A new Kei Truck variant in the works
After my JDM Kei Truck V2, I got pretty hooked on the concept of turning it into a Kei Fire Trucks. My initial plan was to develop the Kei Fire Truck directly from the V2 platform, but the result just didn’t feel convincing enough for me to release, so I shelved it for a while.
After some time, I realized the concept would benefit more from a version with higher detail. That’s what led to the JDM Kei Truck V3: more refined, more detailed, and overall a better fit for what I had in mind.
Going into the fire truck version with V3, I thought it’d be a relatively easy job: swap the colors, rework the rear into a firefighting setup, done deal.
Yeah… not quite.
When I checked the estimated cost in Studio, something immediately felt off. Turns out the culprit was part 35789 (Mudguard) in red: super rare, sitting at around $20 per piece. Instant deal breaker.
So I went back to my parts bin. After a bunch of iterations, I finally landed on a solution that:
- Completely removes the need for the 35789 Mudguard
- Keeps the overall shape and proportions intact
- Stays reasonably affordable and buildable
Ended up being way more of a rabbit hole than I expected, but honestly that’s where the fun is. 😄

Ever thought of building shelves out of lego?
So my current lego is either in my bookcase or in my bins. Last night i was dreaming about it lol
And it hit me… i have all this vertical wasted space sometimes between the set and the next shelf.
What if i build a structure out of lego so i can cut the height in 2 or even 3 if need be…?
Depending on the set it shouldn’t be too difficult to adjust height of it.
So here’s my question… this is either my stupid brain trying to entertain me in my sleep or genius.
What’s your opinion, which is it? 😅😅

LEGO Back to the Future Time Machine (10300) - one of the best movie sets LEGO has done?
Was revisiting the DeLorean set, and it’s impressive how much they packed into it. Building the DeLorean as the Part I, II, or III version already makes it feel more substantial than most display sets.
The little details are what stand out, though. The flux capacitor, the hover conversion, the different license plates… it really feels like it was designed by people who actually care about the films.
Build-wise, it’s not too overwhelming, but still detailed enough to stay captivating throughout. It sits in that appealing middle ground where it’s engaging without being exhausting like some of the massive sets.
The only downside is you can’t display all three versions at once unless you rebuild it, which might be a dealbreaker for some.
Curious what others think:
- Which version did you build, Part I, II, or III?
- Do you typically rebuild it, or do you prefer to stick with one version?
- Where does this rank compared to other movie-based LEGO sets?
It seems to be one of the most comprehensive fan-service sets that LEGO has released.
