LEGO on their social media accounts have started the teasers for the upcoming LEGO Ideas Dungeons & Dragons Dragon’s Keep: Journey’s End set.

The teaser video shows a skeleton minifigure inside the Gelatinous Cube along with some other objects. The official reveal of the set should be coming soon so stay tuned. Time to party up. We’re oozing with anticipation!

Today was supposed to be the general release of the LEGO Micro Rocket Launchpad (40712) gift with purchase set on the LEGO Shop but it looks like that won’t be happening, at least in the US. Unless there’s some sort of delay on the LEGO Shop, it appears that the set has been sold out since it doesn’t even show up in the cart even after adding the required $200 to get it. Once big clue was that it wasn’t available yesterday when the promotional period for LEGO Insiders was still going. LEGO Brand Stores could still have them in stock so I recommend calling them to check. If you’re not a LEGO Insider, I highly suggest signing up for this free program as you can earn points towards discounts and other LEGO items that are exclusive to it.

Not long ago, BrickNerd guest contributor Jesse Gros wrote a piece that, like any good article, left my mind’s wheels churning. I wondered, was artificial intelligence impacting the LEGO community? Could it change the way we build MOCs and truly break barriers for accessibility? Was effortless image spam disheartening MOC builders or just plain drowning them out with Instagram’s algorithm? Good, bad, or ugly, AI has multiple sides—and you know me, I love to sit back and pontificate from the safety of a keyboard on tough topics. So I’m going to try my hand at answering the question: what does the future hold for LEGO fans? Could AI replace human creation of LEGO MOCs or even official sets? AI and LEGO is this the first AI-generated physical LEGO build? Let’s begin with the obvious: right now, AI doesn’t understand the LEGO system. While some AI software can generate images that share...

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons and D&D Beyond has given a little update on what kind of things will be going on to celebrate the event. We already know that we’ll be getting a LEGO Ideas set with the Dragon’s Keep: Journey’s End by BoltBuilds and an illustration of Epic Battle Relief Painting by chainsaw yu 電鋸鋸鋸鋸 will be in the instructions. The details of the set are still under wraps but it was rumored that it will be an April release which coincides with D&D Beyond mentioning it briefly. It is said that’ll have 3,745 pieces and will retail for $359.99. Of course, we’ll just have to wait until LEGO officially reveals the set to get the accurate information. Another rumor that has surfaced in the past few days is that there will be a whole LEGO Collectibles Minifigure line dedicated to Dungeons & Dragons...

For most LEGO fans, this sword might appear to be just another custom third-party injection-molded offering. However, for anyone involved in the minifigure modding world, this is immediately recognized as one of Detroitika’s many handcrafted masterpieces. Not a single aspect of the sword you see below was injected into a molded form. Instead, sections of the sword were shaped out of raw plastic using various methods and later assembled together into the final product. Cutting, lathing, sanding, drilling, gluing, painting and etching were all necessary processes in the creation of this exceptional piece. So where did it all start? When I mentioned the usage of “raw plastic” I was referring to sprues. Sprues are the result of molten plastic left in injection channels which solidify after the injection-molding occurs. These sprues are attached to the product being produced but are not intended to be part of the finished item. They are...

Image via Wikipedia The Phantom, aka The Ghost Who Walks, was created by Lee Falk and first published on the 17th of February 1936. Pre-dating Batman and Superman, The Phantom was the first fictional hero to wear the skintight costume synonymous with modern comic-book superheroes. In one form or another, The Phantom has continued to be published since its creation and is currently available in comic book form in Australia and many parts of Europe. In Australia, the comic strip first appeared in 1936 in The Australian Women’s Mirror and, since 1948, it has been published by FREW Publications as an ongoing comic book series. Even today, it still has a cult following among an older demographic of fans. From the 1960s to the 1990s, many young Australian comic readers first encountered The Phantom via the inclusion of the comic in showbags at the local Royal Agricultural Shows. Showbags started as...

It's fairly well known that I have an affinity with frogs—LEGO frogs—and love building with them. What’s generally less known (and less posted) is that I’m also quite fond of playing with babies. Again, LEGO babies.  Throw in the fact that I’m one of BrickNerd’s resident LEGO Space posers (sorry for missing you, UniTron), and it was probably a good bet that I’d be the one to talk about the LEGO’s gift with purchase 40712 Micro Rocket Lanchpad, or as everyone calls it “BABY SPACE.” set provided by LEGO To answer your question of “How do I get this!?” the GWP is available with a purchase of at least 200 EUR/ 200 USD/ 320 AUD at your respective LEGO Store or Shop at Home. The promotion is available to Insiders (free to join) through Feb. 18th and then to everyone until Feb. 25th or until supplies are gone. Building Babies? While I'm...
