I love A Christmas Story. The main character Ralphie is wonderful. The voice over work is awesome and what other Christmas movie gets a whole day marathon. Everyone know the meaning of “Fra-G-LAy” (phonetical) and that it is Italian. Who hasn’t said “fudge” but didn’t say “Fudge” in front of their parents? You get to see the little guy win, then lose and then win again, just to go and shoot his eye out. There are so many fantastic things to say about this movie that it requires another viewing each and every year. So spend some time with Ralphie and his family and watch A Christmas Story. I love seeing it every year.
The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...
