An interesting email came in today from LEGO where they are introducing a new buyback program called LEGO Brick Take Back. LEGO is basically buying back your preowned LEGO bricks and you can trade it in for LEGO e-Gift Cards. It seems that LEGO is buy bulk back and they are offering $6 per pound (USD) for conforming bricks which include LEGO bricks and elements that are fully disassembled and in good condition, LEGO Minifigures and Mini-dolls (no need to disassemble), and LEGO Baseplates. Your parts are then checked to meet eligibility criteria and their goal is to keep as many bricks in play as possible. It looks like this is a test run to see the best way to accomplish their agenda.

Let’s get Nerdy about bridges! Today I thought it would be fun to do a little deep-dive into something that’s been around for a very long time in human history: bridges. And since you’re here on BrickNerd, I figure we’ll keep the discussion about LEGO bridges, sound cool? Ok, let’s get into it! Let’s start this off by stating the obvious, bridges are cool. In real life, absolutely. In LEGO, oh ab-so-lutely! And there are a LOT of ways to build a bridge. When I first started thinking about writing an article about LEGO bridges I did a quick search on Flickr and my first reaction was “there are a LOT of bridges!” I pitched the idea to the rest of the nerds over here and within a few minutes I had about a dozen examples of bridges that people in the community had built over the years. So yeah, bridges...

Today is AFOL Day at the LEGO House in Billund, which is the sort-of-official start of the Skærbæk Fan Weekend, the world’s most international LEGO event. I figured this would be a good day to tell you about my very first encounter with other adult enthusiasts of the brick—you see, I dove straight in at the deep end! Me at my very first LEGO event, with my new friends Megan Rothrock and Mark Stafford. Many people probably start their AFOL life when they meet somebody else who turns out to be a LEGO fan, and then visit a local show, before maybe eventually working their way up to an international event. Not so with me: My very first encounter with AFOLs was at the LEGO Fan Weekend (now Skærbæk Fan Weekend) in 2012, which makes this sort of an anniversary year for me: It’s the tenth year of me going to...

LEGO Fan Media Days is currently going on right now in Billund and one piece of news that has come out of it is that LEGO Ideas will be bumping up the parts count for fans to create larger projects. According to Brickset, the maximum parts count will be upped to 5,000 pieces which allows fans to make larger and more detailed projects but will also potentially make them more expensive. There’s no word yet on when it will be implemented. The current parts count, while still a lot, is at 3,000 although LEGO has made exceptions on a few sets that have went over that limit. What are your thoughts on this big change to LEGO Ideas? The post LEGO Ideas Increasing Parts Count appeared first on The Brick Fan. Original linkOriginal author: Allen "Tormentalous" Tran
