When You Wish Upon A Star

Hi everybody! Welcome back for the final installment of AJ Builds with Legos. Today, for the big final, I have an amazing set to share with you guys. This set is truly my proud and joy. I still to this day can not believe I have it in my collection. Disney Castle This set is every Disney fans dream set. I know that the world went crazy when this set came out. I know when I first saw it I would like to have own it too, I just never actually thought I would. I got it for Easter a few years ago and it instantly became my favorite set in my collection.  This set has so many hidden details or Easter Eggs as movie and Disney fans will call them. I find something new each time that I look at it. The front and outside of the castle is truly amazing. The people at Lego did an amazing job with this set. It is very impressive how much this set looks like the actual castle at Walt Disney World in Florida. One of my favorite details on the outside is that the top tower can fire fireworks from it. A

Only one more left after this! I can not believe this little blog series is coming to an end. I have enjoy doing this and I hope you guys have liked following along with me as well. Anyway, this time we are going back to a galaxy far, far away and looking at the most recognizable ship in the whole series.  Millennium Falcon This set is amazing. It is one of those Lego sets that I have that no one is allowed to touch. This set is not just a set to me, it is something that I earned. I had a goal that I had to reach and if I reach it, I would be have gotten this set. I never thought that I would have earned it, but I did. This set to me represents how hard work can pay off and that if you put your mind to something, you can accomplish it.  Anyway, this set is so cool. It looks just like it does in the movie and there are so many details. This set is huge too. I think it is about a foot wide and about a foot and a half long. It is massive. Let's start on the outside. This is the top vi

You've Got a Friend in Me

Hi friends! Today, we are probably going to go down memory lane for some of you. We are going to talk about the Toy Story 4 Lego sets that come out last year when the movie did. Some of you might remember the Toy Story 3 sets that come out back in 2010 (those are my absolute favorites), but we are not going to talk about those ones on my little blog unfortunately. I thought about comparing them but, instead I have decide to just talk about the Toy Story 4 sets. So let's get started. Carnival Thrill Coaster This is the smallest of the 5 Toy Story 4 sets that I am going to be talking about. My best friend bought me this set because it reminded her of the struggles we went through in physics class in high school. This set is super cute. It is perfect for little kids. I love the detail on the coaster car, it looks like a little caterpillar. I also love the new coaster track piece that Lego has been making more recently. I think it is super cool that the cars can actually move on them.

Hey everyone! Today, we are traveling to a galaxy far, far away! All you Star Wars fan out there, buckle up, I got an exciting set in store for you. We are not going to be talking about any normal set though. This set is mad with the force and has some incredible abilities. So let's hit the hyperdrive and travel into another galaxy. Master Yoda I love this build! It is so cool. This Master Yoda figurine is an amazing piece to have in any Lego collection. I got him this past year for Christmas and I never thought I would own this piece. It truly is something special. He is so tall. He stands over a foot tall, I believe, with or without the lime green lightsaber.  The detail on the outside of Yoda is super cool. Everything is build on a skeleton like tower that is on the inside of the creation. Each side of Yoda was build separately and then put on to the side of the tower. This is an incredible detail that you wouldn't notice unless you were the one building him. I also love the

  BrickHeadz I love Brickheadz! They are cute, little characters from across many different platforms. I think the main ones are Marvel and DC heroes, Disney, Harry Potter, and Star Wars. Along with different holiday characters too. I have a few in my collection so let's get started. Star Wars Let's start off in a galaxy far, far away. These are the ones that I have in my collection. I love the original trilogy characters the best. Luke and Yoda from Dagobah are my favorites. I also like the classic Princess Leia with the side buns and white dress. I am not a huge fan of Han Solo and Chewbacca, but that is mainly because they look like they do in the movie "Solo" and not the original trilogy. Kylo Ren is pretty cool too, he is the only one I have from the sequel trilogy.  Harry Potter Harry Potter and Hedwig are so cute! I love the detail on Harry, his glasses are my favorite part of the build. Hedwig is adorable, I think it is so cool that he is not a normal size eit

Going Back to Hogwarts

Calling all Potterheads! I have a blog for you! Along with being a huge Disney fan, I am also a huge Harry Potter fan. I have been watching the movies since I was little and I probably know them all by heart. If one of them is one television, I will watch it. Harry Potter weekends are the best. Anyway, let's get into the Lego set. Hogwarts I love this set! My younger self was so excited when she got it for Christmas all those years ago. I love the detail both on the inside and the outside. The front of it truly does look like you are approaching the castle from the Black Lake. A Potterhead's dream. This is one of the older versions of the Hogwarts Castle, not one of the newer sets. This one, I believe, come out in 2011 when the last movie come out.  Let's start on the right side of the castle. The outside of this part of the castle seems to be the Astronomy Tower and the giant main tower you can always recognize when they you see the castle. However, the detail on the outsi

Number 4! I can not believe that I have done 4 of these blogs so far. We still have a lot more to go so I hope that you guys continue to stick with me. Let's go into number 4 which has become one of my personal favorites.  Steamboat Willie I was so excited when this set come out! I do not know if I have every mentioned before that I am a huge Disney fan. Every time there is a Disney Lego set, I want it in my collection. When Steamboat Willie come out, I got so excited that the people at Lego created a set of the first appearance of Mickey Mouse. I thought it was amazing and a brilliant idea. I'm sure that I'm not the only Disney fan around the world that went crazy when this set was released.  This set is so cute. The detail on the boat is incredible! The boat itself is on wheels so you can steer it and makes it look like Mickey and Minnie are travelling down the river. The paddle wheels even turn while the wheels are the bottom of the boat are moving. The steam pipes also
