Brace yourself, brickheads—today we're diving face-first into one of the weirdest, wildest, and most unsettlingly enormous LEGO sets ever to menace a shelf. We’re talking about set 10018: the UCS Darth Maul Bust, a 2001 relic from a galaxy far, far away and one of the very first Ultimate Collector's Series sets LEGO ever unleashed on the world. Back then, this Sith sculpture would set you back a mere $150. Fast forward to now, and if you want a brand-new one, you'll need to cough up over $4000—or trade in a speeder and maybe a limb.

Why so much? Maybe it’s the 1,868 pieces. Maybe it’s the nostalgia. Or maybe it’s because this thing is massive, and staring into its dead red eyes feels like Maul himself is judging your life choices. It's part modern art, part nightmare fuel—and we’re breaking it all down in this episode.

We’ll talk size, price, history, and most importantly: why does this thing look like it might start whispering dark side secrets in the middle of the night? Click play, unless you’re afraid of giant LEGO Sith Lords watching you sleep...

Warning: prolonged exposure may result in spontaneous lightsaber duels.

Welcome back, brick fans! Get ready for another jam-packed, rumor-fueled rollercoaster of an episode, because this week’s LEGO news is coming in hotter than Mount Doom and sharper than a broadsword from the Black Falcons’ armory!

First up: the long-rumored, much-dreamed-about, “wait, is this actually happening?” Bravian Castle has finally stepped out of the shadows and into the spotlight. That’s right—this medieval masterpiece, which has haunted AFOL Architecture wishlists for what feels like centuries, is officially getting the LEGO treatment. I’ve got all the juicy details you crave: estimated piece count, rumored price tag, possible release dates, Easter eggs hidden in the stonework. Whether you’re a knight in shining armor or just here for the goats, this is one drop you won’t want to miss.

Next up: clear some space on your bookshelf and maybe a second mortgage, because the Lord of the Rings Book Nook is real, it’s spectacular, and it’s heading to shelves soon. This miniature Middle-earth diorama slides right between your novels but packs a punch big enough to knock you into Mordor. We’re diving into the official images and answering the only question that matters: will a teeny-tiny Balrog be judging your reading habits from the shadows? ("You shall not pass… until you finish that TBR pile!")

But the party doesn’t stop in Middle-earth—Summer 2025 is shaping up to be a LEGO blockbuster. Expect adorable new Star Wars droids, chaotic Springfield additions for Simpsons fans, and a few LEGO Ideas projects flying under the radar that just might steal your heart—and your wallet. I’ll be ranking the leaks, highlighting the hidden gems, and giving you my honest take on which sets deserve your hard-earned LEGO budget (apologies in advance to your grocery bill).

Bottom line: if you want to be the one in your LEGO group chat dropping the latest rumors before they become news, this is the episode for you. So hit that play button, strap in, and let’s take a wild ride through the most exciting corners of the brick-built world.

57 Dreams in a Brick-Shaped Bottle

Hold onto your minifig helmets, because we’re diving headfirst into the wild world of Lego Ideas 2025. That’s right—57 brand-new submissions, and I’m reviewing every single one of them in this mega-sized episode. I’m breaking down what works, what doesn’t, and whether each idea has a shot at becoming an official set—or if it’s destined for the digital dustbin.

Expect honest takes, bold predictions, and a few spicy opinions (spoiler: not everything needs to be modular or medieval). I’ll be rating each entry on my completely made-up but highly reliable Chance-o-Meter™, ranging from “absolutely no chance” to “shut up and take my money.”

Along the way, I’ll be sharing personal stories, weird Lego memories, and my own totally subjective preferences—because let’s be honest, we’ve all got our biases (mine involves clocks, bears who enjoy marmalade, and anything involving a certain neighbor named Totoro).

Yes, this episode is long. Like, brick-built Titanic long. But if you're a Lego Ideas junkie like me, it’s totally worth it. So buckle up, fire up your imagination, and let’s dig into the best—and strangest—Ideas sets the Lego community has cooked up this year.
