Today’s guest article comes from Megan Lum, an unabashed AFOL on the move. She is the LAN ambassador for the Women’s Brick Initiative, a long-time contributor for Brickset, and a BrickNerd patron. The year was 2020, in the middle of a pandemic, and circumstances occurred that my husband and I had to do what strikes fear in many AFOL hearts – we had to move! But what is the best way to move lots and lots of LEGO sets without damaging the boxes?  IMage via LEGO 2020: California to Seattle - The “Office Boxes” Method This was my first move since coming out of my Dark Ages, and I wasn’t sure where to start. I wasn’t sure exactly how large my collection was. I should mention that my collection is exclusively made up of sets. I don’t MOC, so I don’t have bulk LEGO pieces (save for several boxes from a...

Amazon has further dropped the price of the LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 26 6 Pack (66764) by 33% which drops the price of it down to $19.94.

LEGO has announced that there will be a live set reveal on October 22 at 12pm ET. During the reveal, there will be a Q&A session with the set designers. In addition, there will be a sweepstakes for a chance to win a signed copy of the set or a $100 e-gift card. There is also an opportunity to redeem 50 points for a customized minifigure, while supplies last. My guess for the reveal is the LEGO Ideas The Botanical Garden (21353) since it was teased a few days ago. The post LEGO Announces Live Set Reveal on October 22 appeared first on The Brick Fan.

LEGO has just started the Double Insider Points shopping event on the LEGO Shop as well as some new promotions that have just launched. In addition to earning 2x points on your purchases, you can also get the LEGO Bakery (40696) with purchases of $200 from now until October 25, while supplies last. There’s also the Kiki’s Coconut Attack & Steve and Baby Panda polybag bundle with purchases of $50 in Animal Crossing, Despicable Me 4, Fortnite, Minecraft, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Super Mario. Also from now until October 20, there are discounts on select sets which you can only see if you’re logged into your Insiders account.

Today is the last day to get your orders in for the LEGO Halloween Pumpkin (40697) promotion on the LEGO Shop. Currently for the US, it is still available with purchases of $120.

The Adults Welcome section of the LEGO Shop has provided a teaser image of the upcoming LEGO Ideas The Botanical Garden (21353). The garden seems to be rather large, probably the size of modular and it looks to include a number of minifigures as well. The caption shows the set as a campaign promo so it doesn’t look like LEGO wasn’t ready to show it yet but hopefully the official reveal should be coming soon. **Via Jay’s Brick Blog** The post LEGO Ideas The Botanical Garden (21353) Teaser appeared first on The Brick Fan.

Presumably the last LEGO shop set that will be released this year is the Bakery (40696). The set has 376 pieces and we’re assuming it’ll require a $200 purchase, similar to the previous shop sets. The front of the Bakery has your typical boutique style design with the two windows on the sides of the door. Inside the windows, there are two giant cupcakes which is probably deceptive marketing. The awning uses a combination of red and dark red slopes. The bakery sign uses a sticker and there’s a croissant logo above it. On the second floor, there are some more smaller windows with some dark green awning above them. On the back side of the bakery, it has an open concept as there is no back wall. This has stuck with all four of the shops that have released this year. The bottom floor has a showcase showing some of...

I started using Instagram in the few years or so, mostly to browse LEGO builds and occasionally post some of mine. This is how I found some fantastic builders—and they were one of the reasons that encouraged me to start building more. One of those builders is Jannis Mavrostomos, aka Bricksized. I fell in love with his creations immediately—and now as a BrickNerd contributor, I have an excuse to ask all kinds of questions about him and his LEGO passions. Dan: Hey Jannis! Can you start by saying few words about yourself and how your LEGO building journey began? Jannis: I’m a soon-to-be forty LEGO-loving guy from Finland. During the days I work as an art director and co-owner in an ad agency. And during the night I build LEGO. My journey began five years ago. A classic story: When we had our first kid we bought him a bunch of...

Today’s guest article about builder’s block comes from Casey McCoy, an AFOL from Chicago. You can find him online on Flickr and Instagram. Beating Builder’s Block Builder’s Block: It’s happened to me – it’s probably happened to you. You’re working on a MOC and you get stuck. You have an idea as to where the build should go or maybe a vague idea of what it should look like, but no concept of how to get to the destination. Don’t be frustrated! This is completely normal for a lot of creatives who can’t just flip on the creativity like a light switch. “Builder’s Block” comes from a similar subject in creative writing with “writer’s block.” Between the two, the general definition of such a block is defined as “the inability to access one's internal creativity.” Sometimes your mind just feels completely blank, like Emmet’s at the start of the 2014 LEGO...
