LEGO are more than a cool building toy for kids, they are a series of collectible parts and figurines that can increase substantially in value over the years. Perhaps the most desired theme is the Star Wars one, and those Minifigures can command quite a price, especially when they are in mint condition. Here are the top Rare Lego Star Wars Figures, including tips on identification, storage, and value.
Continue reading Rare Lego Star Wars FiguresAre you wondering how to start a LEGO blog?
You may have heard that Blogging is dead. I can tell you that In fact is it is still alive and well! Maybe you have thought about it for a while, but just don’t realize how easy it is to set up.
Will LEGO be collaborating with Disney for a new Home Alone Set?
How cool would it be to see the McCallister House built with LEGO and full of traps and pitfalls for the robbers? The If you ask me it’s the perfect idea for a LEGO set. Tons of Playability.
While I was researching the new LEGO Disney Train and Station Set, I came across a blog post on HypeBeast that said:
“Disney’s CEO Bob Iger announced that the company will be rebooting Home Alone, Night at the Museum and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.”
Gabrielle Leung for Hypebeast
I don’t know about you, but I think it would be unusual for LEGO to get all 3 different up and running. Like I mentioned I do see a Home Alone set as a possibility, and perhaps the Diary of a Wimpy Kid as Duplo type set, but I have a hard time imagining the Night at the Museum LEGO set. LEGO has been busy with lots of Disney Sets lately, as well as creating other popular series and movies like the Simpsons, Ghostbusters, the Flintstones, and the Friends show from NBC.
It was also mentioned that Disney is bringing these back for their new Streaming Service Disney+ Because of the close ties between Disney and LEGO I wonder if any other LEGO shows (like Ninjago) will appear on that new platform, but that is the topic for a different blog post.
Are you looking for one of the new LEGO CMF Series 19 Minifigures? We have them in stock, and available for immediate shipping today! No need to drive around looking for a store that might have them. No need to feel the bag to see if you are going to get the minifig you want, only to spend money on the wrong one when you open it.
We have every single Series 19 Minifigure in stock. Verified 100% original LEGO, and available now.
When the series was first announced this is what I wrote:
Here are the details I know so far. There will be 16 character minifigures (see list below). The release date for the new 71025 LEGO minifigures is probably going to be September of 2019. The cost will most likely be the same as other series, and priced at $4.95. Plus it seems there are at least 5 female characters!
This set follows the extremely popular LEGO Disney Series 2 CMF. There were some people that subscribed to the site to be notified when the series was released and they were able to get their minifigures a few days before release by pre-ordering.
Now that the series has dropped, we will ship them to you immediately. These blind bags will be opened to verify contents, but you will receive the minifigure you request, as well as any accessories, inserts, or extra pieces, plus the bag. Ordering early locks in the lowest price, and guarantees delivery of the exact minifigure you want without having to search, feel, and guess the contents of each bag.

The other day I did a quick google search for a list of all the new sets that include the Plants from Plants elements.
If you haven’t heard, LEGO® has made a public commitment to change from petroleum based plastics to plant based materials by 2030. I know it seems like 2030 is a long time in the future, but in reality it is only 12 years away. Where will you be in 12 years?
Currently only trees, leaves, and other botanical objects are made from this new plant based plastic. Sugarcane, yes the stuff sugar comes from is the base, and it is identical in composition to all other LEGO® bricks previously made.
That means there is no way to tell the difference between the old trees and the new trees.
Right now, only two sets have the Plants from Plants elements.
The first set was released in the late summer of 2018 as a promotional set with a purchase at LEGO® stores. I picked up a few, and I am unable to tell the difference between old and new trees bushes, and plants.
Set 40320 – Plants from Plants came with:
16 Green 30176 Bamboo Leaves 3X3
4 Lime green 2423 Limb Element, Small
3 Green 6064 Bush
2 Green 2435 Spruce Tree, Small
4 Green 6148 Palmleaf, Small
The second set to feature the LEGO® Plants from Plants is 10268, the new VESTAS Wind Turbine. Moving towards green energy and sustainability, it was an obvious choice for this set to have the new eco friendly parts.
The wind turbine came with 2 large trees, 1 small tree, 2 bushes, and 5 flower stalks. I’m not sure the flower stalks are made from the new plant based plastics, but I am guessing they are. The item number is 6135278 which is the same for all other flower bases. When I compare it with the item number for a tree (347128) from the same set, I get similar results. It looks like there won’t be an easy way to differentiate the old vs new.
Until then, we will have to look for the Plants from Plants logo.
Personally, I’m very excited for this change. Our world has limited resources, and I want to make this a better place for future generations. How about you?
When I can’t build LEGO, I turn to YouTube to watch others build LEGO.
I watch everything from set reviews, to MOCS, to trains, to organization, and everything in between.
This page has my 30+ favorite LEGO Youtubers, and i think I have it set up so that it imports the most recent videos from each of the creators and builders
