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

My LEGO & Hot Wheels #ForceFridayII Haul & Star Wars Rebels Season 3 Blu-ray Giveaway

Today is Force Friday II. This is the day when there are new Star Wars toys being released. I went to Target after the gym to see what was there. Target actually had two sections for the Star Wars Toys. they were in with the toys and then there was a separate section where they put the seasonal items and there were Star Wars toys, food and clothing. I did not go at midnight as there wasn’t really anything I had my heart set on. I collect Funko Pops but have not been collecting as many lately. I am sticking with the smaller stuff so I picked up some of the new Star Wars Character Cars from Hot Wheels. Here are the cars that were out in The Last Jedi packaging:

1st Appearance: BB-9E™ (Star Wars: The Last Jedi™)
1st Appearance: Elite Praetorian Guard™ (Star Wars: The Last Jedi™)
1st Appearance: First Order Executioner™ (Star Wars: The Last Jedi™)
1st Appearance: Rey, Jedi Training (Star Wars: The Last Jedi™)
New Deco: Captain Phasma™ (Star Wars: The Last Jedi™)
New Deco: Finn™ (Star Wars: The Last Jedi™)

I picked up all of them except for Captain Phasma. I did not know it was a new deco, I will have to go back. I picked up Chewbacca because I thought it was smaller then previous ones and that is not correct. I will probably return that and return Rey because there is a Two-Pack that should be out with Rey and Luke. There is also one with Kylo Ren and Snoke. Kylo Ren is the same as he was in The Force Awakens. There were other cars in the Last Jedi packaging like a Stormtrooper, Darth Vader and the aforementioned Chewbacca.

I also picked up the Star Wars LEGO Resistance Transport Pod. I got this because it was the smallest of the LEGO sets and it looked like a cool ship to build. I’m looking forward to building it. You can see everything I picked up in the video below and then after that I have a giveaway for a copy of the Star Wars Rebels Season 3 Blu-ray.
