Happy 20th Harry Potter!

Or more appropriately, Happy 20th anniversary Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone! Can you believe it?! The book that started all the magic in the Wizarding World was first published twenty years ago today in the United Kingdom! Man, I feel old, haha! Though, for me, it won't be until the dawn of the new millennium that I have first opened the pages of this enchanting book. Regardless, I still feel old, haha! But seriously now, thank you very much Harry for letting me accompany you in your adventures, and grow up with you on the process. And I think most importantly, thank you for introducing me to a whole lot of wonderful people, not only in your world but also in mine. Of course when I say Harry, I truly meant the virtuoso behind it all. To Joanne Kathleen Rowling, thank you very much for adding magic in my childhood!

(P.S. I almost forgot that this is a LEGO fan blog, so thank you LEGO for translating the Wizarding World into brick form. Awesome! Oh, and my LEGO Harry Potter visited the studio tour as well.)

LEGO nexo knights magazine issue 10

LEGO Nexo Knights Issue 10 The LEGO Nexo Knights Magazine Issue 10 is currently on sale, and there's more than one free gift! Before everything else, I would like to apologize for two things. First, for the brief hiatus. Life happened . I'll still try to blog as often as possible though. I'll try my best. Second, for this very tardy post. Issue 10 came out last 16 November but for some reason our local shops don't have it. I have to literally travel downhill to purchase one in the big supermarket. Fortunately, they still have a few on the shelf. And to my surprise, it's a bumper issue! That means it's £1 more expensive. But good thing my bonus toy is a Lava Warrior, so that basically offsets the extra pound. And who says no to army building? I wonder what the others got... Lava Warrior Issue 10's free gift is insanely cool! Ladies and gentlemen, the Mech Bot! Mech Bot The Mech Bots are featured heavily in this issue's comics. They were worn by the Nexo K...

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 f...

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 accuratel...
