Forget the typical Western Main Street with a bank, saloon and the sheriff’s office. This Mexican layout shows a different take on a Western theme, and is a wonderful collaboration of Vesna, MstrOfPppts, Peter and Anakin2001_lego. The layout is filled with plenty of buildings, all of them different but with a coherent style. The vegetation and rockwork bring a bit more color into it, and the well-made minifig combinations make it come alive. And if you look closely there are plenty fun details like the piñata that’s hidden on the roof. I could go on but Vesna aka Readhead1982 was so kind to tell us a bit more about this MOC. So make sure to read on and take a closer look at some of the close-ups! Inspiration Marco: Can you tell me how you and the others came up with this idea?  Vesna: The idea was initially proposed by MstrOfPppts, and...

Best of BrickNerd - Article originally published December 12, 2022. Now released in English, the book that originally came out as “A Life With LEGO” has got a new title: “The LEGO Story”. And as stories go, I promise that this is one you will—as a BrickNerd reader—want to check out. The original Danish book - with its gorgeous cover - and the English version, looking a bit more like a technical overview Before we start, though: a little disclaimer. You may have noticed that at BrickNerd, we don’t really do traditional reviews (well, apart from Dave’s 10307 UCS Christmas Tree one from last month) unless we think of a highly creative, culturally significant, or in-depth angle. So clearly, this is not a standard review. But I’ll let you know a bit about the book—hopefully enough that you’ll realise why I believe you really ought to check it out. I also...
