LEGO diorama expert Anu Pehrson is back as a guest contributor to give a behind-the-scenes look at her latest creation, a large scene that highlights LEGO fans’ favorite farm animal, the goat, as well as the minifigure who tends it. If you’ve ever wondered how some of the big builds we feature go from concept to completion, Anu has documented her process for us from first bricks to final touches. You may recognize Anu from some of her previous builds we’ve covered, including a giant minifigure-scale recreation of The Wall from A Game of Thrones. Check out our articles about Anu’s previous LEGO builds here.  In 2011 Lego produced a cute little goat in one set, 7189 Mill Village Raid. After that, the minifigure-style goat didn’t appear again until 2024, when we got a collectible minifigure of a goatherd with another cute little goat. In that gap, the goat became one...

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...

As we reach the halfway point of September, this is your friendly reminder that there’s still plenty of time to break out the pink, purple, and aqua bricks and participate in Friendshiptember!  The annual challenge invites builders of all experience levels to create a ship (space, sky, or seafaring, all are fine!) inspired by the colors and minidolls of LEGO Friends. This year, The Brothers Brick is joining the sponsors with a prize of the Friendship Camper Van for one lucky participant. To participate: Build a friendship!Post it to Instagramtag @friendshiptember as a collaborator You can make a grand sailing ship like Virgina_bricks did last year: But don’t worry about needing ton of parts like SHIPtember. You can also enter with a cute little craft like this one from Kayla. You can learn more about the contest, follow Friendshiptember on Instagram or read Josh Parkinson’s article on the joys of embracing...

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

In addition to the amazing LEGO models created by builders worldwide, The Brothers Brick brings you the best LEGO news and reviews. 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...

Earlier this year, we introduced you to Bullseye, a literal drum machine. But Steve ‘Rubblemaker‘ Marsh was in the process of crafting an entire technological trio, and they have finally arrived! Queen Bou-D-1CA is the band’s lead guitarist and vocalist. She’s shredding like no human can, thanks to two fretting arms. And no doubt when she’s really wailing, that head of chains whips around in a dramatic show. Meanwhile, the band’s bassit Gusoku the Low plays so fast that his instrument only needs two strings. Look at the way those articulate fingers can spread out. Bonus, Steve says the bass build really works, and it’s possible to get some notes out of it. That would be a great way to produce some music for set 21328. The post These robots are ready to rock appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Norm Harper

Every scene can teach a lesson, and this scene has taught me not to wonder into deep caves. According to Tkytko, that is where Raus’zod has the Weeping Skull Mausoleum. The scene is full of clever details with great building techniques. And all those details come together to create a rather scary lair. Dead center there’s a nice stacked group of features: a double, curved staircase in front of a mystical gate surrounded by a bone-packed wall. Over to the left, we find a work area with disturbing tools and a fountain of blood. And on the right is a space for studying the dark arts. No doubt this is where Raus’zod sources the evil practices happening here. The post A brilliant lair for the dark arts appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

This build by dicken liu is exactly what I love about the LEGO community. In theater, they call it the “yes, and” principle; you take what you were given and go further. Dicken took the Lego 76968 Tyrannosaurus Rex set and went further…all the way to Godzilla! To look at it, you’d think Dicken had made a career of studying fossilized kaiju. But, of course, Godzilla will never die, so we will never know if the skeleton is accurate. The post Godzilla gets the T-Rex treatment appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

Over the years, we’ve seen builders use all kinds of non-standard LEGO products; brick separators, the sprues that various minifigure accessories come attached to, even empty stick sheets. But Trevor Pearson-Jones is breaking new ground by using this actual LEGO box to create a, well…a box turtle. Trevor has captured the spirit of the LEGO Freestyle sets by crafting a delightfully mismatched creature that still retains plenty of detailed anatomy that calls to mind the real thing. And, just like a real turtle, we’re pretty sure this one can hide in its shell. We just wonder how much disassembly is required to get him in there.
