75904 Mystery Mansion
In the last of my Hallowe’en builds (for this year, at least), I always build 75904 Mystery Mansion. Like 75902, it’s not really a Hallowe’en set, but it has enough spooky things in it that I figure that it counts. I love this set mostly because it provides the Daphne and Velma minifigures, so between…

75902 The Mystery Machine
While not technically a Hallowe’en set, I always assemble my Scooby-Doo sets around this time of year. Scooby-Doo was a staple cartoon of my childhood, and it was a no-brainer for me to get the sets when they came out in 2015 (really? Over ten years ago??). My one regret is that I only got…

Building 10228 Haunted House – Book 3
The third and final instruction book for 10228 is the attic and the roof. By the end of this build you (obviously) have the completed model, which looks marvellous. A close up of the top level shows the intricacy of the build. It’s a little fiddly, but considering the model looks so great, I didn’t…

Building 10228 Haunted House – Book 2
The second instruction book of 10228 is dedicated to the second floor. I really like how the instructional designers worked this out to make the books work out so cleanly for the build. As seen in the image above some of the windows are shutters on the verge of flying off instead of being boarded…

Building 10228 Haunted House – Book 1
I love 10228 Haunted House – I build it every year, so this year I decided to document with pictures. The box is long gone from my copy, but I still have the instruction books. I recycled many instruction books before moving here, relying on being able to obtain electronic copies of them on lego.com.…

Getting ready for Hallowe’en
I’m a little late getting started, but this is one of my favourite times of the year, LEGO-wise. It’s Hallowe’en! I’m not necessarily a horror movie fan, but I love trick-or-treating (I’ll miss that here in Panama), and also putting together my favourite Hallowe’en sets. It’s a given that I bought 11383 Mayor Manor when…

Happy International Sloth Day!
I didn’t even realize that International Sloth Day was a thing, but since it is, I’d be very remiss if I let the day go by without celebrating it! LEGO sloths have been in just three sets, so today I’ll share some pictures that I took a long time ago of the sloths in the…

LEGO at Velana International Airport
I’m always intrigued to see just where I can find LEGO. On the way home from the Maldives, I didn’t expect to find a LEGO store. I actually didn’t expect to find LEGO at all. But I was wrong! The display first caught my eye. Which was part of a larger display. It’s worth noting…

Istanbul Airport LEGO store
And we’re back! Traveling takes a bit out of the LEGO schedule….. But at least I get to look for LEGO stores while we travel! During the most recent journey, we had a layover in Istanbul. We landed at 7 pm with a layover of about 7 hours. I was thrilled to find a LEGO…

Houston Airport LEGO store
On the way back from a trip, we had a layover at the Houston airport. LEGO has been adding more store in airports lately, so I was pleased to see one here. The entrance featured a brick built astronaut, which makes sense considering Houston is home to the NASA Command Center. There’s also another brick…
