LEGO Star Wars Days is coming up very soon and there will be a livestream to reveal a new mystery set. The event will be held on April 15 at 12pm ET/9am PT. We don’t know what set it will be but it could be based on the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu movie which will be hitting theaters at the end of May. I’m guessing we could also get details on some of the promotions for the LEGO May the 4th shopping event as well but we’ll see.

Today’s guest article comes from Paul Hetherington, a builder and brick artist based in Vancouver, Canada. Mission to the Moon Thundering Typhoons! Why is Dave, the chief BrickNerd, messaging me nonstop while I’m trying to relax? He promises an exciting new adventure but refuses to divulge any details until I sign a stack of documents. It feels like I’m being interrogated by the ZEPO at a Syldavian security checkpoint as I jump through hoops to complete the NDAs. With all the official paperwork finally in place, Dave lets me in on the brief: Billions of Blistering Barnacles, LEGO is going to the Moon with The Adventures of Tintin in a brand-new LEGO Ideas set release! The Tintin moon rocket displayed with some of my tintin collectibles Fittingly, as Tintin prepares for his brick-built return to the Moon, Artemis II is making its own historic journey, reminding us that the dream of...

“The Conversation Piece” is a monthly BrickNerd series about creativity and building with LEGO authored by our friends over at the Builder Improvement Initiative (BII), a Discord-based community that helps LEGO builders of all levels get better at their craft through knowledge-sharing and constructive feedback. Have a question you would like us to consider for a future article? You can submit it here. Enjoy! Why Do We Build? To date, The Conversation Piece has explored a range of topics linked to building methodology and technique. From colour theory to the elements of style in LEGO building, our articles have largely concentrated on the ‘whats’ of MOC building. However, a discussion of ‘why’ we make LEGO creations is equally important to understanding both the significance of the hobby to its members and each builder’s creative process. The LEGO community has long attracted, and continues to attract, a large and diverse audience—a trend...

The latest LEGO House exclusive succeeds at something deceptively difficult: turning an entire town into a single, cohesive keepsake. Building 40507 I ❤️ Billund (referred to here on as simply as “I Love Billund”) brought back a flood of memories from my 2019 visit, while also offering a microscale tour through some of LEGO’s most iconic locations and sets. Join us as we take a journey down the Billund Playline, exploring not only this new set but also comparing it to previous versions of iconic LEGO models. LEGO House: The Center of It All First stop on our journey: LEGO House - Home of the Brick. Since this set is a LEGO House exclusive, it’s only natural that the building takes center stage. The architecture has always intrigued me. The building appears nearly all white when viewed horizontally, while the colorful array is only visible from above. While a little horizontal...
