Now that you have received this box, I am ordering contents for the September box.

What did you like, what did you hate? Send me your suggestions to help shape the boxes to come. I want to see LEGO advertisements as a canvas in a modernist style, to be juxtaposed with another art style, this time graffiti. I asked him to tag them up, however he saw fit. I sent him a bunch of old medium-sized LEGO advertisement magazines, the ones that used to be included in sets (bring it back!). He is also a friend of mine in the nerd culture. is a former (present?) graffiti artist from Florida. Last but not least is a concept I had a while back that I have attempted to bring to life. I plan to bring you some of each every month. I love new pieces almost as much as I love retired pieces. You got something old, now here’s something new! Part number 27266 Brick Round 2×2 with Spikes and Axle Hole is new this year, comes in 3 colors so far, and only appears in the Nexo Knights theme.

But did you know they also make their own non-dairy or coffee-based beverages? What do you think they sell in all of those gas stations? #DrinkOctan
#AUGUST 2017 LEGO SETS TV#
How do you follow up Classic Cola? Well with Octan’s finest! We all know that the Octan Corporation makes lots of good stuff such as music, dairy products, coffee, TV shows, surveillance systems, all history books, voting machines, and fossil & renewable energy. You got a question right and they gave you this surprisingly heavy bottle opener! Well if you don’t remember, you were out with friends, enjoying some drinks and company at what is most certainly the closest thing to a bar that LEGO has ever released as a set. This metal bottle opener serves as a promotional item that you yourself won on trivia night at The Guarded Inn. This was one of the first items I ordered when I committed to Clutch’s Secret Stash. Those guys are all called bricksters as well. Oh look, it’s the Brickster from LEGO Island! You may find that the Brickster is harder to search for now because of the, well, brick-shaped “minifigures” from some of the newer nightmare-themed Nexo Knights sets. This is one of those pieces that isn’t the easiest to order on BrickLink as many sellers would not know the difference between 4697A and 4697B.ĭid you know the Neighborhood Watch character from the logo has a name? Boris the Burglar is very much a registered trademark. The original mold lends itself better to non-pneumatic, non-Technic connections since it does not have the reinforced intersection in the middle. The newest style #4697B was introduced in the late 1980s and is still produced today in 3 colors. This version only appeared in Light Gray and was discontinued in 1996. A three-way intersection that was also bar-width and took a plume peg in any of the openings. Introduced in Technic in 1984, this piece served as a connector for pneumatic tubing. The pneumatic T Piece #4697A has not always been the sleek, shiny robot hinge you know and love. They must be getting them from the same source… If they had a menu, I bet it would look like every other Pizzeria’s menu. Eh, you’ll have to look up the song from the LEGO Island soundtrack. If you didn’t know, this is the pizzeria at which the protagonist of the LEGO Island franchise works. If I know one thing about Mama and Papa Brickolini, it is that they will not, under any circumstances, make for you a dish of linguine. I’ll admit, I may be too large of a LEGO Island fan. Is your refrigerator prepared? Another magnet, this time for the Brickolini Pizzeria. The fact that you purchased this LEGO Lifestyle mystery box at all is a testament to how revolutionary this original printed tile was. We have seen more and more prints like this that break out of the in-world aesthetic of classic LEGO sets to make more connections with those who build LEGO sets.


The Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci re-imagined in LEGO form as the Vitruvian Minifigure. Life on Mars, a theme from 2001, brought us a very special printed tile.
