Expert character builder Loke (byggi_l) is back with another stunning creation, this time the Jedi Grand Master himself. Based on his appearance in The Clone Wars, Loke has managed to use his face-shaping skills to wonderfully capture animated Yoda’s proportions. The nose/mouth combo is the highlight for me, as it neatly combines two round mushroom head pieces in opposite orientations. The plant parts used for his hands and feet are the perfect shade of green as Master Yoda looks ready to take on Darth Bane himself.

The line between High Gothic architecture and Star Wars greebling can be razor thin, as evidenced by this incredible tower from devoureroflego. Working entirely in dark grey, the structure is rich with detail, like the most ornate cathedral, where a close examination of any portion reveals myriad amazing connections and clever parts usage. Once you’ve soaked in the full model, let’s zoom in. Let’s start with the lower section. Chain links are held in place by antennae and serve as microscale railings. Minfig hands and arms, as well as hot dogs, create filigree patterns along the bottom of hte tower. While definitely not “legal” in an official set, I really enjoy the downward spires made from blades gently angled into points an dcapped off with technic pins. Now we move on to the midsection. The ever-popular roller skate adds texture to these smaller spires, circled by syringes. With so many unexpected...

Bricks & Fables is a new online community focused on the intersection of LEGO and D&D, started by some familiar faces from our Minifig Monday features. To celebrate the GOAT of the latest Collectible Minifig wave, who isn’t a goat at all, but a frog, the group rallied a party of adventurers to make amphibious adventurers using the new frog costume headpiece. In the D&D universe of Forgotten Realms, they’re called Bullwugs, and they’re so cute we would kiss them, if that wouldn’t risk turning them into boring human princes. amorphousbricks introduces Ribberos, the Bullywug wizard. The toothy head under the transforms the cute costume into something sinister. Using carrot tops for toes is a brilliant way to add details to the slimy character, and we love the mix of green decorative elements. sword.bricks tells us that from a single, sun-warmed frog spawn pond on the edge of a moss-choked ruin...

It’s been a while since our last LEGO Ideas update and it’s been busy over there as nine more projects have reached the First 2026 Review Stage. There’s been a little bit of everything that fans have voted for. One interesting note is that we have one fan designer that has multiple projects in one round which is pretty rare. We’ve seen designers in different stages but we don’t see much of the same designer with multiple projects in one stage.

A new month is here, which means more competitive building! February may be the shortest month of the year, but it packs a punch—whether you’re building a heartfelt habitat for Valentine’s Day or going for an interplanetary roll with FebRovery.
