It's December, and that means we're counting down to two things Star Wars The Last Jedi and Christmas (not necessarily in that order). And what better way to count down that with a LEGO clock or watch? Join me as I check out a new Stormtrooper alarm clock and BB-8 watch as build a couple holiday polybags. Anything that passes the time before Santa visits is a good thing right?

BrickNerd LiveBuild - Batman Movie Clayface Splat Attack

1,000,000 Views!

I'm having a hard time believing it, but sometime between yesterday and today BrickNerdTV, the official YouTube channel of BrickNerd.com passed one million views! When I launched the website and the accompanying YouTube channel just over three years ago, crossing this threshold was not even a notion that crossed my mind. In those days I shot in my garage, and had to setup and strike in one day so my wife could park her car when she got home. Now I write this sitting in the studio that has continued to grow for over two years since I moved in. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all that watched, commented (well, some of you :-) and shared. I'm looking forward to making some more silliness to share with you, and I can't wait to celebrate the next landmark, whatever it is. I love you all!

Holy guacamole, we passed 1,000,000 views! Thank you all so much for watching, I look forward to the next million.

BrickNerd Live Build - Caterham Seven

I've only ever seen a Caterham Seven in the wild once, at a mall in Irvine CA, but I was instantly smitten. Of course I've seen Caterham cars on TopGear many time, but seeing it in person was different. It's an unusual beast, with a energy even when parked. Well now I get to build one, and you should join me while I do it. It's guaranteed 13% more exciting than watching bananas discolor in real-time. Building starts at 10am PST, see you then!

LiveBuild Tomorrow!

The fine folks at LEGO were kind enough to send me a copy of the gorgeous new Caterham 7 Ideas set, and I want to build it with YOU! We don't see many of these cool cars here in the states (unless you hang out in Beverly Hills or know Simon Cowell) so they're extra exotic here. I can't wait to build it!

Join me live tomorrow morning at 10am PST, see you then!
