I saw this block building kit at Walgreens. It was a Peeps basket. Looked very cute as a decoration for Easter, so I got it and built it on my lunch break at work yesterday.

It looks very cute in my office and went together nicely.

Would get another kit from Brick Craft to try out.

I was at Five Below with the kids this past weekend and for $1, I found a bin that had some Retro Blocks block building kits from Block Tech. They had a number of 80s looking items, including this faux Gameboy with the wrong number of buttons.

I've not done any Block Tech kits before and wasn't sure how well they held up, but for a buck, I was willing to take the risk.

It connected together pretty easy. Easy enough instructions and it looks like a cute, fake Gameboy.

Would get another one.

If I told you a picture is not enough to share the building brick train station, last year I would not have believed myself.

Not sponsored: I can totally recommend Lumibricks if you think alternatives are too expensive or have other drawbacks. There were no missing parts and brick quality is good. No stickers at all, only prints - there a plenty, all looking fantastic.

If you do not like the cyberpunk style, my wife is building a steam punk set which I might share when its done.

I started building this year's #WinterVillage and began with something very #NotLego, Fun Whole's "Ski Lodge". It's a tad bigger than I thought (as I ignored the size info when I bought it).

On to the next building.

So Aldi Nord has this set at the moment aimed for children 5+ (glad I'm already older🤪) for 20 Euros.
My plan, after building it, is to dismantle it and build a space ship with its parts, so I will absolutely not use the stickers in the set.

My thought for a name would be something like the A.L.D. - Nord-mandy just to get that annoyed look from everyone knowing Mass Effect.

On a second thought I am clearly dismantling capitalism for a higher goal. If I manage to snatch the other two items in this set, an Aldi Transport Truck and an Aldi Forklifter I may even get more creative.

If you have children or like such construction sets Aldi is notorious for only having small quantities and as far as I know it's on sale since Monday.

Oh my God, I didn't know I need this.
