Bart De Dobbelaer is no stranger to occasionally unsettling builds, and the Brood of Kha’thra is no exception. Still, there’s plenty of beauty to admire here as well. The intentional color usage all over this build is a delight. We’re particularly fond of the carvings and etchings on the stone pillars, each feeling ancient but also somehow modernly sophisticated. The bugs themselves are both unsettling and impressive, and the trans green usage feels reminiscent of the old Insectoids or UFO themes. A closer look at the mass of eggs in the center is not for the faint of heart. The post Beware The Brood of Kha’thra appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

The 1-on-1 duels that we see between LEGO builders in the Iron Builder contest are the stuff of legend; titanic tussles between often well-regarded names in the community. But being open to everyone, the qualifying Iron Forge phase of the competition is a fantastic way for up-and-coming builders to cut their teeth. That makes it a great place in turn to find new building talent, and so it proves with Jonas Ens (AKA Beta Brick).

Let’s round up their journey so far, beginning with a photo-within-a-photo – making nice use of the engine intake that was the third round’s seed part. It’s not the only time this mind-bending builder will innovate with the format! As we’ll see, nature forms a great source of inspiration for Jonas. In the...

The LEGO builder calendar is full of traditions that might seem odd to outsiders. August is for frogs, February is for space rovers. January is the month where we renounce our allegiance to humans and celebrate cyber supremacy with drones! The builds of “Droneuary” can take many forms, from bipedal bots to flying probes – the only rule: no meatbag pilots! Maybe it’s all the AI talk in the zeitgeist or nostalgia for Exo-Force, but 2026 turned out to be an amazing year for Droneuary participation. Here are some of our favorites. Let’s get things started with the most FABULANDOUS drone of the year, that comes courtesy of Gnarlicbread. Seeing the wholesome theme applied to a Devid-style drone is a little terrifying, but the mouse seems okay with it, so maybe those claw hands are for picking fruit and not grabbing friendly critters. The vintage elements aren’t limited to Fabuland; blue...
