So popular are Hickox's Lego videos, that he was approached to make a promotional video for the DVD and Blu-Ray release of ''The LEGO Movie'' in the Summer of 2014, doing so in his own unique style. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxC5BqHWF_I Here is the finished product.]]

Despite his popularity, Hickox still considers making these videos his hobby. He is a student at the University of Akron, where he is studying to become a mechanical engineer.
