  • Ep. 168 - Is This Still a Fairground Classic: The LEGO Ferris Wheel Review
    Apr 1 2026

    Ferris wheels are making a comeback in the LEGO world, and this episode takes a deep dive into one of the most beloved amusement park sets ever released.

    With a brand-new Friends theme Ferris wheel arriving in the LEGO lineup this summer and rumors of another classic fairground attraction returning in 2026, it felt like the perfect time to revisit one of the most iconic sets from the Creator Expert fairground collection.

    In this review, we take a close look at the 2015 Ferris Wheel set designed by Jamie Berard. From its massive footprint and unique minifigure lineup to the surprisingly simple build structure behind the scenes, we break down what makes this set so memorable more than a decade after its release.

    We also talk about where this build fits within the larger fairground series, how it compares to the other rides in the lineup, and whether the secondary market price still makes sense today for collectors.

    Is this classic amusement park centerpiece still worth adding to your collection, or has time and newer sets changed the equation? Watch the full review to see how it holds up today.

    This episode covers everything from a brand new Formula 1 helmet build to an unexpected Marvel minifigure showing up in an upcoming book release.

  • Ep. 166 - The Smart Guide to Buying Lego in 2026
    Mar 25 2026

    LEGO collecting in 2026 feels different. Prices are higher, hype moves faster, and the fear of missing out can push collectors into buying sets they may not actually need. In this episode we break down a smarter strategy for navigating the LEGO market this year with a simple approach: Buy. Wait. Skip.

    Using real examples from current sets, we walk through how to decide which sets are actually worth grabbing now, which ones are better to wait on, and which releases might be best left on the shelf entirely. We also talk about why retirement dates matter, how quickly some themes disappear from shelves, and why the biggest launches aren’t always the best day-one purchases.

    Along the way we cover helpful tools that collectors use to track sets, the reality that only LEGO truly knows when something will retire, and why even experienced collectors sometimes get it wrong. We’ll also talk about how used sets can be a perfectly smart option, why certain limited-run releases behave differently, and how seasonal sets can catch people off guard.

    Most importantly, this episode is about avoiding the trap that catches so many collectors: buying something simply because everyone else is talking about it. If you want to stretch your LEGO budget further in 2026 and make smarter decisions about what belongs in your collection, this strategy might save you a lot of money.
