Today’s guest article comes from Josh Parkinson, a LEGO builder specializing in forced perspective. He shares with us the build progression behind his charming North Pole MOC. Sometimes things don’t go as planned. I’m Josh Parkinson, and my first year of MOC building was a productive one. So much so that I got featured here in BrickNerd a little less than one year after starting to create my own creations. A year later, my look back at my progress was bittersweet. It included my biggest build, my first con, but also a huge gap in my MOC building where life was completely disrupted. No matter what we achieve, there’s the part of us that longs for what we didn’t accomplish, the cons we didn’t get to attend, the numbers we didn’t garner, or the work that we couldn’t complete (or complete to our satisfaction). Especially when life gets in the way. And it...

Welcome back to Gringotts Bank! In our first exploration, we followed a questionable goblin and opened Vault 687. Today’s journey to Gringotts will give us more color, secrets and adrenalin because we’re going to rob the wizarding bank! Remember how Harry Potter was so interested in the secrets of Gringotts’ depths? After six years of waiting (poor Harry!), he’ll finally get to explore them again but maybe not as he expected. Be ready for our heroic mission: Bellatrix Lestrange keeps one of Voldemort’s horcruxes in a high-security vault, and the destruction of these dark artifacts is crucial to defeating the Dark Lord. Today we have two fun tasks as we revisit 76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank: 1) photograph this second part in an absolutely new way by giving more color to the magical building; and 2) re-tell part of the eighth movie but make the atmosphere seem more alive rather than use...

Welcome to Diagon Alley—a hidden street where we can find all the magical things needed for a new school year at Hogwarts! Today, we'll enjoy visiting one of the most beautiful buildings in the Wizarding World, Gringotts Bank! Gringotts is a fantastic object of art and one of the biggest sets in the LEGO Harry Potter product line. But its size is only one of its values. Every part, side, and corner of the bank is rich in well-thought-out details that nearly guarantee that any builder or visitor, for that matter, experiences an atmosphere of magic. Join us today as we go on a photographic journey of Gringotts Bank, explore the hidden treasures inside, and investigate goblin lore as told through LEGO and a lens. LEGO provided BrickNerd with 76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank, which I’ve found to be a wonderful architectural creation full of clever and fun surprises. Behind the spectacular...

Earlier today, we got a first look at the LEGO Ninjago Micro Ninjago City (40703) but the real question is how to get it. Well according to LEGO China Weibo, it’ll actually be a LEGO Insiders reward which will cost 6,500 points to redeem it. Every quarter in 2024, LEGO will drop a new set in January, April, July, and October and it’ll cost 6,500 each. Yes, you read that right. I believe this will be one of the more expensive items that have been released in the Rewards Center, next to the LEGO DC Batpod (5004590) which cost 15,000 points when it first launched. As a reference, $1 equals 6.5 points so that means you’ll need to spend $1,000 each quarter to get it or $4,000 in 2024 to get the set of four builds. To be honest, you can actually get all four full sized sets at their current...

LEGO China has revealed a new LEGO Ninjago set with the Micro Ninjago City (40703) which could be a future gift with purchase set. It contains 339 pieces but the price requirement to get it is still unknown at this time. It is basically a downscaled version of the Ninjago City (70620) from The LEGO Ninjago Movie. If you look on the back of the box, it shows three other sets in silhouettes and it looks like it’ll be sort of a Houses of the World thing where there are Ninjago GWPs spread throughout the year. 40704 is the Micro Ninjago Docks and is based on the Ninjago City Docks (70657) also from the movie. 40705 is the Micro Ninjago Gardens and a smaller Ninjago City Gardens (71741). Lastly, 40706 is the Micro Ninjago City Markets which is the latest large-scale Ninjago set 71799. Looking at the scale of them, they’re...
