| 6/17/26 | Ep. 190 - The TOP 10 Sets in My Collection - 2026 Edition | What are the greatest sets in my collection... right now? It's time for the 2026 Edition of My Top 10 Sets in My Collection, and if you watched last year's list, prepare yourself—because a lot has changed. This isn't simply a rerun with a few minor adjustments. Over the past year, several longtime favorites have fallen down the rankings, multiple new entries have stormed onto the list, and some sets that once seemed untouchable have found themselves fighting just to stay relevant. But before we begin, there are three important rules: ✅ This list is highly subjective.✅ My rankings change over time.✅ It's my collection. And here's where things get interesting... Many viewers will assume they already know what my favorite sets are. Some of you might even think you know which set takes the #1 spot. But this year's rankings contain a few surprises, including several newcomers and at least one entry that isn't even a LEGO set. That's right. This list isn't about brand loyalty, resale value, or what the internet thinks should be ranked highest. It's about the models that mean the most to me as a collector, builder, and fan. Along the way we'll discuss:✅ What moved up from last year's rankings✅ Which former favorites dropped down the list✅ The biggest new additions to the collection✅ Why certain sets continue to stand the test of time✅ The personal stories behind some of my favorite builds Will a massive display piece claim the top spot? Will nostalgia win out? Will a licensed theme dominate the rankings? Or could a completely unexpected contender take the crown? You'll have to watch all the way to the end to find out. And speaking of the end... For the first time, we're introducing a brand-new segment where I read and respond to comments from viewers of previous episodes! So stick around after the rankings to see if your comment made the show and hear some thoughts from fellow members of the Imagination Brickshop community. Credit this idea to Slap Shot Bricks.

| 5/27/26 | Ep. 184 - Before You Buy the NEW Hogwarts Castle Expansions…This Episode is a MUST! | Before the NEW Hogwarts Castle expansion arrives… we need to talk about the LEGO Harry Potter giant that started it all. Back in 2018, LEGO released set 71043 Hogwarts Castle, a set so massive it instantly became one of the most legendary builds ever created. At the time, it was the second-largest LEGO set in history. Even now in 2026, it still stands as the BIGGEST Harry Potter set ever made. And with LEGO about to launch the brand-new Hogwarts Castle: East Wing on June 1st, the big question becomes… Is the original castle STILL the ultimate Hogwarts experience? We’re diving into:🧙 The insane size and detail of the 6,000+ piece castle🧙 Rare minifigures and microfigures that collectors still chase today🧙 Dragons, hidden rooms, magical callbacks, and one ridiculously long build experience🧙 How the old castle compares to LEGO’s new modular Hogwarts system🧙 Whether the original is still worth buying in 2026 before retirement🧙 And how four new castle sets together now cost MORE than the original masterpiece Plus… I revisit the VERY FIRST YouTube video I ever uploaded back in 2018, when I built this monster for 13 straight hours. 😅 If you’re a LEGO Harry Potter fan, collector, or just love massive display sets, this is going to be a nostalgic trip through one of LEGO’s most iconic creations. Is 71043 still the greatest Hogwarts Castle LEGO has ever made… or has the new system finally surpassed it?

| 5/18/26 | Ep. 181 - LEGO Minas Tirith, Pokémon Delays & BrickLink Madness - 5-18-26 - News & Rumors | The LEGO news train has officially left the station and somehow picked up even MORE chaos this week. From one of the biggest LEGO Lord of the Rings sets ever made to BrickLink insanity, production delays, surprise reveals, and rumors flying faster than a Gondor beacon fire, there’s a LOT to talk about. This episode covers the massive LEGO ICONS Minas Tirith reveal, including the latest updates on the GROND Gift With Purchase, while also diving into the absolutely overwhelming BrickLink Designer Series 11 voting period featuring a casual 578 fan submissions. Because apparently LEGO fans collectively decided sleep was optional. We also break down the upcoming BrickLink Series 8 pre-orders, including castles, trains, balloons, and enough wallet damage to qualify as a natural disaster. But one of the biggest stories this week may actually be the delays. The rumored 12,000-piece Sagrada Familia set potentially getting pushed back is almost poetic considering the real building itself has been under construction for over 140 years. Meanwhile, the LEGO Pokémon Pokéball may also be delayed, proving once again that even LEGO release schedules can’t catch ‘em all. On top of that, we’ve got new Pokémon rumors, Marvel busts, Disney surprises, a retro pinball machine, mysterious minifigures, and enough LEGO goodness to make your backlog feel personally attacked.

| 4/29/26 | Ep. 176 - Can't Find the LEGO Set of Your Dreams? Here's How to Change it. | There’s a whole side of the LEGO hobby that many builders never fully explore… and it might completely change the way you look at your collection. In this episode, we’re diving into the world of LEGO Alternative Builds (Alt Builds) — where one set can become dozens of completely new creations. We’ll start by breaking down the difference between a MOC (My Own Creation) and an Alt Build, including the three main types of MOCs: True original builds Official set-based creations And builds that transform an existing set into something entirely new From custom display pieces (like my own Imagination Brickshop builds) to incredible fan creations inspired by iconic models like LEGO 10256 Taj Mahal, this world goes way deeper than most people realize. We’ll also show you exactly where to find the best Alt Builds, including platforms like Rebrickable, where designers share instructions that can completely reinvent sets you already own. Not only am I going to highlight some amaing ALT Build Designers, but we’ll walk through five incredible Alt Builds worth your time, transforming familiar sets into something entirely new — from Barad-dûr inspired builds to creative reimaginings of sets like LEGO 76989 Horizon Forbidden West: Tallneck, LEGO 76215 Black Panther Bust, and even dinosaur fossils. If you’ve ever wished you could get more out of your LEGO sets without buying more bricks… this is the episode for you. 👇 Let me know in the comments:Have you ever tried an Alt Build?

| 4/6/26 | Ep. 169 - A LEGO Rumors & Leaks Extravanganza - 4/6/26 - News & Rumors | The rumor mill is working overtime this week, and there is a lot to talk about in the LEGO world. We start with official images from the upcoming Toy Story wave arriving May 1st. From a playful Slinky Dog display build to a brand-new Lotso figure and a fun Alien rocket ride inspired by Pizza Planet, Pixar fans have some interesting sets on the way. But that’s just the beginning. After the official reveals, we dive headfirst into the rumor zone where things get really interesting. There’s a surprising update surrounding the LEGO Ideas Godzilla project that could show up in a very unusual way later this year. Rumors are also circulating about a brand new line of buildable, up-scaled minifig characters that could pull from multiple themes. Star Wars fans may have something unexpected on the horizon tied to The Mandalorian, while Ninjago builders could be getting a massive mech arriving later this summer. And then there’s one of the most talked-about possibilities right now: a large wave of sets based on a franchise that many fans have been hoping LEGO would tackle for years. If the rumors are accurate, this lineup could include everything from small play sets to massive display builds packed with minifigures. There are even whispers about a surprising addition to the Fortnite lineup that might be unlike anything we’ve seen from that theme before. As always, these are rumors and leaks, so take everything with a grain of salt. But if even a few of these turn out to be true, the rest of 2026 could be a very exciting year for LEGO fans.

With a brand-new Friends theme Ferris wheel arriving in the LEGO lineup this summer and rumors of another classic fairground attraction returning in 2026, it felt like the perfect time to revisit one of the most iconic sets from the Creator Expert fairground collection.

We also talk about where this build fits within the larger fairground series, how it compares to the other rides in the lineup, and whether the secondary market price still makes sense today for collectors. Is this classic amusement park centerpiece still worth adding to your collection, or has time and newer sets changed the equation? Watch the full review to see how it holds up today.
