Well, as my regular readers know, I am all about the LEGO. I am really all about the LEGO Technic, as I have written two books on them. There was Practical LEGO Technics and LEGO Technic Robotics. I decided to check out three different new LEGO Technic sets with Jeep Wrangler (42122), Monster Jam Max-D (42119), and Remote-Controlled Stunt Racer (42095). Our Review of the … [Read more...] about Our Review of Lego Technic Sets: Jeep Wrangler (42122), Monster Jam Max-D (42119), and Remote-Controlled Stunt Racer (42095)

Lego is working with Warner Brothers Interactive for some new toys
If you are not into Minecraft or some kind of construction toy, then you might want to see what Lego is doing with their interactive toys. They already have Fusion, which is where the Lego creator makes something that they can make come alive in the virtual world. Yes, I wish I had written about Fusion, but from what my Source tells me, Warner Brothers Interactive is … [Read more...] about Lego is working with Warner Brothers Interactive for some new toys
My Review of Lego Marvel Heroes
Unlike my last review of the Golf-X-Cube, I actually have a lot of experience playing LEGO-oriented video games. In fact, I have everyone that they have made since the first LEGO Star Wars, and I love them a lot, even though they have changed very little since their conception. For those that are not familiar with them, the LEGO games are usually tied in with a popular … [Read more...] about My Review of Lego Marvel Heroes
Introducing the Lego Rental System of Pleygo
I think I have seen several sources call Pleygo "the Netflix for LEGO sets", and I guess this is as good of a description as any.

It is similar to the way we watch a movie: we … [Read more...] about Introducing the Lego Rental System of Pleygo
Hands on with the Lego Mindstorms EV3
I first covered the Lego Mindstorms version 3, or EV3, at CES last January. I finally had a chance to try out the 45544 Lego Mindstorms Education EV3 Core Set, and it took me very little time to learn how to use, but it has infinite possibilities. The set comes with the EV3 Intelligent Brick, which is a small computer with about 8 ports, not to mention a USB port an SD … [Read more...] about Hands on with the Lego Mindstorms EV3
LEGO now has Back to the Future models
I don't know if you are familiar with Lego Cuusoo, but it is a site devoted to showing off Lego creations. Some of them get voted on, and become official toys for the number one building block company. Such was the case for the Back To The Future collection, and you can see the iconic time-traveling Delorean from all three movies. It looks like they have three separate … [Read more...] about LEGO now has Back to the Future models
Lego Technic Robotics and other Lego advancements with a PS3
I believe that I have discussed my first Technic Lego book, and the fun that I had creating very cool vehicles made from Technic parts. While I was writing that book, I wanted to have a section on robots. Actually, it was about two chapters, and as it turned out, I was able to turn those two chapters into an entire book. Relax, there is no redundancy factor. I found … [Read more...] about Lego Technic Robotics and other Lego advancements with a PS3
