One of these days, I promise myself, I will stop being such a hard-headed contrarian when it comes to  things I consider to be fads.  Every single time some new concept goes effectively viral world-wide, I avoid it like the plague, for fear of somehow losing creativity and initiative.  That's dumb of me, and I know this, and I've known it for a long time, and yet I continually refuse to change.  Argh.Thank you all, though, for always trying to motivate me to break down my unnecessary mental barriers and give some of these things a go.Video: LEGO Minifigure Fidget Spinners! ???Original linkOriginal author: theJANG

Here's the top-of-the-line representative of this year's Coast Guard sub-theme of City.  Just ignore the name.  The HQ building is tiny, but there's a lot of other stuff to make up for it.Video: LEGO City 2017 Coast Guard Headquarters review! 60167Original linkOriginal author: theJANG

And now for something... completely different.  Building this set filled me with impetus to break free from my self-imposed confines of normalcy and do my first out-of-studio review in quite a few years.Video: Mega Construx Halo Warzone Wasp Strike reviewOriginal linkOriginal author: theJANG

This is definitely a type of set I'd never have expected LEGO to make, with the vast majority of the price and value in the form of named, licensed characters.  Typically every company wants to split up named characters into as many different products as possible to entice people to spend more.  This is the opposite, and I am deeply grateful for it.Video: LEGO Star Wars Bounty Hunter Battle Pack review!
