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. Since then over foodstuffs have inspired other similar costumed Food Mascots....
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. What was once a single level village with a few buildings, is now a wonder some multi-level plaza. So Snowflake Village is no more and my...
Click & Snap: LEGO 2021 Holiday Gift
As a LEGO® Ambassador, I’m lucky enough to receive a wonderful Christmas gift from the folks at the LEGO Group. It’s not just us Ambassadors who are graced by some festive generosity. Every year members of the LEGO Design Teams create festive-themed sets, with one being chosen to become the set gifted at Christmas. The chosen set then gets given to all LEGO employees. Thanks to the AFOL Engagement Team, all of the Ambassadors and...
Click & Snap: LEGO Animals Of Wildlife Rescue
When I was younger, I used to place those cheap animals they sell in zoo gift shops, in the garden and took pictures of them. Once the film was taken to the chemist and had been developed, I could marvel at my work. One image of a toy elephant even fooled a couple of people who thought it was a real elephant. 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,...
Click & Snap: Stranger Things Will The Wise
The third season of Stranger Things has been available on Netflix for a couple of weeks now. It’s an incredible programme and if you haven’t watched it already, I highly recommend it. During the new series, Will Byers tries to get the gang to play a Dungeon & Dragons campaign. So he’s dons his outfit to become Dungeon Master Will the Wise. Inspired by this moment I decided to recreate Will the Wise using the new...
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...
Click & Snap: LEGO Employee Christmas Gift
Every year the LEGO Group gifts each of their employees a very special festive LEGO® set. The process starts in April, with various LEGO designers pitching their ideas for what the special set could be. Then Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, grandson of the founder of LEGO, picks his favourite. This year’s set has been created by Carl Merriam and the theme of this year’s gift is 40 years of LEGO Minifigures. As well as LEGO...
