We’re a bit more than halfway through the year so far and we’ve seen some amazing LEGO creations from talented builders around the globe. Normally, we’d highlight a top ten list at the end of the year and we still will. But let’s take the time to scope out what our prospects are thus far based on views and see if they remain at the top of the heap once we celebrate the new year with fireworks, champagne, kazoos and whatnot. In no particular order, here’s what we have so far. Speaking of celebrations, LEGO fenom DeRa has two reasons to celebrate as they’ve hit our list twice. First up is this impressive RX-78-2 Gundam in all it’s primary colored glory. This formidable Gundam blasted onto the scene in January and the year and the LEGO Gundam world hasn’t been the same since. Then lightning strikes again in February when DeRa...

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.

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!...
