Building Makes Me Feel Good! LEGO Ghostbusters is Coming!

LEGO will be putting out an Ecto-1 model (hopefully with Ghostbuster mini-figs) later this year, thanks to their fan-submission program. This has me excited on multiple different levels.

I can’t wait to see the final designs. And it’ll probably be expensive as hell, so I better start saving now. While we’re on the topic, here’s a List of Six I did a few years ago of licensed properties I’d like to see in LEGO. I can’t believe I didn’t put Ghostbusters on that list…

It’s Like All 30 Years of My Life Coming to Fruition

Simpsons LEGOS. It’s beautiful. They should have sent a poet.

I want to start a Kickstarter campaign just to raise the money to purchase this. I can do that, right? Isn’t that what Kickstarter is for? Or maybe I’ll raise the funds to write a poem about this set. My God. Not only is it the house, but it opens up! And there’s a working garage, with the pink car, and mini-figs of all five family members, plus Flanderses! Oh man, oh man, I’m salivating over here. LEGO Simpsons is probably something I’ve been waiting my entire life to own.

6 Pop Culture Resolutions for 2014

I may as well say that my New Year’s resolutions for 2014 are to lose weight and save money, but I’ve kind of been making those same resolutions for the past 30 years, and they haven’t come true yet! So how about we veer wildly off course and talk about something much more fun: pop culture!

No, I’m not resolving to play fewer video games or watch less TV. Don’t be crazy.

Though I’m totally gonna lose weight and save money. Totally.

Instead, I’ve whipped up a list of 6 pop culture things I want to see in 2014. We already know what movies, TV shows and more are coming out, and I resolve to drown myself in all of them. But we don’t know how good or bad they’re going to be, or what surprises might be in store. So let’s get our hopeful wishing hats on, and predict the 6 pop culture resolutions we want to see in 2014!

And yes, I realize these are more like ‘wishes’ than ‘resolutions’, but New Year is all about the resolutions. Cut me some slack, I had a cold this week. Join me after the jump!

All I Want for Christmas is LEGOs!

Whenever someone asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year, I told them I wanted LEGOs. And yes, I did turn 30 this year. Thank you.

The problem with being 30 is that I already buy anything I need. That means Christmas gifts should be things I want. And with DVDs going out of style, and my tastes in clothing, music and books relatively unknown, I asked for LEGO sets, because deep down, I’m still a little boy.

My dad said he didn’t want to get me LEGOs until I had kids of my own who could play with them. I can’t say he’s wrong. But have you seen the new Jabba’s Palace LEGO sets!? They are sweet!
