Next up on our reviews of the LEGO Fortnite sets, we take a look at one of the most iconic things in the game with the Supply Llama (77071). The set has 691 pieces and retails for $39.99. The build features the Fortnite Llama pinata which drops a number of supplies in the game. The foundation of the Llama is mostly made up of various color plates while using some SNOT on side plates for the side panels later on. At the end of Bag 2, we have the back section where the supplies are stored. The area has some black slope pieces for the supplies to drop out easily. There’s also a “door” that you can fill up the Llama with supplies. Bag 3 is where some of the many repetitive parts are for the Supply Llama. There are plates that you use various colored cheese and curved slopes to...

Once upon a time, I was a real-bricks-only builder. And—I was biased. Not only did I personally prefer physical bricks, but it seemed to me that digital building was basically cheating. Too easy, too fake. Not in the true spirit of LEGO. Like putting wax on fruit to make it shiny. In one word, insincere. (Fun fact: sin cere… is Latin for “without wax.” Okay, so it comes from jewelry, not fruit… but still.) I doubt I would ever have put it quite so straightforwardly back then. I just kind of thought, “Aw, here’s a build that would have been good, ruined! It’s all digital and there’s nothing really there!” I even remember with burning distinctness a comment I made on a digital build, after saying that it was too bad it wasn’t real bricks. “I don’t know, I just have that, ‘Why digital?’ mentality. :P ” I was conscious of my bias, even back then—we’re talking 8-10 years ago—but...

It's great to interview such a talented and creative LEGO artist as yourself! Please, tell us a bit about yourself and your love of LEGO. Alanboar: Hi, I am Alanboar, a LEGO fan and brick artist from Hong Kong. I have loved playing with LEGO since I was a child. I remember my mom gave me my first set: 6380.

I once worked in graphic design,...

A few months after I wrote our deep-dive article into the world of LEGO chibi-style building, I started noticing some very high-quality chibi builds appearing online by a builder unknown to me. At first, I was dismayed at the thought of not having included them among the builders referenced in the article. However, to my personal relief, I learned that they had only started sharing chibi builds online after the article had been published. Whew 😅. Hong Meiling serves as A Stage boss of the 6th Touhou Project game... and also as Justin's flickr avatar That builder’s name is Justin Chang, but you are likely more familiar with his online alias of lavishlump (Instagram). I reached out to Justin, who later told me that he stumbled across our chibi article just as he was learning the ropes of chibi building (and trying to reverse-engineer Mike’s and Javier’s builds himself). Now after...
