On Sale: 30% Off Store-wide At Shopforme
It’s not every day that you get a legitimate 30% off deal – they usually involve multiple codes or a weird overlap of circumstances. Not this deal though; it’s a straight 30% off.
Independent Melbourne based retailer Shopforme are slashing their prices from today (August 23rd) until Friday (August 25th).
They offer free shipping on orders over $200, but if you are spending less than that don’t forget to factor postage in to your savings.
Head on over to their website to see what’s available. With 30% off I suspect that some items will be selling out.

Book Review: Nexo Knights Build Your Own Adventure
It’s Book Week, so this week I am going to be reviewing two LEGO related books. First up the Nexo Knights Build Your Own Adventure Book. Be sure to check out the 360° look at the included set below.
There are a few different style of LEGO books produced by DK – from the serious encyclopaedia style books to sticker books at the other end of the spectrum. The build your own adventure books fall closer towards the “kid” end, but generally still have some great building inspiration.
This latest Build Your Own Adventure book is based on the Nexo Knights theme, specifically the 2017 sets – with the current rock villains featured.
As this is a book that comes with a LEGO set it is presented in an outer cardboard sleeve. If you don’t intend to keep it in that once you’ve built the set then you will be pleased to note that the book itself is nicely bound with a solid hard cover.
First up is some basic introductory type information – a spread on the various LEGO parts that are available, an introduction to the Robin character and the actual building instructions for Robin’s Mech.
The book is split up over 5 chapters. Each chapter is loosely based around a different area of the Nexo Knights world. I am by no means an expert in the lore of the Nexo Knights, but the book does a decent job of explaining the various areas and their relevance to the story.
The basic plot is that Monstrox and Jestro have destroyed a network of servers around the kingdom, and Robin must travel to each of them to make repairs. It’s a very loose story just to link the various sections.
On Sale: 20% Off At Hobby Warehouse eBay Store
eBay are having a pre-fathers day sale with 20% off selected stores. I have done some checking on the sale page and and there is only store with LEGO on offer – Hobby Warehouse.
Their full LEGO range (over 500 items) are all 20% with the code PRESENT.
The discount code is valid until August 30th but you’ll probably need to order well before then if it is actually going to be a father’s day present.
Thanks to Daniel who emailed me about this offer over the weekend.
The Ninjago Movie Alphabet
If you have been watching the trailers and checking out the sets from The LEGO Ninjago Movie you may have noticed that they all feature a strange foreign language. Well that language is actually English, but with a special new alphabet designed by the LEGO Ninjago Movie team.
With the sets released people got to work on deciphering the language, but LEGO have made that a lot easier with a new website for the film - ninjagolanguagetranslator.com. The site allows you to input a message using the standard English alphabet and then switch to the Ninjago alphabet (or vice versa).
I have also gone to the trouble of creating a handy guide that you can print out to translate sets as you are building them.
With enough study you may even be able to read Ninjago.
