Grab your minifigs and dust off your nostalgia, because in this episode we're taking a brick-built time machine back through the wild, wonderful world of LEGO Ideas—from its humble beginnings as LEGO CUUSOO to the fan-powered powerhouse it is today!

Join me as I review the entire LEGO Ideas theme, exploring its fascinating history, unexpected hits, legendary misses, and the impact it’s had on the LEGO community at large. From NASA rockets to 90s sitcom apartments, playable pianos to pirate ships, Ideas has brought fan creativity to life like no other LEGO theme out there. But here’s the big question: Is LEGO Ideas the greatest LEGO theme ever? Or is it just a chaotic mishmash of nostalgia, pop culture, and highly-specific fandom dreams?

I’ll be diving deep into the sets, the themes, the many surprises. Plus, I’ll be chatting about what the next 10 years of LEGO Ideas could look like. Modulars? More IPs? A giant brick-built goat? Anything is possible when the fans are in charge.

Whether you’re a lifelong AFOL, a casual builder, or someone wondering how a typewriter became a LEGO set, this video is your ultimate guide to the most unpredictable and creative theme in the LEGO universe.

Thanks for watching—and remember: all great ideas start with a single brick.

With LEGO’s brand-new Shelby Cobra 427 S/C set burning rubber into stores on July 1st, it felt like the perfect time to hit the gas and revisit the first LEGO Ford muscle car to ever grace the Creator Expert line—set 10265: the LEGO Ford Mustang.

Originally released in 2019, this 1,471-piece V8-powered beauty delivers everything you’d want in a brick-built American icon. From the dark blue paint job and white racing stripes to the detailed interior and working steering, this thing oozes horsepower—and nostalgia. Plus, with all the customizable mods (lifted rear, supercharger, side exhausts, nitrous tank!), this Mustang lets you flex your inner gearhead in style.

In this review, we’ll take a closer look at the model’s design, how well it holds up five years later, and whether it’s still worth hunting down for your collection—especially with the Shelby Cobra rolling into the LEGO Icons garage next.

So is this the definitive LEGO muscle car, or has the Mustang been overtaken in the fast lane? Grab a wrench—or at least your brick separator—and let’s find out together!

It’s another big week in the world of LEGO, and we’ve got a lot to talk about—so grab your bricks and buckle up because we’re kicking things off with the Bricklink Designer Program, where time is literally running out. Series 5 orders officially close on June 24th at 10AM CTE, so if there’s a set you’ve been eyeing, now’s the moment to act. Plus, if you’ve been patiently (or not-so-patiently) waiting on your Series 4 sets, good news—they should be shipping out very soon.

Next, we’re diving into the latest LEGO Ideas selections, and let’s just say... one of them is absolutely massive. Think building-sized, city-flattening, tail-swinging kind of massive. The other? Well… let’s just say it might not leave as much of an impression. I break down both new picks and what we can expect from the remaining LEGO Ideas sets coming in 2025.

And just when you think we’re done—I’ve saved the best for last: the brand-new LEGO Inside Tour set has been revealed! It’s jaw-droppingly good, loaded with exclusive details, and, of course, almost impossible for normal humans to actually own. But that won’t stop us from drooling over it together.

Rumors, reveals, and a few hot takes—it’s all here in this week’s episode. Let’s talk LEGO!

A Tipping Point: the point at which a series of small changes or incidents becomes significant enough to cause a larger, more important change.

In this episode, I’m diving deep into what might just be LEGO’s very own tipping point—hidden in plain sight in the latest Bricklink Designer Program pre-order release. On the surface, it’s a minor tweak. A blip. The kind of change most people would scroll past without a second thought. But I’m here to argue that this small adjustment might be the first domino in a chain reaction that could reshape the future of the Bricklink Designer Series—and maybe even LEGO itself.

Sound dramatic? Maybe. But history is full of these seemingly tiny decisions that—over time—become the moment everything changes. We’ve seen it before: beloved companies overstepping, underestimating their fan base, or pushing forward without realizing they’re slowly pulling the rug out from under their own foundation.

Could this be that moment for LEGO? Or is this the bold move that propels them into a new golden age of fan-driven design, investment-worthy sets, and deeper collaboration with the community?

In this episode, I’m not just reviewing a product release—I’m unpacking the broader implications, asking tough questions, drawing parallels to other industries, and yes, getting a little worked up along the way. This one’s part rant, part reflection, and all heart.

So grab your favorite brew (make it a strong one), because I’m going long. By the time we reach the end, you might be thinking I’ve completely lost my mind… or you might find yourself nodding along, wondering if this really is the moment where everything starts to shift.

Will LEGO follow the yellow brick road? Or are we watching the early steps down a more uncertain path?

Either way, this episode is one you don’t want to miss.

It’s been another jam-packed week in the world of LEGO—and if you thought things were slowing down, think again.

In this episode, we’re kicking things off with the long-awaited reveal of the Bricklink Designer Series 8 winners! That’s right—the finalists have been announced, and whether you’re on Team Train, Team University, or just here for the drama, you’re going to want to hear all the details. Which builds made the cut? Which surprises snuck through? And which fan favorites got left behind in a puff of brick-built smoke?

Plus, don’t forget—Series 5 pre-orders are officially live! So if you're still trying to decide what to snag before the sets vanish into LEGO legend, I’ve got some thoughts to help steer your choices. (Hint: now’s not the time to hesitate, or heck maybe it is because the rules have definitely changed, which should really help any slowpoke in the crowd.)

But wait—there’s more! We’re also zooming over to the latest news on this year’s LEGO Icons vehicle, and let’s just say LEGO may have outdone themselves this time. Is it a must-buy day one set, or should we let it drive quietly into the sunset? I’ll give you the full breakdown so you can judge for yourself.

And finally, we’re wrapping things up with some fresh GWP (Gift With Purchase) news. If you’re a fan of elegant estates, brooding glances, or characters named Mr. Darcy, then you’ll want to stick around until the end to find out what LEGO has planned—and when you can get your hands on it.

All that, a few hot takes, and your weekly round-up of LEGO rumors, reveals, and real talk.

Thanks for listening—and as always, may your bricks click perfectly and your wallets survive the week.

The official announcement for the Bricklink Designer Program Series 8 finalists is just around the corner—and before the internet explodes with opinions, hot takes, and broken “Buy Now” buttons, I figured it was time to throw my own brick-built hat into the ring.

In this episode, I’m diving into all 384 submissions and doing the impossible: narrowing them down to my Top 5 personal favorites. This is a totally subjective, moderately obsessive, and fully biased list of the sets I think deserve to be in the spotlight. From tiny, clever builds bursting with color and charm to 4000-piece monster models that practically shout “Display me immediately,” these are the designs that stopped me mid-scroll and made me say, “Yep, I need that.”

If you’re a fan of the Bricklink Designer Program—or if you just love unique LEGO creations that push the limits of what’s possible—this is absolutely a video you won’t want to miss. I’ll break down what makes each of my picks special, why they stand out from the crowd, and whether they’ve got what it takes to become the next big fan-funded set.

And of course, a huge congratulations in advance to all the designers out there. Narrowing this down was beyond tough, and I genuinely wish I could have picked them all. The creativity on display this round has been nothing short of incredible.

So if you’re wondering what sets to keep your eye on, or just want to see which builds made me gasp out loud in front of my computer, grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy the countdown.

Buckle up, brickheads, because this week’s LEGO news roundup is PACKED with juicy rumors, big reveals, and at least one moment where I question all of reality. In this episode:

Bricklink Designer Program – Series 5 alert! Set your alarms, charge your devices, and maybe light a candle for good luck, because Series 5 goes live TOMORROW! But that’s not all—there are earthshattering whispers about the 30K set limit being tossed out the window. What’s replacing it? Nobody knows! Chaos? Glory? A new LEGO golden age? Or is it the start of my favorite new programs demise? We’ll dive into it.

LEGO One Piece Sets – Official images are HERE! There are 7 new sets, they look well…interesting, and while I personally know nothing about One Piece (don’t come for me), I’m 99% sure these are going to make anime fans lose their minds—in a good way, I hope.

How to Train Your WHAT Now? I stumbled upon what might be the weirdest LEGO set yet… and I have questions. So many questions.

August Star Wars Rumors – The hype is real (and expensive) Some of the rumored sets sound absolutely incredible—but if the price leaks are legit, you might need to sell a kidney, a few UCS sets, or both to get your hands on them.

This is your weekly dose of LEGO chaos, packed with laughs, rants, and maybe a sprinkle of helpful information to help you decide what to buy… or not buy… or preemptively hide from your wallet. Listen now and get caught up before the leaks become legends.

AUTOBOTS, ROLL… OUT INTO LEGO? That’s right—LEGO Optimus Prime (Set 10302) is here, and yes, he actually transforms without disassembly. It’s real. It’s epic. It’s ICONS. And in this video, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about this brick-built Cybertronian leader before he rolls out into retirement.

Originally released in June 2022 as part of the LEGO ICONS line, this $180, 1508-piece set is STILL available—but probably not for long. So, if you’ve been on the fence, this is your moment to decide: Prime-time purchase or pass?

Plus, a quick rewind to LEGO history: Remember when Kre-O (yep, that South Korean brand) made Transformers sets back in 2011? Yeah, they disappeared faster than Starscream in a leadership meeting. But thanks to Hasbro teaming up with LEGO, we now have the Optimus we never thought we’d get—complete with printed parts, 10 bags, 5 stickers, and about a million nostalgia points.

And as a bonus tease… Soundwave is coming this summer, so if you're building a brick army of Autobots and Decepticons, it starts here. Whether you’re a LEGO fan, a Transformers die-hard, or just someone who likes watching a grown man geek out over plastic robots, this video is for you.

Hit play and find out if Optimus Prime deserves a spot on your shelf—or if he's just a very expensive truck with trust issues.
