Sunset Stripe
We love a sunset stripe here at The Lego Car Blog. From classic Toyota pick-ups to vintage LEGO sets, red over yellow looks the business. And even more so when it’s been applied to a remote control...
View ArticleGrab & Go
It’s a sunny day here at TLCB Towers and the Elves are off hunting for the best Lego vehicles that the web has to offer. All except one, who we found dangling alone from the grab of a hefty remote...
View ArticleTraining Day
Yes we’re a car blog. When we’re not making Your Mom jokes or referencing Putin’s tiny todger. But we’re a train blog today, courtesy of this fantastic K-Class steam locomotive crossing a truss bridge...
View ArticleBaling Bricks
We love well-engineered small-scale Technic almost as much as we love toilet humour. So you can imagine our delight when one of our Elves found this neat Technic tractor and baler, because it looks...
View ArticleVirtual Adventure
These days most adventuring is viewed digitally. TikTok, Instagram, YouTube… there are millions of videos purporting to show adventure, available to watch from the comfort and safety of wherever...
View ArticleWell Groomed
As you’d expect, working for a world-famous Lego website means VIP invites, public speaking events, and meetings with top LEGO executives. Therefore being well-groomed is an essential part of the job....
View ArticleSuperliner
Another day, another Elf returns to TLCB Towers in the hope of a meal token and a Smartie. Which it has definitely earned, as we are rather partial to a classic American truck. This one is a mid-‘80s...
View ArticleHonour in Tokyo
We can’t really remember what happens in ‘The Fast and the Furious; Tokyo Drift’, except that one of the characters inexplicably comes back from the dead several movies later, and the Yakuza somehow...
View ArticleCruiser of Choice
Toyota’s legendary 70-Series Land Cruiser has traversed the world’s most inhospitable places since the mid-’80s (as well as a lot of Australian supermarket carparks), and is still on sale today. Over...
View ArticleTowing Package Optional
Arriving in the mid-’00s, the sixth generation Dodge Charger was a boring four-door sedan with an anaemic 2.7 V6, a four-speed automatic, and Chrysler-corporation interior plastics. Yay. However, the...
View ArticleFarewell Fiesta
The party’s over for the Ford Fiesta. One of the best selling cars in Europe for nearly fifty years, Fiesta production ended in 2023 so Ford could focus on crossovers. Yay. There are literally...
View ArticleTechnic Truckin’
It’s truck time here at The Lego ‘Car’ Blog, because we’re six, and we like big trucks. This one comes from _Electro_ of Eurobricks, and captures the Peterbilt 352 ‘cab-over’ brilliantly in brick...
View ArticleA Noun & A Verb
Ram (noun); a male sheep. Ram (verb); to forcefully push something. Although the latter may well be derive from the former (see here. And here. And definitely here). Anyway, today we have both forms...
View ArticleTrail Blazin’
Here in the crumbling edifice that is TLCB Towers, surrounded by mythical Elves and perpetual piles of spam comments, sometimes we just want to escape into the wilderness… Cue this splendid mid-’70s...
View ArticleAmpere Romeo
Ripping the piston-engined heart out of a classic Alfa Romeo to replace it with batteries and an electric motor is either a brilliant modernisation or an abominable travesty, depending on your school...
View ArticleMonster Fight
This writer was busy watching the nineteen of the world’s best drivers (and Lance Stroll) trying to handle the rain at the British Grand Prix, when a commotion erupted from the Elves’ cage room. Sigh....
View ArticlePutin It Out There
It’s been a while since we’ve referenced Putin’s tiny todger. Well, he’s still an under-endowed despot, raining increasing numbers of drones and missiles on Ukrainian apartment blocks, shopping malls,...
View ArticleBuild-a-Bimmer
Two years ago we blogged Thirdwigg’s excellent ‘E30’ generation BMW 3-Series, which is very possibly the best car BMW have ever made. In contrast BMW’s latest M-Cars are very much not the best they...
View ArticleTokyo Drift
When the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise headed for Japan for its third instalment, abandoning its main characters in the process, drifting was the new street racing. And the obvious car for drifting...
View ArticleSplat!
It’s been remarkably peaceful of late here at TLCB Towers. Elves have been finding creations, earning meal tokens, and barely inflicting extreme violence on one another at all. Which of course had to...
