In this episode, hosts Alex (he/him) and Bethany (she/her) are joined by fellow Tips&Bricks team member, Ben (he/him)!

The first segment challenges Alex and Ben to pitch the next LEGO City subtheme to 'Plastic Shark' Bethany. We have to save the evergreen theme somehow! Then they'll move onto LEGO's marketing - specifically the best and worst of LEGO reveals. Brace yourself for some truly awful ones, that may as well be scams...

Next, Bethany continues her antics by putting Alex and Ben to test with Guess That Theme, including an unexpected twist! They'll conclude the episode by reviewing the IDEAS submissions that have a chance of becoming the next LEGO set. It's not long now until they're revealed - will any of them predict the next IDEAS set?

• Question of the Week: 36:27
