets of all time? Is it a worthy successor, or does it fall a few horses short of greatness?
Stick around as I break it all down, piece by piece. Iâll share my full review, a completely subjective (but highly entertaining) rating, and even a comparison of the two carousels to answer the ultimate LEGO question: which one deserves your display space?
So, grab a snack (preferably not one with LEGO pieces in it), and letâs take a ride on this brick-built blast from the past. And, as always, thanks for listening! Donât forget to subscribe, share, and maybe even leave me a reviewâbecause just like LEGO sets, podcasts are more fun when theyâre shared.

Time to dust off the crystal ball and dive into the thrilling world of Lego speculation! In todayâs episode, Iâm stepping into the role of a fortune teller (minus the fancy robe and mystic incense) to give you my three big, bold predictions for what Lego has in store for us in 2025. From new patterns in set design to unexpected themes and intriguing partnerships, Iâm sharing my best guesses about the road aheadâand letâs just say, itâs not all sunshine and smooth tiles.
But hereâs the fun part: each prediction gets bolder and more daring as we go. Will I foresee the death of a fan-favorite classic theme? Maybe a jaw-dropping collaboration we didnât see coming? Or perhaps a controversial direction that could have fans shaking their minifigure-sized fists? One thingâs for sureâitâs going to be a wild ride, and Iâm not holding back.
So grab your coffee, your favorite brick-built magnifying glass, and settle in as I peer into the future of our favorite little plastic bricks. Will my predictions hit the mark or fall apart faster than an unstable Technic build? Thereâs only one way to find outâstay tuned until the very end!
Update Note: Yes, a $1000 Death Star might go against some thoughts, but I'm telling you - it's an outlier - not the norm)

This masterpiece of brick engineering, released back in 2020, proves once and for all that square pegs can fit into round holesâor at least square bricks can make smooth curves. How?

Seriously, itâs like Lego Mozart got together with a wizard and said, "Letâs blow their minds."
But hereâs the kicker: this set is on the verge of retirement, which means if youâre debating whether to take the plunge and invest a small fortune in it, nowâs the time to decide. Is it worth the cost? Is it worth sacrificing your dining table for the next three weeks while you build it?

Join me as I break down my top ten picks, factoring in every little detail from nostalgia points to innovative design to just plain fun.
