Optimus Prime enters the LEGO City
(Never thought I’d get to write that!)
This build is very solid, hefty, and impressive in scale and detail. The range of articulation is better than I imagined and the model is incredibly faithful to the G1 Optimus Prime toy from mid-80s and cartoon. (You can watch the original episodes on HasbroPulse’s YT channel- I did while putting this together)
My only problem with this kit is that the leg stickers are upside-down when compared to the OG cartoon. That’s not a knock on the actual design and build, I assume a marketing error.
Simple fix: flip the 2x6 tiles around.
Took some busy shots with other large red mechs for scale. LEGO continues to improve on its mechs’ quality.
If you’ve seen what I post, I focus on LEGO and Hasbro Marvel products. The Transformers line now checks the box for LEGO, Hasbro, and Marvel! Too cool; when do you think the planet Cybertron will enter the MCU? Will Death’s Head show up in a future GotG?

1997’s Robo Master, the Big One from the bizarre RoboForce sub-theme!
That neon dome! And all the prints! It’s like a better version the Blacktron 2 pods, but it’s on this weird Beast Wars mecha. And it doesn’t detach to fly off. Bummer.
What does detach to fly off is pretty cool for how simplistic it is: a smaller Unitron Star Hawk II (#1789). A set design from another far superior Space sub-theme.
I don’t mean to hate on RoboForce this much, it looks cool, has tons of prints, neon transparent elements, and great minifigs with leg prints and updated helmet sculpts! All of that is awesome!
But why wasn’t this designed as a spacecraft? It would have been among the best. LEGO hadn’t figured out Mechs in ‘97, but they sure have now.
Final thought, what was the tail thing?
A weapon? A ‘robot’? A charger for the spacecraft?

Many thanks to my Dutch friends for all there help in restoring this glued shop window display model
This set was released in 1972 and consists of 142 pieces. On the left of the windmill there is supposed to be a tree. Mine was missing, so I replaced it with a bush of the same era.
1997’s Robo Stalker, another Mech from the strange RoboForce sub-theme!
I’m kind of a fan of the space robot goblin in striped pants, vaguely reminds me of a Beetlejuice getup? Idk, but I dig it.
This set has some seriously unique space elements and a few familiar. This set stands strong as a part’s pack, but it has enough originality to merit its own existence in any retro space collection
Good consoles for both drivers, great transparent orange elements, and even a cool sticker over the torso windshield
This set has all the prints and printed legs for the minifigs, super deluxe for ‘97
Each pilot of the orange faction of RoboForce shares the same face (previously used in Aquanauts’ sub-theme), which is an odd choice considering how many different elaborate prints were used in these sets
The detachable head/craft is good looking, with that large Exploriens’ element for a cockpit, adjustable wings, and two storage containers

Some pics of Guardians’ ship #76193 and my favorite Thanos fig in the City
Great Spaceship build- thing is solid!
Was the ship ever actually called “the Benatar” in the MCU or just on @JamesGunn’s Twitter?
I feel a little Mandela effect on this

This small tracking station is part of a network covering all of the inhabited systems across the galaxy. This network is used to track and coordinate space traffic, and send and receive radio communications from anyone who might be speaking or listening.
An alternate build of set #31128 Dolphin and Turtle. I saw the seahorse build and thought the main body looked like a good shape for a little bird, so that's what I built!
I may do some instructions at some point, like I did with my little elephant before.
After impulsively buying the random mini figure box, the little detective inspired me to dig out my bricks and make him a car.
An alternate build of set #31129 Majestic Tiger. I was struggling to decide what to get at a recent AFOL Appreciation Day event. Then I saw the 3-in-1 Creator tiger, and I knew what I had to do.
I know the feet are a bit big, but overall I'm really pleased with how this came out. Maybe I'll stick it into Stud.io at some point and make some instructions!
And yes, the tail comes with an extra section for when its sat down. It's too long when it's stood up, and too short when it's sat down, so I thought I might as well give it the option of adding an extra section when needed.
The XL-15 enters the LEGO City!
This set wouldn’t have been on my radar if it wasn’t for the buzz about the Lightyear film’s director being AFOL Angus MacLane (check out his builds on Flickr!).
Evidently, he pushed for the in-film design to have a yellow transparent canopy, reminiscent of the Classic Space elements.
He also had an interesting spot on LEGOCon, worth a check out.
The build of this one and a cat seater spaceship is substantial! As a medium sized ship it checks most boxes for me: fits all accessories, swoosh-ability is there, has mobile base in form of laptop (stretch), and droid in the Catbot (also stretch). No escape pod/rover, which loses some points when compared to the medium builds of my ‘90s childhood.
But the elements and connections this set brings to the table blow anything from my childhood away. There are a few elements that are super obscure.
Color scheme for the spaceship is great, can’t miss with light blue, white, and black with that yellow canopy.
Also bonus points for extra head/hair elements for minifigs.
Less stellar for me were the minifigs. Buzz looks pretty good, but I’d prefer the dome over a normal helmet (I’m sure that’s a movie plot detail). The other figs have nice printing, but are pretty mute brown, like something out of a Star Wars set.
The shoulder pauldrons for all of them are cumbersome to range of motion.
The rocket launcher build doesn’t really work out to be held, but I do appreciate the built up weapon/scanning accessories.
Very nice set, strong suggest for the building experience and MOC possibilities!
I left off the red stripes off the wings. Does it look cleaner? Worse? Let me know
I’ll be looking at more contemporary LEGO sets that are bringing back Classic Space soon!

A stripped-down, re-built road monster designed for eating up quarter miles and spitting them out.
Built for LEGO's #buildlikeamaster competition.

12 Grimmauld Place #76408
This time of year always gets me in the mood to rewatch the HP series.
Here is my latest build, testing out the New Studio! Hoping for slightly higher production values going forward, (still need to steam the blue screen).
I really like how this looks.
I don’t go out of my way too often for HP sets, I don’t have room for a giant ever-growing castle, but I really like some of their individual “home spaces”. The most recent Burrow (#75980) was excellent, and this townhouse is looking like my favorite HP dwelling for 2022.
The gimmick is great, works well, and allows for figures to be displayed in most of the area without interfering with the transformation.
Figure selection is large and great. All are printed well with detail, save Mrs. Weasley. Her orange pajamas jumpsuit looks off to me?
All come with accessories (even two distinct hair pieces for Tonks), and there are more than enough cups/goblets to go around.
The build was fairly straightforward “building building”, broken up nicely into little sections. Some details were heavily reliable on stickers, but it’s an 8+ set, these things are expected.
I think this could easily be converted to a modular (minus the transformation) that would look really good in any LEGO City.
(Last photo for scale, afterthought, with bad lighting)
Very grateful to my lovely fiancé for this birthday gifted set!

An alternative build for set #31133 White Rabbit. I had originally done a sort of rabbit-themed robot/mech, but I wasn't really that happy with it. Then I realised that the parts that are used as the rabbit's feet in the main build would be perfect to create the beautiful fluffy wings of a swan (specifically a Mute Swan), so here we are!
I may do some instructions at some point.
1993’s Blizzard Baron enters the LEGO City from Ive Planet 2002!
An OG Hoth snowspeeder, who doesn’t love that?
This set has a couple classic Ice Planet prints, cool minifig with accessories, and a decent amount of neon transparent orange elements for a little ship!
Not only is it a capable little snowspeeder, but it has a detachable communications base/portable science lab. Simple, but a good use of a few parts to bring more story elements to a small build.
I’m happy to have this guy added to my Ice Planet 2002 fleet. Did you have this set? Does it hold up as interesting to a modern audience? Anyone know why it’s also called the Ice Planet Vx122?
I’ll be looking at more retro LEGO soon, including more Space!

“Oh wow Rick, the Time Machine from the movie!”
“No Morty! This, this is ingenious! Thats not a time machine, it’s a LEGO kit. A LEGO kit that WASTES time! Now grab the wheel Morty, grandpa’s had too much to drink.”
What an excellent, satisfying build!
The action features work excellently, the details are on point and all three display options look great.
Awesome addition to the upscale cars. May have to do another shoot with this thing before it gets settled into a permanent display.

A tough, reliable Viper, mostly used as escort vehicles for larger ships or VIPs.
This is a long-overdue update on a very old MOC of mine. I recently got this lovely trans-yellow canopy piece which inspired me to revisit this build. Just about squeezing a couple of shots in for NnoVVember!
I will post some more pics soon.

1997’s Crystal Scavenger from AquaZone’s AquaRaiders makes its way to Barracuda Bay
The Hook-hand pirate captains reunited!
This, along with the Deep Sea Predator, were two of my favorites from childhood. Some similarities, huh? This set is a peg lower on my list for the inclusion of stickers (which didn’t age so good on this second-hand set I picked up), but it does include awesome neon transparent green elements, great minifig, and cool accessory for the minifig.
Really cool older set. Loved the AquaZone theme with its use of neon transparent elements and its color schemes. Glad to round out my hook-handed pirates and add this retro set to my collection.
Thoughts on this older set?
I’ll be show casing some more ‘90s LEGO soon, including more AquaZone!

I love how the backs of these boxes show kids building.
On the front you can see the brick shape and color through the window.
On the top, shape and color as a painted picture.
The sides are blue and the back shows a generic LEGO picture.
The bottom shows the LEGO system logo, see top box.
All the printed info is located on the inside of the box lid.
Here it is also mentioned these boxes are called Kliklok.
My collection is no longer missing the yellow and black version.....
These boxes with square windows were made/produced from 1966 to 1967, followed by the round window versions.
Size: 8.6 cm x 6.4 cm x 6.4 cm
Weight: 75 grams (this differs per color, but is about...)
Contents: 21. 2x4 bricks
Originally, the Red Rod was somewhat more refined - a pretty little roadster, more at home on twisting country lanes than the drag strip.

"There must be hundreds of them!"
I decided to revamp a Sentry as a counterpart to my 'Mk. 2' Uplink. This upgraded version is bigger and tougher than the original, with swappable weapons modules to mount between the shoulders. I couldn't find a neat way to include control sticks at the front, so I'm just imagining that the Iron Drone piloting the machine is connected and can control it wirelessly.
Bring back Exo-Force!
1997’s Robo Stalker, another Mech from the strange RoboForce sub-theme!
I’m kind of a fan of the space robot goblin in striped pants, vaguely reminds me of a Beetlejuice getup? Idk, but I dig it.
This set has some seriously unique space elements and a few familiar. This set stands strong as a part’s pack, but it has enough originality to merit its own existence in any retro space collection
Good consoles for both drivers, great transparent orange elements, and even a cool sticker over the torso windshield

The detachable head/craft is good looking, with that large Exploriens’ element for a cockpit, adjustable wings, and two storage containers
