Hurry, Hurry, Drive the Fire Truck

 Hi everyone! I am AJ. I have been an active Lego builder since I was a kid. It all started in a basement and it continue to grow and grow into what it is today. I love buying and building sets and making custom builds. I love all things Lego and I will never grow out of them. 

I have decided to write this blog to review some of my favorite sets. I want to give my opinions and hopefully maybe help you decide if you would want to try and build them. So let's get started!

Fire Station


The first set that I'm deciding to review first is my fire station. I got this set when I was about ten years old and it has been one of my favorites every since. I love the whole theme around it. It is the set that I like to continue to build on and change around. I have added a few of my own elements like a hobo robot by the trashcan and a criminal hiding there with him. There is also an exterminator catching a skunk along the side. I added these things to give the set a little more character when I added it to the cityscape. 

I love the how the set has different moving parts like the doors for the garage and the ladder on the trucks. You can manually put up and down the doors to let the two trucks that come with the set in and out. I have added parts from all fire sets to this station, like stuff from the Lego Advent Calendars and the Fire Motorcycle.
I have also include this mini fire truck of mine with the station. I believe that this was from a Lego Creator set from a few years back.
It was my first fire truck and it felt appropriate to have it with my fire station. 


I also love how interactive the mini figure part of the station is. I love how you can have them relaxing in the lounge and kitchen area, working at the desk, or grabbing their tools for a rescue. I enjoy setting them up in different positions and having them look like they are doing different things. I think that it gives more life to the whole set. 


Above is all the Fire Lego mini figures that I have. Going from left to right, the first five are which ones came with the station. The rest are from various advent calendars, sets, and mystery mini figure packets. The more mini figures, the better your story with the station can be. 

Over all, that is what I think of the Lego Fire Station. Thank you all for reading! I hope to see you next time! Bye!

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

  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

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
