Reviewing the Behemoth: UCS AT-AT – Worth the Hype or Just a Wallet Buster?

In this episode, I take a deep dive into one of the largest, most expensive LEGO sets ever created: the Ultimate Collector Series AT-AT. With 6,785 pieces and a jaw-dropping $850 price tag, this set isn’t just a build—it’s an event! For LEGO Star Wars collectors, it’s a dream come true (or a financial nightmare). From the sleek box design to the intricate joint mechanisms, it’s clear the designers went all-out, leaving no brick unturned.

This towering Imperial walker is massive, impressive, and... not without its flaws. And no, I’m not just talking about that steep price. So join me as I break down the highs, lows, and tiny quirks of this mega set. Is it destined to be the crown jewel of your collection, or are you better off waiting for the next UCS masterpiece?

Exploring the Ultimate LEGO Star Wars Experience: UCS Deep Dive

In this episode, I go all-in on one of the most iconic and pricey LEGO sub-themes ever created—the Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series (UCS). For nearly 25 years, these 40 (or 46, depending on who you ask) impressive sets have not only shaped the Star Wars LEGO universe but also left a lasting mark on the LEGO brand itself. Whether you love them, hate them, or dream of owning them all, the UCS line tells a fascinating story—from the early days when LEGO was still figuring out what "ultimate collector" really meant, to today’s jaw-dropping mega-builds that demand every ounce of your budget (and patience).

So, dust off those Black VIP Cards and get ready for a hyperspace jump into the history, highlights, and controversies of the UCS lineup. There’s a ton to unpack in this galaxy of bricks, and I’ve got it all covered.

In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of LEGO with a detailed look at set #910003, the Mountain Windmill. This set was part of the LEGO Bricklink Designer Program, a unique crowd-funded initiative that took place in 2021. Among the many sets that were up for funding in November and December of that year, the Mountain Windmill was one of the lucky few that made the cut. Although it didn’t quite reach the cap of 10,000 units, with only around 9,000 sets produced, this limited-edition build still managed to captivate fans with its charm and mystique.

Priced at $180, the Mountain Windmill comes with a captivating backstory: perched high in the Boratis Mountains, it stands between the tallest peaks, shrouded in mystery. No one knows how it got there, what its purpose is, or who—if anyone—lived within its walls. Nature has slowly taken over this derelict structure, adding to its sense of intrigue and adventure.

Join me as I explore the details of this incredible set and uncover what makes it such a standout creation. Thanks for tuning in and joining me on this Full Review Friday!

In this episode, I dive deep into what might just be the most "official" unofficial LEGO theme – the LEGO Bricklink Designer Program! With an impressive 43 sets already pre-ordered or in the hands of eager fans, plus another 25 potential sets on the horizon, this program has taken off in a big way.

Join me as I explore its humble beginnings in 2018, back when LEGO didn't even own Bricklink, and take a closer look at some of the early, game-changing sets that helped shape the program. I'll also delve into the 2021 Bricklink Invitational, which was the first time the program flew under LEGO's official banner. Then, I'll wrap up with an exciting update on the 2024 Designer Program, discussing where it's at now and where I think it's headed in the future.

Whether you're a fan of unique, one-of-a-kind sets, love supporting independent LEGO designers, or even see LEGO as an investment, this episode has something for you! You won't want to miss this fun and informative deep-dive into a program that's changing the LEGO landscape. Thanks for tuning in!
