He's the greatest. He's fantastic. Wherever there is danger he'll be there! He's the ace. He's amazing. He's the strongest, he's the quickest, he's the best! Danger Mouse. He's terrific. He's magnific. He's the bravest secret agent in the world! Danger Mouse. Power House. He's the fastest, he's the greatest, he's the best! Danger Mouse. Danger Mouse! DANGER MOUSE!!!! Turns out my timing of this couldn't be more perfect seeing how the series has just been brought back this September a couple days ago to CBBC.

In the past of I have relied on third party software to help me determine the cheapest possible route when buying parts from Bricklink. Brickficiency and Brick Wizard are two great programs that do that. However, both of these programs seem to be broken. Brickficiency hasn't been updated since Nov 2014 and Brick Wizard was from Jan 2015. It does sound like the developer of Brick Wizard is aware of the current issues and may have a solution however he doesn't have the time to update the program. Has anyone found a replacement program? Or am I stuck with just searching the store masses to find the best combinations? Thanks,

A dark cloud has settled over Legoland, as war has erupted between two of its proudest themes! For over a year, Heartlake City and Fabuland have coexisted by maintaining a tenuous ceasefire. That all changed the day after the Communist Dictator of Fabuland passed away, leaving his only son to take his place. Eager to prove he is nobody's fool, and clearly trying to compensate for a plethora of shortcomings, Fabuland's new leader, Patrick Pig has declared war on the Friends of Heartlake City! As a result of this provocation, President Olivia and Secretary of Defense Mia, has called their Friends to arms. Inside sources tell us that they haven't seen the Friends this fire…

Hey Everyone, I will be starting a live stream in about 40 mins. I will be building the 6973 - Deep Freeze Defender from the Ice Planet theme. Come on over and hang out. twitch.tv/silburned

Based on a classic age where tantalizing tales of science fiction and pleasing aesthetical forms of art came together to create a captivating concept of an alternate future utopia about ray guns, star travel, hulking robots, and invaders from beyond, these builds capture this essence of a "retro future" in all its delightfully quirky charms. While many if not most of the designs could hardly be considered practical or efficient by today's real world standards of technology and leisure, nevertheless much like a vintage car what matters is the look of the ride itself.

I know some of you are into Fantasy Baseball, Football, etc. I was curious if anyone out there keeps any kind of stats or logs? I guess the main thing that came to my head was something along the lines of a piece per minute stat. Simply meaning after opening your first bag, how many pieces can you put together per minute? I was wondering this while putting together 75082 Tie Advanced Prototype. I liked the set and everything, but seemed to be zooming through at a good clip. Although it did have a few repeat builds which made it easy. But that got me thinking if that is something to track or not? I mean it does take some brain power to be able to see what pieces are needed…

Last week the news was all abuzz regarding the new star wars toys. That got the new movie on my mind and all the wonderful ships in the show. Thought I would do a little rendition of a ship that is little recognized, but one of my favorites nonetheless. See more pics and information at http://mocpages.com/moc.php/419160

Everyone remember Technic set 42025? Great set to be sure, but IMO in need of some improvements. I have documented more about the changes and the process of making the changes along with pics at: http://mocpages.com/moc.php/418746#reviews but briefly, here are some pics and video of the changes. Check it out!

Over at Classic-Castle is the beginning of new contest titled "Castle goes to Space". If I am properly understanding the terms correctly, the core concept is to take an officially released set either Space related (Star Wars, Alien Conquest, Futuron, etcetera) and transform it into a Castle themed one or from the Castle side (Knights Kingdom, Vikings, Ninja, The Hobbit, so on) and turn it into a Space type design. (In short, Castle -> Space or Space -> Castle.) Here is a good example from a prior contest where the entry had 'Castlefied' set 7749 Echo Base from Star Wars. I suspect some ideas have better possibilities in making the transition from one era to the …

Don't recall anyone else discussing this, so I apologize if this is old news. Has any seen the traveling LEGO Americana Roadshow that's currently on tour at various malls across America this year? It's currently at the Riverchase Galleria in Birmingham. I only had time to snap quick iPhone pics of 4/9 attractions, but I plan to go back Labor Day Weekend with my camera for a complete documentation.

The new Arocs Technic truck (42043) should excite a lot of people. With the new pneumatic II pieces that are out, the set will one day bring in a nice price on the secondary market. However, I love it for other reasons. Just finished building it....and it was a blast. Also, I remember years ago when the Mercedes Benz Unimog came out and Artifex Creations put out a lighting kit specifically designed for the truck which was pretty cool. Their site is down for maintenance, and I am not sure if they are in the Lego lighting business anymore, but I thought of doing the same thing with the Arocs. I used the products are lifelights.com. Pretty happy with the results. A brief …

Designed as a study in East Asian architecture, this set of instructions for a modular Chinese Restaurant features easy to find pieces and manageable sub component directions. Learn curved, temple style roofs, build lanterns, panel windows, a pond with a traditional bridge, and even a bowl of rice for the classic food sign.

In the endless fires at the center of the dark world by the rocks of despair sounds a voice. It is a black, evil Voice that creates and controls vile powers harvested through toxic energies. Winding wings catch the dark air while unyielding bones march trough flames. Even the one from above cannot hide from it. Some say the castle lives, some say the Voice is dead. Someone could be a fool. The Voice of Evil (Not related but somehow the tune fits and just makes this MOC that more awesome. )

Add this Warehouse to your train layout for a realistic industrial setting. With plenty of room for trains, trucks, offices, and a working crane, your city district's shipping yard is about to get a lot bigger! Efficient design minimizes amount of parts needed to maximize space by utilizing large plates for walls and the removable roof. (Technic bricks are included in the design on one side to allow connection with Cafe Corner standard structures.)
