Dwalin Forkbeard has created an awesome popcorn bin. If you look closely you can see that he used small puppy dogs from Lego Friends to resemble popcorn. He has also built the letters and presented the text in a cool way. The actual cup is constructed with different angles which gives a nice authentic look!
The main feature in this set is the Heavy Driller mining vehicle. On it’s own it’s nothing special. I recommend this set together with the set 60188 Mining Experts Site I reviewed yesterday. It also comes with a mini-lab to valuate the golden nuggets and some mini figures, a little mining equipment stand and finally a mini dumper for transportation.
LEGO introduces the ”City Mining” with a few new sets with this theme. This new set is loaded with different equipment and fun objects to play with. A large mining machine with plenty of functions, a cool mine with an awesome rail to remove golden nuggets, mini dumper to load a truck for transportation. I’m sure this is a great set to build new own creations. I look forward when the set hits the market!
In 2018 Lego will arrange an official Lego event in New York City. You can play and build with millions of bricks. The event takes place at the Basketball City facility on Pier 36 in lower Manhattan. This is a perfect opportunity for fans to visit Manhattan and play with Lego. It’s a three day festivity from the 16th to the 18th of February. There will of course be special souvenirs and Lego sets available for purchase.
As you already know and probably haven’t missed it’s Black Friday. Lego’s version is Brick Friday with some great offers on selected items! Check out if they have your favorit set on sale. I hope Lego next year have a great discount on all the sets. This day is nothing special if your favorite set is not on sale… If you don’t find anything special, just build and have fun as I have today! Have a great weekend!
”Brick Friday”on November 24-27. Happy hunting…
When I visited the Lego Store in Milan last week, I tried to get a stamp in my Lego Passport and register the VIP card. The staff explained the store was a franchise, so for that reason you can’t register or use the VIP card as well as get a stamp in the passport.
Other countries with certified stores can be found in Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Greece, Croatia, Hungary and Russia. Lego don’t share information about private franchise operations. Please share if you know of any other countries at my email info@bricklife.se

Lego has design a mini Millennium Falcon for the American retail chain Target with low-cost warehouse all over the country. The special thing with this little tiny set of 20 pieces is the printed Star Wars plate. I’m sure you can buy this plate at Bricklink.com pretty soon. The Falcon it self looks like a model from the Christmas calendar.
I have almost completed my Mountain Lodge MOC. I still have to work on the interior fittings. For awhile I was not sure how I wanted to design the roof on the lodge. One of my ideas was have a winter look with snow, or a roof with vegetation of gras and flower. I choose the second alternative. The ruff old vintage look decorating the walls works great together with the green roof. I hope you like my MOC!
