Halloween is just around the corner…ok, not around the corner, but people tend to prepare with months now for events and holidays like this. So we thought why not start early too, with something Shelltember inspired! I was talking with Dave about what to build for Halloween and he suggested a spider. I had a recent Hornet from Hollow Knight I made for Shelltember on my desk, and the red shell looked somewhat like a spider’s body. And this is where the build started. Ah, and before you ask - this is a regular cute black spider, but he’s wearing a Spider-Man costume. This makes him a Spider-Man Spider, or a Spider-Spider, not exactly sure :D This guy is super friendly and sweet! Instructions to Build a Spider-Spider Let’s get building! So as I said, we are starting with the part that inspired this cute little fellow, the red shell/clam piece...

The LEGO Star Wars UCS Death Star (75419) is by no means a cheap set but a user on Reddit has managed to get it for “free” using only Insiders points. Of course, if you’ve been buying LEGO throughout the years and hoarding all the points without using them, a big purchase like this is valid. It required the user to use 129,998 Insiders points to get the max discount of $999.99 but it was easy for them since they’ve already banked over 150k points. Each $1 you spend earns you 6.5 points so you had to have already spent $20,000 to get the points in the first place. Even if you just shopped during the double points event, $10,000 is still a lot for anybody. LEGO also sometimes did the 4x events but those were rare. Kudos to the user that did it and we’re not worthy. I thought I...

LEGO has revealed a new set in the Wonders of the Natural World line with the Northern Lights Diorama (40785). The set has 332 pieces and it features a snowy scene in the Northern Hemisphere with the aurora borealis in the background. There’s no details yet on when the gift with purchase set will release and we can easily assume that it’ll require a $150 purchase like with the previous sets in the line. This LEGO® Northern Lights Diorama (40785) is the 4th building kit in a LEGO collectible series dedicated to the wonders of nature. The scene depicts a Northern Hemisphere landscape with a skyscape featuring the aurora borealis. Assemble the snow-topped trees then add the glow-in-the-dark moon element and the colorful tiles to represent the Northern Lights and their reflections. This set makes a great gift for kids aged 12 and up or anyone who loves the natural world....
