We finally know what the 5 new Star Wars models are! And they are also on sale now! Thanks to the announcement of the LEGO Sets, I was hoping for the Y-Wing and A-Wing, and kinda expecting the D-0. But the Sith TIE Fighter and the First Order Treadspeeder are a pleasant surprise. And having […]
Meet Metal Earth At New York Comic Con!
How cool would it be to meet some of the people behind the Metal Earth models? I’d love to do it. Unfortunately, I don’t live anywhere near New York. But if you do, and you happen to be going to the New York Comic Con… then you should drop by and visit with them! They […]

Coming Soon: 4 More Piececool Models
According to the Google Translation, these models are honoring / celebrating the 70th Anniversary of “New China.” I’m not sure what that means, except for two brand new models (a tank and building), and two new color variants for existing models (an aircraft carrier and jet fighter).

All Your Ford Are Belong To Us
Metal Earth is just cranking out the Fords! Got this update showing a sixth Ford model that should be appearing in the coming soon section in the coming weeks.

Build: Donald Duck
This fun, quirky, and blocky rendering of Donald Duck is one of those really hard-to-get Disney Parks exclusives that is only available out of the Disneyland in Shanghai, China. I am humbled and honored to be able to build this model, because it was sent to me by a fellow builder, Instagram’s @tomz971. Not only […]
