In the neon-lit world of cyberpunk, storytelling thrives on the fusion of humanity and machine. Despite never having an official LEGO theme, this aesthetic has inspired a gritty niche within the minifigure community. Creators replace standard arms, legs, and accessories with intricate, high-tech upgrades that evoke a dystopian future, popularized by video games, movies and TV. In this post, we’ll explore the impressive craftsmanship of LEGO ripper doctors and celebrate the possibilities of LEGO’s increasingly intricate part selection. Devid_vii delivers some top notch tactical troopers & a K Walker Unit in a sleek tiled-off design, creatively using four black microphones as missile pods. We love the articulation of this warbeast achieved using black pneumatic ‘T’s on its hips and feet. Perhaps the most prolific Cyberpunk minifigure creator, Bam.bricks.customs has created an array of brick-built legs using Exo-force and minifigure hands that really pack a punch. Coupled with dual hazard-strip cyber swords...

Growing up as an ’80s kid, cartoons were glorified toy commercials full of heroes, villains, and lasers, with the only sitcom being Saved by the Bell, which wasn’t even a cartoon but beat going outside on a Saturday morning. In the era of the animated sitcom, a cartoon can focus on workplace comedy and hanging out with loser friends (and the odd laser battle) and run for eight seasons, like the brilliant Regular Show. Eli Willsea is a fan and paid tribute to one of the show’s most iconic locations: Pop’s house. The house is a deceptively simple-looking build from one of the AFOL world’s most sophisticated builders, but the abundance of right angles and clean lines hides many complex SNOT techniques – just take a close look at the garage door. Studs are a rare sight in Eli’s builds – do the ones with 1×1 tiles wedged into them to...

Let me be upfront: The Nightmare Before Christmas isn’t my cup of tea. But I respect it. And there’s no denying it’s captured the hearts of fans across the world. And, I have to admit, I find this Jack Skellington sleigh by Kalais to be a delightful blend of Halloween and Christmas aesthetics. The giant bone runners, the mausoleum-like back structure, the jack-o-lanterns lighting the way. Is it based off of something from the movie? I don’t remember. And it doesn’t matter. The charm of it all has scared the Scrooge right out of me. The post Slay Bells Ring… appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Norm Harper

This is our weekly Brick Report for the 2nd week of September 2025.TBB NEWS AND REVIEWS Wow, we have a lot of news to catch up on, since many of our TTB contributors were busy at Seattle’s BrickCon 2025 last weekend, where we hosted a fun collaborative display of a Steampunk-themed world’s fair. LEGO announced the very first $1,000 set, the Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Death Star (referred to by many as the Death Slice). Also, a wave of holiday-themed LEGO sets was revealed (is it just me, or do they launch these sets earlier every year?). On top of all that, we got a new take on LEGO sets inspired by the natural world with the reveal of the new LEGO Ideas Mineral Collection. For another dose...
