Finding LEGO-themed clothing in adult sizes can be a problem. There have been times when LEGOLAND theme parks or LEGOLAND Discovery Centres have stocked clothing for adults, but it’s usually limited to t-shirts, jackets or hats. Occasionally there have been t-shirts in Uniqlo, sportswear from Adidas and various clothing from Target US. And, of course, there are any number of print-on-demand or fan-designed products available from various online sources. But this story is not about any of those retailers—rather, it is about Target Australia, adult-sized pyjamas (PJs) and the patience of AFOLs. The PJs as seen on the Target Australia website One of the things I like to do is highlight to other LEGO fans when new licensed products become available, with the hope that they will do the same for me. I’m as big a fan of the themed merchandise as I am of LEGO sets and parts. If it’s...

What math is hidden in your favorite circular LEGO sets, how do designers build the perfect sphere, and how do numbers magically make LEGO geometry work so perfectly? To help answer those questions, we are pleased to feature another guest article from Deep Shen, a well-rounded builder who discusses the hidden math of LEGO circles and spheres. Deep’s portfolio of work can be found at Towering Brick Creations, on his Flickr page and on Instagram. A Shield and A Globe In August 2023, LEGO released a new set (76262) that creates a reasonably accurate replica of Captain America’s Shield from the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). The initial fan reactions to this set were less than positive, with some people comparing it unfavorably to the bigger (and more expensive) custom version sold by Bricker Builds. That particular version is built as a sculpture created by stacking regular plates, which makes it far...

LEGO has revealed another gift with purchase set on the LEGO Shop with the LEGO Creator Winter Market Stall (40602). The 271 piece set has a little stall that is selling toys of a train, rocket, and nutcracker soldier. There’s no information yet on how to get it but I assume it’ll be during the Black Friday event. Kids can enjoy the holiday season with the adorable Winter Market Stall (40602). The brick-built stall includes a cash register and 3 toy mini-models (a train, a rocket and a nutcracker soldier). At the top of the stall is an attic that stores 2 Christmas gifts. The set also includes a Christmas tree, a snowman and 2 minifigures wearing Christmas sweaters. Kids aged 8+ can proudly display this Christmas LEGO® set, which will help develop their storytelling. The post LEGO Creator Winter Market Stall (40602) Revealed appeared first on The Brick Fan.

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...

There are now official images of the upcoming LEGO Marvel Taxi (5008076) gift with purchase set. The set does come in the flimsy yellow box packaging with the instructions booklet in the front. Note that the description of the set say the set will include 5 decorated elements. I can confirm that they will all be printed bricks and no stickers. The Marvel Taxi will only have a limited run as you can get it for free with a purchase of the LEGO Marvel Avengers Tower (76269) during Black Friday weekend from November 24-27. The LEGO® Marvel Taxi set is a fun add-on build for the LEGO® Marvel Avengers Tower (76269). The set includes a focal taxi model with 5 decorated elements across the vehicle. There are 4 minifigure characters included: Black Panther, two outriders, and a taxi driver. The post LEGO Marvel Taxi (5008076) Official Images appeared first on The...

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...

LEGO has released the designer video for the upcoming LEGO Icons Natural History Museum (10326). Designers Chris McVeigh and Aswin Visser talks about some of the little details of the set for the paleontology, geology, space, and minifigure history exhibits. The 4,014 piece Natural History Museum releases on December 1 for $299.99 but you can still pre-order it today and it’ll qualify for the LEGO Ideas Tribute to Galileo Galilei (40595) gift with purchase set.

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. It’s still too early to know when or how it will be released but it’s possible that it’ll go with the Megapolis City or with a price requirement purchase in the Monkie Kid theme.
