About every year Lego sends their dashing explorers into a new adventure to the undiscovered parts of the world. Usually not quite for broadening their understanding of the world by scientific progress, but to find rare resources like crystals, gems and – of course – gold. The last two seasons have been pretty demanding for… Read More Review: Volcano Explorers Starter Set (60120)
When starting this Blog I not only wanted to write reviews (which is quite fun on its own though!) and show my MOCs, but also create and expand a more or less coherent universe, where every of my characters has its place. Sadly I haven’t published much of that yet. Not because of a lack of… Read More Some Worldbuilding
To me Batman is the definite superhero ever since I was a child. Not only because of the Tim Burton film from 1989 was so much better than the Superman films (there wasn’t as much superhero-competition around back in the day!). I think what got me really hooked was the iconic animated series, which was launched… Read More Review: Gotham City Cycle Chase (76053)
This post is about the sort of band your parents have always warned you of: Damage Case, the loudest, wildest and meanest band in the known Lego universe! Tough and alluring front-woman Susan rocks the stage with attitude and riffs as heavy as a sledgehammer, rocket-fast soloing and lyrics about the wild side of life. The… Read More Damage Case
One of the most memorable smaller town sets I have is the Screaming Patriot (6646) from 1991 (of course in American colours!).

As cool as they look, they limit your options according engine-layout and wheelbase quite significantly, but at the… Read More Mean Machine

Like the Submarine, the Exploration Vessel is modelled pretty closely after real-world… Read More Aquatic Review Part 2 – Deep Sea Exploration Vessel (60095)
I like to see it when Lego produces sets that are not explicitly combat orientated but still offer a good amount of possibilities for adventure. And if it’s not a license-theme – even better. But more about license-sets in another post. Today we take a close look at the 2015 Deep Sea Submarine (60092), before… Read More Aquatic Review Part 1 – Deep Sea Submarine
I made this one as a little contemplation of what is possible with just a handful of bricks and a few minutes time. Often our attention is directed to the huge flashy constructions online with thousands of parts. But you can create already an illusion with very reduced means. Like a painter can create a realistic human… Read More City Skyline
