Brickin’ Pod 2 - 75978 Diagon Alley Sep 01, 2020

Show notes

Hey Hey! Welcome all you LEGO Muggles. Welcome to the latest Special Brickin' Pod Episode!!! The Podcast episode designed completely around the latest LEGO Harry Potter Set...... 75978 Harry Potter Diagon Alley!!
So, our last Brickin' Pod episode was for the Nintendo Entertainment System Set. Which turned out to be a hit! So as Harry Potterer nerd, super excited to hear the rumors going around about the latest direct to consumer set focused on Diagon Alley. I was not disappointed! So we got to work and this time, we have a special guest. We had the honor of sharing the stage with Cassie from Podtrificus Totalus!
Podtrificus Totalus is a Harry Potter read-along podcast done chapter by chapter, book by book. It is currently on a short break between seasons (Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban). For every episode, we have an in-depth discussion of the plot, lore, etymologies, allusions, and characters.
She's also a big Harry Potter LEGO fan too and we have a ton of fun talking about all things LEGO and Harry Potter.
This Special Podcast Episode is the first "Brickin' Pod" designed to be played alongside your building experience. Take a listen to this episode as you construct your own Diagon Alley and learn about its creation through the books, previous LEGO sets, and impact on the real-life Diagon Alley in Universal Studios. As a companion podcast episode to your build, it will produce you with details about how J.K. Rowling's words jumped off the paged and brought to like this magical marketplace hopefully bring you some facts and history that will make you truly appreciate the set even more!
Purchase your LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley at LEGO.COM!

"I build the things with the bricks..."
This week we get right down to business. We dive into our Designer Interview with Adam Dodge from Flickr. With his many creative builds we get into how he really gets to that creative point. We all are looking to work faster on our stuff. Sometimes it just takes time and lots of practice! Due to some technical difficulties the episode may sound a bit choppy.

Brick 17 - Rui Miguel Anacleto (fnxrak) Designer Interview Aug 16, 2020

Show notes

We dive back into a galaxy far far away. This time with designer Rui Miguel Anacleto with his stunning LEGO Star Wars Designs! He had taken on the challenge of the Star Wars droids, dioramas, and many more on his Flickr, Instagram and Facebook pages. We get to see how he went from no LEGO sets to just a few (well, more than a few) in just a few years and how it gave him a way to escape this work and dive into a LEGO galaxy. Great fun to talk with Rui and his work speaks for itself!

Brick 16 - Victor (LeewanLego) Designer Interview Aug 10, 2020

Show notes

This week's Designer Interview took two tries, but, it's well worth the second take! Victor (LeewanLego) is an outstanding LEGO Designer dedicated to getting the details just right. He brings not only an epic take on how LEGO bricks can come together in the design process, but also creates stories that can take you into another world! He was recently chosen to be featured in the LEGO House for just one of his epic creations but the rest of his work cannot be missed. We talk about how he evolved as a designer and used his profession to advance his LEGO Digital designs.
