LEGO has recently released the new LEGO Play App which replaces the LEGO Life App. LEGO Play is more of a rebranded app that has more things to offer such as minigames, a creative canvas, a LEGO avatar creator, and more. It is a separate app than LEGO Life so you’ll have to download the new one and delete the old one since it is no longer supported, however, you can still use your current LEGO Insiders login and any content that was previously created can be migrated over. Introducing: LEGO® PLAY – A New App To Help Children Unleash Their Creative Superpowers The LEGO Group has recently launched LEGO® Play, a new kid-safe, creative app for all brick lovers, builders, and creators! The new app will allow kids to bring to life their own creations and share with friends, watch videos and play games, along with a whole host of...

Alright BrickNerd fans, today is National Radio Day in the US… and it’s also National Bacon Lovers Day! (Not sure who comes up with these things or why, but that’s what we’ve got to work with in a pinch.) Whether you’re tuning into the crackle of the airwaves or the sizzle of the skillet, lucky for us, there are plenty of LEGO MOCs to check out! Vintage Let’s kick it off with something from BrickNerd’s own Andreas Lenander. There was a time when radios were people’s connection to the outside world: news, entertainment, and of course, the emergency broadcast network- Shriiieeeeek!!! We all know that sound. Good times! Cooking Up Some Tunes Here we’ve got two variations from Johan Alexander (Jalex). First is a seventies-era radio that’s familiar to me from my childhood. We had one in the kitchen, too. But they could also run on batteries, so you could take...

Ah, the influencer. A much-maligned – sometimes unfairly so – mainstay of modern social media. Although I don’t know much about LEGO influencers, I do know about some influential LEGO builders; namely, Nick Jensen. And he has turned his talented hand to… Well, a brick-built influencer! (These articles aren’t just thrown together, you know!) This social media savant’s pose gives her so much character, and it’s not hard to picture what that selfie she’s taking will look like. Front and centre of the piece is a great use of a particular LEGO part, though. A cupcake holder – seen in a couple of Dots sets – makes for a fantastic miniskirt! href=”https://www.flickr.com/photos/nickjensen/53930483696/in/pool-lego/”> The post Building under the influence(r) appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

Can’t pick just one big-budget sci-fi franchise in which plucky insurgents strike back against an evil from the stars? Now you don’t have to. Moptoptrev‘s “Neytiri’s First Space Flight” blends the aerial rides of choice from both Avatar and Star Wars in vivid color. The LEGO creation is part machine, part creature, and all deadly. Even without the Avatar additions, the color scheme makes for a visually stunning X-wing, but the banshee parts take it to a whole new level. The craft’s signature S-foils have been replaced by banshee wings, and the laser cannons are now banshee heads. The largest head forms the nose of the living starfighter. I don’t know how all those heads work together, but one thing’s for sure: if you’re a bad guy, this is one thing you don’t want to see in your rearview mirror.

Although it likely falls foul of a few OSHA or health & safety regulations, it can’t be denied that the Burrow – home of the Weasleys in the Harry Potter books and movies – leaves a lasting impression with its ramshackle vibe. Having been in a handful of playsets, LEGO is now seeing fit to release an upgraded version of this rickety residence. 76437 The Burrow – Collector’s Edition will hit shelves just in time for Back to Hogwarts day, i.e. this September 1st, for US $259.99 | CAN $339.99 | UK £219.99. That price nets you the 2,405 pieces required to build the Burrow, but between its release and September 10 it will also qualify LEGO Insiders for some additional gifts with purchase (GWPs). Chief among these is 40695 Borgin and Burkes: Floo Network, which includes a Lucius Malfoy figure and is available if you spend US $130 | CAN...
