LEGO Batman Movie Minibuild Booklet The LEGO Batman Movie is currently ruling the world, winning hearts (and funny bones) with its family-centric story. But of course, just like with 2014's The LEGO Movie , everybody knows that the fun extends way beyond the movie... Personally, the release of  The LEGO Batman Movie  couldn't be any more timely. It's the perfect way to destress after weeks and weeks of tension. A good friend of mine calls this brick therapy . My wife and I didn't really plan anything Batman last Saturday, but it instantly became a LEGO Batman day for us. It all started after our meeting that morning. We stopped by a nearby Martins to pick up a copy of The Times to claim a Batman in the Phantom Zone [ 30522 ] polybag. But to our horror, the clerk said they didn't receive any LEGO! Later on, I have read in some forums that there has been indeed some issues with that promotion. Good thing there's an alternative to that. You can simply claim it onl...

LEGO Star Wars Magazine Issue 20 The LEGO Star Wars Magazine Issue 20 is now available, and it's continuing the rebel streak! This month's free gift is the Ghost! How do you follow up last month's Kanan Jarrus minifigure? Throw away his (or rather Hera's) ship in the mix! The Ghost finally received the microbuild treatment in Issue 20 of the LEGO Star Wars Magazine. The building experience is a lot of fun. The microbuild really resembles the modified VCX-100 light freighter. My only complaint is there's no micro-Phantom, or at least a space for it. Overall, it is a solid build. I super love it! By the way, the transparent stand is not included. The Ghost On 8 March, Issue 21 comes out, and it looks like there's no stopping with the rebel streak, for next month's cool toy is the Imperial Combat Driver! He may look rather familiar if you own a certain someone's speeder bike (more on this next month), but it's a free minifigure! Thank you  LEGO Star War...

LEGO Batman Movie Chaos in Gotham City With the release of The LEGO Batman Movie comes an array of promotional materials and merchandise. The town (or city, wherever you may be) is literally painted with  bats ! (Can I take home the cute bus stop ad?). Because of the vast advertising coverage, it's quite impossible to get all LEGO Batman Movie -related stuff. The solution? Get the essentials! And one of them is the  LEGO Batman Movie Chaos in Gotham City activity book. Just like any other LEGO activity books, Chaos in Gotham City is filled with fun trivia, puzzles, and comics. I find this book more colorful (and not to mention cuter) compared to its contemporaries, maybe because the content is free-spirited in itself. But what makes this activity book a must-have? It's the exclusive Tartan Batman minifigure! Tartan Batman I have a confession to make. I have to Google what tartan means to know what it is exactly. I know that this Batman minifigure wears plaid patterns th...

LEGO Star Wars Magazine Issue 19 The LEGO Star Wars Magazine's latest issue is already out in the market and it's a great, great start. Issue 19's free gift is none other than the rebel jedi himself, Kanan Jarrus! I so love the team behind the LEGO Star Wars Magazine for not skipping a month (I have a hunch that this is the bestselling  title  among its contemporaries, so it's a win-win situation). But a greater reason to love them is that they've finally given as a free minifigure! And it's Kanan Jarrus! Kanan Jarrus The minifigure may have been the same figure from the Wookie Gunship [75084] and Kanan's Speeder Bike [75141] sets, but nonetheless it's still awesome! This is the cheapest way to officially get hold of a Kanan minifig. By the way, it's just now that I've realized that when the Kanan minifigure first came out in The Ghost [75053] set, his hair, eyebrows, and goatee was black instead of the accurate brown. The free minifigure also co...

LEGO Nexo Knights Magazine Issue 11 LEGO Nexo Knights Magazine Issue 11 is now available, and it includes two gifts! Or so I thought. (Sort of) bad news first. The advertised free gift  Sand Tornado Nexo Power is printed in the magazine itself. It is scannable, yes, but it's on paper. For those like me who expected it printed on a LEGO piece, we have to look elsewhere. I guess it's just rational to look forward to one after receiving the Minify Surprise Nexo Power in physical form three issues ago. But that doesn't matter, because the real star of this issue is the Pilot Bot! Pilot Bot I just simply adore these cute little Squirebots! And having another official variant is a big check in my Nexo Knights list. I always enjoy building Squirebots. I find their design really ingenious, in the sense that the small pieces, both in size and number, produce such charming minions. And the diastema (sorry, gap teeth) never fails to induce a smile. The Pilot Bot can be appreciated mo...

Snowglobe [40223] Happy holidays everyone! What's a better way to celebrate the festivities than bricktacularly? For my wife and I, this will be our first time celebrating the holidays in the United Kingdom. To divert our attention from homesickness, we both turned to (as one of my closest friends would describe it) brick therapy. Without realizing it, our Christmas 2016 haul instantly grew (mainly due to the freebies). LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar [75146] The first set on this list is the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar [75146]. As you can see here , I bought it as early as September when it first came out. My wife had to make a note on the box, wrap it, and hide it in plain sight in order to ensure that I'll be able to delay my gratification. I wasn't able to do a daily blog as planned, but I made a gallery post to compensate. Come November, on the opening of the  new London Leicester Square LEGO Store, we acquired the bulk of our holiday sets. For going there really ea...

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar 2016 [75146] It's already the 24th of December, and today marks the end of the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar [75146]... As my first advent calendar, I immensely enjoyed the 2016 version of my favorite brick theme from a galaxy far, far away. Opening a door everyday (or in my case every other day or two) and discovering each surprise gave me simple festive joys. Snow Chewbacca, U-3PO, and the Hoth Snowman are few of the notable ones. The microbuilds were also ingeniously designed using only a small number of bricks. What's behind Doors 1 to 24? I initially planned to do a daily blog on this, but my long work hours didn't permit me to do so. So, here is a simple gallery to present my little holiday babies: Day 1: Slave I Day 2: Bespin Guard Day 3: TIE Interceptor Day 4: Imperial Navy Trooper Day 5: Anti-infantry Battery Day 6: Snowtrooper Day 7: Hoth Snowman Day 8: P-Tower Day 9: Hoth Rebel Trooper Day 10: Republic Attack Cruiser Day 11: Armore...
