A few days ago, I ran across a video-review by JANGBRiCKS (see below) about a LEGO City Playmat I was not familiar with and found interesting. According to the Brickset database, both the #853656 LEGO City Playmat and the very similar #853671 LEGO Friends Heartlake City Playmat were released last year, but until seeing JANG’s […] Read more

There are a number of very interesting LEGO Creator sets that were released at the beginning of the month and are definitely worth discussing. First of all, all of these sets are 3-in-1 models, meaning that LEGO provides instructions to rebuild the set in at least three different ways (even more with the modular sets). […] Read more
Ever since the #70922 LEGO Batman Movie Joker Manor was first revealed a few months back, there has been a lot of talk amongst LEGO fans about the new LEGO roller coaster track system that comes with the set. It has been a dream of many LEGO enthusiasts to build a proper LEGO roller coaster, […] Read more
Just a bit of update on LEGO BOOST, the new robotics system that was released earlier this year (see links at the end of this post for more info).

So, let’s see if the LEGO version of the structure lives up to the significance of […] Read more
We have discussed the new #17101 LEGO BOOST Creative Toolbox already (see: LEGO BOOST Creative Toolbox Review), however there is one question that we haven’t addressed in detail; LEGO BOOST’s compatibility with the #31313 LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 robotics system, the LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 system, and the standard LEGO Power Functions system. So let’s take […] Read more
There are a couple of new LEGO Minecraft sets we haven’t talked about yet; the #21135 LEGO Minecraft The Crafting Box 2.0, and the #21136 LEGO Minecraft The Ocean Monument. While all the LEGO Minecraft sets offer alternate instructions and suggestions for customization, I particularly like the #21116 LEGO Minecraft Crafting Box that was released […] Read more
A very interesting LEGO piece that was introduced last year is the 1×1 90-Degree Round Elbow Brick, which looks very much like elbow macaroni… yum! There was an earlier version of this element produced between 1995 and 2008, but that piece did not have axle holders inside the end holes, and it only came in […] Read more

As there has been a lot of questions about the set, I thought to discuss some of the basics you need to know to get yourself familiar with the LEGO BOOST robotics system. So let’s […] Read more
