The end of SHIPtember (September’s month-long space ship building contest) doesn’t mean the end of massive spaceships built from LEGO bricks. Any time of year is a great time to build a spaceship, as proven by this slim stellar marvel by Oscar Cederwall. Featuring a minimal color scheme of light gray and dark red, ans sporting what may very well be the single longest greebly section I have ever seen (the thin strip of random gray bits and bobs along the front). Seen from the back, several subtly angled sections blend together very well, and a few textured parts along the top provide a nice bit of visual interest. Here and there, an alternate colored piece gives the ship a naturally weathered look. The post A super-slim LEGO spaceship full of great details appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

With all the tiny plants, bouquets, and succulents available in the LEGO Botanical Collection, I thought it was important to bring the brick-built flower back to its roots, pun intended. And with only 162 pieces, we can enjoy all the upscaled glory of my take on a trio of the original LEGO flower from 1977 sitting on a tri-stem piece from that same year. This is going to find a great home on my desk alongside my similarly-scaled creations. Now off to get the parts for white and red versions of the build… The post The one flower missing from the LEGO Botanical Collection appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

It’s not every day that we here at TBB review something that’s not found on the LEGO store shelves. But with the Bricklink Designer Program about to launch pre-orders for Series 1 in a few days, we were offered the opportunity by Bricklink to review one of the sets in advance: the Snack Shack designed by Stefan Cornelissen (Distracted Bldr). In addition to the advance copy of the set, we were also able to sit down with Stefan over video chat to talk about his inspiration, specific design choices, and intended implementation of his model.

BDP Series 1 – Snack Shack will be available for pre-order from Bricklink starting Feburary 7th (with...

Earlier today, LEGO designer George Gilliatt took to X/Twitter to talk about some of the features of the upcoming LEGO Harry Potter Talking Sorting Hat (76429), including the new sound brick. You can animate the hat by pressing on top of the hat or from the bottom as well. The sound brick slots in the back of the hat and it has 31 different sounds that it can say randomly. The Talking Sorting Hat releases on March 1 but you can pre-order today on the LEGO Shop for $99.99. As a Rakuten/Linkshare Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases. Check out the cool functions of the LEGO Talking Sorting Hat, including that brand new sound brick element!
