You might be wondering what this “year of [so and so]” business is about. I’ve written only one article like this before in 2020, and it’s not something I am often driven to do. In fact, it’s one of those things that only comes about because someone special in the LEGO community crossed my path. A “year of” honoree needs to stand out enough that I’m like, “Wowsa, I need to shout this out over the rooftops!” (well, over the internet anyway)! This year, that person is Casey McCoy. Just WHo is This Casey McCoy? Read on and Find out! I think we all know when we’ve met a true maestro of the bricks at the pinnacle of MOCcing, and let me tell you, Casey fits the bill with the incredible creativity and design aesthetic of his 2023 builds. What’s more, he’s been prolific this year, crossing into multiple genres and effortlessly mastering them all.

Merry Christmas from BrickNerd! Now, let’s give away some shiny gold. Last month for Nerdvember, we asked you to get nerdy with us and reimagine our mascot Nerdly along the lines of survival—and we got almost 40 entries!

Quality & Presentation - Is the creation built well, feature any NPU, and composed/photographed in a way that enhances the overall creation? Nerdiness - Does the creation have a balance of Nerdly features that clearly convey the BrickNerd...

Best of BrickNerd — Article originally published December 25, 2021. Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you have a merry holiday no matter how you celebrate it—or even if you celebrate it at all. We at BrickNerd are from many faiths and traditions. We speak dozens of languages and represent even more countries. It is that diversity that really brings the richness of culture and breadth of LEGO knowledge that has made BrickNerd such a community the past year. To me and for many Christians, Christmas is more than just a day of gift-giving and family get-togethers. It is the day we celebrate the feast of the birth of Jesus Christ—one of our most sacred Holy Days. Throughout the ages, many people have celebrated this holiday through expressions of art, music, and literature—religious art is part of the human experience as it is a lasting chronicle of history. As such, many artists throughout the...
