I've always had a fond spot for NASA and the space program, and the deepest respects for those men and women who make it happen. This new LEGO Ideas set celebrates some of the women who blazed the trail to the final frontier. Join us as we build it live starting at 10am PST.
Yes, it's been too long since we've built live, so let's do it! Join me and Mrs BrickNerd as we build the new LEGO Ideas 21312 Women of NASA live.
Building starts at 10am PST, it's a fairly small set so it won't take very long, perhaps we'll sneak in something else to build. See you then!
Attention LEGO nerds, sports buffs, Michael Jordan fans and shoe hounds, we've got a special event just for you.

Building starts at 8:00pm PST, watch for the hangout shared on Facebook and join us!
While we were in Portugal for Paredes de Coura Fan Weekend we had the distinct pleasure of rooming with the group from LEGO. One of those people was LEGO designer Tiago Catarino, and we learned that his first set was newly on the market. Well, needless to say we nabbed one for him to sign, and another to build.
Join us tomorrow at 8pm PST while we build it live!

Batman has many enemies, but none are quite so unusual as Clayface. I mean, how do you fight a guy made of clay? Well, come to think of it, bringing some water, a throwing wheel and a little patience might be an approach, but I digress.

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!
It's time for another round of Disney magic! Yesterday we started building the Disney Castle, and over the course of about 5 hours we managed to get just over half way done. It's a magnificent set, full of wonderful details and interesting techniques.
Join us today as we finish it. Building starts at 9am PST, see you then!
We're huge Disney fans at our house. We go to Disneyland several times a year, we're Disney Vacation Club owners and we can't get enough of Begal BBQ and Dole Whips. Obviously we're also huge fans of LEGO (duh) so when those worlds collide you can bet we get excited. Join me and Mrs BrickNerd live for the next two days starting 9am PST as we build the new Disney Castle. It's going to be a magical time!
Me and Mrs BrickNerd were considering visiting Disneyland this weekend, but then this showed up in the mail. Yes, thanks to a little Disney magic, pixie dust and LEGO generosity we're bringing Disneyland to us. Yes, technically this is from Magic Kingdom in Florida, and we're west coasters, but we love Disney World too, just can't get there as often. This is going to be an epic build, so we're going to split it into two days. Starting this Friday, Sept 16th at 9am PST and continuing on Saturday at 9am PST we're going to tackle this mighty but magical set, join us!
VW has been an important part of my life. The first family car I remember was a beetle, my first car was a beetle and I drive a beetle now. So to say I'm excited about this set is a bit of an understatement. I know this is last minute and I'm sorry I didn't announce it yesterday, but I can't wait to build this little beauty.
Join me live at 2pm PST as I build the amazing new LEGO 10252 Volkswagen Beetle live!
Mixels series 8 is out and we've got the whole collection. Join me and Mrs. BrickNerd as we build the Medix, Pyrratz and MCFD live starting at 1pm PST. Grab the popcorn, make a sandwich, find a comfy place to sit and get ready for some riveting building. Will I say something stupid? (absolutely) will Dianna make a building mistake? (who knows) Will it be more entertaining than the last Fantastic 4 movie? (guaranteed)
