  Ep. 219 - LEGO E.T. Review & More INCREDIBLE 80's Inspired LEGO Sets

  Sep 30, 202636 min

  LEGO has been going HARD after our nostalgia lately...and if you grew up in the 1980s, this might be one of the best times ever to be a LEGO fan. In BrickCast Episode, I’m reviewing the brand-new LEGO Ideas 21370 E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, but this episode quickly became about MUCH more than just one set. We’ll take a closer look at LEGO’s new version of one of the most recognizable characters in movie history, including its design, articulation, glowing heart, some fantastic hidden Easter eggs, and the surprising story behind the original fan model that eventually became an official LEGO set. And because this is E.T., we have to talk about the movie itself. More than four decades later, its impact is still incredible, and there are a few connections to Star Wars that you may have completely forgotten about. Then comes the big question: Is this actually a good LEGO set? My wife built E.T. this time around, so she’s taking over the ratings, and one of her scores genuinely shocked me. We’ll see where she lands on the build experience, displayability, playability, value, and ultimately whether E.T. deserves a spot in your collection. But E.T. is only the beginning...I’m also looking at five other LEGO sets that every 1980s nostalgia fan should have on their radar. Movies, cartoons, video games, transforming robots, time machines...LEGO has quietly assembled a pretty incredible lineup for those of us who remember growing up during the decade. And somehow, there’s still SO MUCH left for LEGO to explore. Knight Rider? The A-Team? ALF? ThunderCats? Beetlejuice? The NeverEnding Story? The Karate Kid? If LEGO could make ONE more set based on something from the 1980s, what are you choosing?

  There is a LOT to cover in this week’s LEGO News & Rumors! We’re kicking things off with a closer look at the upcoming 40899 Astro Bot GWP before diving into some potentially HUGE LEGO Lord of the Rings sets rumored for 2027. Helm’s Deep could be returning with more than 7,000 pieces, the Prancing Pony may finally be happening, and yes… we could actually be getting a Peter Jackson minifigure!

  Ep. 217 - The Ultimate LEGO Collector’s Dilemma: What To KEEP & What to SELL?

  Sep 23, 202647 min

  What LEGO sets in your collection could you NEVER bring yourself to sell? That question came up during a conversation with a coworker. I told them that if I ever moved and had to seriously downsize, I’d probably sell most of my LEGO collection rather than move it all. Then they asked the obvious follow-up: “Would you keep anything?” Oh yeah. Absolutely. So for this Wild Card Wednesday, I’m counting down the 10 LEGO sets in my collection that I would NEVER sell. And these aren’t necessarily the 10 “best” sets I own. They aren’t the most expensive, the biggest, or even the rarest. These are the sets that mean something to me. We’ve got some legendary Star Wars builds, an unusual piece of LEGO history made from something other than plastic, an architectural model with a family connection, a transforming icon from the '80s, one of my favorite animated characters of all time, a massive model of one of America’s most famous homes, and a few builds that have stories worth far more to me than their aftermarket value. Some are worth hundreds—or even well over $1,000. Others aren't worth much at all. But they’re priceless to me. So if The Imagination Brickshop collection ever had to go...these 10 are coming with me. What is the ONE LEGO set in your collection that you would never sell? Let me know in the comments!

  Ep. 216 - That’s NOT LEGO Voltron?! + LEGO’s HUGE Fall GWP Lineup! - 9/21/26 - News & Rumors

  Sep 21, 202635 min

  Happy First Day of Fall, Brickheadz! Fall has officially arrived, and LEGO is celebrating with a brand-new spooky GWP—but apparently we're also skipping straight ahead to Christmas! In BrickCast Ep. 216, we're breaking down the latest LEGO news, reveals, GWPs, promotions, and rumors heading into the final months of 2026. We’ve got a newly revealed haunted build just in time for Halloween, an update to the upcoming Astro Bot GWP that changes what we originally thought about its release, and the official reveal of this year's LEGO Icons Holiday House. But that's just the beginning. We also have a look at the upcoming GWP and Double Points calendar—including when you may want to hold off on that big LEGO purchase and when it might finally be time to pull the trigger. Plus, the Restaurants of the World collection continues after stops in Japan, Mexico, and Greece. Where are we headed next? Then it's time to duel! LEGO Ideas has officially announced the winner of the Yu-Gi-Oh! It’s Time to Duel! Challenge. Five incredible finalists battled it out, but only one could become an official LEGO Ideas set. We're taking a look at all five finalists, the winning design, and what happens next for the fan designer. And finally, for the Brickshop Alternative Set of the Week, we're going WAY back to 1981 Japan for a 3,900+ piece beast-form combining mecha that might look very familiar to children of the '80s. Five robotic lions, nearly two feet tall, chrome armor, full LED lighting...Yeah. We need to talk about this one. What story are you most excited about this week? And which country would you like to see represented next in the Restaurants of the World collection?

  Ep. 215 - LEGO Didn’t Make a Church for 66 Years…Then THIS Happened

  Sep 16, 202639 min

  LEGO went more than six decades without releasing a standalone church set. Then came Notre-Dame de Paris. In BrickCast Episode 215, I’m taking a detailed look at LEGO Architecture 21061 Notre-Dame de Paris — a 4,383-piece recreation of one of the most famous buildings in the world. At $230, this set delivers an incredible price-per-piece, zero stickers, a unique chronological building experience, and one of the most impressive Architecture displays LEGO has produced. We’ll talk about the real cathedral’s nearly 900-year history, the devastating 2019 fire and restoration, LEGO’s surprisingly long history with church sets, and why Notre-Dame may have helped open the door for something MUCH bigger coming later this year. And yes... we need to talk about the upcoming 12,060-piece Sagrada Família. How does Notre-Dame stack up against what will become the largest LEGO set ever released by piece count? Finally, I’ll break Notre-Dame down in my four review categories — Playability, Displayability, Build Experience, and Value — before giving it my final score. Is LEGO Notre-Dame de Paris worth adding to your collection before it disappears?
