  • Get ready to hit all the right notes with this week’s episode, where I take a deep dive into one of the most jaw-dropping Lego Ideas sets ever to grace our building tables—set #21323, the Grand Piano. This masterpiece of brick engineering, released back in 2020, proves once and for all that square pegs can fit into round holes—or at least square bricks can make smooth curves. How? It’s Lego magic, that’s how.

    With an astonishing 3,662 pieces, this build isn’t just a piano—it’s a player piano, complete with moving keys, a motorized mechanism, and a level of detail that makes you want to break out your tuxedo and start tickling those plastic ivories. Seriously, it’s like Lego Mozart got together with a wizard and said, "Let’s blow their minds."

    But here’s the kicker: this set is on the verge of retirement, which means if you’re debating whether to take the plunge and invest a small fortune in it, now’s the time to decide. Is it worth the cost? Is it worth sacrificing your dining table for the next three weeks while you build it? Tune in as I tackle these questions and more, all while marveling at this modern-day marvel of Lego design.Don’t miss it—your future self will thank you (and so will your brick collection).

  • Buckle up, fellow brick enthusiasts, because in today’s episode, I tackle the herculean task of reviewing and ranking the best Lego sets of the year. That’s right—out of the staggering 900+ sets released in 2024, I’ve painstakingly narrowed it down to a definitive top ten list. And let me tell you, it wasn’t easy. It’s like trying to pick your favorite child… if your children were made of interlocking plastic and came in wildly different shapes and sizes.

    What makes a set the "best," you ask? Is it the mind-blowing build experience that keeps you glued to the table for hours? The value that makes you feel like you’re getting a great deal (even though, let’s be real, we all know this hobby isn’t about saving money)? Or is it that final wow factor that makes you step back and say, “This is why I love Lego”? Spoiler alert: It’s all of the above, and then some.

    Join me as I break down my top ten picks, factoring in every little detail from nostalgia points to innovative design to just plain fun. And when I say the competition for the top spots was fierce, I’m not kidding—it’s so close, you could measure the difference with a 1x1 plate. You might gasp in shock at my top three choices—or, if you’ve been paying attention to my reviews, you might roll your eyes and say, “Yeah, that tracks.”

    Either way, stick around until the end to find out which set I’ve crowned the ultimate champion of 2024. Trust me, this is a list you don’t want to miss.
