I Don’t Own Any Simpsons LEGOs Because Money
Did you know that The Simpsons house LEGO set is $200?! What does LEGO think we are, made of money? Or that we’re all money tree farmers? Darn it, I knew I should have gone into money tree farming!

My 6 Favorite Classic LEGO Themes
The LEGO Movie was awesome! It was more awesome than it had any right to be, and that’s coming from a guy who expected it to be a great film.

I have been playing with LEGOs for as long as I can remember.

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…
