When is a starship not a starship? Why, when it’s part of the LEGO Star Wars Starship Collection, of course. This line of statues has given us plenty of microscale versions of larger ships from the galaxy far, far away. So far, they have all been true to the sub-theme’s name; but coming out next January 1 is 75440 AT-AT – decidedly not a starship! No matter, though. It should still make for a nice little model. Pre-orders are open now with an asking price US $64.99 | CAN $84.99 | UK £54.99; third-party sellers like Amazon or eBay might also have it available after general release. At 525 pieces, it’s one of the smallest versions of this walker LEGO has ever released as a stand-alone set. But size, as Yoda tells us, matters not… LEGO Star Wars 75440 AT-AT | 525 Pieces | Available January 1, 2026; Pre-orders open now...

ExpansionBricks is launching Star Wars and Friends. And beyondb0nes is digging into Minecraft and City. Now let’s open some doors and see what gifts are in store for today! Fools: A nice frothy glass of butterbeer! I can’t help but crave a glass after looking at this little build. Bones: It’s not really the season to enjoy a nice cold beer, but the build is quite interesting. This piece of white cream is perfect for the top. Expansion: That’s a minifig scale glass right?...

Minifig Monday is back after a few weeks away, and since it’s been a few weeks, we thought we’d bring you a jumbo-sized lineup of “large” characters. All of the featured figures incorporate minifig elements but are assembled from dozens of elements to create ornate designs and dynamic poses. Bricksnbeasts leads the pack with Anubis, Keeper of Forgotten Souls in black and gold. The Egyptian god’s weapons are especially epic, like the sword that uses dual axe blades for the hilt. A gold sprue works perfectly for a scarab detail on the chest. brickbot_studio diverges from his signature bot style to pay tribute to one of the great 90s sci-fi films: The Fifth Element. This all-gold Mondoshawan is instantly recognizable. The ray gun element seems like it was made for that alien face. phiphibrick has been making waves lately by starting a trend around prosthetic arms and giant swords. This video...

LEGO’s Happy Plants is one of our favorite sets of the year. Not only does it offer joy right out of the box, but the set has inspired so much creativity in the community as folks remix the concept with a personal touch. Tim Goddard, a legend in these parts, is the latest builder to get the green thumb bug. As end-of-year appreciation gifts for colleagues, Tim assembled a greenhouse worth of potted pals with bright colors and even brighter expressions. It’s evidence of just how rich the soil is for cute LEGO planters. You’re probably wondering how Tim came up with all of these brilliant flowerpot builds. As talented as Tim is, I suspect he had a little help from a Trandoshan botanist and droids.

Fools: This Acromantula (giant spider, for you muggles out there) is my favorite of the creature mini builds. I hate spiders, but maybe it’s because this one only has two eyes that I find it cute? Jake: It is quite cute! But does it taste like chocolate? Fools: A mailbox might’ve been more suiting for...

Pop culture is full of memorable vehicular stunts; from the repeating tropes like KITT’s Turbo Boost to Steve McQueen’s classic high-speed chase in Bullitt. But the most beloved of them all has got to be the motorcycle slide from Akira. And Dan Ko shows us you’re never too young to homage a classic, with this infant bike slide built as a part of a Secret Santa project. Which is perfect, because this vignette looks small enough to hang on a tree branch.

When I first glanced at this Vic Viper from pyrefyre I thought it was a great micro-scale build…but there is a minifig hiding behind that transparent-black windscreen. Then came the rush of part recognition. Amidst the sharp angles of slopes, tiles and wedge plates, I saw the ball joints as the base of the struts connecting the engines. This design could stand in any scale, but it is particularly enjoyable holding its minifig. The post A Vic Viper in aeroskimmer form appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

Fools: This student might be Angelina Johnson, Gryffindor’s Chaser during Harry’s first few years, but the hair style just isn’t quite right. Bones: Here comes the second wave of Christmas sweaters, but at the same time, we weren’t going to decorate the Great Hall with only four minifigures! Fools: Today’s gift is pretty simple, definitely...

You think it’s hard getting home for the holidays? Try having to traverse the galaxy. After all, it’s Christmas time in space, too. And Santa Claus is busy enough trying to hit all the houses on Earth. Which means it’s up to this dedicated gray alien to deliver presents on their planet. Thankfully, Frost has constructed them a vehicle suitable to the task. We’re assuming Earth reindeer can’t breathe the atmosphere, so a heavy-duty pair of treads and skis will have to do instead. And no need to check the list again, because I’m certain that radar dish is able to detect the naughty/nice levels of the local population. Classic Space carollers trade oxygen tanks for carves and sing about radars and mistletoe. Santa stops to decorate a family’s tree… or perhaps a tree-shaped relative. When a rover won’t cut it, Santa breaks out the saucer. Glowing red noses are the...

Back in 2002, Pluto Nash flopped hard in theaters and The Segway was supposed to change our lives as we knew it. LEGO also had a major misstep with the short-lived Galador line with most folks citing it as a departure from what the LEGO experience should be. This makes it all the more hilarious as Will Hafner has an advent calendar of sorts sure to squig you out big time. He promises 24 days of Galidor (or Glinchmas) and I’m here for it. Some entries of note so far include this meat-head-alien sure to have you questioning your life choices. Next on the slab is the unsettling Spider-Man playing a violin. Or Man-Spider? Why is his spider half flesh-colored? Does this mean he’s only wearing a suit top? Does the spider web come out where you’d think it would? This creation proposes questions that are probably best left unanswered. I’d...
