Today was a day that I’ve been waiting for! Today was the day that the Star Wars Millennium Falcon was released in stores and this was the largest most expensive LEGO set ever. And I didn’t even have to buy it. No, I did not get it for free. My friend and co-host of Built from Bricks, Brian bought it because this was something that his son CJ had always wanted and he is building it as a tribute to his son. He let me build a little, too.

This was a very hard set to get because only so many of them would be released in stores. Brian was up at 4am to get over to the Providence Place Mall to be first in line to pick up the set. His plans were to Livestream the build all day and there was no way that he was going to miss getting this set. Luckily he got there first and was able to secure the very first one sold at the store that day.

This is a Massive Box. It was so massive that a handle was added to it as well as wheels so that people could carry it out of the store.

Now, Brian was at the store for many hours waiting to get the first set. I showed up with 15 minutes to go before the doors opened to capture the purchase on Facebook Live. You casn see that and our other livestream videos below. Continue reading Building the LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon set #71592 with Built from Bricks →

Unboxing the Smuggler’s Bounty Star Wars 40th Anniversary Box

Smugglers Bounty Star Wars 40th Anniversary Box

I am a subscriber to the Star Wars Smuggler’s Bounty box from Funko and this month’s box was the 40th Anniversary box. I’ve read a bunch of reviews of this and people are really harsh about it. There were five items in the box. There was the usual patch and pin, a giant Funko piece, wristbands and a set of salt and pepper shakers. The thing that people were most complained about was that there was nothing for Princess Leia in the box. There easily could have been a Princess Leia patch or pin included. I personally missed seeing one of those pages that tells me what is coming next time. I like it because it talks about the items in the box. Having that not included bummed me out. Sure I would have loved to have a shirt instead of wristbands, that is a given. I always want T-Shirts. I would have loved a re-creation of the iconic poster for Star Wars: A New Hope made into a T-Shirt using Funko figures. Well, here is what is in the box, I liked it but it could have been better.
