Today’s guest article comes from Paul Hetherington, a builder and brick artist based in Vancouver, Canada. Mission to the Moon Thundering Typhoons! Why is Dave, the chief BrickNerd, messaging me nonstop while I’m trying to relax? He promises an exciting new adventure but refuses to divulge any details until I sign a stack of documents. It feels like I’m being interrogated by the ZEPO at a Syldavian security checkpoint as I jump through hoops to complete the NDAs. With all the official paperwork finally in place, Dave lets me in on the brief: Billions of Blistering Barnacles, LEGO is going to the Moon with The Adventures of Tintin in a brand-new LEGO Ideas set release!
