We recently discussed some of the new printed pieces by LEGO customizer EclipseGRAFX (see: EclipseGRAFX New Custom Printed LEGO Parts), and since then, they released even more new designs that I’m pretty excited about, and wanted to share with you as well. :) First of all, EclipseGRAFX is planning to release a whole series of […] Read more

At the recent BrickFair, Alabama LEGO convention and expo, LEGO customizer EclipseGRAFX unveiled some new custom printed LEGO pieces that are now also available at their online shop. And, they restocked some old favorites as well. So, I thought this was a good time to write up a little update on what they have. As […] Read more
As I mentioned in previous reviews, my second favorite construction toy brand after LEGO is Oxford from South Korea. It is the only brand that truly meets LEGO’s quality in almost every way. The look, feel, clutch-power, and precision of Oxford pieces are the same as LEGO’s, and the color-palette is pretty much the same […] Read more

Browsing through the catalog, I spotted two remote-controlled vehicles that look like were built of LEGO Technic pieces. The description in […] Read more
If you are a regular around here, you probably know that while I’m a lifelong LEGO fan, I have been also keeping an eye on the Mega Construx (formerly Mega Bloks) sets. I mostly pay attention to their collectors’ series, as I really like the fully articulated and very detailed micro action figures, and also […] Read more
As I mentioned a few times previously (see links at the end of this post), besides LEGO, I also occasionally collect Mega Construx (formerly Mega Bloks) figures. I don’t really care for their sets, as LEGO is providing plenty of building materials to work with, but I do like Mega’s small, fully detailed and articulated […] Read more
Some time back we talked about various musical instruments available for minifigures both directly from LEGO and LEGO customizers (see: LEGO Guitars & Other Musical Instruments). Since then, LEGO customizer BrickWarriors added a couple of new instruments that I really like and wanted to share with you. :) In the little medieval scene pictured above, […] Read more
One of my favorite LEGO customizers, EclipseGRAFX, recently released some really nice printed designs on standard LEGO 4×6 clear windowpanes. The LEGO Movie Poster Series includes small versions of LEGO movie posters for popular films, and the LEGO Stained Glass Series features beautiful stained glass windowpanes. I ordered a few of them, and I thought […] Read more
