Original MOC from lokiloki At BrickNerd, we love writing and we love LEGO! Bailey Fullarton has already explored the different fonts and typography used by our favorite brick brand in a series of three fascinating articles, and just yesterday we read about a LUG collab that brings people together with a similar plan. So what would happen if you combine them into a challenge? In March, builders in the French forum Brickpirate took part in a new BPchallenge. Members had to build a creation that contained brick-built letters, i.e., letters composed of LEGO parts. They were free to choose the theme, format, and scale. As examples, a few official LEGO sets were mentioned, such as the signs for 10218 Pet Shop and 10260 Downtown Diner or the Avengers logo from 76269 Avengers Tower Battle.

LEGO has revealed a “new” LEGO City Space set with the Space Explorers Pack (60441). Even though it’s a new set, it is just a 3-in-1 Super Pack featuring some of the newer released City Space sets including the Space Construction Mech (60428), Interstellar Spaceship (60430), and the Space Hoverbike (30663) polybag. The whole pack will retail for $31.99 which is a bit cheaper of you would have bought all three sets separately. I priced the polybag at $5 which brings the price of all three sets to $34.99 so you save $3. Most of you may pass on this one if you have the sets already separately but completionists may be interested in it. The set will release on May 1.

Today’s guest article comes from Charlie Stephens, an AFOL from Virginia and a member of NOVA-LUG known for building GBCs and mosaics. You can find him online on Instagram. When forming a collaborative LEGO build, you don’t always need to have a standard. For efforts that are smaller, involve fewer builders, or are more character-focused, you can definitely get by with a few discussions on how large the builds will be and what scale you’ll be working in. But if you’re looking to have a larger, consistent display, you’ll definitely want to form a building standard. Members of NOVA-LUG recently went through this process, so follow along and we can show you some of the lessons we learned along the way! Getting Everyone on Board During discussions at BrickFair Fredericksburg 2023, we had a handful of folks who wanted to collaborate on a build. As we were tossing around ideas on...
