The Building Bricks From Earth To The Moon
As the world marks the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon, it’s the perfect opportunity to take a little look at some of the LEGO® sets which have been inspired by the work of NASA. Beyond sets which have been directly inspired by real life space missions, that monumental moment in 1969 changed popular culture forever. It inspired everything from the Jetsons, to the Clangers and more obviously Star Wars. It...
BricksChatz – Bricks McGee
Last year I partook in an AFOL interview for Bricks McGee aka Richard Carter, who has returned the favour by being the subject of the latest BricksChatz interview. Richard has in hands in many different LEGO® related projects from commission builds to community get togethers, not to mention are passion for LEGO trains. All of which he speaks about below. Q1.

Click & Snap: That Is One Big Pile Of Bricks
One of my favourite films is Jurassic Park, I fondly remember going to see in the cinema multiple times way back in 1993. I would of been just 10 years old and I remember being a mixture of scared but amazed at seeing dinosaurs being brought to life. So I was delighted when it was revealed we would be getting a LEGO® Jurassic World theme. Although based on the new trilogy, we have been treated to a set based on the Raptor kitchen...

With Avengers Endgame being in cinemas for over a week now, and it’s global box office smashing through the $2 billion mark; it’s time to see how well the LEGO® sets compared to the on screen action. Be warned this will be a somewhat spoilery look at the various LEGO Avengers set released a few weeks ago and the plot points in Marvel Studios Avengers Endgame. So if you haven’t seen the movie yet turn back, before...
LEGO Gaming From A Galaxy Far, Far Away
A long time ago, in galaxy far, far away, two iconic brands would be bought together to create an entirely new genre of video game. With the LEGO® Star Wars sets helping to reverse the fortunes of The LEGO Group, a little known band of rebel games devs from Traveller’s Tales had an idea to bring these sets to life in a video game. The LEGO Group were still fairly new to the gaming scene but they were on board and Lucasfilm fresh...
LEGO Disney Minifigures Perfect Partnerships
Before I take a more detailed look at the upcoming series of LEGO® Minifigures, I thought it would be fun to take a look at the partnerships formed with the characters in the new series as well as the previous series. In the first series of LEGO Disney Minifigures, most characters could be linked with a fellow on-screen buddy, but in the new series there are no ‘billy no mates’. There are also character in the new series...
A Look At LEGO…. Microscale
I think we can all agree that LEGO® Minifigures are pretty awesome, for the past 40 odd years they have been inhabiting LEGO sets and beyond, adding an extra level of fun to LEGO play. But sometimes their small stature can be a too little big to create the prefect LEGO recreation of various vehicles, building or locations. Over the years Microscale builds have become more commonplace in LEGO sets, from entire themes like LEGO...
