Welcome back after the...’ break’. Well, it was a break from podcast recording, anyway. We hope you got some great LEGO®sets for Christmas. Pardon the quality of Richard's voice. It is getting much better!

While we are getting ready to attend Brickvention in Melbourne next weekend, we look at some of the January Releases.

The new LEGO City soapbox derby vehicles and race ramp sets We have been having so much fun playing with them that we have failed to write reviews yet!

We also consider the recently announced LEGO Nintendo Game Boy set, and just what other things 2025 might hold in store for the LEGO/Nintendo collaboration. https://jaysbrickblog.com/news/lego-nintendo-game-boy-set-announced-for-october-2025/

Richard and Jay are back from our pilgrimage to Denmark for Fan Media Days 2024!

We recount our experiences at Fan Media Days, however most of the juiciest things we saw can't be discussed yet for obvious reasons.

We were lucky enough to attend AFOL Day at the LEGO House, which kicks off Skaerbaek Fan Weekend. Richard was on the ground at Skaerbaek speaking and we both spoke to a bunch of lovely people that we met on the ground!

This episode contains snippets of those conversations, asking people about their experience at the LEGO House, and Skaerbaek Fan Weekend! You might hear a voice or two (or three or four!) that you might be very familiar with!

Special thanks to everyone that was happy to be featured!

If you enjoy the episode, we would be grateful if you could spare a moment to give it a quick review: those 5 stars, as well as any comments you leave, really help to make it visible to others who might enjoy it (or even just tell your friends.)
