I’m not an Uber Black Belt Grandmaster of Studio, however, I have been using it for going on 9 years. If anyone has any questions, I’d be happy to help.

Without stretching everyone thin, I am posting the link for The Ultimate Brick Show if anyone is willing to come out west for it in August.
It is roughly a 9 1/2 hour drive from Pitt to Marion. I hope that doesn’t deter you.

The Rabbit, was the Chinese animal of the year when Ninjago came out. The Horse, the current Chinese New Year animal. The Dragon, the most popular animal of Ninjago.

Many of the train shows I have been to are typically anti-Lego. This one was the exact opposite! I brought my monorail city display to the show. Many of the modelers were impressed with how complex Lego can actually get. There was a running joke as…Read more

I like this concept. Sadly, I could see it ending up as an ill fated Die Hard sequel. 😀
