Brick Swag March Unboxing Theme: Wild West
The theme for Brick Swag this month is “Wild West”. BrickSwag
The shirt design features a LEGO Cowboy ona rearing horse about to ride off into a sunset.
The Silly Brick Pics poster features A sheriff saying remember where we parked. There are five western themed trading cards. There was also a bag of bricks from Booster Bricks. This month there’s a challenge to build a robot with only the parts in the bag.
BrickSwag’s March Builds
The build for March is a black and red train engine. This is a build pack from The Brick Builders Club, the guys that make BrickSwag. There was also an accessory pack with a treasure chest, a Jolly roger, coins, gems and some sword. I wonder if this was to be part of last month’s Pirate Themed box. The BrickSwag brick is green and has the March 2016 printed on on end.

You have dreams, go get them!
I finally got a LEGO BB-8. Still hunting for the series 15 minifigures. The only place I found them is at Toys R Us. TRU has blind bag figs 2 for $5 this week. Today is the last day. I’d go get a few more but I spent my LEGO budget during their Double Points event. Plus I’ll be spending a lot in early April. Three items in the first week of April, The Force Awakens DVD, LEGO DC Encyclopedia, and a Classic Mr Freeze LEGO minifig with $75 purchase at the LEGO shop.
LEGO: Ideas update!

Take your action figure to work day.
It’s take your action figure to workday. I got a real quick shot here from my office. Rey , BB-8, and an iguana paid me a visit.
Take your Action figure to workday.
Take your action figure to work on the first Friday in March and post pictures of him/her/it with you, with your coworkers, with a client or with your boss (well, maybe not your boss).
You’re only limited by your own creativity. Post away! Be sure you include the Official #AFWDYYYY (example: #AFWD2015, #AFWD2016, etc…) so we can all see the amazing things you do to make this as nerdy as possible.

It’s take your action figure to workday. I wish I had know about this earlier. Actually I’m on vacation but if I had know I would have done something in my home office. Still a bit of time left in the day.

Buccaneer Batman with new Book.
Look what is coming next month. The new DC superheros Character Encyclopedia with a Pirate Batman. I like the phrase Buccaneer Batman better. He’s pretty cool even though there’s already a ton of Batman minifigures already. See DK page for more. Amazon has its US release date as April 5.
Today I got the newest DC LEGO Dvd with a Cosmic Boy minifig. Found it at Target.
Are you going to pick up either of these?
