  • Lego Review: 60271 Main Square

    Since I have not done a Lego review in a long time and that I just picked up the 60271 Main Square set and built it this morning, I figured it would be good to write up my thoughts on what looks like a grand set that in reality is somewhat controversial from my viewpoint…

  • Lego Chinese Knock Offs on Amazon

    While browsing through sets I wish I could afford on Amazon, I ran across what I initially believed to be an old Lego set that was being re-sold. To my disbelief, I found my first truly imitation Lego set that for me is an utter insult to the brand of Lego and poses a definitive…

  • My Secrets To Purchasing And Collecting Lego

    Lego is one of those toys that actually appreciates in value over time. And it’s quite quick to rise in value because people are pretty fanatical when it comes to collecting. As an experienced Lego collector, I wanted to share some tips on knowing when and what to buy Lego.

  • Lego: Determining Collectable/Valuable Sets

    I had been digging around my house while and managed to shore up various mint-in-box (MIB) Lego stuff I had from the mid to late 90’s. Some I knew would be worth something some day, which is why I picked them up long time ago. A friend of mine though had asked me how I…

  • Lego City Wishes

    In completing my Lego City review of the 10218 Pet Shop set, I decided to write up a small blog on a possible wish list. Right now, I’m quite happy with the direction Lego has gone with regards to the types of city structures. Most city structures over the years had a 2-3 revolving year…

    Lego 10218 Pet Shop Review

    The Lego 10218 Pet Shop City set is another modular downtown city structure that hard core town collectors will absolutely love. Like the other downtown city structures, this one is three stories high and can be connected via the sides to other downtown city structures. However, the building itself has an additional divider that allows…

  • Lego 4429 Helicopter Rescue Review

    Lego 4429 Helicopter Rescue Review

    Lego 4429 Helicopter Rescue is a good upgrade from the last hospital set, which was oddly built on a raised plate. At 425 pieces, this system feels like a mid sized hospital with a fair sized helicopter as one of the main components. It includes 4 figures, including one victim, a female paramedic, helicopter pilot…

  • Lego: Is the Company Direction Misguided?

    As an avid, life long collector of Lego, I feel compelled to speak on the direction of the company in recent years. I think overall Lego is quite possibly the best toy ever invented. What it inspires is unparalleled and the company deserves a great deal of credit for creating generations upon generations of inventive…

  • Lego 4207 City Garage Review

    Lego 4207 is actually an older set from 2012 that I just picked up. I hadn’t made a major Lego purchase in a while but I knew that I absolutely had to own this set. Essentially, the City Garage is a remake of the only other city garage type of system back from 1988 known…

  • Lego 60004 Fire Station Review

    As a long time fire station Lego collector, I’ve seen them all and I think I might have virtually every Lego fire station in existence. So imagine how pumped up I was in seeing this 2013’s newest edition: 60004. Entitled simply “Fire Station”, 60004 quite possibly is the most epic Lego fire station ever made.…
