Probably the most classic children’s Christmas movie ever. A story about finding your place in the world and the cruelty that can befall you and how friends can help lift you higher than you’ve ever gone before. When I was a kid, before Tivo, DVDs and VCRs I would have to wait all year to see Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. And when you were a kid that movie felt like it was epic and that it took forever. I look back and imagine that movie being about 4 hours long but it was probably because I was 7 and it was on close to or past my bedtime and I just was tired. I just love the parts with Yukon Cornelius. The movie is wonderful and should be a part of your collection.
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...
