Introduction In 1903, two North Carolina brothers broke the binds gravity had held on us for thousands of years.

LEGO City might seem like a relatively grounded brand. After all, it’s meant to resemble an actual city with streets and buildings. But this is …
Normally, I view Lego building as a solo activity, and all the other sets I’ve reviewed for Brick Set Go have been ones I assembled alone.
