We’ve received word that the “sold out” LEGO Disney 100 Years Celebration (40600) gift with purchase set will be coming back in a few days. From September 23-30, you can get the set with $100 purchase of LEGO Disney and Disney DUPLO. This also excludes Star Wars and Marvel even though they’re owned by Disney. If you remember, the Disney 100 Years Celebration promotion went live in July and it sold out in less than a day. LEGO Brand Stores also reportedly didn’t get much in stock as well. Either LEGO had some production shortage of the set when it initially rolled out or they produced some more in the months since then due to the limited run a few months ago. … Continue The post LEGO Disney 100 Years Celebration (40600) Promotion Returning Soon appeared first on The Brick Fan.

Today’s article is brought to you by BrickNerd Contributor Emeritus and LEGO Masters contestant Philip Straatsma. BrickSlopes Do you have a LEGO-related bucket list? If so, what is on it? Is it a set that you want to own, a MOC that you have not built yet, or maybe an experience you wish to have? For me an experience high on my list has always been to attend BrickSlopes, a LEGO fan event in Salt Lake City, Utah.  I’d been to Salt Lake City once before in 2021 and fell in love with the place. No matter where you looked, mountains surrounded you. And, maybe it was the thin air speaking, but somehow the sky just seemed bigger in Salt Lake City—explain that to me. But I think where SLC really shines is in its AFOL community. When I was there in 2021 for an unrelated event, ULUG, the local LEGO...

The assortment of LEGO food elements is rich enough to build a creator’s sweetest dreams: food scenes! Think about building the grocery store, organizing a festive dinner, opening a LEGO high-class restaurant or cooking some great delicious life-size MOC. But the more LEGO makes food parts, the more we touch upon a fun riddle as builders as we identify these parts: What is this twig part from - a carrot or tomato? If it's a simple cheese slope, what type of cheese is this? The ambiguity is part of the fun, but it smells like a perfect puzzle that can be solved and cooked in our newest media show! The Premise of the Show Welcome to Food Detectives - the first show that combines LEGO cooking and criminalistics! The participants have to become a real Sherlock Holmes and solve the "culinary crime" analyzing the evidence left behind by our famous chef,...

This is the story of my New Hashima build for Brickworld 2023. Technically, it’s all Simon’s fault. And a deer. But we’ll get to that later… Let’s Start At The End You may recall our fearless leader, Dave, on his way back from BW Chicago, had the misfortune of hitting a deer, and then being hit by a tractor-trailer. Miraculously (and thankfully), he was unscathed, but his car and LEGO inside… not so much. But if you look closely at the picture on the right, you can see the one box with some big letters on it that survived. That’s mine! I mean, yeah, I was concerned with Dave and all, but dude! What’s the deal with my build!?!?! View fullsize View fullsize Back To The Beginning Let’s go back a few months. My old pal Simon was recruiting people for this New Hashima Cyberpunk (whatever that is, I’m still not...

Best of BrickNerd - Article originally published September 16, 2022. Large MOCs or even layouts can often make your jaw drop. But it’s not always the big stuff that makes you feel that way; minifigs can illicit that reaction at as well. Especially when it’s done in a theme that’s as limitless as fantasy with excellent combinations, and of course, beautiful presentation. A great example of this are the stunning minifigs that Thorgrihm is posting on a regular basis. It’s like going on an adventure when admiring all the different styles and combinations.
