Maz Kanata of Star Wars fame recently opened Antiques on Original
Avenue. With an exterior reminiscent of Plumb Bob's Hardware, the shop
features three floors of one-of-a-kind antiques.
"No lightsabers," said Kanata. "That kind of thing only happens in the movies."
If you've been waiting for your chance to own one of my custom Lego creations, the time is now! My custom modular building, the Lego City Apple Store is now available on eBay. There is only one, so when it's gone, it's gone.
I wasn't sure what to do with the Lego Ideas 123 Sesame Street playset when it came out. Inspiration finally struck, resulting in two 16-stud modular buildings that houses Bert and Ernie's room, Elmo's room, Cookie Monster's room, and even has a tree out back for Big Bird. Big Bird's tree has finally grown up to provide from shade. (You may recognize it as the apple tree from the Medieval Blacksmith set.) Bert and Ernie's room Elmo's room Hooper's Store Interior Cookie Monster's room In the end, it makes a pretty nice set of two-story modulars - if you add a bunch of extra bricks to build out the sides and backs of the buildings.
It's always a challenge to make plant life look real in Lego scenes - even when you're using the new botanical pieces. Fortunately, the Lego Queer Eye Fab 5 Loft (10291) gives us several nicely styled potted plants that can improve any modular scene - in a living room or on the street. This big pot of Lego leaves looks great in the Fab 5 Loft and even better, in my opinion, on the sidewalk in front of a modular building. With just seven pieces, it's a quick build and one of my favorite things! The Fab 5 Loft is now on sale at Lego.com for 40% off - just $59.99!
