LEGO’s Brickmaster Club Visits the Dark Side
I usually test out potential paramours by informing them that I’m a member of the LEGO Brickmaster club.

3D Batman LEGO Zoetrope As I come to the conclusion of my first can of Hello Boss French Roast Coffee (containing “coffeine!”) from the local Asian grocery store, I break from plushies and softies to bring you some coverage of all things hard, shiny, flashy and kinetic.
