It is with heavy heart that I have to announce my retirement from LEGO effective at the end of April. When I started this site back in 2012, I didn’t imagine I would have the amount of readers that I have today. This is why it’s hard to tell everyone I’m leaving.
The reason why I’m leaving LEGO? LEGO has always been a hobby for me but I also have other hobbies, some of which is taking up most of my time right now. I have always tried to keep the readers updated on the latest LEGO news as well as giving everyone some insight of the sets with my reviews. I feel that I cannot keep up anymore with my other hobbies requiring my attention and I don’t want to do articles that are substandard to my usual quality of writing.
Effective at the end of April, I will stop writing about LEGO news but I’ll leave the site up for posterity and maybe once in a while, I’ll do a post. I’ve been contemplating doing this for a while now but I think this is the right decision for me.
What will I do with all my sets? I’ll probably box them all up and store them in the garage and maybe I’ll let my kids have them someday.
I don’t know what the future holds for me with LEGO but I do hope you keep following the Fan Page as well as my Twitter for future updates. I wish everyone happiness with LEGO and enjoys it as much as I do and thank each and everyone of you for following my adventure with these bricks. I know I’ll probably run into some fans in the future. Whether it be in person or on social media, we’ll meet again so it’ll be like I was never gone. So after today, only 29 days left and I’ll be gone. Maybe I’ll come back, maybe I won’t. We’ll see.

Wait a minute, you’re foolin’ me right? Ah, you almost got an April Fool’s joke on me! Haha.
So sad, I’ve been following your blog and your flickr account for about a year or so now, and I ‘be been a fan ever since.
Goodluck with your new endeavors, and let’s hope you’ll come back to LEGO one day with enough enthusiasm to keep around permenantly, you’ll be missed.

IT’S APRIL FOOLS! I hope…
Please don’t leave!
At first I was really shocked, but then I realized that it’s 1st April 😀
So I hope this is just a joke 🙂
I think it is weird that people don’t see this is April Fools… I’m very excited to read the post called: April Fools! tomorrow…
My heart literally sank as I have come to love this site and find it the best source for all my Lego news. My thoughts were “What did LEGO do to hurt you so much?” … Oh man, you got me! 😀
This is the best site for Lego fans, I wasn’t thinking about April 1st, and it scared me a little. Good one Allen!
Initially I thought that this was real but, after checking the date, I don’t know anymore. 🙁
I look forward to your future coverage of megablocks and Kre-o.
