World Record Bricks

 Hello, and welcome back to World Record Bricks! Today I wanted to share some of my recent hauls since the first post. On Friday September 23rd, I went to my local Barnes and Noble. Now, as Barnes and Noble is primarily a bookstore, their LEGO section is often overlooked. But about a month ago, I noticed when I was there that they had a bunch of sets that had retired either at the end of 2021 or, less commonly, 2020. So, I gradually began buying one of each of those retired sets.

Hello, and welcome to World Record Bricks, a new LEGO(R) themed blog by Jarod Reichel aka MCAdventureCity. But what is the purpose of this new blog? World Record Bricks is my goal to chronicle my journey towards growing what I hope to eventually be the world record for the largest LEGO(R) set collection. The current Guinness World Record belongs to Vitalii Solovev of Minsk, Belarus, with a verified total of 5,416 sets as of May 25, 2021. I, however, am currently at a collection of 457 unique sets, according to collection management site Brickset.com. Therefore, I have a long ways to go, so welcome to the journey! On this blog, I will post pictures of my set hauls and finds, among other collection-related topics such as organization, hopefully around two or three times a week. See you soon, Jarod
