  • Today, we're diving headfirst into a question that's been rattling around my brain like a loose 1x1 stud in a vacuum cleaner: Is LEGO really for kids anymore?

    Once upon a time (cue nostalgic flashback music), LEGO bricks were purely the realm of young dreamers. Little hands building wobbly houses, rocket ships, and whatever that blob was supposed to be. It was simple. It was joyful. It was the ultimate toy for curious minds and sticky fingers. But fast forward to today, and things look... a bit different.

    Higher standards. Higher prices. Marketing campaigns straight-up targeting adults. Yeah, I'm looking at you, LEGO Icons and UCS Star Wars sets. And Iā€™m pretty sure my wallet just filed a restraining order against me after I went all-in on the latest modular building.

    So, what happened? When did this shift from ā€œkidā€™s toyā€ to ā€œpremium adult collectibleā€ actually start? How did LEGO evolve from building basic houses to crafting architectural masterpieces that look better than my actual living room? And why is it that I suddenly need a part-time job just to afford the new wave of sets?

    Iā€™m about to break it all down for youā€”the rise of the Adult Fan of LEGO (AFOL), how the LEGO Group saw us coming a mile away, and why this might just be the golden age for grown-up builders. Spoiler alert: itā€™s not just your imaginationā€”LEGO really has grown up with us. Whether thatā€™s a good or bad thing probably depends on how much shelf space you have left.

    And while Iā€™m at it, Iā€™m taking a look at how LEGOā€™s strategy might be shifting even further into adult territory. Are they leaving kids behind? Or are they just making room for us big kids who never really grew out of our brick obsession? Either way, Iā€™m here to unpack it all, piece by tiny piece.

    So, get comfy, grab your favorite minifig, and settle inā€”this episode is gonna be one wild ride through the past, present, and future of the worldā€™s largest toy company. The answers might surprise youā€”or just make you feel totally validated as an AFOL. Either way, I promise plenty of laughs and some deep thoughts on why weā€™re all still so obsessed with these little plastic bricks.

    Thanks for tuning in, and as alwaysā€”keep building and stay awesome!

The rumor millā€™s churning, and word on the street is thereā€™s a new minifig thatā€™s got Bart Simpson absolutely shaking. What could it be? A radioactive Krusty? Zombie Homer? Or, maybe someone far - far more sinister...

    And finally, because your shelf space isnā€™t complete without a little epic fantasy flair, brace yourselves for some Lord of the Rings magic! Yes, you heard it rightā€”Book Nooks are coming to LEGO! If youā€™re anything like me, youā€™ll be clearing a prime spot on the shelf for these amazing miniature worlds tucked between your favorite novels.

  • 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? Letā€™s face itā€”over the years, Lego has graced us with nearly 200 different themes. Some have become timeless classics, while others... well, letā€™s just say theyā€™re the building equivalent of leaving a brick on the floor in the dark.

    In todayā€™s episode, Iā€™m diving headfirst into this delicate (but oh-so-fun) topic. Iā€™ll be dissecting the current lineup of 35 Lego themes available to us in 2025. And hereā€™s where it gets spicy: Iā€™m 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, itā€™s time to Marie Kondo this lineup and ask, ā€œDoes this theme still spark joy?ā€

    But donā€™t worryā€”itā€™s not all doom and gloom! Iā€™m also pitching four brand-new themes that I think deserve a shot at Lego stardom. What could these be? Well, letā€™s just say my picks are bold, fun, and 100% subjective. Itā€™s 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 doesnā€™t stop there. Letā€™s talk about the brand-new One Piece theme sailing into Lego waters in 2025. Did you guess thereā€™d be a set with over 3,000 pieces? If so, congratulations, youā€™re officially smarter than meā€”and probably have a stronger table for building, too.

  • Prepare to have your LEGO-loving mind blown, because in this episode, Iā€™m diving deepā€”like Dagobah swamp deepā€”into the incredible UCS Republic Gunship. Weā€™re talking ratings, a fascinating backstory, and yes, even a touch of good olā€™ LEGO controversy. Thatā€™s right, folks, itā€™s the UCS set that you voted forā€”because for once, LEGO handed the keys to the fans. (Donā€™t get used to it.) The Republic Gunship won against two other contenders, clinching its spot as the Fall 2021 UCS masterpiece. Or waitā€¦ 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 isnā€™t just a feast for your eyesā€”itā€™s also a workout for your wallet. Measuring in at the size of a small bantha (yes, bantha), itā€™s a behemoth of a build thatā€™ll 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 hereā€™s the real kicker: is it worth hunting down now that itā€™s retired? Should you brave the aftermarket to bring this beauty home, or just admire it from afar like a Jawa eyeing shiny droid parts? Iā€™ll break it all down for you, and by the end of this episode, youā€™ll 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 thatā€™s worthy of a galaxy far, far away. Trust me, this is one ride you donā€™t want to miss.

  • Did you know there are more than four billion LEGO minifigures on Earth? Thatā€™s enough to give every human on the planet half a minifigure. But waitā€”thereā€™s more. Did you know that a LEGO minifigure has literally been to Jupiter? Yes, the little plastic person made it farther than your travel bucket list ever will.

    In this episode, we dive deep into the incredible 50-year journey of the humble minifigure. From its blocky beginnings to becoming a pop culture icon, weā€™ll uncover the wild twists and turns that transformed this tiny toy into a global obsession. How did one small design revolutionize the way we look at, play with, and collect LEGO?

    But thatā€™s not all! Weā€™re 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? Youā€™ll have to listen to the end to find out.

    So, grab your favorite LEGO set, settle in, and letā€™s get nostalgic, nerdy, and maybe a little envious of that minifigure that went to outer space. Donā€™t miss it!

While I was busy collecting jet lag and questionable souvenirs, the LEGO universe didnā€™t take a break.
