You’ve still got time to save up those pennies because pre-orders don’t open until next year! So, start that piggy bank now—your future self will thank you.
And speaking of future awesomeness, mark your calendars for May 15th! I’m about to break down a set that might just be the holy grail of LEGO speedsters—the brand-new LEGO Mario Kart!  Whether it’s the sleek, smooth lines that would make even the fanciest Italian supercar blush, the ridiculously charming character, or the surprisingly decent price tag, this set is nothing short of pure, unadulterated perfection.
But wait—hold your Krusty Burgers because we’ve got some super juicy rumors on the horizon! Yep, LEGO is cooking up something wild with a new Simpsons Krusty Burger set, hitting shelves on June 1st! The rumor mill’s churning, and word on the street is there’s a new minifig that’s got Bart Simpson absolutely shaking. What could it be? A radioactive Krusty? Zombie Homer? Or, maybe someone far - far more sinister...
And finally, because your shelf space isn’t complete without a little epic fantasy flair, brace yourselves for some Lord of the Rings magic! Yes, you heard it right—Book Nooks are coming to LEGO! If you’re anything like me, you’ll be clearing a prime spot on the shelf for these amazing miniature worlds tucked between your favorite novels. I’m talking hobbit holes, epic journeys, and tiny Gandalf just chilling next to your hardcovers. It’s the ultimate blend of nerdiness and class.
So, buckle up and stick around until the end of the episode for all the details, laughs, and possibly a little bit of fanboying on my part. Don’t forget to share the brick love with your friends!

Ep. 51 - The Brick Break-up: When Lego Themes Need to Say Goodbye

Welcome, fellow brick enthusiasts, to an episode that dares to tackle a potential controversial question in the Lego universe: When is it time for a Lego theme to bite the dust? Let’s face it—over the years, Lego has graced us with nearly 200 different themes. Some have become timeless classics, while others... well, let’s just say they’re the building equivalent of leaving a brick on the floor in the dark.
In today’s episode, I’m diving headfirst into this delicate (but oh-so-fun) topic. I’ll be dissecting the current lineup of 35 Lego themes available to us in 2025. And here’s where it gets spicy: I’m calling out four themes that, in my humble but entirely correct opinion, should gracefully bow out and retire to the great Lego bin in the sky. Yup, it’s time to Marie Kondo this lineup and ask, “Does this theme still spark joy?”
But don’t worry—it’s not all doom and gloom! I’m also pitching four brand-new themes that I think deserve a shot at Lego stardom. What could these be? Well, let’s just say my picks are bold, fun, and 100% subjective. It’s time to unleash some creativity and give the Lego lineup a much-needed refresh.
So, grab your favorite building set, pour yourself a mug of coffee (or something stronger if your favorite theme might make my cut list), and join me as we take a deep dive into the world of Lego themes. Whether you agree, disagree, or just want to laugh at my wildly biased takes, this episode is going to be a blast! Thanks for tuning in!
