What's the perfect LEGO birthday present for a LEGO enthusiast (excluding the big box sets, of course)? The LEGO Birthday Table Decoration [40153]!

I recently celebrated my 30th birthday last month, and one of the gifts my ever-supportive wife gave me is the Birthday Table Decoration [40153] set. It is the perfect centerpiece in the festive table (and the perfect announcement of your current age).

The iconic table decoration was released in the summer of 2015, retailing at £6.99 / $9.99 / 7.99€. It measures over 3” high, 3” wide, and 3” deep. It comes with buildable age numbers from 1 to 99 (poor centenarians). The official spiel says that it includes a jester minifigure, but the truth is it includes only half a minifigure. I really wish that LEGO has provided the jester his brick legs so that he can stand on his own. The jester is used in the set's pop-up function, revealing a cute birthday surprise. The set comes with a lot of colorful decorative elements, and translucent flame elements.

The building experience is a lot of fun, with all the different colors and layers. The final build resembles a mini cake that looks good enough to eat. The pop-up function seems stable enough that there's no need to worry if the top will detach and fly to the nearby food. I also love the size of the box. It is just enough to fit the final build without disassembling anything.

A quick customization of this set can make it fit to any birthday party theme. It's as easy as substituting the bricks with other colors to match the motif. Or changing the jester to any other minifigure the celebrant favors. For my wife's birthday next year, I was thinking of making a Disney themed birthday table decoration. Sounds like a plan...

The Birthday Table Decoration [40153] is truly a perfect birthday gift for any LEGO fan...

LEGO star wars go rogue

Death Star [75159] (Photo grabbed from  https://www.facebook.com/LEGO/photos ) With the upcoming release of  Rogue One: A Star Wars Story , almost everything is painted black, or going rogue, and that includes the toys... LEGO recently announced the future release (or re-release, depending on your perspective) of the Death Star [75159] Ultimate Collector Series set just in time for the showing of the first film in the Star Wars Anthology Series. The set will retail for US $499.99 / UK £399.99.  A lot of AFOLs are crying foul that the new set is a recycled version of the recently retired Death Star [10188] set with only a few upgrades ( It's a Star Wars recurring theme! ). Personally, I think the LEGO Death Star play set design is great. Maybe it's too great that LEGO is trying to make it close to evergreen. The first Death Star [10188] lasted for about eight years. Who knows how long will the second Death Star [75159] last? This also gives the chance for people like me (who rec

LEGO star wars magazine: issue 15

LEGO Star Wars Magazine Issue 15 LEGO Star Wars Magazine Issue 15 has just been released , and this month's free gift is the iconic AT-AT! The All Terrain Armored Transport, or AT-AT for short, is a four-legged combat walker used by the Empire's  ground forces . It first appeared   in The Empire Strikes Back , then prominently featured in Star Wars Rebels , and, more recently, also seen in The Force Awakens (as background wreckage). Older versions seems to be in the  Rogue One: A Star Wars Story , but they may (or may not) be under a different name ( UPDATE: They are apparently called All Terrain Armored Cargo Transport or AT-ACT ).  Being one of the most famous symbols of the Empire's military might, it's no surprise that the AT-AT is the microbuild of Issue 15 . AT-AT So far, the AT-AT is my favorite magazine microbuild (next to the  Naboo Starfighter). I simply love its minimalist look. With only 48 brick pieces, it's a wonder that it accurately represented the i
