Every Thursday I head over to my friend Brian’s house. For a while we were filming a show called SteamDads. It was a science based show that we enjoyed at first but really ran out of steam once we stopped coming up with experiments and ideas. It was fun to shoot but took a long time and didn’t really find much of an audience.

Brian asked me if I wanted to help him out and film an episode of his show, Built from Bricks. I agreed and it has been fun ever since. We’ve done all sorts of shows. The most popular show has been the City Updates. Brian has such a cool LEGO City being built in his garage. Each week he has something new happening and it is awesome. Tonight we shot a whole behind the scenes video that included a studio tour. The photo from today was what I shot for our Thumbnail for the episode. You can watch it below. If you haven’t already, please subscribe. We are closing in on 100 subscribers and when that happens we are going to do a big giveaway.

Brian even agreed to help me out with an episode of Big Damn Kid. I’m looking forward to going to Philly Brickfest Live with him in April. I think people are going to love the MOCS he made for his LEGO City.

It has been a little while since I’ve done a complete Toy Haul type video. I’ve been picking a few things up recently and looking at how I can better show the toys as I review, unbox and talk about them. I picked up a new little table to use after seeing one at Brian’s house. I’ll be using that in tomorrow’s video. The toys I mention int his post are for reviews that I want to do on my other blog, Big Damn Kid. I’m trying to break it up a bit with all the Transformers comic books.

Speaking of those. I have been feverishly trying to get way ahead on them because of next week’s trip to San Diego for Dad 2.0. I’m real excited to get out there but I don’t want to lose the momentum of the new channel. I can’t exactly say why I’m going so hard after it since it isn’t really generating an audience yet. I will have to start watching some Transformers videos and see if I can attract anyone to the new channel and blog. I love Transformers and it has been years of my collecting them. I even went to my parent’s this past week and looked through my collection. I didn’t do too much crawling around to get to everything but there are quite a few boxes in the attic. I’d like to go through my whole collection as individual review videos. Some unboxing videos and more. We’ll see. For now I have the video below of some of my more recent purchases.
