Last month, LEGO announced some new LEGO Super Mario sets coming this August but we only had the product images. German retailer Lucky Bricks has posted some product listings for these sets and they have also provided the box art for them. As you can see, the boxes have drastically changed from previous sets with the more white and red color scheme and they look more like standalone ones and not advertising too much on the course building expansion. Battle with Roy at Peach’s Castle (71435) – 738 pieces/$64.99 King Boo’s Haunted Mansion (71436) – 932 pieces/$74.99 The Bowser Express Train (71437) – 1,392 pieces/$119.99 The post LEGO Super Mario Summer 2024 Sets Introduces New Box Art appeared first on The Brick Fan.

April comes to an end and while the birds are busy chirping outside, it’s time for your monthly treat that is our monthly LEGO community round-up! So sit back and enjoy this month’s collection of insightful articles, deep drives and interesting features from all across the LEGO community! We are lucky to have this many outlets and channels that keep creating incredible content, and these are the best of the month. Here at BrickNerd, we visited Bendigo Bricks in Australia and to Bricks Cascade in Portland, Oregon, took a trip down LEGO butterfly memory lane, and asked kids about LEGO part names. We learned how to build small and different wall textures, used Duplo for some wild NPU, and looked at standards for collaborative builds. And we built a shipping container, highlighted LEGO garages and igloos, and found hidden words in MOCs. We even looked at LEGO’s IP partnerships and their...

Today we feature a guest article from one of BrickNerd’s patrons Liz Puleo. She shares her experience visiting Boston Children’s Hospital and meeting the kids there who love LEGO.

Well, that being said, although LEGO ships may be a passion of mine, I never expected to see one of my ships displayed as a permanent exhibit in a museum—still less to sell one for just over $10,000 USD through Creations for Charity with a fully paid trip to Brazil thrown into the bargain! The Best Laid Plans… My journey opened at the beginning of 2020 when I started on my largest and longest LEGO project to date: a 72-gun galleon called the Bucanneer's Dread. I’d ambitiously planned to build it entirely in one month, and take it to Brickworld Chicago that Spring, but… With three days left before our trip to the States and little more...
