Sets

I like to consider myself an imaginative person. That’s why I’m a fan of space and fantasy LEGO sets. Yet even given that, LEGO City is still my favorite line. 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 […]

LEGO and the police have always gone together very well. This synergy is largely because LEGO City has been such a fundamental brand for the building blocks, and the police are a fundamental part of any city. And when it comes to the police, it’s hard to think of a stronger symbol than the cop

The 70s were an exciting time. I assume. I wasn’t actually there and lack the magical ability to see the past. (Beyond having the same capacity with Google that most of us do.) However, my mother was there during this time and was also a LEGO fan. Fortunately for me, she was also a massive

As a kid, I wanted to be a paleontologist. While I eventually decided to follow other career plans, I always retained my fascination with dinosaurs and prehistoric life.

And with so much variety, it’s hard to find an idea that can’t be made real through cleverness and patience. Dragons are a testament to this notion. Before

An argument can be made that LEGO police sets are the backbone of all of LEGO. I was a big fan of many different LEGO lines growing up. I enjoyed building fantasy sets and especially sci-fi sets from space. And, of course, it’s hard not to love building some of their license sets from my

Having been a comic fan all my life, I’m well aware of the heated debates that can arise when discussing the differences between Marvel and DC. And this doesn’t just go for the comics themselves. Nothing is off-limits. Video games, action figures, movies (both animated and live-action), and shows (again, both animated and live-action) are
