Welcome to the Rambling Brick. We have a small but dedicated team.

I’m Richard, and I started writing the Rambling Brick in 2016, three hours after picking up a Nexo Knights set that gave me something to talk about.

I grew up in the 70s and 80s, inspired by Classic Space and early Technic sets. I emerged from my Dark Ages in the mid-noughties when my children started to play with LEGO sets. These days, I love investigating LEGO Themes, and the nostalgia of those great play themes of the 80s and 90s that I missed out on while discovering the rest of the world.

I am joined by my wife Ann, the Knoller-in-Chief. She lays out most of the elements prior to the set coming together. Her Adult LEGO Fan career took off when we discovered modular buildings back in 2009, and she assembled three over a few days.

In recent years, we have been joined by Branko, who has had a long-standing interest in LEGO bricks. He is a keen fan of creature-focussed themes such as the Legends of Chima, Creator 3in1, and Dreamzzz, but remains a sucker for any sort of Spaceship.

Sometimes we get excited by things that others find mundane or old hat: … those interesting little techniques that everyone else knows about, or that got tucked away in the corner of the instruction manual.

As a Recognized LEGO Fan Creator blog, we receive some support from the LEGO Group in the form of early information, along with sets to review and occasional opportunities to meet with designers.

We also buy our own sets. If we are reviewing sets that have been given to us, we will let you know.

We use affiliate advertising on the page, as ads and links on sets reveals and reviews. We might receive a small commission if you use these links before shopping for sets on LEGO.com. We use this to cover to offset the costs of hosting, and related materials.

Opinions expressed are our own: we maintain our own views, even with sets that have been supplied. This independent fan site is not authorised or endorsed by the LEGO Group.
