Alright, BrickNerd fans! We’re almost halfway through Nerdvember, our month-long contest extravaganza dedicated to all things nerdy—this year specifically survival themed! We have some amazing LEGO to give away and all you have to do is build a Nerdly. Survivor Nerdly? (Is that like Bear Grylls walking barefoot on LEGO?) Glad you asked! Luckily it has nothing to do with eating bugs or treading water in shark-infested seas. Although it could, if that’s what you want your Nerdly to do. Survival is the key because Nerdly IS a survivor! Send Nerdly into space to reenact Gravity. Give ‘em a rubber band and MacGyver out of a sticky situation. Put Nerdly on a boat with a tiger… or make Nerdly the Eye of the Tiger(we’ll get back to that)! Did Nerdly survive Fall Guys? Are they in a burning room thinking everything is fine? Or maybe Nerdly is high atop an island...

Best of BrickNerd - Article originally published November 23, 2022. There are many acronyms, terms and phrases used to describe various things within the world of AFOLs. Most of them are fairly common, and you can find a fantastic glossary of general LEGO terms on sites like The Brothers Brick or Firestar Toys. But that only tells part of the story, as there is a whole additional world of terms used by individuals or found in local communities that are usually unknown to the wider breadth of LEGO fans. These are the slang terms of the AFOL community. After more than 12 months of research and discussions, I’ve collected a list of slang terms you may encounter when talking to AFOLs from around the world. Some items have multiple names. Some are descriptive, some are comedic. Some may only be used by a few builders while others are commonplace terms used...

A few days ago, we got a first look at the LEGO Monkie Kid Megapolis City 5th Anniversary (80054) and there is now an image of a potential gift with purchase set called the Monkie Kid 5th Anniversary Cake (6476261). The cake features brick-built faces of various Monkie Kid characters as well as a minifigure of the Monkey King with a flag that shows the number 5.

Today’s guest article comes from Fabian Lindblad, a 23-year-old collector from Norway who focuses on LEGO history including sets, prototypes, test parts and paperwork from 1970 and earlier. LEGO in Norway Last year the fan community celebrated 60 years of LEGO around the world, so it may come as a surprise that Norway is celebrating the 70th anniversary of LEGO this year. How did Norway become the first country outside Denmark to produce and sell LEGO, and why don’t we hear more about it? Today, we will look into the history and items of the short-lived Norwegian LEGO factory.  The Norwegian LEGO logo top left, the Norwegian factory top right and a selection of Norwegian-made LEGO on the bottom.  As a brief aside, collecting items with a story has always been important for me, and it is probably why I have ended up collecting and researching these specific parts of LEGO...
