Let's Talk Bricks with Ken

Ken Chien

Let's talk about something important - my love affair with LEGO! Ever since picking up an architecture set at Barnes and Noble, I was hooked by LEGO - again, this time a full grown adult. Listen as I muse about my favorite sets and series. New gossip and rumors. Reviews of the latest sets. Elation and frustrations...sleepless nights and going hungry - all about LEGO. A fellow AFOL might appreciate me. A stranger might find me amusing. And I'm only one of the crazy ones!PS: I'll do random episodes in Mandarin Chinese for Chinese AFOLs that wants to learn some simple English. Like how to say "Modular." read less

Let them all be 18+ sets!

Let them all be 18+ sets!
2020 saw the debut of LEGO's 18+ age labeling.  It marks LEGO's clearest pivot towards the adult market.  With sets that are more difficult to build, packaged nicer, and can be displayed...the 18+ sets has a lot going for it.  Until LEGO made every set an 18+ set, even sets that are clearly children's play sets.  Where do we go from here?

Modular does it!
Lego doesn't just make toys for kids, the best example you need is to take a look at a Modular Building.  This line of wonderful buildings, built with interesting and intricate detail, is suited to be proudly displayed as a badge of honor.  And they live on too in value, as certain used sets brings in the money!
