Click & Snap: Playing With Your Food
They say you shouldn’t play with your food, but it’s fine when it’s made from plastic and worn by a minifigure. As LEGO® minifigures have become elaborate, they have donned all sorts of weird and wonderful outfits. This is most prevalent in the long-running LEGO Minifigures line and began back in 2015 with Series 13 and the Hot Dog Man.

Click & Snap: Snowflake Plaza 2021
Every year I, like many LEGO® fans, like to celebrate the festivities of Christmas through the magic of LEGO sets. The basis of most displays are the annually released Winter Village sets and as the years have gone on my display has become considerably larger. You can see how it began here and here.

Which inspired me to take the new LEGO® City Wildlife Rescue animals out into the wilds of my garden for a photo shoot. After...

Click & Snap: The Series 19 Crew
Ahead of my full review of the new series of LEGO® Minifigures, I’ve been taking some snaps of the new characters and sharing them on social media. So I thought it would be fun to collect them all together here for a new edition of Click & Snap. The series is filled some great new elements and characters with fun connections to past series. One of the great things about modern day Minifigures is they are very expressive,...
