Yet another LEGO Ideas project that had reached the 10,000 supporter mark has been removed from the Review Stage and this time it is Mr. Brick Coffee Pot. Designed by RainbowToTT, the build resembles the very recognizable Mr. Coffee coffee maker. The project page has been completely removed and there will be no mentioning of it ever again, as with previous projects that have also been removed. We’ll only know the reasoning for it being removed if the designer comes out and posts something about it, unless they’re on a NDA. The lack of transparency only starts rumors and we just want the truth. The post LEGO Ideas Mr. Brick Coffee Pot Removed from Review Stage appeared first on The Brick Fan.

There’s something magical about walking down Fifth Avenue in New York City with a couple of new LEGO sets tucked under your arm. As I made my way from Grand Central through Bryant Park and Times Square to the flagship LEGO Store taking photos of the sets for a bit of a travelogue, I was dumbfounded that curious New Yorkers and tourists alike stopped me to ask, “What are those!?” When I told them they were the brand-new Wicked LEGO sets, I was met with wide eyes and a declaration that “I will certainly have to buy those!” The excitement was palpable—after all, it’s not every day you see a Broadway show immortalized in LEGO form. It felt like I was carrying a piece of Oz somewhere over the rainbow through the (not-quite-yellow brick) streets of Manhattan. This short day in the “Emerald City” was made possible by both LEGO for...

When LEGO bricks mimic the beauty of nature, they have the power to bring joy and inspiration. Few builders embody this as vividly as Bram, aka skabram.builds., whose LEGO birds soar with lifelike detail and artistry. A nature enthusiast from the Netherlands, Bram has turned his passion for wildlife into stunning creations that capture the essence of their feathered muses. We had the pleasure of speaking with Bram to learn more about his creative process, the challenges of capturing a bird’s spirit in brick form, and his advice for taking your LEGO builds outdoors for a photo adventure. Prepare to learn about his aviary, craft, and deep appreciation for nature. Ann: Hello Bram! It’s great to meet you and discuss your LEGO creations here at BrickNerd. Could you tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got into LEGO? Bram: Hey, I’m Bram from the Netherlands, and I rediscovered...

I have written before about LEGO model ships. Many of those were fairly small but there were some mantelpiece-worthy models, starting with 398 USS Constellation in 1977. Many years later were two Maersk container ships (10152/10155 and 10241), one of which (the Triple-E) had a proper model ship stand. Then we had 21313 Ship in a Bottle for really small mantelpieces and 10294 Titanic for really big ones. Now, three years after the Titanic set, LEGO is releasing the 10335 Endurance, a model of a ship that was built three years after Titanic and sank three years after Titanic. Her story is very different though. Join me as we go on our own expedition to the Antarctic, just like that fateful ship, as we take a look at both the history of the voyage and the set itself. Who Was Ernest Shackleton? Ernest Shackleton. Photo from shackleton.com Ernest Shackleton was born in...

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. My LEGO Story I have been building with LEGO for… forever. I can’t tell you a time I didn’t have LEGO in my life. With two older LEGO siblings, I grew up on a steady diet of DUPLO and transitioned to LEGO at a ripe age. Around age 12-13, I was introduced to the online LEGO community when my older brother found BZPower. That led me to find Brickshelf, MOCpages, Brickworld, and be inspired to build my own MOCs. Can’t say I’ve kept the affinity for brownie batter later in life… During this formative time, I made wonderful friends online and in person who were excellent at building with LEGO, many of whom I am still close with to this day. But there was a difference. From 2011...

LEGO has just announced your newest LEGO Ideas set from the First 2024 Review Stage. There were 48 total submissions and the winning design is the Minerals Display by ddf72. Congratulations to the winner but obviously it’s pretty disappointing that only one project out of 48 was chosen. I could’ve seen at least two or three more projects chosen but I guess LEGO didn’t see it that way. The post LEGO Ideas First 2024 Review Stage Winner Announced appeared first on The Brick Fan.
