This is actually the 3rd copy of the LEGO Unikitty Cloudcar in my house as my kids each have one too. I picked it up very cheaply because I think it’s a fun little set with great pieces and I’m looking forward to having her soaring over our LEGO City of Studsburg!

Join me as I build this sub $15 set and talk you through some of the history and thoughts I have on this set.

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

LEGO Ninjago Firstbourne – We bought a dragon!

LEGO Ninjago Firstbourne – We bought a dragon! We bought a dragon. I can’t believe it, but we did, and it’s fabulous! This is a set I’ve had my eye on for a while and finally got it on sale!

I’m a huge fan of Ninjago and Dragons, so this set is a double win for me! It’s hands down one of the best dragons that LEGO has delivered. Why do I say that? Well, first it’s huge and they’ve made good use of all of that size with an epic wingspan and wings that flap.

They’ve also made it looks awesome and filled with design details – including printed parts around the head.

And then there’s the other stuff that comes with the set. A superb lineup of minifgures and a helicopter that is hands down one of the most unique that LEGO has done in a long time! (I have too many helicopters, but this one is allowable).

Let’s Build! LEGO Movie 2 Rescue Rocket! 70831

March 17, 2019 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Let’s Build! LEGO Movie 2 Rescue Rocket! 70831. This is one of my favourite sets from the movie line up and I’ve been itching to get my hands on it. Given I plan to place the house version in our LEGO City, I’ve gone with the Rescue Rocket for the first build of this set! Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcuZcJQ48vE

From the very beginning, I was impressed with how solidly built this thing is! I was also slightly perplexed by some of the intricacies that went inside the lower part of the build – turns out they’re some clever missile launching tricks.

This whole set is oozing with fun and detail and the LEGO Designers have managed to make the build really fun and not at all repetitive. This took me about 90 minutes beginning to end and I would happily do it all again!

LUCKY LEGO SET FIND! Discontinued Creator House score!

March 12, 2019 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 2 minutes

LUCKY LEGO SET FIND! Discontinued Creator House score! Sometimes you are in the right place at the right time and spot something that you just didn’t expect to see! Especially not in a shop not known for good reductions.

This particular find was in David Jones here in Sydney. It’s a department store with a good selection of full-priced LEGO. Note the use of “full-priced”. So not somewhere to look for a bargain.

In this case, I was out on a lunchtime stroll and decided to pop in just in case. You know, as you do. After looking around for a little while, something looked out of place in the LEGO Creator section.

At first, I looked at it thinking it wasn’t real as it was a LEGO Set that was on my wishlist and is from a few years back that has long been discontinued. Then I picked up the box – which had clearly been found tucked away out back, so was a little beaten up. That’s when I saw a nice 33% off the original RRP! Nice! I’ll have that I thought.

Then I took it to the till. It rang up at 50% off. This lunchtime is getting better and better! Then I was asked to pay and it was another 20% off of that! So all up a saving of 60% on a discontinued, boxed LEGO set! Result!

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