I was leaving the flat the other day and, amongst the assorted mail for various apartments, a colour catalogue caught my eye. This was because it was a catalogue of LEGO. Strange for it to turn up in the mail, and I made the decision that if it hadn’t been…

E31 took place this week, and it was probably the best in terms of announcements for the last two or three years. Game critics are remaining sceptical about some of the announcements, but that’s their job – allow the rest of us to revel in the joy of some of…

I turned 27 this year, officially placing me in the “adult” end of my twenties. So what did I receive for my birthday from my beloved girlfriend? LEGO, of course! Having received a Joker steamroller previously, and also coming into possession of a LEGO version of the Penguin1, the only…

I tend to make a rule towards LEGO, in that I’m not to buy any unless it’s very, very necessary. You could argue that no LEGO is necessary, but then you don’t own LEGO minifigs of the Ghostbusters, Doc Brown and Marty and the Joker, so shut up. Aside from…

Despite not actively being a die-hard LEGO collector1, I somehow have a growing collections amassing on one of the coffee tables in my flat2. The collection grew a little larger over Christmas, with my other half kindly gifting me a LEGO set that pandered to my fascination with both LEGO…

I had high hopes for 2014, but when I started the year by almost killing myself with alcohol it sort of set the mood. Despite that little hiccup at the start of the year, a lot of effort went into the first few chapters of the Two Doctors’ World Tour,…

Around this time last year I had a geekgasm over limited edition Back to the Future LEGO. At the end of that blog post, I linked to a user-submitted Ghostbusters LEGO design, featuring all four Ghostbusters and their unique vehicle the ECTO-1. That project sadly didn’t get approved by the…

I bloody love Back to the Future. Who doesn’t? You’d have to literally be the worst person in the world not to. It’s just wholesome good fun, a story about two friends – a rebellious teen and a crazy mad scientist. You couldn’t get this film made today. You know…
