Review: 21064 Paris – City of Love (LEGO Architecture)
The LEGO Skyline concept — but compressed into a wall decoration. Does the idea have enough depth, or will it fall flat?

Video: Making the LEGO Parts Guide into a book!
Discover some of the challenges I’m facing while creating a printed parts guide, and the solutions I’m exploring to make the book great!
As you hopefully know, I’ve been working hard to translate my online LEGO Parts Guide into a printed book. I’ve been sharing extensive ‘Behind the scenes‘ content with my supporters on Patreon, but also try to share some of my progress on the website and in my newsletters.
I gave the following presentation at BrickCon on September 5, 2025. The presentation included interactive sections asking participants for feedback on some of the challenges I was facing in completing the guide, such as:
- The number of top-level categories in the guide.
- How much ‘history’ to include in the chapters.
- How ‘retired’ parts could be handled in future editions of the guide.
- How to handle groups of nearly identical parts.
- If DUPLO should be included.
You can watch the whole presentation on YouTube. (Give it a ‘thumbs up’ if you liked it.)
I hope enjoyed the video… Ideas to make the guide even better? Send me an email. Thanks!
