A terrific gift from @tashologue while I was visiting Denmark. I first received playmobil figures for Christmas in 1974. Most of them are still intact, albeit with faded chrome. I found this LEGO Explore/ DUPLO whistle from 2002 while I was in Denmark recently. It only appeared in 2 sets. It has a couple of holes, which lets you change the pitch. Let’s see if we can play a little tune. After arriving in Jutland, I made my way to the Flea Market. It was a grey day as I waited for the train out of Copenhagen. The wind blew, and I was grateful for my coat as it whistled down the platform. Billund: There are over a million plastic stories in the Home of the Brick. With a System in evolution, Things are changing. The bricks that brought me joy as a child continue to engage, but the stories have changed, the blockiness gone and studs becoming so rare that a brick separator is increasingly irrelevant. Here’s our first look at October’s LEGO® Ideas Release, 21371 Wallace and Gromit. Submitted by Pidelium as part of the 90s Throwback, the Next Chapter Challenge, this set captures the claymation essence of our titular heroes, as seen in A Close Shave. The builds of Jeff Friesen (@jeff_works on Instagram) are familiar to many LEGO Fans on Instagram: he has a certain style in the worlds he creates: whether Spaceships, Cities or Castles, his sense of line and colour is immediately recognizable. In his latest book - Building LEGO® Worlds - Create the Worlds You’ve Only Imagined (Nostarch Press, released August 2026) - he breaks down his process: from terraforming and landscaping, through to filling your new world with microscale life. I picked up a copy of 7568 Belville Sunshine Home at the local Trash and Treasure market this morning. Unfortunately, it was missing a the adult figures. It turns out to be just the right scale for the smart play Pokémon to hang out in. I love the accessories that came with the set, and needed to make a few changes to the Pokemon who were not blessed with opposable thumbs. The wine flagon from Fabuland received a trans blue makeover to be reborn as a water bottle.
