Like a lot of young kids, my daughter absolutely loves animals and LEGO. She cannot get enough of making it, but most importantly playing with it! Every opportunity my kids want to go into the LEGO room to play with one of the sets or dive into our LEGO City of Studsburg.

This LEGO Friends set is Mia’s Foal Stable (41361) which is perfect for Cali as an already accomplished LEGO Master Builder (she love playing with LEGO). But, it features horses which is something she absolutely loves to make with her Duplo! She has such a beautiful, creative imagination already and just loves role playing with her toys.

Join us as we build and play with this great little play set! The is an unboxing and speed in HD so you can freeze it at any point if you want to see any of the detail. Cali, as you can tell, was very happy to be playing with this set and building LEGO with her Daddy!

Happy Monday LEGO Build and play! LEGO Movie 2 – Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi (set 70824)

May 6, 2019 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 2 minutes

HAPPY MONDAY LEGO SET BUILD AND PLAY! LEGO Movie 2 – Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi (70824)! Joss picked this set to build. Join us and meet the awesome Banarnar, but be quick because she has to show her mum first! And she now does the channel intro better than me!

I took the girls shopping with me and let them both pick out a set. This is the one that Joss choose out of everything. Now, I will confess I was not too impressed at first with this set, but after building it – and seeing just how happy it made her – I have changed my mind!

We had a blast building and playing with this set! She’s such a delight and does so much herself without me now. I help with picking the LEGO Bricks out and the occasional slightly confusing bit in the manual but otherwise, she’s getting quite advanced!

Thank you LEGO! You make us so happy!

From the Official Description:
Join Lucy and meet the shape-shifting Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi for the first time with THE LEGO® MOVIE 2™ 70824 Introducing Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi toy building set.

This fun-packed building toy features a brick-built Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi in horse form with a rotating platform, plus 4 interchangeable face expression decorations for when you rebuild the shape-shifting queen into pile-of-bricks form.

This THE LEGO MOVIE 2 set also includes a buildable Banarnar character, Sweet Mayhem and Susan mini-dolls, and a Lucy minifigure.

LEGO Star Wars Corellian Corvette Tantive IV 75244 Unboxing and Speed Build!

May 4, 2019 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 2 minutes

LEGO Star Wars Corellian Corvette Tantive IV 75244 Unboxing and Speed Build! This is an unboxing and Speed Build of the brand new, 20th Anniversary Star Wars set built at the LEGO Store here in Sydney!

Check out our LEGO CITY UPDATE 13 Star Wars Day Celebrations video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTFB3ZqRtAI

My friend was lucky enough to be in the LEGO Store at the Pick-A-Brick wall (getting some parts for me ironically) and the staff asked him if he wanted to build the set for them. Luckily he said yes and even filmed it for me.

Before I continue please go and give @reganranada on Instagram (and thank him for filming it for me!): https://www.instagram.com/reganranada/

Watching the set being built, it looks amazing! I’m a big fan of this ship design and it’s a set I’ve always wanted (and now want even more!). Star Wars has always had a great variety of designs.

And if you didn’t realise, the Corellian Corvette is literally the first ship we ever saw (then you quickly forget it as the immense Star Destroyer dwarfs everything).

See my trains running at 15:00

And check out my latest LEGO City Trains video about the Hogwarts Express: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS0adkBJcGI

The LEGO engineers have been busy all over Studsburg adding new areas and details. And as always the Minifigure Brickizens of Studsburg are happily playing in their LEGO City!

I’ve pulled some of my LEGO Star Wars sets into the city for this update to celebrate Star Wars day with the minifgures. I’ve used a lot of my Star Wars minifigures (not all). The Millennium Falcon (75105) from the Force Awakens back in 2015 and still a brilliant set. I’ve also got the microfighters getting involved as everyone scrambles into the LEGO Store to check out the new Corellian Corvette Tantive IV (75244) set.

There’s a lot of Ninjago creeping into the city finally, and the Stormbringer dragon has paid the city a visit too – and crushed a taxi. Oops! And there’s a temple rising in the Ninjago district.

The Studsburg LEGO Train loop is finally up and running again too after heavy maintenance! Crossing the Ninjago City bridge into the train depot, you can check out some fabulous views of the trains crossing the bridge. Studsburg Central Station has also started construction.

And with that great news, the 2019 Passenger Train (60197), 2018 Hogwarts Express (75955), 2010 Passenger Train (7938) and the 2014 Cargo Train (60052) are all running at the end of this video, so be sure to check that out at minute 15:00.

LEGO Creator Expert and Unikitty Haul = Fairground play time?

May 1, 2019 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 3 minutes

LEGO Creator Expert and Unikitty Haul = Fairground play time? Join Joss and me (and a screaming baby) as I share a special memory of a trip we had to New York City when she was young! The Creator Expert set brings back some fond memories of her when she was younger. And we LOVE Unikitty in our house so come to the Unikingdom with us!

First up, an apology. I had not realised our baby was crying the loudly – I was in the zone (and my wife is with her). So that is why there is background music. And she’s teething if you’re wondering why she’s crying – poor nugget.

So we went to New York City 2 years ago when Joss was still only 2. In DUMBO – Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass – there is a spectacular old Carousel, called Jane’s Carousel. It’s was built in 1922 and was preserved under a glass roof and makes children very happy! We ended most of our days taking the kids on it! If you want to know more, you can read it here!

So that inspired me to get the LEGO Creator Expert Carousel (10257). It’s a beautiful LEGO set and really captured the magic of the Fairground for me. I’m hoping I can do something to make it look a little bit like Jane’s Carousel. Perhaps with a simple roof and some tiling. And I’ll probably rename it to Joss’ Carousel.

The other set in this haul is LEGO Unikitty: Unikingdom Fairground Fun (41456). This is a set that my wife insisted I get as our house really loves how much fun – and how crazy – the Unikitty cartoon is. And this set really captures that! But, when it goes into our LEGO City, Studsburg, it will be converted to be minifigure friendly with Unikitty and her Pals working in the park!

And, as you can tell, Joss was itching to get on with the next video which was building a LEGO Movie 2 set that she had picked out for herself!

Let me know what you think along with suggestions when you’ve finished watching the video and don’t forget to like it!
