Next up on our reviews of the LEGO Marvel Spidey and His Amazing Friends sets is Spidey vs. Green Goblin (10793). This 4+ set has 84 pieces and retails for $19.99. Minifigures For a small set, there are actually three minifigures in the set, Spidey, Ghost Spider, and Green Goblin. Spidey has on the red and blue outfit and has the metallic gold detailing on the torso and the eyes as shown in the series. Ghost Spider has on her purple and white outfit with the metallic gold symbols on both sides of the torso. Her arms do use the Man-Bat arms with the wings and as a result, they’re stuck in a wider position whether they are raised or lowered. Lastly we have the Green Goblin who looks to be a reused minifigure from last year. He still has the purple outfit with the green arms and head which shows...

In honor of International Women’s Day, we’re featuring this article about the WBI Quilt collab from the Women’s Brick Initiative, who have since brought this concept to LEGO conventions around the world.

More than 35 women (and allies) from three continents sent in over 220 LEGO squares to create the WBI BrickCon Quilt.

LEGO has a rich corporate history. It’s only fitting that the LEGO building systems have now been used to capture some of the historical products, as well as occasional owner-family references. Join BrickNerd as we look at a sampling of the many sets with historical references, some of them very tiny! LEGO Building Systems (40505) is the latest LEGO House exclusive set. It pays homage to the three primary LEGO building systems: Duplo, System and Technic. One of the keys to LEGO’s early success was the implementation of a “system of play” where products were all compatible. I’m sure even Godtfred Kirk Christiansen (GKC - second generation owner) couldn’t have imagined how a “system of play” would eventually become a “system of systems”! In the set provided to BrickNerd by LEGO, each of the three systems is represented by an iconic product shrunk down in midi-scale on a separable display stand....
