On August 25th, I went to my local ToysRUs store, looking for Series 14 minifigures and any other cool LEGO deals. Instead, I stumbled upon the new 2015 City Advent Calendar! It looks like a really nice one, with many awesome pieces!
Check out the pictures in the video! |

This past weekend I attended BrickFair New England 2015. It was a great convention with many great MOCs and vendors. Though slightly smaller than BrickFair VA, which I was lucky to attend in 2013, it was still fun.
I made of video of many of the MOCs on display at the convention; check it out on my YouTube channel! |

Today I received a VIP only advertisement from LEGO in the mail. It was promoting a new LEGO Store "Pick-a-Model" feature coming to LEGO Stores this month. This is very similar to their monthly model building program, but this offers more of a variety, as you can pick from several models to build. Each model is $4.99.
Check out the video I posted on my YouTube channel to see the piece of mail I received! |

Recently, there have been photos released of LEGO The Simpsons Minifigures (Series 2). This series includes a bunch of new figures, such as Patty and Zelma, along with a bunch new takes on old figures. These figures are expected to come out within the year, possibly in May or June by some people's calculations.
Looks like another fantastic set of Simpsons figures to purchase! |

Many things have happened in about 2 years! New site updates! Tons of new waves of sets! Too much to talk about! But I'm excited to buy some of the new Age of Ultron/Marvel sets coming out in a few months! So far they look awesome! Expect reviews on those when they come out!
In other news, the S.H.E.I.L.D. Helicarrier came out for VIP members in the past few days! Awesome looking set as well! Though, it's sadly too expensive for me at $349 in the US. |

Once again I haven't posted on here in quite a while! My bad!
There has been a lot of news this year from Ninjago retiring to many exciting new waves of sets coming out. A new set coming out in 2013 that I'm excited about is set 10232 Palace Cinema. It looks like the best modular building I have seen in quite a while. It is the first modular that show cases the new labeling for the Creator sets. This particular Creator set is an expert build. I will definitely consider purchasing this set when it comes out!

Happy April Fools Day!
Well I have some somewhat sad news today, I have just learned that Lego is moving all production to China. In the surprising announcement from Lego last night, they said that quality comes after cost and that in order to compete with other brands, the move needs to happen. This move already started happening a few months ago since some minifigures are now made in China. Any minifig that is packed separately from a set is made in China. As a result of the move, the plant in Billund will close.
