Exo-Force, LEGO’s anime-inspired precursor to Ninjago, is turning 20 and nostalgia for the mech-centric theme has never been higher. Andrew Somers is the latest builder to return to Sentai Mountain. Taking a break from his usual grounded military builds, Andrew reimagines the bright orange Mobile Defense Tank, LEGO’s tachikoma-esque with quad treads and heavy armament to take on enemy drones. Andrew reuses the classic printed orange elements while rebuilding the legs with Technic treads and applies his skill with modern weaponry in redoing the tank’s cannons. The accompanying decor and fleeing drones bring the setting to life. It’s a very modern build that stays very true to its classic inspiration. Andrew also contributed to the Medina Al Musawrah collab earlier this year. The post Exo-Force Mobile Defense Tank redux brings the nostalgia big guns appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

We’re coming up on The Year of the Horse according to the Chinese New Year and LEGO builders around the globe are celebrating with their own equestrian creations. Sakiya Watanabe AKA N.A.B.E_mocs graces us with this majestic horse reared up on hind legs. As if on a similar stride, DeRa gallops in with a fully posable horse; it even has the same coloration and similar build techniques. I like how it is delicately balanced on a stand only two studs wide. Both have me looking forward to a confidence-building 2026. And also Chinese New Year 2026 sets, which should be whinnying in soon. The post Year of the Horse comes galloping along appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Lino

It’s a question that’s been on my mind ever since I saw Star Wars: the Force Awakens. Not who Rey’s parents were, or why the Death Star is the size of a planet now. I still wonder: when BB-8 flicks his little flame in response to Finn’s thumbs-up, is he giving a thumbs-up back? Or is he giving a slightly ruder gesture? We may never know. What we can figure out is which response a LEGO version of the droid will elicit. 75452 BB-8 Astromech Droid marks the second LEGO iteration of this roundest of droids, and is considerably smaller than the 2017 model with a part count of 569. Pre-orders can be made now for US $89.99 | CAN $119.99 | UK £79.99, with a general release date of January 1. Other sellers across the galaxy may have it too, such as Amazon or eBay. Let’s get the ball rolling on...

Yesterday was the 2nd anniversary for LEGO Fortnite which eventually became LEGO Fortnite Odyssey. LEGO Ninjago voice actor Vincent Tong shared a message on social media with a new reveal at the end. LEGO Ninjago will be added to LEGO Fortnite later this week and it was revealed that Kai will be getting a human, non-LEGO look. This is a far departure from what we’re used to seeing with LEGO but it’s also a pretty cool look. We can expect other LEGO Ninjago characters to get similar looks when they are revealed. Happy 2nd birthday @LEGOFortnite It’s gonna be FI-YAH #ninjago #legofortnite #fortnite pic.twitter.com/760uHOAkTR — Vincent Tong (@VincentTong007) December 7, 2025 The post LEGO Ninjago Kai Fortnite Skin Revealed appeared first on The Brick Fan.

Are you a LEGO fan who is tired of hearing, “Can’t you give me other gift ideas than LEGO?” during the holiday season? Are you a loved one of a LEGO fan looking to give something different because your LEGO fan has already bought all their gift ideas for themselves? Are you an AFOL who also loves tools? Are you curious as to what other AFOLs use to build? If you answered yes or maybe to any of those questions, then BrickNerd is here to help you! This list of useful tools for LEGO builders was sourced from both patrons and contributors of BrickNerd. Some of these gift ideas, as great a tool as they may be, may not always align with some builders’ purist sensibilities. And some of the utility of these gift ideas may surprise you. Yes, the best gift for a LEGO lover is more LEGO, but this...
