October brought no shortage of great LEGO content from around the globe! Here at BrickNerd, we started the month by providing a Spiderman-themed spider model for Halloween and ended it with instructions for a cute ghost trick-or-treater. We had some fun with Wednesday sets, and learned about customizing a real-world motorcycle with LEGO, and cracked the secret code of LEGO castle sets. We looked at removing printing from LEGO elements to create a new minifig look and investigated how minifigure keychains are constructed to repair a sentimental keepsake. We checked in with our FLL team, sent a castle to space, doubled down on developing a LEGO style, and learned more than we ever wanted to know about LEGO clowns. In fact, we’ve published so many interesting articles in October that we’ve included an interactive calendar of them at the bottom of this post, so you can make sure you haven’t missed...

Are you scared yet? I doubt it. This brick-built Halloween ghost isn’t here to scare anyone, just to get some candy! Yes, if you peek under that white sheet, there is just a kid in a costume going trick-or-treating.

And those wheels - hard to find them in studio :D I really love the cute sneakers and the positioning, which show that this kid is mid-skate, heading to the next house to trick-or-treat. Hopefully that bucket is full if candy by the end of the evening! Full cloth protection from both front and back,...
