LEGO TIP OF THE WEEK: Keep Your Bricks Out of the Sun!

Have a favorite LEGO set on display? Think twice before putting it in front of a sunny window.

Over time, direct sunlight and UV exposure can discolor LEGO elements. White and other light-colored bricks can be especially noticeable when they begin to yellow or fade.

If you have a set you want to keep looking its best, display it away from direct sunlight. A shelf on an interior wall or a room with filtered light is a much better choice.

This is especially important for older sets, collectible sets, and builds you plan to display for years.

Your LEGO collection may love a good display.  It just doesn’t need a suntan. 😎

Almost every Saturday, I send out a Tip of the Week.  The tip of the week is usually something I have picked up along the way that may make your life a little easier.

If you would like to hear from me (almost) every Saturday, just go to the home page of my site and plug in your name and email.   You will also get a free digital copy of my book on learning Latin (and almost anything else).  Just go here: https://dwanethomas.com/ and enter your name and email.

If you want to buy the digital book instead (because you just feel like buying me a cup of coffee) go here: https://dwanethomas.gumroad.com/l/fzixlh

If you are interested in learning Latin, you can go through the classes on my site 24/7.  I recommend the book Lingua Latina by Hans Ørberg.

If you tackle the book and find yourself bogged down, you may find the classes on my site helpful.  To join, just click here: https://dwanethomas.com/join/

If you want a more professionally filmed Latin learning experience, check out the best-selling DVD series: Visual Latin.

Or, if you want to skip Latin, and just jump right into learning English words from Latin and Greek roots, you may enjoy the series Word Up!  Warning.   Word Up! is a bit wacky.  You will learn a lot… but, you may find yourself rolling your eyes, too.

I teach other languages on my site, too.  The current schedule is here: https://dwanethomas.com/schedule/
