LEGO has launched Rebuild the Galaxy, and builder lego_m.art has answered the call with a Blacktron version of the Star Wars snow speeder. Classic Space meets classic Star Wars using the new trans-yellow windscreen. The test pilot may look nervous, but the build is solid. I particularly love the classic space substitute for the rear harpoon. The post A Blacktron test flight appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Nathan Schroeder

If you’re a fan of LEGO and Transformers, then it’s almost inconceivable you wouldn’t know who Alex Jones is. His portfolio includes brick-built Autobots and Decepticons who turn into cars, trucks, planes, beasts, and some that even combine together! But for all he’s accomplished, Alex still had one building challenge he hadn’t faced – the Decepticon ninja warrior Sixshot, capable of transforming into six different modes! Robot Tank Starfighter Laser Pistol Armored Car Wolf Obviously two decades of engineering LEGO Transformers has served him well. All six modes are executed just as well as they were on the original toy, and in some cases even better. The added elbow, knee, and hip articulation helps both the robot and wolf modes really shine! To take a look at our coverage of some of Alex’s past Transformers and his other pop-culture passions, be sure and visit our archives. The post A massive meanie...

A long time ago, in the galaxy of Denmark, LEGO created a Christmas-themed X-Wing fighter as an employee-exclusive gift set. This year, LEGO is letting everyone get in on the holiday fun with LEGO Star Wars 40806 Gingerbread AT-AT, an irresistible set we never saw coming. Over the summer, Star Wars LEGO sets rankled many fans with steep prices on underwhelming sets (excellent UCS Slave-1 aside). Containing roughly 700 pieces for $60, this holiday remix of one of the galaxy’s most popular vehicles offers welcome value. True, there look to be any printed parts or new molds, the concept and execution are a true delight and Gingerbread Vader looks ready to jingle all the way to the Hoth system. What do you think? Will you be picking up the Gingerbread AT-AT when it releases on October 1? LEGO Star Wars 40806 Gingerbread AT-AT | 697 Pieces | Available October 1  |US...

SHIPtember is an annual AFOL tradition where space builders challenge themselves to create a spacecraft that’s at least 100 studs long, built entirely during September. “SHIP” refers both to spaceship but is also an acronym for “Seriously Huge Investment in Parts.”  Simon Liu helped start the trend 12 years ago, and for LEGO space fans, it’s a highlight of the year. Scott Wilhelm is one of the original participants and an event regular. But Scott’s love of SHIPs is too great to contain to just one month. At Brickworld, Scott debuted the Noctem Æternus, a dark blue behemoth measuring 105 studs long. Scott is always a master of color blocking, here seamlessly adding brown striping. Viewed from the side, the ship evokes OG Star Wars designs with a heavily greebled layer between the slicker hulls. The wedge-shaped stern reveals some impressive engines. As the Noctem Æternus was built before September, it won’t...

Summer’s over, September is here, and you know what that means: businesses around the world will start marketing their Christmas wares inexplicably early. LEGO is no different, with their selection of advent calendars is among the many sets hitting shelves this month. There’s a bit of a different flavour to some of them though! Minecraft and Frozen join the fray with their own dedicated calendars. Even 76300 Arkham Asylum below – one of the most exciting new releases – has an advent flavour to it, although you’ll need to wait until September 9 for your pre-order to come through. LEGO DC Batman 76300 Arkham Asylum | 2,953 Pieces | Available September 9 | US $299.99 | CAN $379.99 | UK £269.99 If you can’t wait for that, the Black Pearl or Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory (both of which also have general availability starting from mid-Septmeber, then be sure to check out our selection below, or...

The LEGO Gods, the powers that be has declared this time to be Frogust. The Grand Frog, Simon Liu has been doing frog-related stuff for years now and it has definitely been noticed. It’s now a thing officially that falls conveniently between Summer Joust and SHIPtember and they invite you to join in on all the fun. You may have noticed this regal entry lately as well as this one. Even the local frogs in my neighborhood seem to be into it. Now that we’re at the dog days of summer- or should I say frog days of summer- let’s check out what others have done. Trevor Pearson-Jones starts out strong with, not quite a frog but it’s warty cousin Chief Toad Gambunta. There might be a little something extra in that pipe he’s smoking. Just sayin’. Not to be outdone by his first entry, Trevor comes back with a tree...

I was just minding my own business when LEGO builder Phillippe Moisan begged the question; is your inner clown light or dark? Then I was like- wait, I have an inner clown? I mean, I know I like to crack jokes and I even have a dark and brooding persona but now I’m worried I might have one of these creepy buggers inside me messing with my spleen or something. For some of us, Coulrophobia was a thing long before Stephen King penned It. Don’t get me started about John Wayne Gacy! Here’s the “light” version of this new creation seemingly inviting us to come and play. Then once the lights are out it’s- Holy sweet jeebus! With the help of some glow-in-the-dark parts and maybe some blacklight trickery the clown reveals its true dark intentions. Phillippe, if you haven’t already, you should reach out to The Clown Motel in Tonopah,...

Marble? Plaster? Jin Chen has chosen LEGO for this rugged bust. Titled La Marseillaise, the face is modeled on the revolutionary spirit of France as sculpted by François Rude on the Arc de Triomphe. The monochromatic palette with a single point of light showcases the wonderful depth of this carved brick build. Jin, who won LEGO Masters China in 2023, displayed the bust, along with his other incredible LEGO sculptures, at China’s AFOL fest last month where it won a trophy for best styling. Tragically, the delicate bust did not survive the journey home. The revolution is over.

The last time we featured some LEGO artwork by Jarek Książczyk, it prompted all sorts of questions. He recently built two more, in what we’re told is definitely not becoming a series. The only question I’m prompted to ask is – why not?! They’re beautiful! We start off with a piece simply titled ‘Watchers’. This is actually a remake, of sorts; the first time Jarek built those little fellows, they were photographed on their own. This is the realisation of his full vision, and that brick-built sunset looks glorious! However, we’re told that it was a real pain in the backside to work with! The parts for both the piece above and ‘The Last Piece’, below, are held in by only friction, gravity and the black frame. I really like the use of the Minecraft ‘eye’ plate for the skyscraper windows here. In fact, that focal point in the middle kind...
