About the humble brick

Hello and welcome to the home of “ The Humble Brick”.

Colour in shades of LEGO®

My name is Craig, an Adult Fan of LEGO®. My passion grows daily to the extent that I describe colour in shades of LEGO®. Although I love building anything LEGO®, I particularly enjoy Speed Champions, Harry Potter, Technic, Star Wars, Creator Expert and Ninjago. Honestly, all LEGO® is awesome.

Bringing LEGO® to you

The Humble Brick is an opportunity for me to talk about my obsession by bringing you LEGO® news, new sets, parts, and exhibitions.

About me in my Rainbow Nation

A little about me, personally. I live in South Africa, so there will be some LEGO® news that is happening in the “Rainbow Nation”.

I am supported by my beautiful wife of 22 years and adorable children. They provide the perfect platform from which I can blog. My daughter loves Disney and BrickHeadz. My son enjoys building Ninjago, Bionicle, Minecraft and Star Wars. He also loves creating his own spacecraft.

I value integrity, respect, loyalty, generosity, and kindness.
When I am away from LEGO®, I enjoy breaks with my family into the bushveld, breakfast outings with my family, and some PC gaming.
