It’s been a week and a half since our last LEGO Ideas update and a few more projects have been added to the list of ones that have reached the Third 2025 Review Stage. Compared to the last round, it seems to have slowed down a lot as we’re only up to 47 projects that have hit the 10,000 supporter goal.

TBB alum and RebelLUG member Nannan Zhang can always be counted on for builds that mix innovative techniques with elegant presentation. The AFOL legend’s latest creation depicts a medieval farm where lavender is in bloom. Originally created as part of a collaborative castle build at Brickworld Chicago this past summer, Nannan created a back from to hold the andscape and added a new farmhouse. There’s beauty in how the build breaks from the grid in a mix of angles. The field is skewed using 2×3 wedge plates. Meanwhile, the path uses simple landscaping for an asymmetrical look, which is amplified by the gently curving fences. For the farmhouse, Nannan employs a slew of the newish D-snot paired with rounded tiles for a  distinctive stone finish. Nannan says: “the technique is parts-intensive, time-consuming, and may even look busy, but I’m happy to bring something new to the many ways of building a...

It’s nice to know that the LEGO community are such kind-hearted people. Take our friend Deborah Higdan, for example. This frosty-themed pair of mittens alone would have warranted a feature this time of year but she’ll build a unique pair every day in December. This one happens to be day sixteen. The kind-hearted part is this is for the Build to Give charity; build something with the heart theme, post to social media with the buildtogive hashtag and LEGO will give sets to children in hospitals, care homes and other disadvantaged situations. The holidays can be a rough time of the year for some folks and it’s nice to see Deborah and others become a part of something so special. I couldn’t pick just one favorite so here is a very dimensional pair wrapped up in a bow. And finally here’s another that’s sort of abstract, like a mitten snow angel...

I’ve always loved seeing new Treebeard MOCs, because he’s rarely ever built the same way twice. The variety of scales and building techniques we’ve seen used to create one of my favorite Tolkien characters makes it all the more interesting, and this Treebeard build from Ben Arkley is one of the most impressive yet. The sheer scale of this build is the first thing that sticks out, especially when you notice how tiny Merry and Pippin are in contrast. Upon closer inspection, you’ll notice a seemingly endless amount of tree branches and horns/tails in a variety of colors to really make him feel like a forest come to life. I especially loved finding the little hidden details living all over him – mushrooms, birds, and of course an unwilling Orc. Ben  kindly provide work-in-progress images of his colossal Ent so that we can appreciate the engineering challenge of building a character...
