About The Brick Builder Blog

Welcome Aboard!

Welcome to "Brick Builder Snarf"! This is a blog dedicated to all of my adventures involving anything LEGO. Here you will find me building sets, time-lapse videos, loot box reviewing, and anything else LEGO related. Any age of persons is able to enjoy a good, wholesome LEGO build.

How Did This All Start?

I recently got back into building some LEGO sets again because they have always proven to be a great stress reliever. The more I got into them the more I discovered there is a whole community surrounding the art of building and sharing LEGO content. This ranges from all ages and all genres of builds. People build sets and some people build their own sets. People collect mini figures and some people create their own mini figures. The amount of different ways to enjoy LEGO is pretty endless. Discovering all the different blogs, Instagram profiles, and Facebook communities really opened my eyes to what can be found within this niche community. From all this, I was inspired to create my own LEGO content and share it with other people. 

What Are Your Plans For All Of This?

There really isn't an end goal. I just enjoy building and want to share it with other people. Building a large viewer base would be really neat but beyond that, I just want to share the joy of the craft. I hope that other people will be able to relate and see that all different skill levels of LEGO builders are able to take part in the LEGO hype. I want to give an honest and casual look at what it is like to be a hobbyist in the LEGO community because I am far from an expert myself.



So hopefully you'll stick around and enjoy the content as I begin to expand more on this blog. I warn you though, it is an addictive hobby and you'll find yourself down quite a few pretty pennies the deeper you dig into it. But enjoy none the less!

Let's Build - LEGO City - "Jungle Starter Kit"

I'm back at it again with the Jungle theme from the LEGO City series. This time I did the "Jungle Starter Kit" which is set #60157. I had previously done the "Jungle Buggy" build and this one seems to have the same feel and characters. I really liked this set because I got a few cool things from it. I now have a camera piece that I can use which will be a great and fun addition when I am taking photos because I will be able to incorporate it into my photo shoots for even more inclusion. I also got a minifigure headpiece that has two facial expressions so I can use this when I want to change the mood of a character as the scene calls for. With all that being said, I tried to include some of the elements mentioned above in this shoot. Hopefully, you can see what I am talking about and will get as much enjoyment from it as I did putting it together and staging it.

First Purchase From A LEGO Store

I got the chance to visit the LEGO store at the Easton Mall in Columbus today. I had been there before, but I had never purchased anything. I figured today was my chance to indulge and finally buy something. I bought 2 simple sets and a Gold Brick key chain. It only cost about $26 so I was really pleased with the pricing. If it was more conviniet I would totally come here for all LEGO purchases but for now I will probably have to stick to ordering online or from Walmart or Target.

Let's Build - LEGO Creator (3 in 1) - "Speed Boat"

Today I did another set build from the LEGO Creator set 31071. It has 109 pieces included in it and has 3 different ways to build. I started off with the Fighter Plane build and now I have moved onto the Speed Boat build. The spotlight and the giant fan on the back are easily my favorite part of this build. There were a few parts that I had actually never used before and it taught me a few ways to use them in the future.
