Get ready for another jam-packed episode of your favorite LEGO podcast, where we dive headfirst into everything from Mario Kart to BrickLink Designer Series results, Simpsons rumors, and even a sprinkle of Middle-earth magic! Seriously, if it’s made of bricks (or might be someday), we’re talking about it today.

First up—hold onto your studs, folks—we finally have the five lucky finalists for the BrickLink Designer Series 7 sets! These beauties are so incredible, I’m pretty sure my wallet cried just looking at them. If you’ve been tuning in for a while, you might even recognize a few because, let’s be honest, some of them have been living rent-free on my wish list for ages. The best part? You’ve still got time to save up those pennies because pre-orders don’t open until next year! So, start that piggy bank now—your future self will thank you.

And speaking of future awesomeness, mark your calendars for May 15th! I’m about to break down a set that might just be the holy grail of LEGO speedsters—the brand-new LEGO Mario Kart!  Whether it’s the sleek, smooth lines that would make even the fanciest Italian supercar blush, the ridiculously charming character, or the surprisingly decent price tag, this set is nothing short of pure, unadulterated perfection.

But wait—hold your Krusty Burgers because we’ve got some super juicy rumors on the horizon! Yep, LEGO is cooking up something wild with a new Simpsons Krusty Burger set, hitting shelves on June 1st! The rumor mill’s churning, and word on the street is there’s a new minifig that’s got Bart Simpson absolutely shaking. What could it be? A radioactive Krusty? Zombie Homer? Or, maybe someone far - far more sinister...

And finally, because your shelf space isn’t complete without a little epic fantasy flair, brace yourselves for some Lord of the Rings magic! Yes, you heard it right—Book Nooks are coming to LEGO! If you’re anything like me, you’ll be clearing a prime spot on the shelf for these amazing miniature worlds tucked between your favorite novels. I’m talking hobbit holes, epic journeys, and tiny Gandalf just chilling next to your hardcovers. It’s the ultimate blend of nerdiness and class.

So, buckle up and stick around until the end of the episode for all the details, laughs, and possibly a little bit of fanboying on my part. Don’t forget to share the brick love with your friends!

Thanks for listening, and as always—keep building and stay awesome!Music Credit: YouTube Music Library
