LEGO Gameboy

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02454

I found the new LEGO Gameboy today at Target. This is one that I'd been waiting for for a while. The build as fairly quick but it was one of the most well constructed set that I've seen in a while. IT has the same size as the original Gameboy from Nintendo and it comes with 3 lenticular screens that you can put into the game plus two cartridges. Super Mario Land, which I never had and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, which I also never had.  I played Tetris all the time on the Gameboy, but I also had some other fun games to play like a fighting game and Tennis and some other games. 

I remember when I got my Gameboy. I was working at The Dairy Tower on Cape Cod and my boss had a BJ's membership. We went to BJ's and bought the gameboy plus a brick of batteries. So many batteries were used playing that Gameboy over the years. I remember taking my Gameboy with me on a road trip with my friend James and his family. We went to and from Florida. We had the wire that connected the two Gameboys so that we could play head to head. It was great. Sore thumbs and tons of dead batteries. It passed the time well.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

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...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.
