Sometimes a single piece can set the stage for a LEGO build, and in this case, it was a sand-green rooftop element which inspired Duncan Lindbo to create an entire scene around it, and in the same color as well from a winding stair, to a bench and a teapot to provide a relaxing respite from spell-casting. The post A monochromatic oasis for a wizard appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Daniel

Over the past four weeks, fifty brave builders joined us for our inaugural role-play competition: Heroes of Fur and Feather. In three challenges, each player created LEGO scenes and lore that advanced the story of their animal hero. There were so many inspiring builds and epic plot twists, but at the end of the journey, one builder consistently won us over with his amazing character, beautifully staged scenes, chilling creature designs, and cozy storytelling. And that builder is Ben Grayson! For completing the quest of winning over our panel of judges, Ben wins a copy of  Blathers’ Museum Collection. Thanks to everyone else who participated. Now, we’re proud to present Ben’s series of builds in full. Priscilla Bramblewhisk, a squirrelling ranger, has always enjoyed an adventure since she was a wee-squirrelling. Whether it was climbing trees, hopping over rocks, or exploring burrows of other creatures within her realm. As she grew...

Firespray-class starships appear to be like proverbial London buses. You wait 20 years for a specific one, and then two turn up within three months of each other! LEGO finally re-visited Jango Fett’s Slave I in style earlier this year, with the mammoth 2,970-piece 75414. But if that set’s $330 price tag is putting you off, good news! From August 1, you’ll be able to pick up 75433 Jango Fett’s Starship for a more modest US $69.99 | CAN $89.99 | UK £59.99 (and you may be able to find it on eBay or Amazon, too). This one’s only got 707 pieces, but it does feature an extra minifigure for a total of three. Read on to see if you should pick up one, both, or neither… The LEGO Group provided The Brothers Brick with an early copy of this set for review. Providing TBB with products for review guarantees neither coverage...

What were you doing in the early 90s? If you said marveling over the collapse of the Soviet Union to the tune of Smells Like Teen Spirit, you’d be correct. Also, if you happened to have been a LEGO maniac at the time, M-Tron probably rocked your world with all it’s magnetic red and black glory. Chris Yu packs up and takes us back to a simpler time with his newest edition to his line of Classic Space-theme luggage. As usual, Chris’s luggage doubles as a secret base and this one is brimming with vehicular goodies. The M-Tron logo is ace! He makes it clear that this is bag 7 and even renders our research easy by providing an image of all his space-base luggage since 2017. Be sure to click the video to see this fabulous luggage become the best piece of M-Tron gear this side of the Information Superhighway!...

Now normally, when we feature LEGO creations on the Brothers Brick, we like to lead with some nice clear photos that really show a build off. But sometimes we have to make an exception, such as when the scene is set as fantastically as in Kyle Collard (LordofVador)’s colossal Mustafer diorama! This of course depicts Anakin and Obi-Wan’s duel at the climax of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. The moody lighting and bright blue lightsaber blades instantly evoke that epic scene on Mustafar. But it doesn’t look half bad in daylight either! This was a heck of an effort by Kyle: over 26,000 pieces and close to 300 hours of building and re-building. It has real meaning, too. Kyle tells us that this same scene was the subject of one of his first MOCs, some 14 (!) years ago. So this build doubles as a showcase for his growth as...
