Our favorite holiday tradition is opening all six LEGO Advent Calendars, one day at a time, with you, our readers! Along with spoiler pics of the daily gifts, we include commentary and alternate builds to celebrate the season and creativity. We have an all-star cast of custom minifig creators leading our Advent adventure this year. Fool’s Figures is wizarding his way through Harry Potter and Frozen calendars. ExpansionBricks is launching Star Wars and Friends. And beyondb0nes is digging into Minecraft and City. Now let’s open some doors and see what gifts are in store for today! Fools: This Acromantula (giant spider, for you muggles out there) is my favorite of the creature mini builds. I hate spiders, but maybe it’s because this one only has two eyes that I find it cute? Jake: It is quite cute! But does it taste like chocolate? Fools: A mailbox might’ve been more suiting for...

Pop culture is full of memorable vehicular stunts; from the repeating tropes like KITT’s Turbo Boost to Steve McQueen’s classic high-speed chase in Bullitt. But the most beloved of them all has got to be the motorcycle slide from Akira. And Dan Ko shows us you’re never too young to homage a classic, with this infant bike slide built as a part of a Secret Santa project. Which is perfect, because this vignette looks small enough to hang on a tree branch.

When I first glanced at this Vic Viper from pyrefyre I thought it was a great micro-scale build…but there is a minifig hiding behind that transparent-black windscreen. Then came the rush of part recognition. Amidst the sharp angles of slopes, tiles and wedge plates, I saw the ball joints as the base of the struts connecting the engines. This design could stand in any scale, but it is particularly enjoyable holding its minifig. The post A Vic Viper in aeroskimmer form appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

Fools: This student might be Angelina Johnson, Gryffindor’s Chaser during Harry’s first few years, but the hair style just isn’t quite right. Bones: Here comes the second wave of Christmas sweaters, but at the same time, we weren’t going to decorate the Great Hall with only four minifigures! Fools: Today’s gift is pretty simple, definitely...

You think it’s hard getting home for the holidays? Try having to traverse the galaxy. After all, it’s Christmas time in space, too. And Santa Claus is busy enough trying to hit all the houses on Earth. Which means it’s up to this dedicated gray alien to deliver presents on their planet. Thankfully, Frost has constructed them a vehicle suitable to the task. We’re assuming Earth reindeer can’t breathe the atmosphere, so a heavy-duty pair of treads and skis will have to do instead. And no need to check the list again, because I’m certain that radar dish is able to detect the naughty/nice levels of the local population. Classic Space carollers trade oxygen tanks for carves and sing about radars and mistletoe. Santa stops to decorate a family’s tree… or perhaps a tree-shaped relative. When a rover won’t cut it, Santa breaks out the saucer. Glowing red noses are the...
