To celebrate the boundless creativity of the sets available now, we shipped them to various talented AFOLs to play with and dream about. What would they do with the sets? Would they dream or have a nightmare? (If you’ve read yesterday’s article you already know the answer…) Let’s embrace the dark! Aiden Rexroad’s Dream Dragon Aiden Rexroad is from Florida and is a character and creature builder. They can be found online on BrickNerd, Flickr and Instagram.
