Architect Jeffrey Pelletier has amassed a collection of a quarter of a million LEGO pieces in the basement of his family’s 1902 Seattle home. He completely remodeled this old house, including the basement that now serves as a LEGO room and media room. A great place for Jeffrey to work on his architectural models and to play with his kids. I love seeing LEGO spaces like this! So serene and peaceful, yet so inviting for creativity! 🙂

LEGO Room by Jeffrey Pelletier

The 250,000 LEGO pieces are organized in 153 IKEA bins and 189 Sterilite drawers in a custom-built shelving-system that is placed around the room. This allows floor-to-ceiling organization and leaves plenty of open space in the middle for building. Watch the video to see how Jeffrey organizes all those gold bricks, yellow heads, countless gears and more.

Even if you don’t have this amount of LEGO, or a dedicated LEGO room right now, it is a good idea keep whatever you have organized. This allows you to display your masterpieces nicely, and also to find all the pieces you need when you are building. Various binds and drawers are readily available at department stores, and they are not very expensive. If you don’t want to drive around looking for bins, you can also take advantage of Amazon, which has a large selection of storage solution for LEGO fans, including the Sterilite drawers featured in the video. Below are some links where you can find them:

And as far as the minifigure, you might remember the craze when the first White Boba Fett was released back in 2010. Originally it was given away in limited quantities, everybody wanted one, and the minifig was going for astronomical prices on the secondary market. Later there was a second, somewhat more expanded polybag release, but still not enough to satisfy everyone. So the price on the secondary market – although dropped some – continues to be around $75, which is still quite steep for one minifig.

That fact that now you can get a White Boba Fett that costs less than $20 (and you also get an awesome book with it) is a very big deal. And this new Boba Fett is even nicer than the original – at least in my opinion. It comes with the new style helmet and detailed leg printing, whereas the previous Boba Fett had the old style helmet and printing only on the torso. I think having such major distinctions between the two minifigs is a win-win arrangement. It allows LEGO Star Wars fans who were never able to get the original White Boba Fett to get the newer one for a great price, and it also keeps the value and the uniqueness of the original one intact – which should make collectors happy.

If you are a LEGO Star Wars fan, I highly recommend you get LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded version. You really can’t go wrong with this book; it is beautiful. And the value, specialty and uniqueness of the White Boba Fett minifigure is undisputable.
