A few weeks ago we got a first look at the extremely rare LEGO Peter Jackson minifigure we now know the buyer and how much they paid for it. We can now confirm that Samuel Burkhardt aka rarest_lego_minifigures on Instagram is the buyer which isn’t too surprising. The more shocking part is that the final price of it was $38,028 and if you account for import taxes, it’s value is probably worth over $40,000. When you check out Samuel’s account, you can see thousands and thousands of dollars of rare LEGO items that he has obtained throughout the years and the Peter Jackson minifigure may be one of the most rare ones in his collection.

For each issue of BrickJournal Magazine, the BrickNerd team creates instructions for a LEGO mini-model to go with the theme of the cover story. With their issue celebrating the diversity within the AFOL community a few years ago, we decided to create a puzzle! We chose this model for this specific issue because a single puzzle piece is a fun and instantly recognizable build, but if you make many and combine them, they become even more beautiful together. The instructions are for a single puzzle piece, but you can use them to make four puzzle pieces in almost any color. The elements you will likely have to swap due to color availability are the 1x2 bricks with the curved top and the SNOT bricks (instead of the BrickHeadz SNOT brick or two of the half-version, you can use two 1x1 SNOT bricks or a single 1x2 SNOT brick). But there are...

We’re in pretty much unprecedented territory for LEGO Ideas as we’re now at 90 projects that have qualified for the Second 2025 Review Stage. At this point, there’s no question that 100 qualified projects is well within possibility and I’m going to venture a guess that we might even reach as high as 120. The qualifying period ends at the end of August so there’s plenty of time for projects to gather votes.

Today’s guest article comes from Evan Crouch, an AFOL out of Colorado, a historical MOC builder, contributor to Brethren of the Brick Seas and the Builder Improvement Initiative, and founder of Rocky Mountain Minifigs. You can find his work on Instagram. What Is DUPLO? Have you ever wondered how you can possibly create a large mountain or landscape using your limited brick collection? Among other interesting methods, one great technique for building big is to integrate DUPLO into your LEGO builds. DUPLO is a line of large building bricks introduced by LEGO in 1969. A 2x4 DUPLO brick is twice as large as a LEGO system brick, meaning it is twice as long, twice as wide, and twice as tall. In practice, this means a single DUPLO brick can fill the space of eight LEGO System bricks! Interestingly, LEGO also briefly produced a line of extra-large bricks called QUATRO, which are...
