LEGO has announced an upcoming LEGO Star Wars livestream for a new mystery set on September 4 at 9:15am ET/6:15 PT. The only hint that is given is that it is for something BIG. There’s nothing else Star Wars rumored for 2025 except for the usual suspect and if you’ve been online the past few weeks, you probably know what it is. For the rest of us, we’ll just have to wait and see the reveal. The post LEGO Star Wars Livestream – September 4 appeared first on The Brick Fan.

A long time ago, in the galaxy of Denmark, LEGO created a Christmas-themed X-Wing fighter as an employee-exclusive gift set. This year, LEGO is letting everyone get in on the holiday fun with LEGO Star Wars 40806 Gingerbread AT-AT, an irresistible set we never saw coming. Over the summer, Star Wars LEGO sets rankled many fans with steep prices on underwhelming sets (excellent UCS Slave-1 aside). Containing roughly 700 pieces for $60, this holiday remix of one of the galaxy’s most popular vehicles offers welcome value. True, there look to be any printed parts or new molds, the concept and execution are a true delight and Gingerbread Vader looks ready to jingle all the way to the Hoth system. What do you think? Will you be picking up the Gingerbread AT-AT when it releases on October 1? LEGO Star Wars 40806 Gingerbread AT-AT | 697 Pieces | Available October 1  |US...

SHIPtember is an annual AFOL tradition where space builders challenge themselves to create a spacecraft that’s at least 100 studs long, built entirely during September. “SHIP” refers both to spaceship but is also an acronym for “Seriously Huge Investment in Parts.”  Simon Liu helped start the trend 12 years ago, and for LEGO space fans, it’s a highlight of the year. Scott Wilhelm is one of the original participants and an event regular. But Scott’s love of SHIPs is too great to contain to just one month. At Brickworld, Scott debuted the Noctem Æternus, a dark blue behemoth measuring 105 studs long. Scott is always a master of color blocking, here seamlessly adding brown striping. Viewed from the side, the ship evokes OG Star Wars designs with a heavily greebled layer between the slicker hulls. The wedge-shaped stern reveals some impressive engines. As the Noctem Æternus was built before September, it won’t...

Summer’s over, September is here, and you know what that means: businesses around the world will start marketing their Christmas wares inexplicably early. LEGO is no different, with their selection of advent calendars is among the many sets hitting shelves this month. There’s a bit of a different flavour to some of them though! Minecraft and Frozen join the fray with their own dedicated calendars. Even 76300 Arkham Asylum below – one of the most exciting new releases – has an advent flavour to it, although you’ll need to wait until September 9 for your pre-order to come through. LEGO DC Batman 76300 Arkham Asylum | 2,953 Pieces | Available September 9 | US $299.99 | CAN $379.99 | UK £269.99 If you can’t wait for that, the Black Pearl or Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory (both of which also have general availability starting from mid-Septmeber, then be sure to check out our selection below, or...

The LEGO Gods, the powers that be has declared this time to be Frogust. The Grand Frog, Simon Liu has been doing frog-related stuff for years now and it has definitely been noticed. It’s now a thing officially that falls conveniently between Summer Joust and SHIPtember and they invite you to join in on all the fun. You may have noticed this regal entry lately as well as this one. Even the local frogs in my neighborhood seem to be into it. Now that we’re at the dog days of summer- or should I say frog days of summer- let’s check out what others have done. Trevor Pearson-Jones starts out strong with, not quite a frog but it’s warty cousin Chief Toad Gambunta. There might be a little something extra in that pipe he’s smoking. Just sayin’. Not to be outdone by his first entry, Trevor comes back with a tree...
