    Ep. 61 - Lego is Not For Kids (At Least Not Any More)

    · The Imagination Brickshop’s LEGO Brickcast

    Today, we're diving headfirst into a question that's been rattling around my brain like a loose 1x1 stud in a vacuum cleaner: Is LEGO really for kids anymore?

    Once upon a time (cue nostalgic flashback music), LEGO bricks were purely the realm of young dreamers. Little hands building wobbly houses, rocket ships, and whatever that blob was supposed to be. It was simple. It was joyful. It was the ultimate toy for curious minds and sticky fingers. But fast forward to today, and things look... a bit different.

    Higher standards. Higher prices. Marketing campaigns straight-up targeting adults. Yeah, I'm looking at you, LEGO Icons and UCS Star Wars sets. And I’m pretty sure my wallet just filed a restraining order against me after I went all-in on the latest modular building.

    So, what happened? When did this shift from “kid’s toy” to “premium adult collectible” actually start? How did LEGO evolve from building basic houses to crafting architectural masterpieces that look better than my actual living room? And why is it that I suddenly need a part-time job just to afford the new wave of sets?

    I’m about to break it all down for you—the rise of the Adult Fan of LEGO (AFOL), how the LEGO Group saw us coming a mile away, and why this might just be the golden age for grown-up builders. Spoiler alert: it’s not just your imagination—LEGO really has grown up with us. Whether that’s a good or bad thing probably depends on how much shelf space you have left.

    And while I’m at it, I’m taking a look at how LEGO’s strategy might be shifting even further into adult territory. Are they leaving kids behind? Or are they just making room for us big kids who never really grew out of our brick obsession? Either way, I’m here to unpack it all, piece by tiny piece.

    So, get comfy, grab your favorite minifig, and settle in—this episode is gonna be one wild ride through the past, present, and future of the world’s largest toy company. The answers might surprise you—or just make you feel totally validated as an AFOL. Either way, I promise plenty of laughs and some deep thoughts on why we’re all still so obsessed with these little plastic bricks.

    Thanks for tuning in, and as always—keep building and stay awesome!

    But wait—hold your Krusty Burgers because we’ve got some super juicy rumors on the horizon! Yep, LEGO is cooking up something wild with a new Simpsons Krusty Burger set, hitting shelves on June 1st! The rumor mill’s churning, and word on the street is there’s a new minifig that’s got Bart Simpson absolutely shaking. What could it be? A radioactive Krusty? Zombie Homer? Or, maybe someone far - far more sinister...

    And finally, because your shelf space isn’t complete without a little epic fantasy flair, brace yourselves for some Lord of the Rings magic! Yes, you heard it right—Book Nooks are coming to LEGO!

This thing is a beast, and no, I’m not exaggerating. It’s big. It’s bold. It’s ready to stomp its way onto your display shelf, and somehow, it won’t cost you a fortune. If you've ever wanted to own a LEGO dino that could (hypothetically) take on your minifig city, this is your chance.

    And finally, we can’t ignore an ultra-exclusive gem—the brand-new, limited-release LEGO House set! The 6th in the series, this set throws it back to a long-retired (and totally adorable) line of quirky, fun-loving brick-built creatures. Want to know which ones?

    Ep. 51 - The Brick Break-up: When Lego Themes Need to Say Goodbye

    · The Imagination Brickshop’s LEGO Brickcast

    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? Let’s face it—over the years, Lego has graced us with nearly 200 different themes. Some have become timeless classics, while others... well, let’s just say they’re the building equivalent of leaving a brick on the floor in the dark.

    In today’s episode, I’m diving headfirst into this delicate (but oh-so-fun) topic. I’ll be dissecting the current lineup of 35 Lego themes available to us in 2025. And here’s where it gets spicy: I’m 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, it’s time to Marie Kondo this lineup and ask, “Does this theme still spark joy?”

    But don’t worry—it’s not all doom and gloom! I’m also pitching four brand-new themes that I think deserve a shot at Lego stardom. What could these be? Well, let’s just say my picks are bold, fun, and 100% subjective. It’s 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!

Seriously, this set is such a good value it should come with a warning label: “May cause excessive drooling and wallet-related euphoria.”

    And just when you thought it couldn’t get crazier, Lego decides to combine Modular Buildings, Architecture, City, and Ideas into one Frankenstein-like subtheme. Enter Lego Icons: Restaurants Around the World. Fancy dining meets brick-building in ways you didn’t know you needed. Is it fun? Absolutely. Is it weird? Oh, 100%. And whatever you do, do not look at the back of this set. I repeat, DO NOT. It’s a level of cringe you have to see to believe.

    So, buckle up, brickheads, because we’re covering all this and more in today’s jam-packed episode of news and rumors. Stick around ‘til the end, because we promise it’ll be worth every second. Let’s get building!

    Ep. 45 - The Fan-Voted Stunner! The UCS Republic Gunship - Full Review

    · The Imagination Brickshop’s LEGO Brickcast

    Prepare to have your LEGO-loving mind blown, because in this episode, I’m diving deep—like Dagobah swamp deep—into the incredible UCS Republic Gunship. We’re talking ratings, a fascinating backstory, and yes, even a touch of good ol’ LEGO controversy. That’s right, folks, it’s the UCS set that you voted for—because for once, LEGO handed the keys to the fans. (Don’t get used to it.) The Republic Gunship won against two other contenders, clinching its spot as the Fall 2021 UCS masterpiece. Or wait
 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 isn’t just a feast for your eyes—it’s also a workout for your wallet. Measuring in at the size of a small bantha (yes, bantha), it’s a behemoth of a build that’ll 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 here’s the real kicker: is it worth hunting down now that it’s retired? Should you brave the aftermarket to bring this beauty home, or just admire it from afar like a Jawa eyeing shiny droid parts? I’ll break it all down for you, and by the end of this episode, you’ll 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 that’s worthy of a galaxy far, far away. Trust me, this is one ride you don’t want to miss.

    Thanks for listening, and may the Force (and your brick budget) be with you!

    · The Imagination Brickshop’s LEGO Brickcast

    Get ready to buckle up, brick fans, because this episode is jam-packed with all the LEGO news you didn’t know you needed! First up: Twilight fans, rejoice (or cringe – your choice)! If you’ve ever wanted sparkly vampire LEGO minifigs to grace your shelves, the time has come. Team Edward? Team Jacob? Forget that—it's Team Brick now! LEGO has officially unveiled the Cullen house set, and whether it makes you howl at the moon or roll your eyes, it’s here to sink its teeth into your wallet.

    Next, if you’ve been itching to expand your LEGO collection and save some cash, the current Double VIP Points promotion is your moment. And hey, green thumbs, this week’s deals include some gorgeous botanical sets—because nothing says “I’m a responsible adult” like a LEGO orchid sitting on your desk.

    Then, I’ll help you sync your calendars because BrickLink’s Series Four Designer sets are about to hit preorder. These fan-designed masterpieces sell out fast, so I’m here to break down all the must-know details to ensure you don’t miss out (or end up weeping in your empty LEGO room).

    Finally, let’s talk Star Wars. Sure, May the 4th might feel light-years away, but LEGO’s 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, they’re worth it.

    So, grab a snack, hit play, and join me for all the LEGO laughs and insights you can handle. And as always, thanks for listening!
