Back To The Future has been a favourite franchise for a generation, but has not had any new movies in nearly 30 years. And yet, the iconic 1980’s trilogy continues getting revivals in every way possible, including as LEGO sets. We first saw it as an Ideas set (back when the line was known as Cuusoo) with 21103 DeLorean Time Machine, and then another revival of the theme in various LEGO Dimension add-ons, including Doc Emmet Brown Fun Pack and the Back to the Future Level Pack featuring Marty McFly. We now have them come together for the first time as LEGO BrickHeadz with the 41611 Marty McFly and Doc Emmett Brown two-pack. The box & contents Typical for dual boxes that we’ve seen recently with the Incredibles 2 BrickHeadz featuring Mr.Incredible and Frozone and the Justice League BrickHeadz featuring Tactical Batman and Superman the contents spill out into two separate bags and...

Today LEGO unveiled the massive and heavily-rumored 10261 Creator Expert Roller Coaster. Clocking in at 4,124 pieces, the set includes 11 minifigures, new red track, and a functioning chain-lift. The huge set will retail for $379.99 USD beginning May 16 for LEGO VIPs followed by general availability on June 1.Ever since the introduction of the new roller coaster system in 70922 Joker Manor, track pieces have appeared in LEGO City Mining, Marvel Black Panther, Speed Champions, and even an upcoming Pirate-themed Creator set. These pieces stoked the rumor that a massive roller coaster was coming, and LEGO has delivered. A natural follow-up to the Creator Expert 10257 Carousel and 10247 Ferris Wheel, the roller coaster is BIG and dwarfs its fairground brothers in size. The behemoth measures over 20” (53cm) high, 34” (88cm) wide and 16” (41cm) deep. That is almost as big as laying out a total of six standard...

Every now and again we see a realistic civilian minifig-scale LEGO boat, and they keep getting better. The latest is this steam-powered tugboat by Koffiemoc. It is actually a recreation of the last steam tug in Germany, the Saturn. The builder was inspired by this photo and I think he has captured it almost perfectly. I love the shaping and colour blocking on the hull, but my favourite parts are all the realistic details on the deck. Notice the different minifig headgear used as lights and how the tile on top of the smoke stack is pressed in only halfway to give it a gentle slope. The realistic look is especially facilitated by use of tyre pieces on the side of the boat. The post Whatever floats your tugboat appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

Building a microsocale landmark is a fine art of choosing the right miniature detail that makes your model instantly recognizable. Some landmarks are so iconic that it might seem like this would be too easy. Not so! Finding the perfect detail part can be challenging. In this model of the Taj Mahal by Jay B, several recently introduced parts provide great details, but might not be the first thing that a builder would think of. This model reminds me of one of the very first models that I posted on Flickr over 5 years ago, using a much more limited supply of parts.

While we can all gaze in wonder at a huge LEGO diorama, there’s also a lot of joy that comes from building fun little models with interesting techniques.  GolPlaysWithLEGO has built this fun little tank that has 61 parts and a lot of character. Gol has kindly shared instructions to allow a whole squadron of little tanks to take over the world. The colours used look lighter on the digital instruction page, so look out for the differences between Light Bluish Grey, Dark Bluish Grey, Reddish Brown and Black bricks if you want to build the exact model shown. Enjoy building this fun little model. The post Your bricks will travel wherever they want in this little tank [Instructions] appeared first on The Brothers Brick.
