ID#: HS003, HS011, HS014, HS019, HS035 HS046, HS049, HS053, HS058, HS072
Theme/Subtheme: Hidden Side
Year(s) Released: 2019-2020
Backstory: One of the main characters in LEGO’s “Hidden Side” theme, Parker L. Jackson is a fast-hitting, purple-haired Ghost Hunter. Descended from renowned ghost hunter Vaughn G. Jackson, she is known as a bit of a loner. Parker finds herself brought together, along with YouTuber Jack Davids, by crazy scientist and Demonologist, Dr. J.B. Watt. Together, they battle the mysterious supernatural forces at work in the town of Newbury.
Interestingly enough, Parker’s character should not feel unfamiliar. There are a number of direct comparisons to Ann Lee from the “Monster Fighters” theme.

Brick Talk: Knockoffs Vs 3rd Party and Why It Matters

Today I want to introduce a new segment of The LEGO Maniac blog, we are going to simply call it "Brick Talk". In these segments we will talk over different issues regarding LEGO, the LEGO community, and other relevant topics. I hope that, through these segments, we can help clarify and educate the LEGO Community on current issues. In this edition of Brick Talk, I want to address the topic of Knockoffs, 3rd Party products, and why we should even care.
