Welcome, fellow brick enthusiasts, to an episode that dares to tackle a potential controversial question in the Lego universe: When is it time for a Lego theme to bite the dust? Letās face itāover the years, Lego has graced us with nearly 200 different themes. Some have become timeless classics, while others... well, letās just say theyāre the building equivalent of leaving a brick on the floor in the dark.
In todayās episode, Iām diving headfirst into this delicate (but oh-so-fun) topic. Iāll be dissecting the current lineup of 35 Lego themes available to us in 2025. And hereās where it gets spicy: Iām calling out four themes that, in my humble but entirely correct opinion, should gracefully bow out and retire to the great Lego bin in the sky. Yup, itās time to Marie Kondo this lineup and ask, āDoes this theme still spark joy?ā
But donāt worryāitās not all doom and gloom! Iām also pitching four brand-new themes that I think deserve a shot at Lego stardom. What could these be? Well, letās just say my picks are bold, fun, and 100% subjective. Itās time to unleash some creativity and give the Lego lineup a much-needed refresh.
So, grab your favorite building set, pour yourself a mug of coffee (or something stronger if your favorite theme might make my cut list), and join me as we take a deep dive into the world of Lego themes. Whether you agree, disagree, or just want to laugh at my wildly biased takes, this episode is going to be a blast! Thanks for tuning in!

Prepare to have your LEGO-loving mind blown, because in this episode, Iām diving deepālike Dagobah swamp deepāinto the incredible UCS Republic Gunship. Weāre talking ratings, a fascinating backstory, and yes, even a touch of good olā LEGO controversy. Thatās right, folks, itās the UCS set that you voted forābecause for once, LEGO handed the keys to the fans. (Donāt get used to it.) The Republic Gunship won against two other contenders, clinching its spot as the Fall 2021 UCS masterpiece. Or waitā¦ is it the Imperial Gunship? Those box images and instruction manuals seem a bit, um, confused.
At over 3,200 pieces and a staggering $350 price tag, this set isnāt just a feast for your eyesāitās also a workout for your wallet. Measuring in at the size of a small bantha (yes, bantha), itās a behemoth of a build thatāll take center stage in any display... assuming you have room for it. If not, maybe consider moving some furniture or evicting a lesser set.
But hereās the real kicker: is it worth hunting down now that itās retired? Should you brave the aftermarket to bring this beauty home, or just admire it from afar like a Jawa eyeing shiny droid parts? Iāll break it all down for you, and by the end of this episode, youāll have my final rating to help you decide if this Gunship deserves a spot in your fleet.
So grab a glass of your favorite blue milk, find a comfy spot, and get ready for a journey through LEGO Star Wars history thatās worthy of a galaxy far, far away. Trust me, this is one ride you donāt want to miss.
Thanks for listening, and may the Force (and your brick budget) be with you!

Finally, letās talk Star Wars. Sure, May the 4th might feel light-years away, but LEGOās rolling out seven (yes, SEVEN) new sets that are worth planning and saving for now. Warning: You may need a small loan or the Jedi mind trick to afford them, but trust me, theyāre worth it.

Buckle up, brick fans, because this weekās episode is one wild ride! Iām back from a two-week vacation to the other side of the globe, and you better believe Iāve got a lot to say. While I was busy collecting jet lag and questionable souvenirs, the LEGO universe didnāt take a break. Oh no, it decided to drop some absolutely mind-blowing news and rumors, and now Iām here to catch you upāand probably talk your ear off in the process.
First up, one of my bold 2025 predictions is already shaping up to be true: Star Trek is finally beaming its way into LEGO! Yes, you heard that right. By late 2025, we could be welcoming a 3600-piece Enterprise D into our collections. Start saving now, because if this rumor holds water, itās dropping on Black Friday, and itās going to fly off the shelves faster than a Vulcan at a logic convention.
But wait, thereās more! Like, a lot more. Iāve got juicy intel on the next Nintendo set rumored to hit stores in Octoberāthink nostalgic magic meets brick-building brilliance. And as if that wasnāt enough to empty your wallet, Iāve got new details about the hotly anticipated Lord of the Rings Bag End set, arriving in just a few months.

Are you ready to take a spin on the LEGO nostalgia train today? I sure hope so, because weāre diving into a Creator Expert fairground classic: set #10257, the LEGO Carousel! This isnāt just any carouselāitās the LEGO version of whimsical childhood dreams packed into 2,670 glorious pieces.
First released in June 2017, this amazing set hit shelves as the third installment in the Fairground Collection. At a cool $200, it quickly became a crown jewel for many collectors, especially for those who missed out on the elusive Grand Carousel nearly a decade earlier. (You know, the one that now costs more than your rent on the resale market.)
With its colorful details, playful design, and spinning charm, the LEGO Carousel brought the fun of the fairground to your living room. But hereās the real question: how does this set stack up against the legendary Grand Carouselāone of the most iconic LEGO sets of all time? Is it a worthy successor, or does it fall a few horses short of greatness?
Stick around as I break it all down, piece by piece. Iāll share my full review, a completely subjective (but highly entertaining) rating, and even a comparison of the two carousels to answer the ultimate LEGO question: which one deserves your display space?
So, grab a snack (preferably not one with LEGO pieces in it), and letās take a ride on this brick-built blast from the past. And, as always, thanks for listening! Donāt forget to subscribe, share, and maybe even leave me a reviewābecause just like LEGO sets, podcasts are more fun when theyāre shared.

Time to dust off the crystal ball and dive into the thrilling world of Lego speculation! In todayās episode, Iām stepping into the role of a fortune teller (minus the fancy robe and mystic incense) to give you my three big, bold predictions for what Lego has in store for us in 2025. From new patterns in set design to unexpected themes and intriguing partnerships, Iām sharing my best guesses about the road aheadāand letās just say, itās not all sunshine and smooth tiles.
But hereās the fun part: each prediction gets bolder and more daring as we go. Will I foresee the death of a fan-favorite classic theme? Maybe a jaw-dropping collaboration we didnāt see coming? Or perhaps a controversial direction that could have fans shaking their minifigure-sized fists? One thingās for sureāitās going to be a wild ride, and Iām not holding back.
So grab your coffee, your favorite brick-built magnifying glass, and settle in as I peer into the future of our favorite little plastic bricks. Will my predictions hit the mark or fall apart faster than an unstable Technic build? Thereās only one way to find outāstay tuned until the very end!
Update Note: Yes, a $1000 Death Star might go against some thoughts, but I'm telling you - it's an outlier - not the norm)
