Is LEGO Top Gear in the Works?

November 23, 2013 / / 7 Comments

Brick Fanatics reported yesterday that the British television show Top Gear is asking individuals to take a survey to possibly bring the show into LEGO form. The survey, limited to 3000 responses, asks what kinds of LEGO sets would people be interested in and which Top Gear characters would people like to see. We already know that the LEGO Stig key chain (below) was available last year in the UK but now there might potentially be official sets in the future. Brick Fanatics has also provided an image of a concept set which features a race car trailer and the pit crew. It looks similar to the Grand Prix Truck (60025) that is currently available in stores but a little more elaborate. In my opinion, it might be a good concept but I don’t see it happening. Would anyone be interested in official LEGO Top Gear sets?

LEGO Putting Smiles On Faces Everyday

November 4, 2013 / / 0 Comments

I first came over this video on LEGO Shop’s Facebook Page and couldn’t help but to smile after watching it. To give a little back story, Brett took his son to his very first trip to the Vancouver LEGO Store, and like many other kids and adults who have an opportunity to step inside a store, the eyes get big and there’s an unforgettable smile on the face.

This is one of the reasons why I got back into LEGO. Seeing kids happy faces at the stores and it takes me back to my younger days when I would see LEGO sets on the shelves and wanting to buy everything in sight. I have friends who are Brick Specialists at the local LEGO store here in San Diego and to see them assisting kids pick out sets is pretty cool. Some may be visiting for the first time and may be picking out their first sets but one thing that is constant is the smiles that you see.
