Spring is in full bloom, and with that Easter and the end of March are upon us already: That can only mean one thing—it’s high time for our monthly LEGO community round-up! So sit back and enjoy this month’s Easter basket full of insightful articles, in-depth features, and wonderful videos from all across the LEGO community! We are lucky to have this many outlets and channels that keep creating incredible content, and these are the best of the month. Here at Bricknerd, we launched The AdoraBuild – our LEGO contest all about cute! We used color theory and composition in MOCs, experienced a world record and a parade of AT-ATs, and took a massive rover for a spin. We made our first steps with PyBricks, looked at the beginning of LEGO’s IP partnerships and the history of Fabuland, and went underground into a motorized mine. We even published instructions for a...

Is it really possible to completely catch up on sorting all your loose LEGO brick? Surely some reach this achievement! I at least tell myself this, hoping to stay motivated and get my collection to that point one day. But is there a way to sort faster? Perhaps it is time to sift instead of sort! Image via Brickfanatics For this article’s purpose I won’t be touching upon the actual various methods of sorting parts, as that has been covered many times before. Instead, I will take you on the journey of experimentation in making my own part sifter! I’ve had the idea to make one for well over a year, and finally used this article to motivate myself in getting it done (mostly!).

Arrakis, Spice, Desert… hearing these words when the LEGO Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter was revealed was a wonderful day if you are a nerd. Growing up in the 1980s, the book Dune and subsequent movies inspired my love of science fiction even more. So this got me thinking: When and how did all of these promotional tie-ins and intellectual property (IP) LEGO sets get started? How did we get from Classic Space or Pirates to an awesome branded flying mosquito? Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter by LEGO Expanding upon the original article “Everything You Want to Know About Tiny Themes: IPs” by fellow BrickNerd Griffin Rose, I wanted to look at the earliest instances of partnerships and co-branded sets that have since kicked off their modern onslaught of IP-based sets. Way Back When… Since the early days, LEGO has produced sets in collaboration with various other businesses. Some of the earliest of these...
