Bendigo Bricks is an annual event held in the regional city of Bendigo, Australia. Bendigo is the third largest city in the state of Victoria. It has a thriving and active local LUG, Bendigo LEGO User Group, with around 45 people attending their monthly meetings. This year over 130 exhibitors displayed at the event with a number traveling from interstate to attend. I chatted to some of the interstate AFOL exhibitors about the reasons why they attend, and the logistics in travelling with a MOC. For those readers not familiar with the geography of Australia, BrickNerd has added a nice colorful map of the various states and territories for you to follow along. Amanda Amanda and her husband, Grant, live just over the border of Victoria, in Thurgoona, New South Wales. Their three hour drive was one of the shortest journeys of any of the interstate visitors. Amanda’s colourful MOC featured...

All my contributions to BrickNerd to date have explored various topics in the LEGO train theme. However, none of these articles have offered the most fundamental and yet familiar type of informative content: instructions! There is nothing more unifying in terms of content in our vast hobby than a set of building instructions. Every LEGO set has them, fan community sites such as Rebrickable, MOChub and others are dedicated to sharing this content, and countless times as a LEGO fan, I have been asked “do you have instructions for…”. Therefore, as an experiment in generating and sharing this type of content, this article will show you how to build the ubiquitous, often ignored, but endlessly useful ISO shipping container. Since the concept of multi-modal standardized shipping containers was introduced in the 1960s, the ISO shipping container has become a vital backbone of global trade delivering products to every corner of the...

If it has a LEGO logo… it can NPU! Many an AFOL started with humble beginnings. LEGO Duplo is a theme intended for the littlest of LEGO fans, the future of the hobby. But if you dig out that old Duplo part bin, you may find yourself with a great deal of Nifty Parts Usage (NPU) potential! You know it, you love it. Duplo The Duplo parts catalog is pretty vast, ranging from animals to aliens, food to furniture, and anything in between! And, of course, it’s primarily within the same system as any LEGO piece, although you gotta get creative here and there. Standard bricks can sit atop most Duplo bricks, as they are twice the size of your standard brick of the same stud count. Neat, eh? View fullsize View fullsize And because Duplo pieces are within system, naturally a bunch of builders have gone crazy, using them for...

The LEGO Art Gotham City (76271) is the first Batman: The Animated Series set and it features a skyline of the city. It consists of 4,210 pieces and retails for $299.99. Minifigures Batman has variant with this TAS version which is mostly gray with black dual-molded boots. The paper cape is two-colored, black on the outside and dark blue on the inside. He has a double-sided head with a stern look on one side and an angry look on the other. The cowl is a new piece with an additional piece of plastic on the inside for the white eyes. I’m not sure if there’s something wrong with mine or if like that for every one but the cowl doesn’t fully cover the regular eyes and you can see them underneath. I believe the my copy of the cowl is miscut. His accessory is the Batarang. Harley Quinn has on her...

Since 2016, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of ‘big’ LEGO sets, and what used to be a relatively rare event is becoming run-of-the-mill. As well as identifying the best method to judge the size of a set, we’ll appraise recent trends and the wider landscape of big sets, and look back on two decades of LEGO’s ‘Big Beasts’. Image by Chris Clarke So What Is A ‘Big’ Set Anyway? There is no conclusive way to measure how ‘big’ a LEGO set is, which is essential if we want to assess the value for money (or lack thereof). Piece count has been the traditional measure, but the release of 31203 World Map and its 11,000 or so tiny round tiles, took away any remaining authority the already flawed ‘price per piece’ metric had.
