  • Ep. 144 - Reviewing One of the Best Sets of 2025 - Transformers: Soundwave
    Dec 31 2025

    In this episode, I take a closer look at one of the boldest LEGO ICONS releases in recent memory and a long-awaited moment for Transformers fans. LEGO finally brings a Decepticon to life in brick form, pulling heavily from classic Generation 1 roots while layering in modern design choices that make this set feel equal parts nostalgic and experimental.

    This build immediately stands apart from previous Transformers sets, not just because of the character choice, but because LEGO introduces one of its newest pieces of technology here. The LEGO Sound Brick appears for only the third time ever, adding more than twenty voice lines and sound effects that feel ripped straight from childhood. It is undeniably cool, undeniably nostalgic, and yes, it also plays a role in pushing the price higher, which makes the value conversation especially interesting.

    I compare this release to LEGO’s earlier Transformers builds and talk through where this set evolves the formula and where it takes some risks. From the build process to the final display presence, there is a lot to like here, but there are also a few moments that may divide fans depending on what they want from a premium licensed LEGO set.

    Is this the most ambitious Transformers set LEGO has released so far? Does the added technology enhance the experience or distract from it? And does this finally feel like the moment Decepticons arrive on equal footing in the LEGO world?

    I break down what works, what surprised me, and whether this set earns its place among LEGO’s best licensed builds of the year. If Generation 1 Transformers meant something to you, this is one you will want to hear.

    This week’s News & Rumors episode is absolutely loaded, and it starts with a massive update that Lord of the Rings fans have been waiting years for. After last week’s whispers, we finally have clearer details on what could become the most ambitious Middle-earth LEGO set ever released… and the implications go far beyond just one build.

    From there, things take a sharp turn into the unexpected. LEGO appears to be diving into entirely new territory with an upcoming K-pop–inspired theme, complete with some surprising design choices that could signal where LEGO thinks pop culture is headed next. Love it or hate it, this one is going to spark conversation.

    We also dig into major developments across some of LEGO’s biggest licensed themes. One Piece is expanding in a big way for 2026, Pokémon rumors are starting to take real shape across multiple waves, and there’s a mysterious superhero-scale build on the horizon that could mark a major anniversary moment for DC or Marvel fans.

    Art collectors and Technic builders aren’t left out either, with new high-profile builds rumored to arrive later this year, plus fresh details surrounding May the 4th, including a UCS contender that could divide the fanbase.

    And before you log off, a reminder: January 1st is right around the corner. If you’re planning purchases or just want to know what’s about to hit shelves, last week’s episode has everything you need to be ready.

  • Ep. 142 - The Top 10 Best AND Worst LEGO Sets of 2025
    Dec 24 2025

    Every year LEGO gives us masterpieces… and a few head-scratchers. 2025 was no exception.

    In this episode, I break down my Top 10 BEST and WORST LEGO sets of the year, and yes, some of these picks are going to ruffle feathers.

    A fan-favorite ICONS set makes the list, but not for the reason you might expect. A nostalgia-driven release left me genuinely torn. One massive display piece looks incredible… until you actually build it. And there’s a very popular licensed set that I think completely missed the mark.

    We’re talking bold design swings, questionable value, surprise wins, and at least one set that had everything going for it, yet still fell flat. I’ll also touch on a few honorable mentions that almost cracked the top tier. Agree? Disagree? Either way you’re probably going to have an opinion.

    Click in, hear the full breakdown, and let me know where I’m right… and where I’m absolutely wrong.

  • Ep. 141 - Lord of The Rings Fans Rejoice! - 12/22/25 - News & Rumors
    Dec 22 2025

    In this episode, LEGO rumor season officially goes nuclear.

    A single whisper has sent the entire LEGO community into speculation mode, and if it’s even remotely true, it could become one of the most ambitious licensed sets LEGO has ever attempted. We’re talking Middle-earth. We’re talking scale. And we’re talking about a build that could completely redefine what LEGO Icons is willing to do with fantasy themes.

    But that’s just the beginning.

    We also dig into a surprising sci-fi property making its way into LEGO form, several gift-with-purchase builds that might quietly become sleeper favorites, and a packed wave of January releases that signals where LEGO’s priorities are heading in 2026. From architecture and botanicals to Icons, BrickHeadz, and beyond, there’s a lot to unpack — including some price shifts that may raise eyebrows.

    This episode is all about reading between the bricks. What’s real, what’s rumored, what feels inevitable, and what might be LEGO testing the limits of how far fans are willing to go with them. Whether you’re here for the leaks, the speculation, or just trying to decide what deserves a spot on your wishlist, this one’s loaded.

    Settle in, because if even half of what’s being rumored comes true, 2026 is going to be a very interesting year to be a LEGO fan.

  • Ep. 140 - LEGO’s First True Giant - The UCS Imperial Star Destroyer Review
    Dec 17 2025

    In this episode, we’re traveling back to the early days of UCS LEGO Star Wars to revisit a set that once redefined what a LEGO model could be. Long before massive boxes, interior details, and hyper-engineered builds became the norm, there was a single gray triangle that changed everything.

    Released in the early 2000s, this set wasn’t just big for its time — it was unthinkable. It shattered piece-count records, pushed LEGO into uncharted territory, and became a benchmark that future Ultimate Collector Series sets would be judged against for years. At one point, this was the biggest LEGO set ever made.

    But how does it hold up today?

    With modern UCS giants on the shelves and building standards evolving dramatically over the last two decades, this episode takes a hard look at whether this legendary Star Destroyer is still worthy of its reputation — or if it’s simply a relic of a different LEGO era.

    We’ll talk about the build experience, the design choices that feel dated now, the surprisingly bold engineering decisions LEGO made at the time, and how it stacks up against its modern successor. There’s nostalgia here, yes, but also some honest criticism that might surprise longtime fans.

    If you’ve ever wondered where the UCS line truly began… or whether the originals still deserve their pedestal… this is one review you won’t want to miss.
